June has been mostly cold and rainy, so on nice days, we really take advantage of the outdoors! Taysum has really been enjoying his bike and rides it all the time! There was even one day that was nice enough to play in the sprinkler on the tramp. Our kids LOVE it!!
Hayden is growing so fast. We just love, love, love having him in our family!!
A few weeks ago, Bailey woke up with 9 spider bites on her face! This picture is actually a week later. We put medicine on her face, but it still looks like it might scar; so we're hoping since she's so young they will fade and not be noticeable!
The weekend of the 11th we had a very special treat! Uncle Nick and Aunt Lindi were in town! Uncle Nick was up in Montana taking some tests to be able to apply to be a firefighter in Montana. He did very well on his exams and we're very hopeful they'll be moving closer to home the beginning of next year! It's been nearly a year since we have seen them, so it was wonderful to have them here!! It was great for Hayden to finally meet one of his uncles he was named after!
That night we had a wonderful Stake Women's conference about the temple! The Caldwells spoke (a family in our ward whom I really love; he's also our Stake President). I was reminded that when we decide to go to the temple, we need to let NOTHING get in our way! While I was at the meeting, Ken and the kids saw a beautiful rainbow in front of our house.
On Sunday we got together at Lindsay's for a farewell/early birthday dinner for Nick and Lindi. My Dad and Nick have the same birthday, so that makes it kind of fun. I just had to get a picture of Uncle Nick with Hayden Nicholas in his firefighter outfit!
We love our Aunt Lindi!
This picture reminded me of the little girl on that sunblock ad
Aunt Lindsay and Aunt Lindi
Carissa really likes our baby and Grandma is always good to help her hold him
Nick and Lindi with Grandpa
Ken is always so great with the kids
Nick, Lindi and Dad
Tyler, Grandma, Celeste, Mom and Hayden
You know that song, "Let Them be Little"? Well, this redifines the line, "Let them sleep in the middle!"
We're loving our summer so far; especially the weekends and the family that visits! The good times have just begun!
Great job keeping everything updated, I have been such a slacker, it is nice to remeber everything that has been going on and see all the cute pics on your blog. I need to get busy and do a catch-up post sometime:)
In the middle of church, Bailey shouts out: I hope Jesus coming!! 1/2/11
Taysum got a card from his Kindergarten Teacher, Mrs. Floy, with a picture of her on it in the mail yesterday. Today he was tacking it to his bulletin board in his room and I heard him say, "I hope my teacher love me!" It was SO sweet! 8/13/10
At the pool, I asked Baiely if she wanted to wear her flip flops in the pool and she said, "No, I wear my feet." 7/10
Ken watched as Bailey tried to put up two fingers. He said, "Are you two?" and she said, "No...Peace!! Grandpa say Peace!" 7/10
We have some silk sunflowers in a basket as a centerpiece on our table. Along with the sunflowers there are some cat tails. The other night, Taysum informed us they are not cat tails, they are hot dog flowers! 6/10
I love the way Taysum's mind works...when I can figure it out! Tonight I made him a grilled cheese sandwhich for dinner; I told him it was hot and to wait for it to cool. He got up from the table and went to a fan we had going. He stood in front of it and opened his mouth wide and breathed in. He came back to the table, sat down and "blew the air" on to his sandwich!! He repeated this several times! I guess he thought the air from the fan would be cooler! Good thinking, T!! 6/9/10
I turned on some music and Bailey said, "Let's rock it, Mommy!! Rock and Roll!" 5/10
After a toot, which he politely excused himself for, Taysum said, "I have a Stinky Pete." (Toy Story II) 4/23/10
"This is the BEST dinner ever!!" Dinner was: chicken nuggets, french fries and pineapple. 9/09
We hung a picture of the Billings Temple in our living room. The next morning when T woke up and saw it he said, "It's the temple! I can't believe my eyes!" 9/09
Mom: Taysum, is Daddy silly? Taysum: No...Daddy's crazy!! 9/09
Some of Bailey's latest fun phrases: "Come on, Daddy (Mommy, Taysum)! Follow me!" "Help! Ayudame!" "Where's Taysum? Hmmm...you see him?" At stop lights and stop signs, "Ready, set....GO!"
"Stubby cake" How Taysum says stomachache. 7/13/09
This little conversation happened the other day while I was doing nothing in particular. Taysum, "Mom, what are you doing? Are you crazy?" Me, "I hope not!" 5/4/09
