Another Haircut

Last night I was out weeding the garden, and when I came in Kayle was so proud that he got himself ready for bed. Well the more I looked at him, I realized that what he'd actually done is gave himself a haircut, took a shower and put his pajamas on! I'm going to give up on trying to figure him out. Just when you think you've figured out all he could get into, he never fails to suprise me!

FIRST WATERMELON OF THE SEASON!

Just a Couple Funnies

I originally got on here to tell about how cute Kayson was yesterday. I had to run my car into Great Falls to get fixed, and on the ride home, Marge bought the kids milk shakes at Dairy Queen. (Thanks to Papa's suggestion. Marge is going to be speaking with you about that.) Well Kayson wanted a vanilla milk shake. He couldn't for the life of him say vanilla. He would say va-lil-la. Most of the ride home I was trying to help him pronounce it, when I finally noticed Marge and Mikayla Klinker just rolling with laughter. Mikayla is visiting from Germany, and she was even able to say it correctly by the time we got home. It was just so cute watching Kayson. He was so determined to say it correctly, but as of last night it was still va-lil-la.

Just as I started writing on the blog Kayson comes down to me and tells me that Kayle peed on his cloths upstairs. For the past few days I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what stunk upstairs. I kept looking for a dirty diaper, or a spot where the animals might have messed, but to no avail, nothing. Well now I know! That little stinker! He's been weaking up in the morning, standing up on his bed, and peeing off the edge onto the floor. Once I got past the gaging, I realized I have a lot of work to do up in their room. I cleaned the carpets, but I'm so grossed out, I may just have to replace the carpet. That KID!!!!!!!!!!

BUSTED!!!!

Here all this time I've been getting frustrated at Reece for leaving this door unlocked. (We have kitten in there, and the dog will kill them if he gets in.) I noticed that it's been unlocked quite a bit the past few days, and I was just about to get on Reece about it when I looked outside this morning to witness the true culprits. We can see who the brain is in the family, and who the brawn is. It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but Kayson is standing on Kayle's back so that he can reach the lock at the top of the door. I'm not sure whether I should be upset at them for doing this, or be impressed that they were able to figure it out!

Bike Riding

First time without training wheels!

"VROOM, VROOM BIKE"

Since I've already locked up "Mother of the Year" this year, I thought I would add to my bad parenting habits by bribing Kayle with a bike if he started going potty in the toilet. (He wasn't having problems with going to the bathroom outside, but for some reason he would actually run outside to potty even if he was inside.) Anyway, low and behold, that's all it took. He hasn't looked back since, but he was very specific on the bike that he wanted. In fact, every time he goes to the bathroom in the toilet, he asks if he can have his "vroom, vroom bike". He wanted a bike like grandpa and daddy's. Which is actually a motor bike. Papa thought that it was a good idea until I told him he was responsible for all the doctor bills it would cause. Suprising, Papa hasn't bought Kayle the bike. - Anyway, I finally bought Kayle his "vroom, vroom bike". He's loving it. I'm sure I will be spending the next few days pulling his bike from locations on this farm that I wouldn't even imagine a bike shouldn't be going!

Welcome Summer!

I have to apologize for not posting lately. It just seems like things have already gotten crazy around here. I wish I could say that this is the only reason I haven't been able to post, but unfortunately it's only ONE of my excuses. Anyway, summer is well under way here on the farm, and the boys are already loving it!

Sauka's favorite place to sleep.

Planting the garden.

Spring planting. (Testing the flexibility of the wheel lines.)

Last day of preschool.

Kayle and Blake Pearson playing at Terrie Pearson's.

Playing in the irrigation water at Grandma's. (Of course Kayle can't just run through the water like the rest of the kids. He has to roll around in it!)

T-Ball. I took on the crazy task of coaching this year, and it true, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! I had an extremely lively bunch, but I sure enjoyed each and every one of them. I actually might even do it next year. (Hopefully Kayle will last longer than 10 minutes by then.)

First School Bus Ride

I never understood how these parents could cry over their kids going to school. As much as I absolutely love being with my kids, I thought it would be a nice little break to have them at school. I thought it would actually give me a chance to do some work around the house without having to entertain them the whole time. Well I'm offically one of those blubbering moms. Today Greenfield had a day where the incoming kindergarden kids could go to school for a few hours and see what school was like. Well Kayson has been absolutely beside himself about being able to go to the "big kids school" ever since I told him. He's been in preschool for 2 years, and even though he has always loved that, I think he wanted more than anything to ride the bus. He finally got his chance. He rode with Christian and Chloe this morning to school, and I picked him and Chloe up at 12:30, which he wasn't very happy about. He wanted to ride home on the bus.
It was so cute watching the 2 of them get on the bus, but also sad. I just know the years are going to fly by now. I'm just so glad I haven't taken anything for granted. I have cherished my time with him. He has always been my sweet, careful shy boy. I know he will do so well in school, and I'm sure his charastics will benefit him. He only has 1 other boy in his class, and thank heavens he's like his dad, and relates well with the girls!
