Fabulous Five

Happy Birthday KB! I can't believe KB has been a part of our family for 5 years! It AMAZES me that the sweet little four lb baby we had five years ago is this wild five year old running through my home. She is so fun here are some things I love about our Birthday Girl

She is a girl that knows what she wants/likes and goes for it

She is confident
She is kind
She is great at talking people into things (I sure wish I had that skill, I would use it on her :))
She is a GREAT big Sister
She is thoughtful of others
She is inquisitive
She is quite silly and yet quite stoic all at the same time
She loves to be outside
She is quite dramatic
She is honest
She usually has a dirty face, it used to drive me crazy but I have come to love it
She enjoys taking in all of one thing before moving on to the next. She really knows how to enjoy something! ( We have learned taking walks/going to the zoo with other children not really on KB's pace)

She loves to be sneaky

She is quite the monkey and getting more so everyday

She loves books

I could go on all night. We sure do love you KB, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

TODAY!

Multi Tasking

Buster has been potty training and the other day in the middle of chaos I walked past the bathroom to see this. . .

Killin' time

What do you do on a Sunday (when you can't really go anywhere) and the husband hasn't slept for over 30 hours and really needs a little shut eye?

Have a picnic after Church!

So the picnic started out GREAT! Then we went to feed the ducks.

There is a reason you do not were church clothes to a yucky sandy man made lake that people fish in ducks and dogs swim play and of course poop in.

nothing like getting a great twirl in on a poopy sandy beach! KB loves to dance

Luckily the kiddos weren't as grossed out as I was and just had a great time!

In the end it was great, just a little disgusting at times.

Sorry for the poor picture quality I've been playing around with the manual functions on my camera and well I can't really figure out what I changed and what needs to be changed so the pictures aren't so grainy with wierd coloring :) any suggestions?

WHY?

Buster asks why constantly (I know it is what my little guy is supposed to do, but his sister never did) anyway I was cracking up the other day when not even he could answer his question why. Overheard Conversation Buster had with himself (okay really the horsey's he was playing with had this conversation). I do love (parenthesis ) even when they aren't appropriate.

Horsey #1: Why
Horsey #2: Because it is blue
Horsey #1: Why
Horsey #2: Because it is
Horsey #1: Why because, see it is blue
Horsey #2: Why
Horsey #1: I don't know why, why, why (he said that with a very exasperated tone)

You gotta love the logical imagination of a little boy!

FIRSTS!

We have had a few firsts in the last few months. . . (if you are an aunt, uncle, grandma, or grandpa you will probably enjoy this post)

Hiselt:

Drinking from a cup and drinking water

Eating Rice Cereal and food

and wearing Sunglasses

He is also Crawling but I don't have a great picture for that

Buster:

Having a chance to walk around looking perfectly TRASHY!! He got car sick and well we did not have a change of clothes or a store close to the woods we were in. He definitely helped us fit in!

KB

She can do the Monkey bars all by HERSELF and a cartwheel, oh and KB has begun doing her own hair (a picture to come)

The two BIG kids

Canoeing

Making our own popsicles

Hope you are all enjoying your summer!
