Ce-le-brate (good times, come on)

I love getting together with family! And this weekend, we did lots of it! We started with a graduation party for two of my cousins, graduating from high school!

My cousins :) Joel, Olivia, Lane, Alexis and Vanessa

And the graduates!! Joel and Alexis!

Vanessa and Evers...

 Boys. Boys are hard for me. The sand throwing, the wrestling, the rock throwing....

But of course....they are fun too! (so are the girlies)

Miss P dances ALL of the time. She's been practicing her kicks and her leg extensions...

And what's summer without dilly bars from Grandma??!!

Four Tidbits on the Four Kiddos...

Paisley Rian:
Always says, "Mom, I'm boring. Can I have a play date with somebody?"
Is still very interested in drawing, and in our opinion, is really good!
Has her last speech session this week. She will have a SLP come to her 4K classroom in the fall.
Is always dancing around and asking us to tell her how good she is. (oh boy)

Hudson Koehler:
Is always yelling...and mostly at Madden.
Wants to be self sufficient. "I do it" for everything--and he's climbing in and out of his crib by himself everyday.
Says, "Go bye-bye. Izzy's house" a lot. (Izzy is Lokken's dog)
Has to have his Monchichi swaddled up when they go to bed.

Madden Michael:
Has little patience--when he colors with wonder colors, he gets so frustrated that the color doesn't show up right away.
Jumps off of everything!!
Sleeps with approximately six DVD's each night.
Still loves to rock.

Everleigh Calla:
Is like a floppy fish--diaper changes are a complete wrestling match with her!
Is getting her two bottom molars. Tough stuff.
Gives the best hugs and snuggles in the whole wide world.
Is saying, "Hi, dadda! Hi mamma" and a few other two word combos...and...is taking several steps on her own!


Today we celebrated Memorial day with the parade and a cookout at Lokkens...

Paisley got to stay extra long to play with Kyah and Cams...and that makes her the happiest girl in the world! She's sure lucky to have older cousins who are still okay with her tagging along!

Always,
C, B, P, H, M, E & O
