It's been so long since I've updated here! Unfortunately my computer was down and the pictures connect through my computer, so I thought that instead of just updating without pictures I'd just not update at all. Lame I know. Ha. But I know that you all look forward to pictures more than actually hearing about whats been going on. I'll do a little of both this time though, to get you caught up.
June-
The end of June is mostly a blur. We pretty much hung out here, the farm, the lake once I believe and in Minot.
July-
We went to birthday parties, weddings, swimming lessons (lots and lots of lessons!!!!) the lake a few more times. Minot A LOT, the farm A LOT and spent very little time at home. On the hot days we spent the afternoons in the back yard or at the pool. We ate a lot of ice cream, baked a lot of cakes, learned some new tricks (swimming and new words!) But mostly we just had fun!
August-
So far in August we have been at the lake, another wedding, the pool once or twice, painted the gymnastics gym, been to Minot and the farm. Slade is starting to potty train. He shows clear signs of when he has to use the restroom for both occasions. I'll occasionally ask him if he has to go potty and he will say "yeahhh" then we will go up and he sits on the toilet and grunts. Very cute and very funny! He gets mad when Kendlee won't get off the potty so he can get on. My big man! He says a lot more words and a few phrases with 2 or so words. Its amazing what he can comprehend! Kendlee has spent many HOURS asking about FIRE SAFETY. She asked all sorts of questions about fire safety, fires, what to do, where to go, we watched videos about fires, watched songs about fires, looked for books about fire safety. How funny. It all started with replacing the fire alarm batteries! She said to me yesterday "Mom, if you have a minute I'd like to talk to you about fire safety!" LOL! --We also went to Brandon's work picnic, without Brandon, lol. Kendlee and Slade had a BLAST! They got to go in bouncy houses, play games and win prizes, they got to ride a little car ride that Slade LOVED, they ate food, had ice cream, got more prizes, tattoos, face painting, balloons, cotton candy. It was so much fun! Too Bad Brandon wasn't there!
Brandon went down to the Knoxville Nationals (Sprint car racing) this past weekend. Kendlee is counting down the days until he gets home. He will have been gone 6 and a partial days! I spent half the week painting at the gymnastics gym. When the mats are all put away we will take pictures and I'll share with you all. The new colors are khaki and mocha in the front area. Light Blue, vivid green and pumpkin orange in the gym! It sure is looking clean and fresh in there! We installed a new ONE WAY window, (Thanks Gary!!!) and Ryan moved the door and did all the remodeling himself! (Thanks RYAN!) Between myself, Amanda, Christy, Sara and Ashley S. The ENTIRE interior of the gym was painted. (well, minus the bathrooms, front entry door and of course the insulation areas).
Now for the good stuff.....(MOM)
