Ashley and Brandon: June 2010

I'm all alone and I need you now... (Kendlee has been singing this song nonstop for a week now.) Right now she is dancing and singing the song. Slade was dancing too. Super cute!!

What have we been up to? Birthday parties, busy trips to Minot, playdates with friends, gymnastics board meetings, meeting new babysitters (yay!) and so much more. Every sunshiny minute is spent outside (aside from naptime). The kids even ran through the sprinkler.. fully clothed but full of smiles!

Still no tooth for Slade. I can still see it and feel the bump but it hasn't broken through the skin yet. Stinker. He has been saying "Oww." Whenever he trips and falls. Just nonchalant, Oww. Like hes not even hurt or anything. Its funny.

Kendlee has had a few hilarious phrases lately.. "Doin the mamaw, cause I'm too slow.." LOL. Not the mamaw WALK, just the MAMAW. Funny how she doesn't even go into depth on what the MAMAW is. :) And then another "Oh no, I'm getting wrinkly..not old, just wrinkly.." LOL. And no, she wasn't in the tub. She was just playing on the floor.

Pestering me, or so K calls it, is something that the kids love to do when we are inside. I lay on the floor and they both run and jump on me. Kendlee basically has me put her up in the air on my legs (wish it was more of a workout than it is!) and Slade sits nearly on my head and bounces up and down. They also love to dog pile on a big pile of pillows.

Slade is still totally into tractors and cars and trucks. Vrrroooom vrooomm. Its too cute. Definately nature for little boys!

Kendlee counted her care bears with me. Picture coming soon, after I upload my camera. She has.. wait for it.. 94!! (possibly 95. We found one in the living room later that night but I dont know if it was in the picture or not. I haven't looked at the picture since to see if it was, but regardless, she has ALOTTA, as she told Daddy. "I have alotta care bears.")

I mentioned that we met two new sitters! One came to our house and the kids adored her!!! Shes going to be a senior in high school. Kendlee couldn't wait for her to come over to play! They had a great time outside and then played dress up inside after Slade went to bed. The other sitter is actually a drop in daycare, right around the corner from my house! The kids had a great time over there as well. Kendlee named the baby bunny that lives under their deck, Diffany. :) She didn't cry either time I left her, which is a relief for me. Slade fussed a bit at the daycare but the gal gave him some food and he was fine. Ha Ha.

Brandon has a softball game tonight. Kendlee said she is gonna go to the park at Daddy's "soccorball game" hehe. B and I both got the giggles and Kendlee got so embarrassed that she nearly cried. Daddy told her that its okay to say the wrong word, because Mom does it all the time. LOL thanks hon! He is right though. Cause Kendlee always calls me out on it.. "What did you almost say??" Just wait kid, when you're older and you only have half a brain left, you'll say the wrong word too. Or even forget things. Heck, you might even find your kid's sippy cup full of milk, under the sink with the cleaning supplies.. with the baby locks on the doors, so you know your kid didnt put it there. Oh my. These are the days!
