Mud pies

These pictures make me laugh out loud every time I look at them. Jager is really into digging in the dirt or mud which ever come first. This is him getting ridiculously dirty making mud pies in the back yard.

seriously look at those expressions!!!! He is such a character

Cooper's fun in the sun!

These pictures were taken during Coopers first real swim. During the summer we were lucky enough to have Grandpa and Grandma Clark's pool to swim in as much as we wanted. The first few time swimming Cooper fell asleep I think it was because the floating car I had for him didn't really get him wet so all he did was float in the warm sun which made it hard to stay awake.

These pictures were taken around the third or fourth swim and as you can see he looks like he is have a lot more fun. It took him a while to like the water but he loves it now.

Kicking off the new school year

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HE ROLLED

Well Cooper roller over today. He is now a few days over 6 months and decided today was the day to roll. He will only roll to the left side but just the same he is rolling over. He made it off the rug onto the hardwood already. The kids love watching him. To them it's like he's performing a cool trick just for their viewing enjoyment. I'll have to get so me gates for my stairs soon. That is one of a few draw backs to building a four level split, too my many stairways.
We also went for swim at my grandpa's pool today and I couldn't believe how brave Jager was being. While we were in Calgary with Kyrstyn and Dick the kids went on the watersides and I think that is when Jager got more comfortable with the water. Today he was doing cannonballs off the diving board and running jumps into the water. Even Jack was swimming with out his water ring. It's funny how kids will see one kid take the plunge and them it doesn't seem so scary. The kids have so much fun swimming.

"I'm watching you"

So everyone in my family knows that I HATE when Dogs do their business on my lawn. So the other day we had just pulled up to the house in our van and I see a lady walking her dog past our house. She stops to let her dog walk on my grass. So I'm sitting in the van watching this with the kids and I said to myself but out loud "I'm watching you! Don't you dare let your dog pee on my grass." Luckily I think she saw us pull up and kept walking. Anyways the reason for this story is on Monday we went to Calgary with Krystyn and Dick and we were getting the van all packed up and Jager was in the van with all of the doors open while I was making trips. So Jager sees a man walking his dog past our house and what do you think he say? Any guesses? Ya "Hey, I'm watching you! Don't you let your dog pee on our grass." He even did the whole pointing his two fingers at his eyes them at the man.It was freaking funny but a little embarrassing. I guess I should watch what I say around my very impressionable kids. I told Jager that we don't say that to people, at least to their faces and all he say is "ah oh." Well I just had to blog this so that one day we could have a little chuckle about the things Jager and mommy say.

AS IF!

As if I have a 6 year old. WOW time flys when your havin fun I guess. I truly can't believe she is 6 already. It seems like just yesterday I was bringing her home from the hospital. We have a tradition that the kids get to eat breakfast in bed on their birthday and they get to pick what it is they want for breakfast too. This year Kaiya wanted Tim Horton's. Geoff got up early (Thanks honey) and picked up Timmys for everyone. Kaiya and Jager made a deal that on Kaiya's birthday Jager could also have breakfast in bed as long as she can do the same on his birthday. It sounded like a pretty good deal to me. Well after a few crumbs and sprinkles in the bed Kaiya got to look through her baby book and look at all of the pictures. I think that was her favorite part.

July 29th is Kiaya's official Birthday but we planned a party for the 30th. On her real birthday I accidentally booked a hair appointment oops! Well it gave Geoff some time with her during the day and then My parents took her out for her birthday supper at Tony Roma's for RIBS Kiaya's favorite right now.

Kaiya said she just had to bring her new Baby that she got from Grandma Sommerfeldt. I called her during her dinner to see how it was going and she told me that she had to nurse her baby 2 times while waiting for her food. I kid you not she acually lifts her shirt and everything. I know, Oh my goodness!!!!

For Kaiya's "friend" birthday we booked Beaners for Kaiya and 6 of her friends. It was so much fun. They shut the whole salon down for an hour and did their hair, paint their nail and did their make-up. After the hour at the salon we all went to the new henderson park and had cupcakes and opened presents. kaiya loved being the center of attention. I still can't believe my little girl is really six years old already. It truly goes so fast. Our little kaiya is THE sweetest girl I have ever known. She is such a blessing in my life and love her more that I could ever express. Happy Birthday Kaiya I love you!!!!
