Monica being cute....
Here is a video I took of Monica sitting in the laundry basket reading and talking. Just being cute! :)
Summer is in Full Swing!
As you can see from the following pictures, our summer has begun!
SUMMER KICK OFF
Annual Cornerstone Kids Last Day of School Shaving Cream Party!
*Before
*AFTER
Centerra's Free Kid's Day Wk 1 Theme: Animals!
Monica LOVED the bunny in the petting zoo! She tried to feed it the bedding and when that didn't work she tried to cover it with the bedding
Later that night Monica found a rabbit near our house and desperately wanted to touch and hold it like the rabbit at the petting zoo. then she cried when it hopped away.
There will be much more to come, I'm sure!!!!!
NO TRAINING WHEELS
We have been working with Andrew on and off since last summer. He would do fine with dad to help him get started, but would not try with out us out there. So we'd put the training wheels back on for a while. Then about a month ago we took off one training wheel, and yesterday we took off the last one. It was like he'd been riding for years! He went in the grass, dirt trail, up and down curbs, standing up and peddling... He finally got it!!!!!

SpAsTiC FrIdAy!!! to say the least
so it started out waking up with a headache this morning. After a fairly normal morning, we headed to town for some quick shopping before lunch and school. that's when it all went to heck in a hand basket! :)
When we get to the library to pick up our book that were on hold, there was a disabled man sitting in front of the hold shelf pulling all the books off the shelf and throwing the tags around and trying to bite anyone who came near. So it took about 30-40 min to dissolve the situation and get find our books to check out. Then we get to target and while walking down an aisle Monica reaches out and grabs a towel off the shelf as she pulls it it catches the next shelf which has coffee cups and bowls on it and they all come CRASHING down. Scare her and Maria so they both start hysterically crying. Luckily there was a sales associate right there and she completely understood what happened and didn't make me pay for any of it.
THEN we get are "simple" shopping done at walmart and grab lunch at Subway. I see the clock on the wall says we have 15 min to eat before we have to leave to get home in time to get Andrew ready for school. Ahhh and decent chance to sit down and breath for a few mins... WRONG! After a few mins I hear the lady say, our clock is way off... I glance at my cell phone... it's 11:27 and the bus will be at our house at 11:45. SCRAMBLE!!!!! Throw the kids and the groceries in the car, tell Andrew to scarf his pizza and fly home. Of course when normally every drives over the speed limit, today of all days everyone is driving under the speed limit and the railroad people decide what a perfect time to check the crossing to see if it's working properly! AHHHHHH!
We pulled into the driveway, I tell Andrew to get out as I run to grab his backpack. My hand hit the door and there is the bus. Luckily his bag sits right by the door so I tossed it to him as he was getting on. Now we are home, no more pressing time deadline, I can just feed the girls and put them down for nap. As I walk into the kitchen to get my lunch while the girls are eating I open the pantry door and out falls a brand new 3lb box of spaghetti dumping all over the floor. So I start to clean it up and I hear Monica yell "ah dun, ah dun mama" which means I have exactly 2.2 second to run over to the highchair before she takes what's left of her food and turns it into projectile missiles across my house!
Alas the girls are in bed, lunch is done, my kitchen looks like a bomb went off in it, but OH WELL!!!! I'm done! Time for a nap!!!!!

Birthday Blast
Happy (late) Birthday Monica and (early) Birthday Andrew!!!!!
Here are some pics from the weekend. Nana and PawPaw came into town for the party so we had lots of fun with them. Monica not only started saying Nana, and even said PawPaw a few times, but this weekend she decided two feet were better then four. She had taken a few steps to daddy in the weeks previous, but now she loves to walk. He first instinct is to pull up on something and walk until she falls (anywhere from 3-10 or so steps) then crawl over to something she can pull up on and start again! And she's getting fast!
Here are the kids latest stats from their well check visit last Thur.
MONICA: Height 30in 70% Weight 21lbs 40% Head Cir 18.25in 80%
ANDREW: Height 47in 80% Weight 47lbs 60%

CLEAN UP TIME:
All dressed up for church, in his suit that Grammy and Poppy sent him. When he opened it at the party he said "wow now I can look like a principal!"
Mr. Safety! Uncle Gabe got Andrew a "safety backpack" filled with all sorts of safety gear like a helmet, safety goggles, "danger" tape, safety signs, etc... And Nana/PawPaw and Mama/Daddy bought him a Harley Davidson Police "turn on" aka power wheels.. motorcycle!
I can't believe my little girl is 13 months old and my little boy is going to be 6 next Thursday. Time flies by way too fast these days!
