Summer Fun

Everett and Emma's friends Kyler and Kaylee came over to go swimming and play on the slip and slide. It was one of those REALLY hot days out where even I was excited to get in the pool. No one else wanted to slip and slide with Kaylee so she suckered me into doing it with her. My core muscles HATED me the next day but it was still fun :)

They love putting the doggie pool at the bottom of the slide

I'm not so sure this swing is rated for this many kids but they had a blast and no one got hurt, so I will call it a success :)

In Case your wondering It goes Emma 2, Rett 4, Kaylee 6, Kyler 4 (2weeks younger than Rett)

The funny thing about this picture is Kaylee wanted a picture alone, and is completely clueless to the fact that these two snuck in.

Rett Riding His Bike

Everett was finally big enough for his "big boy bike" that Grandma Jackie got him for his 2nd Birthday. He was so proud of himself going up and down the sidewalk. He may or may not have wiped out a couple times due to this bike going faster so in Everett words he was "taking it easy" when I was recording him. In the video he is saying he wants to ride his bike when he goes tick or treating, "kids will say here comes Woody on the bike." (He wants to be Woody from Toy Story for Halloween. Emma wants to be Jessie or Everett told me that Emma wants to be Jessie and I thought it was a great idea :) )

Only Emma..........

....Would think this matched

She picked out this dress to wear, a little while later she put on her boots and then her hats. I guess she gets her coordination skills from her DADDY! Her daddy can't match his clothes to save his life either :)

I was trying to take a picture of her and her hat. Emma kept saying "more cheese" which I took as her wanting me to take more pictures, here's a few.

Preschool Open House

Well it's that time of year, school is starting. Everett will be back in the Tuesday/Thursday class at Saint Johns. I'm not as sad about his going as I was last year because I know how much he loves it. I think he has matured alot since last year so that will help a lot. Everett has begun asking why TO EVERYTHING, so Kudos to any teacher who can stand having 21 kids ask them WHY! :)

Trying to make it even.

Emma playing with the blocks (Emma was in Heaven the whole time)

Rett said this chair is Awesome!

Emma found the puzzles, yes she finished this one it was for ages 3 & up :)


This is one of those things you look in and see pictures I didn't know they still made them.
And I love the little loft thing they have on the left side, I want one in our basement:)

These were awesome

Rett & Zach built a "fort"

There is a lot of kids in Rett's class that I know the parents but Everett doesn't know anyone. That makes me a little nervous, but he didn't know anyone last year either and still had fun so it should be fine. Zach, Everett's bff is in the PM class instead of the AM like Rett.

Toy Story 3

Everett & I went to Toy Story 3 last week. Everett had been dieing to see it but I prefer to see the movies at our local theater. It's $1 for Rett to get in and $2 for me that is so much cheaper than going to Mason City and seeing it right away. Everett really liked it but said it was a little sad. I thought it was cute but the other two were better. I forgot to take pictures while we were at the theater but I forgot. Everett and I got all dressed up for our Mommy-Son date, It was fun :)

So this is what you get for pictures from that night, just us being goofy ;)

Happy Birthday Aunt Brandee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Aunt Dee Dee, we hope you have a wonderful day :o)

Emma's Birthday

For Emma's birthday we waited to give her, her presents until Cody got home from work. Did I mention our AC quit working the day before? Our thermostat was at 86 degrees and all the kids were miserable. The plus to the AC going out was Cody left work early so then Emma's didn't have to wait as long to open her presents. And Cody fixed the Air.... that should have been present enough :)

Can you see how hot they were :(

Everett went to Kmart with me the day before her Birthday and picked out this Play Doh thing...She loved it :)

We got her this Little Leaps Fridge Animals thingy. ALL!!! Of our friends have either this one or the ABC one so we felt left out:) Side note see the profile in the upper right corner? It's Rett but doesn't it look just like me? I actually thought it was me for a second.

Of Course they had to play with the Play Doh afterwards :)

Then we went to my parents' house for supper.

Rett's face in this picture is priceless!




Don't you love the candle?

Present Time :)
