One Long Week

This past week was a long one because we don't have swim lessons anymore and that sort of broke up our day, so we had to find other things to do. Monday Ryker had a dentist appointment, just a check-up and he did great and has some good looking teeth. He was so excited for his Lightning McQueen toothbrush and bag of goodies.

Pretty much this whole summer every Monday for FHE we have gone swimming. It is fun to swim as a family. And who am I kidding, I can't swim with the kids by myself- Amelia is crazy busy. So Pa (Shauns dad) bought an underwater camera and boy howdy did they have fun with it. Are their any pictures of me....not no but HECK NO.


This is Ryker jumping into the water off the diving board.

Yikes... sort of creepy Millie. She doesn't enjoy being dunked under water. Shaun is sportin the goggles rather nicely,



Tuesday Shaun was doing some yard work and Ryker has to help the whole time. I was going to run to the store and asked Ryk if he wanted to go and all serious he says "Mom you can go, the boys HAVE to stay and do work. We have lots of jobs to do!" I love that he enjoys "working" and I hope he continues enjoying it =)


So it is bloody hot and what do you do with 2 extremely busy kids. Well you take them to a pet store of course. Let me back it up and second. Shaun and I dislike animals very much, but yet we have these 2 animal crazed kids. I mean I gag when I go to any animal store, the smell is nasty but I can deal with it if it entertains my kids for awhile. Ryker really wants a crab.

Millers LOVES cats. She will find a picture of a cat in a book and sit and giggle with excitement. We lucked out and they had some cats for sale at PetsMart and when we got to the window and she saw them she started freaking out with joy. I wish I could have video taped it, she was so funny. This picture doesn't even capture her true bliss.



We have to tie our chairs together so Amelia can't pull them out because she likes to climb up on them then onto the table. Naughty naughty. One day I left the room and heard sneaky laughter. I come back into the room to see what was so funny and Ryker climbed into her sit and she sat in his chair. They thought they were so clever.


Amelia is obsessed with books. I love watching her read.



Ryker has had a sports class every Friday all summer long, so on Friday after his class it was cloudy- but still blazing hot and I thought I would take them to Freestone for a bit. The minute their feet hit the the concrete they saw those ducks and were off. After I took this picture I had to book it myself to stop them from jumping into the pond/lake- whatever it is.

They loved those ducks!!!



Here is the latest little outfit I made for Millie. Not my favorite but still cute.

Her headband is always crazy and she loves walking around the house wearing any ones shoes.

Well we had a long but fun week, I can't believe summer is almost over and school is just around the corner.

OH my gosh, I laughed so hard when you said you gag in the petstore! I have to breath out of my mouth the whole time and plug my nose! Millie is so funny walking around in your shoes, for some reason Lydia's never done that.

Ha Ha.. I loved to the part about the chairs at the kitchen table. My Amelia LIVED on our kitchen table. I can't tell you how many times a day I had to take her off and push the chairs back in. Then one day.. I just said fine..sit on the table, have it.. just have it.. and she did.. I even found her asleep on the table one day. Crazeeeee little Amelia girls.

I love the pictures Doug took underwater how fun, and Milly does look creepy. I don't have any pics of you wearing my shoes but there are some of Sarah,Adelle and video of Efe outback clomping around in dads shoes. And you remember the stools always up on the counter, but it will fly by. I wish we had blogging when you guys were young, so I could remember the crazyness.
