4th of July

For the 4th of July we headed down to Lebanon for the weekend. We had a bbq at Papa and Grams' house with everyone and then we decided to do sparklers. Kendal was already in bed when we did the sparklers and Colin showed very little interest in it, so we didn't do sparklers for long. While we were there, Colin got to ride the ponies.....always a big hit! The next day we headed to the Gabel farm. This is our sister-n-law Jen's parent's place. They raise pigs and chickens so we checked out the little piggies and the chicks that they had. Amy, David and Sydney came along with us. We had a wonderfu 4th of July and it was nice to spend the holiday with family.

Touchdown Kendal

Kendal loves to put her hands over her head and then we all scream "touchdown Kendal"! She gets a huge smile on her face and thinks it is pretty hilarious. She will do it over and over again!

Swim Lessons

A few weeks ago Colin started swim lessons. Last summer and fall we had him in a mommy and me swim class, but this year we enrolled him in swim class where he would be by himself. He has no fear of the water and loves dunking his head under water. A few times during class the teacher needs to remind him to listen and pay attention, but overall he is doing great and absolutely loving it! Kendal does great during class. She just hangs out and snuggles with her mommy.

Kendal the cutie!

Haircut

Ever since Colin has started getting his haircut we have always taken him to Little Clippers. This is a hair salon that caters to kids. They get to sit in cool seats, watch videos and get balloons after they are done. It costs around $15 for a haircut. Well we thought we would try to save ourselves some money and have Brian cut Colin's hair. We set up a haircutting station out in the garage and turned on a John Deer video that he watched on the computer. Colin was a little apprehensive at first, but after John Deer video got going, he was just fine. Brian did a great job cutting his hair and from now we will skip the salon and head out to the garage.

Family Walk

We love going on family walks. It is a nice way to wind down the day before bed. Even Jake the dog gets in on the action. Here are a few pics of us taking one of our latest walks.

Father's Day

I'm a little bit behind on my posting, so I thought I better get everyone caught up. For Father's Day we hosted a bbq at our house. We had both sides of the family over for the event. Brian and Colin worked hard getting the yard in tip top shape. Colin was a big help laying bark dust around the house. The weather ended up being pretty cool, so no one ate outside, but everything still looked really nice. It was a really fun day and we hope to make it an annual event.
