Schools almost out

We can't wait to have daddy home with us for the summer.
This is a time for us to do family stuff together and go to new places that I not sure I want to check out by myself or to take daddy to fun places that we've gone to while he's been working.  Also to work on his honey do list.

"Wow mommy look at that fancy car" (He doesn't miss a thing on the road)
He loves helping his sister.  One day he wanted to walk with her so he took her by the hand and walked around the house with her.  He said, "I love walking with my sister"

nap strike is over and one reason I think is because its warming up outside and he's so worn out from playing or he's growing and he's more tired.
So Jaxon's buddy Andrew got a trundle bed and was told that the extra bed would be for a sleepover with one of his friends. He told his mom the other day that he wanted to have Jaxon over for a sleepover.  His mom said he could one day when they were older, but that he would have to talk to Jaxon's mommy.  Andrew looked at her and said "you could just send her an email now and then we could have a sleepover tonight"
I told Jaxon this and of course he was excited.  When I told him it wasn't happening right now it would have to be when he was older.  Jaxon said "But mommy you could stay there with me"
So now of course its a chaperoned sleep over.  Maybe an incentive for the both of them would be that they need to poop in the potty inside of their pullups or underwear since no other incentive is working.

Fun at the splash park

letting us know she is done with her meal

Kaelyn finally got her first haircut.  I said "Kaelyn show me your hair"  She posed with her new haircut

The boys digging their way to China

trying to figure out the bubbles

She entertains herself by just sitting in the wagon

playdate at a friends- they played in the water and with all the outdoor toys.  Kaelyn loved the play house

playing with his buddy Andrew.  When they play in the evening after dinner it usually wears them out and they tend to sleep in in the morning. One of Kaelyn's friends decided to come play too.

checking out a new park on a hot day not such a good idea because the equipment on the playground was hot.

Memorial Day weekend fun

We decided to pick strawberries one last time and they were picked over but managed to get some.
Kaelyn loved to be on my back.

Memorial Day weekend we went to Boone with Brian's parents.  We grilled out some hamburgers for lunch, went on a 3.8 miles hike to a gorgeous view, and ate some yummy food at Hob Nob Farm Cafe (our favorite restaurant there).  We still can't believe Jaxon hiked the whole way.  He liked used Paw Paw's hiking stick and he had to make sure he was always the line leader.  Kaelyn was carried in the hiking pack.  It was her first time in it and she loved it.

Monday while Brian was off he took Jaxon out for breakfast and then they went fishing.  He didn't like the worms so much but loved using his fishing rod.  I love it when they get to spend time together.

Water fun

Kaelyn found her new hiding spot in the cabinet

We went to Ridgefest for like an hour before it started to thunder and lightening. Jaxon got to ride one ride and then pose in the monster truck for a picture before I took him off since it was lightening.
