Super Mega Summer Blog

Here's what's been going on since last time: Danae graduated from young 4's! We went to the park for a field trip, where we had our ceremony. Everyone had a good time. Then we hopped in the car and drove to Kentucky! We saw Aunt Cat and Uncle Greg and Phoenix and Chaz (and all of Uncle Greg's extended family, who where very nice to us!). Turns out Kentucky is very hilly. Blake hopped on a tricycle they had there and took off down the neighbor's driveway, which was very steep! Daddy did not catch him in time and he took a header over the handle bars. Nothing broken, but he did scratch up his nose and had a fat lip for a couple days.

Danae is taking swim lessons again this summer. She's the only one in her class! She has 3 teachers for her "private" lessons. She's also really into the "Wild Kratts", this show on PBS about animals. She also wants a horse that can come into the house and watch TV with us. Daddy told her he wants a pet bear too.

Blake's new thing is anything that Danae has. Her spoon, her bed (where he now takes naps), her favorite peach yogurt. We no longer use sippy cups. Makes Daddy a little nervous, but it had to happen eventually. He loves his "Mac" truck from Cars. Everynight he plays with Mac and Lightning Mcqueen by the fish tank before he goes to bed. He's really into grabbing Daddy's hand and saying "talk" because he wants Mac and Lightning McQueen to have a conversations, which usually goes "Hi!" and "I'm Big!" then we race. His new phrase is "I can't believe it!". He's counting like a pro, but he still doesn't understand number concepts - give him a second though! We get all the way up to 12!

When Danae is tired and falls asleep before Blake, he will climb into bed with her. It doesn't happen very often, but it is so darn cute!

Mommy took the kiddos to Marysville days and they got to ride on a train and a wave runner and boats!

We have also been watching other kids! Emma and Nora and Kaylee and Liam and occasionally Logan.

Nora might be Blakes girlfriend, if he could just stop taking toys away from her!

Happy 5th Birthday "Nae!

We had a wonderful 5th birthday! Thank you everyone. We got a new bike (we had way outgrown the old one) and some games and some nice new summer clothes. We had a pinata and a Dora cake and the house looked like a jungle!

Emma and Logon and Nora came over later and Blake got to squirt everyone with the hose.

Bebop got his second haircut! This one obviously went much better than the first. Mostly because he got to suirt himself and everything else with the sprayer. We are also eating without the high chair now!
