New knowledge

Our kids are growing up so fast. They learn new things daily. Here are some cute little movies I took today. Byron has to review a nursery rhyme every day. Last weeks was Humpty Dumpty and this weeks is Little boy blue.

Peaches Galore!

In the local city by us they have this thing called, "Peach Days". They have a famous fruit way. I went and bought some produce with my mom the other weekend. I love fresh produce. This last weekend when we went down to visit my sisters we bought some corn and a huge box of peaches. They are the yellow ones that are so soft and sweet. Oh they are so good! So, we have a lot. I have caramelized, frozen, dried, put in milk shakes, had them as a snack, put them on top of pudding, etc. They are so yummy.

Kitties still in love

I was afraid that by "fixing" our kitties they would lose the attraction they had for each other. But nope, they still love each other. They are so cute to watch. They give each other baths and are always by each other. Oh how cute. Most guys would say, "Gag me!" Ha Ha. I love it.

Fun Weekend with my sisters

This last weekend we went down to help my oldest sister Sarah with a few chores, meals, watching her kids and quality time because she just had a baby. It was also fun to spend time with Liz and her family.I feel so blessed to have sisters and great brothers as well. I feel that each time I visit my family our relationships get stronger. Wes was able to get a guys night out with his brothers on Friday night. They went to a place with go carts and stuff. He was able to act like a kid again for a few hours. He stayed out until about 1:00 AM. That is rare for him. :)
Wes helped watched the kids while Liz and I went shopping at the Modbe clearance sale and also so I could go out to lunch with my sisters. It was so nice. Now that Lilly is older I am getting a little bit more freedom. I love being a mom, but I feel like I can be a better mom when I get a little bit of a break.

Goodbye training wheels

Byron learned how to ride his bike without training wheels. The other day we went out there and our 3 year old neighbor was riding this huge bike without training wheels. So, that motivated him to keep trying. He was really timid at first. But, then we told him that if he kept trying we would give him a dollar. Maybe that wasn't the right parenting tactic. But, it worked. He is almost an expert. :)

Ethan likes to ride his bike often as well. In the mornings after we drop Byron off at the bus stop, we go walking. He rides his bike (with training wheels of course), to the track. While I push Lilly in the stroller.
