Last Days of Summer

 Twinsies

 We packed a lot into these last weeks of summer.

Katelyn and Dylan came to visit. 

His boot is off now so this is a few weeks ago.

Katelyn is 4 and Dylan is 2.

 We went to Texas Typhoon, a new water park in Katy, TX.

 The girls learned to tie their shoes.

 Emry grew. He stopped using his bottle and has mastered all of our sippy cups.

Anything his siblings do he wants to do.

 The girls learned to ride their bikes without training wheels.

Evren is very close to getting it.

 Emry figured out how to get into more drawers.

 They had fun playing with buckets. 

I picked up this tool bench on the side of the road.

Fun times.

 My parents went to Paris, France and we got shirts.

Maven and Emry

Toddling

 The girls pooled their money to buy a scrapbook and made this.

It's pretty cute.

Emry had a fit when he had to get off.

Playing cars with cousin Dylan.
They both wear size 2T clothes.
Emry is 10 months old, Dylan is 2 years old.

 Emry wants to eat big people food all the time now.

We finally got some flowers to grow. They are so pretty.

 Waiting for siblings to get done with swimming lessons. 

 Matchy Matchy 

 I can't believe this boy. He is growing so fast.

 My kids now take better pictures than I do.

 Maren took this one.

 Evren took this one.

 We are moving bull rock into flower beds. 

It is a hot job!

 Lots of helpers, for a short while.

Siblings are so encouraging. 

It is fun to see how excited they get for every new thing Emry learns.

Evren is counting his steps.

Little Stepper

 It still surprises me how much Maren and Maven look alike. 

Can you tell which is which?

 Best Buds

 They had so much fun doing an obstacle course

They got a good work out

 Chalk paint is really fun!

 I love his red hair.

 Bubbles of fun in the kiddie pool

 Superhero tea party

 Cheers!

 One way to use lots of stickers.

Emry is taking up to 4 steps in a row now. 

He likes to climb. He keeps me on my toes.

Emry likes to do heavy work.
He will push his brother around or
push two chair around at the same time.

Summer Fun

 I love it when they all play together....without fighting.

 Mr. Sunshine

 He enjoys playing with his food more than feeding himself.

It seems at this point he would rather eat off of a spoon.

 He enjoys pushing cars around more than Evren did.

                                             First time wearing shoes, look how much he looks like Brendan.

 Daddy tried to keep him in a cage of toys. 

It didn't work.

 Admiring the fake jewels

 More sunshine.

 Cheesin'

 I have to document the peaceful play times.

Emry has graduated from his infant car seat.
9 months old, wearing size 18 months.

Kindergarten Graduation!

Maren and Maven have graduated from kindergarten 

and had a birthday!

They sheared a fun birthday party at the park with Katelyn.

She is 4 and they are 6 now, I can't believe it.

 This is how they described themselves for their graduation.

 Emry is tearing baby books in half. He has torn 6 already.

 Here he is enjoying the water table. 

He stands up and lets go to practice his balance.

He has the bruises to prove it.

 Summer fun

 Evren can entertain this boy like no other.
