Kidzville

Ryan celebrated his 4th birthday at Kidzville.

Ty was adiment before the party that he was going to help Ryan blow out his candles. I tried to explain that Ry could do it all by himself. Luckily, Ty believed me and didn't have a melt down when Ry didn't need his assistance.

As soon as we got there, we headed for the playground.

It was so much fun!

Maddie and Ty have been obsessed with the story of The Three Pigs. I bought two more books telling different versions of the fairy tale. They like to listen to the story being read or role playing the tale.

Dinner Time

The weekly recitial....dinner and play time with the Brownriggs.Another rather new trick of Ty's....swing on his belly...

put hands on ground....flip off! So far he hasn't broken his neck!

Since the World Cup Maddie has been putting some extra practice time into improving her soccer skills.

Can you see her on the U.S. team....wearing a skirt?

It was hot so Ty got out the elephant sprinkler.

Braxton hitting some golf balls while Maddie cheers for him.....Go Braxton Go!

Ty took a liking to the bed of the truck tonight.

Taking a ride around the yard.

Time to eat

Hudson's first steak

Maddie and Brax sharing an ear of corn.

Dessert...ice cream sundae cake....yummy

Pool Playdate

This week's play date was at Watton's pool. We had a smaller group than usual but still had just as much fun. snack time

Hudson napped a long time.

Drew just took a short nap.

Brax showed off all he learned at his swimming lessons.

more snacks

Ty jumping in. His new trick is to take off running and jump into the pool. He trusts that someone will catch him!

I already feel sorry for their kindergarten teacher!

Dresden Playground

The kids and I jumped into the car with Daddy to go to cross country practice. While he was with his team, we played on the playground by the pool. Every time we go to the pool they beg to explore this playground.First, Maddie and Ty had to eat their breakfast.

Then it was time to play!

Daddy says we can go again but we need to give him more of a warning....apparently 5 minutes before he leaves for practice isn't enough.

Little Lamonicas

Ryan, Reese, and Reagan came over and hung out with us while Dani did something really fun (went to a meeting at school...haha). We played outside for almost two hours. All five kids seemed to have fun!

I tried to get a picture with all five at the same time....impossible!
