Weekly Wrap-up

• I have spent the majority of the week working on painting our kitchen cabinets. I am a little wishy washy on how I feel about them. I think they look good, but I notice every single imperfection and it drives me crazy. Also, it is such a time consuming job. I am so ready for them to be finished. Our house has been torn upside down this week. I *think* it will be worth it in the end. Caleb says they look good.

• We spent a little time in the kiddie pool this week. Presley is not a fan of the cold water and she is still taking 2 long naps a day. We haven't quite figured out when the best time for her to enjoy the water is. She is very regimented. I typically do what I want when I want with my kids, meaning I am not a stickler for their schedule. Miss Presley usually makes it fine, but she is much better if we stick to her schedule. AND if we are home, she basically forces you to follow her schedule. I will say it is much easier to enjoy the kiddie pool while she is napping.

He  would jump out of the little pool into the bigger pool. Kids are funny.

• We made it to story time at our library this week for the first time in a year. Ha! The kids LOVED it! I love our library. They do such a good job with all their programs.

• Brady played his last t-ball game of the season last night. It was the first game of the tournament and his team lost. I always want to win, but I was a little relieved they lost. That is just one less thing we have to make it to. Brady had a great season. I am so proud of him, not only because he improved so much in the game, but he behaved so well overall and listened well throughout the season. We had a few not so pleasant moments, but those were few and far between.

He had a few people come out and watch him. Including myself there were 13 of us cheering him on. We have one loved little boy. He made sure to get another home run. It was a nail biter, though.

 

 



*I have no idea why his pants are pulled up so high!*

Because this was the last game, they each got a medal. The boys were so excited!!!

 

 



• Vacation Bible School starts on Monday. Our congregation is in the morning and Caleb's parents is in the evening. It is going to be a week of VBS overload for us. I have got to spend my weekend preparing for 20 kindergartners (and finishing up my cabinets). 

Summer is in full swing around here. Brady keeps asking if it is still summer. Ha! When I say it is, he will reply with oh goodie goodie goodie. Ha!

Weekly Highlights

 

Brady and Noah before church Sunday night. They are crazy. This was my attempt at keeping them calm until it was time to leave. Ha!

 

Brady and Presley have started playing and fighting more and more each day. Now that she can get around on her own, Brady gets pretty irritated at her.

 

Love this girl. By the way, she looks identical to my baby pictures, except her eyes are different. I need to post a comparison!

 

She loved watching the kids play after ball practice one night this week. She looked so tiny sitting there.

 

We got a Toys-R-Us ad in the mail and Brady immediately picked something out. I sent this to Caleb with the text, "Brady wants this, please." Caleb sent back some smart remark which translated to a big fat NO. Ha Ha!

Presley girl has had a big week. She has been crawling and/or scooting all over the house. She has also been testing out her standing abilities. She LOVES pulling up. She thinks it is so funny! She is so proud of herself. Humility is not a strength of my kids. Ha!

 

She has been pulling up to knees for a few weeks. This week she finally made up to her feet. Her feet are TINY and she is learning to stand, so her balance is not so great!

 

Brady has spent a lot of the week putting puzzles together under the table. Ha Ha!

It is the only safe place when you have a mobile, teething little sister after everything you touch. She has spent the week trying to figure out how to get in there with him. He pulls all the chairs in to block her and she travels around the entire thing trying to find an open spot.

She has to be getting more teeth. She has the bottom front two, but she has been so irritable the last couple days. She will just sit and whine or yell out. Between that, the constant falling from pulling up, and sneaking away from me and getting into whatever she can, I am exhausted this week.  She is such a mess. At least she is a cute mess! ;)

A lot of days when Rylan is here, Presley wakes up while I am in the middle of feeding him a bottle, changing, or rocking him. She usually plays in her bed until I can get in there. (She only does that at nap, she wakes up in the morning crying and/or screaming.) If Brady hears her, a lot of times he will go in and entertain her until I get there. Today he was blowing raspberries on her belly.

 

I love when I get to witness sweet moments like this!

 

Have a good weekend! We have a busy one ahead of us, as always. :)
