Fathers and Sons 2015

As the annual Fathers and Sons camp out approached I worried about R going. I wanted Jon and Regan to have fun and wasn’t sure they would if R went.

Turns our R is made for the woods. IMG_6118 IMG_6121 IMG_6123

Jon of course took his copters and planes.IMG_6128Jon said it was fun and both boys loved it. YEA! Worried for nothing. Love when that happens. 😉

Kaylee is 7!

You know it’s gonna be a great day when you start with a dance party.  IMG_5023

And follow that up with your favorite breakfast of fresh blueberry pancakes and bacon.IMG_5029 IMG_5037 IMG_5040 IMG_5043 IMG_5051

Our little Squeeker is growing up into a beautiful little lady. This last year has been hard with making new friends as she watched all her old ones move on to a different grade, starting allergy shots, and becoming a foster sister.  Not to mention Speech and Occupation therapy. It’s been a big tough year for her and she grew and rolled with the punches like a champ. I am amazed everyday by her persistence and spunk. Her general happy attitude and zest for life is fabulous and awe inspiring.IMG_5057She loved that she and her Daddy were both wearing their soccer shirts.IMG_5058These two. I love them so.IMG_5059 IMG_5065She of course had to break in her new tool box and check out everything in it. I can’t wait to see what great things she makes out in her work space. She’s already drawing up plans. We are thinking about getting her a drafting table for Christmas. IMG_5067 IMG_5071Daddy took her outside for her birthday photos. She was so excited to wear her new dress. SO SO SO excited.IMG_5078 IMG_5081What happened to my baby? I mean she just grew up way too fast!IMG_5087 IMG_5102 IMG_5103She ended her day  watching her new Chipetts movie and having a living room picnic eating Chinese pancakes.

I can’t even wrap my mind around the fact that she is SEVEN. It’s just so sad that the past few years have flown. I just want to push pause on life.

Kaylee and R

Kaylee has had a hard time trying to love this angry lost little boy. She is always asking us why he doesn’t like her when she just wants to love him. BUT she is doing great things. She is SUPER persistent and just doesn’t ever give up on things she wants. She wants him to be happy and love, so she just keeps hugging him and playing with him, and encouraging him. She is such a great example to me. This little boy has come such a long way, and I really think it’s mostly do to our sweet angel girl. She reminds me everyday to just breath and be patient with him. Which is challenging when I’m his favorite physical and emotional punching bag. DSC00236
