Sping Festival

Shannon got us tickets to the schools spring festival on Saturday. I was SO excited to see how Kaylee would do with the animals (since she’s afraid that they will eat her…). She was VERY excited about idea of a pony ride.

Regan wasn’t too thrilled when I let go to snap a quick photo.

Kaylee had mixed emotions about the ride, but did so much better than we had hoped for!

When they stopped I tried to get another one of Regan but he was DONE. He did enjoy it while I had a hand on him said, “yeehaw”.

Kaylee was SO excited about going into the pen for the petting zoo.

Until she was IN the pen.

One of the workers helped Regan navigate over to Jon and Kaylee after he was separated from them. I love his shirt. Makes me laugh.

We’ve been trying to gently help her get over her animal fears. She really has come a long way.

She said the goat was soft and nice. And was not upset that Daddy “helped” her pet an animal. She again surprised us with how well she did.

Aunt Shannon asking Kaylee which side she wanted her face paint done on.

Regan had not a clue what was going on. So I helped hold his head still.

I think he liked his UFO.

Our next big animal adventure will be the Zoo. Kaylee really wants to see the elephants, and ride the train.

parks and rec 2/25/12

Shannon needed to count weeds for her class, and invited us to go to the park and play while she hunted weeds. We went to the two parks by our house. Dwayne went to the first one before heading to work. Regan joined us after his nap for the second park. The children were dresses by Jon and both needed and outfit change due to overheating before playing at the second park. We had so much fun.

She insisted on this super heavy dress. I told her that no one wanted to see her underwear and she needed pants to play at the park. This was our compromise.

The other day while looking out the window watching pigeons Kaylee announced, “Uncle Dwayne is a bird. He can fly way up high in the sky. He’s AWESOME!” This picture just reminded me of that, that Uncle Dwayne CAN fly. And he is awesome.

Poor thing “tripped down” and skinned her knee. I snapped photos as I walked up behind the scene.

He tried to be a ball thief. And was not pleased AT ALL when I made him put it back.

These are the spin chairs. As soon as they have weight on them they start spinning.

This is Kaylee after spinning OUT of the chair onto her head. She sat on my lap for quite awhile telling me about her hard day. Skinned knee, Big dog dared to walk past her, and THEN she fell on her noggen. All in less than 10 min. It was just too much for a little miss.

Regan was pointing at all the letters and shouting randomly letters he remembered. The older children would correct his mistakes.

Shannon hard at work.

These two took turns shoving each other on to the squishy mat.

These two were SO cute spinning together. Until they started going TOO fast.

Sometimes being a brother is better than being a superhero.

She decided to brave the toys again.

These two did some great dancing. Too cute!

And Mister Man was all about stealing his cousins hats and strutting.

In the Garden

Saturday the 18th we went on our first “adventure” as Kaylee would call it. And it was so fun. Shannon scored some passes from her library and we took the boys and Kaylee to the Desert Botanical garden. I was amazed at how neat it was. We learned lots. And Kaylee is still telling me what she learned. I was surprised at how few pictures I took. I guess I was too busy reading about and looking at all the cacti.

We saw some fun critters.

They had a stand set up for self photos. It took me a bit, but I figured out how to set the timer on my camera. (I really should read the manual….)

We left before Regan’s nap time, so he stroller napped in this funky position. Got lots of comments from passerby’s. Oh and he’s been obsessed with this handkerchief. Brings it to me daily and says, “I fly!” Arms out stretched like superman and all. I need to whip him up a real cape. He is TOO cute!

We told Kaylee we were going to look at the butterfly garden. On our way we stopped so Shannon could gather/read info she needed to finish her homework. Kaylee got board and said since we would never find the butterfly’s she was going to build a castle.

We found the butterfly’s. She was thrilled.
