I Love June!

June has been pretty darn hot around here. It started out pretty rainy, then went straight to 100 degree temperatures. Good thing I have my own personal Coke to keep me cool.

 On the last day of preschool, Makayla got to build a car for the drive in movie. If this project was left up to Mom, it would have just been a box with maybe a steering wheel. Luckily Daddy was in charge, so her car was decked out with a steering wheel, windshield, lights, spinning wheels, and even a seat belt (safety first, people!) Makayla loved helping Daddy work on her car.

 Here's the finished product:

 * I thought the headlights looked funny... good thing it is a girl car (if you're picking up what I'm laying down)

My favorite part was the license plate that said "Kay-bugs". It was probably my favorite because I came up with it. 

We have been redecorating our house, which I'll have to post pictures of later, but we had our mirror down for a while and Brynnli thought it was the funnest toy. She would give herself kisses. She's a little narcissistic, but we love her anyway! 

 Summer time means splash pad time! We have been to the splash pad at least four times already, and we love it!

Until we get sunburned. I swear I put sun screen on her. Now every time we go, I get a stern lecture from Makayla reminding me not to forget her "skun screen" on her back. 

 We also tried out Kids Club at South Towne Mall with Karly and Kenzee. It was a lot of fun! The kids got to get their faces painted

They also made a Father's Day craft and danced with the DJ. After we played in Dino Land, ate lunch and went on the carousel. We will definitely be going back next month!

Every time I go to the store, the kids ask me if they can get donuts. I told them we are not getting any more donuts because Caden only eats the chocolate part on his. He was showing us how he eats his doughnut, but first he needed to get Makayla out of "his" picture. 

 Oh this boy!

We took the kids bowling one Saturday morning. I probably took this picture to show how cute Tyler was at helping the kids bowl, or maybe I just wanted to get a picture of his hott ass... wait did I just write that? Oops.

 The kids had so much fun bowling!

And yes, Makayla did beat my score. It's okay. I'm confident enough in my bowling skills to acknowledge a four-year old beat me. No big deal. Whatev. 

But this guy didn't beat me. Look at those amazing bowling skills... and that hott ass. 

 Yes, jammies, sunglasses, and a cowboy hat are a perfectly acceptable thing to be wearing at 2 in the afternoon.

Because it has been so hot lately, we've spent a lot of time in our basement. We love movie nights! Our new favorite movies are "Toy Story 3" and "Cars".

 Daddy loves reading books to these two every night. He is seriously the cutest with them. And the kids absolutely love books at night. They burst into full tantrums if we can't read books.

 Kyra is a regular at our house now. She comes over everyday to play. These two have so much fun, especially when Kyra gives Makayla a makeover.

 Anyone know why this warming oven is so fun to babies? Seriously, every single one of our kids have loved crawling in and out of this thing. I don't get it.

To end our June posts, here's some funny sayings of the kids that really shows just how descriptive our kids have become.

Makayla:
"Mom, I'm going to die. That orange juice is so good."
"That tastes delightful!" *Delightful? What four year old says delightful?

Caden:
"And here we have some beautiful strawberries!"

Oh, and just to show how smart our kids are, here's examples of them using correct English (unlike the majority of Americans)

Makayla:
"I played with my friends so nicely"

"I didn't make my bed very well"

Caden:
"Brynnli and I are going to clean my room."

Yes, the nerdy English teacher in me gets more excited that the kids said this correctly than the fact they were cleaning their rooms by themselves.
