We Are Busy!

Here's a few pictures from May that didn't make it into our other posts. After looking at all these pictures I realize we are very busy people... and we just keep getting busier! 

Brynnli is now 20 months. She is so incredibly busy. Her favorite thing to do is climb on anything she can. She has even learned how to climb up the rock wall on the play set. She loves to get out the pots and pans and put random things in them. Then she likes to leave the mess for me to clean up. 

Brynnli loves shoes. She especially loves to put on everyone else's shoes and come to show us. She is so proud of herself! This particular day she put on Caden's hat with his shoes. 

Some other fun things about Brynnli at 20 months:

She is talking more and more everyday. Some of her new words include saying "kay" (okay) after everything we ask or say to her. She also wraps her arms around herself and says "Co!" (Cold). When Tyler gets home from work she runs to the door screaming "DADDY!"  When she sees or hears someone crying she says, "Sa" (sad). She loves "Mo" (Elmo) and "JA-A!" (Jake the Pirate) and brings me the remote so I will turn on one of these shows on the tv. Her vocabulary is growing so much especially as she is starting to repeat the last word of everything we say.

Brynnli is definitely the baby of the family and thinks she can get whatever she wants... which she usually does. Brynn has the cutest and friendliest personality. Whenever we are at a store she says hi to all the people she sees and then we makes sure to wave and yell "BYE!" to everyone. But she also has a little stinker side to her. She will get so mad and give dirty looks if she doesn't get what she wants. And she can throw a major temper tantrum... she especially throws great ones in the store. But despite the few ornery times, Brynn is the best baby. She has all of us wrapped around her finger. 

May was a very mild month. We had a few rainstorms and I took a pretty picture of this rainbow.

We have a new ducky friend that likes to come visit us when the kids are out. The kids like to feed him when he comes. I insist they feed him something healthy like peas or oatmeal before we give him bread.

This little guy his hilarious... especially when he poops. It is a whole ordeal. He always informs us he is going to go poo. Then he takes off his clothes. He sometimes puts his whole bum in the toilet, and he is in there for a good 5-10 minutes. Then he will scream at the top of his lungs "Mommy! I need a wipe-ee!" And trust me when I tell you, for a little guy, he has some major poopies! Oh man, I can't wait to show his future wife this.

 I think Caden and Makayla are going through a growth spurt right now. They both eat like champs, sleep almost 12 hours a night, and then sometimes I find Caden like this. I love the way he hugs his blankie!

We had such a busy month with soccer games, dance recitals, and tumbling showcase. My cuties are sure proud of their medals!

One of my favorite things is when we drop Makayla off at preschool and I get to hang out with these two cuties. They are so cute with each other and love to play together. They also like to get into every thing. I was getting ready and came out to find the two of them had helped themselves to the peanut butter. 

We had a great unofficial kick off to summer at Hanna Land. We played soccer, went for rides, played games, and sang songs around the campfire. Here's a few pictures from our great weekend:

 I'll end this month's post on an exciting note... I got an iPhone!!! A few weeks ago I accidentally dropped my ipod in the toilet and it was ruined. Tyler and I debated about getting me a new ipod, but after pricing out things with our phone company, it was only about $10 a month more to get a data plan. So thanks to Tyler's bonus, I am now the proud owner of a new iPhone. I feel so cool now. And I sent out my very first snapchat. I'm just growing right up!

Still trying to figure out why people like snapchat, but oh well!

Happy May!
