New Bike Helmet

Tyler got Justin this new bike helmet. It is pretty cool. It comes down by his ears and protects his whole head. Tyler wanted to get one with a skull and cross bones but I had to be a little less fun and a little more practical so we went with the plain grey one. He does really good wearing it every time he rides his bike.



We had to measure his head so we could get the right size. True to Gerber fashion he has a large head for a kid his age. His head measure only 3 cm smaller than mine!

Ice Cream in the Van

About 5 years ago I went to Salina to see my girlfriend (Tiff, this is for you). We were out bumming around and stopped to get my friends daughter and ice cream cone. My friend just wipped around and handed this ice cream cone to her almost 2 year old! I couldn't believe my eyes! That's when I said it, "I will NEVER give my child an ice cream in the carseat!" Yeah, that was before I had kids. Never say never! haha. Thanks Tiff for the little lesson in life! It is possible to survive ice cream drips down inside the buckles of the car seat!





Hunter is still working on self feeding so poor little guy didn't get his own. He got some tastes from big-brother-Justin! Thanks for sharing.

Fisher's Favorite Place

Fisher loves his bottle on the couch. Whenever I make him a bottle he runs into the TV Room and jumps up on the couch. At bed time when he is done with his bottle he will run into the kitchen, throw the bottle in the sink and then runs downt he hall right to his bed. It is so amazing that he knows just what to do! He is the easiest child to put to bed...ever!



Sometimes he can get his leg in the funniest postions. He will sometimes put his foot up on his opposite knee like he is just kicking back!

Hunter's new favorite place

Now that Hunter can crawl he has found a new favorite place. He crawls over to the front door and sits up on his knees so he can look out the sidelight. It is so stinking cute when he sits on his knees! And oh, how happy he is that he can crawl anywhere he wants to go!

Tuckered out

Justin has played so hard this summer. I usually cant get him inside to take a break from the sun. I think that he knows if he does stop for even a second he might fall asleep! Oh, wouldn't it be fun to be a 3 (almost 4) year-old again!

City Parade

The first week in June our city does a big week long city celebration. Towards the end of the week they do a large parade. I took the boys to the parade while Tyler stayed home and worked on the never-ending Honey-Do-List. With us gone he was able to accomplish alot! Thanks Tyler.

We were at the end of the parade route so we waited a long time for the parade to finally reach us. We had snacks and drinks to tide us over. The first thing in the parade were these guys shooting pistols. Fisher would have the forced fake laugh after every shot. It was hilarious!

We left before the parade was over...it was so hot! not to mention the twins were pushing their nap time.

Mom and the boys


Hunter had a good time as long as I tickled him.


Justin was quite the trooper. He was so excited to see the parade.


The boys entertained themselves with the stroller while we waited.

Green Park

One of Justin's favorite things to do is go to the Green Park by our house. We have dubbed it the Green Park because that is the color of the big toy there. Fisher has quickly become a fan of any park that we go to. This was the first week in June when the sun finally decided to show itself this year.

Mom and Justin


Justin and Fisher love to load the steps with wood chips.


Hunter sat so good in the wagon playing with his little guitar. I felt bad that he didn't get to play much on the toys but this is sometimes how it is when I have to chase the speedball Fisher.


Fisher loves the slides. He is so brave and will try just about any slide no matter how tall it is. I am not a big fan of this activity yet.


Justin has mastered all the toys at the Green Park (with exception of the monkey bars). This one was his last.


The boys are getting so big and independant at the park.
