Why Grandparents are the coolest

They play silly games the kids make up:

Mason 18 Months

At 18 Months Mason:
Weighs 24 lbs
is 31 1/2 inches tall

When he walks he swings his left arm really fast like he thinks it propells him.

Climbs on everything.  Here are the last 2 places he has caused trouble:

Climbed up on the desk and threw a bunch of stuff into the fish tank

Pushed a chair to the counter then ate all the chocolate chips.

He is a happy kid, he is always smiling and laughing:

Favorite song is Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Loves to look at the pictures in books but won't let me read them to him.

Puts 2 words together "Hi mom"

Loves to wave and tell everyone "bye"

Can make some animal sounds (bark, meow, moo)

Has the biggest belly ever:

Still sleeps with a binky

Favorite past time is throwing peoples toothbrushes in the toilet.

Can say everyone's name in the family and lots of other words.

Stubborn he knows what he wants and screams until he gets it.

Always sticks out his tongue when he is concentrating:

Kate posing

All day long Kate walks around doing weird poses saying: "Mom take a picture of me doing this." 

Tricky Mason

Although Mason can't talk much, he sure is good at talking his siblings into doing what he wants.  Within 30 minutes I saw Mason being pulled around in this toy each time with a different toy/snack in hand and different sibling doing the pulling.  Neither Parker or Kenzie had seen the other one pulling him around.  This kid is good. 

Kenzie & Kate

I checked in on the girls before going to bed one night and found matching outfits, bows, and shoes laying on the floor. When they get a long they sure are cute.

4th of July

Anthony and his dad put on a pretty good firework show this year: 

 We are so lucky to have such great family and friends to spend the 4th with:

Kenzie's Graduation

At the end of Kenzie's school year her class put on a little presentation to show us what they had learned over the year:

She had great teachers and really enjoyed school:

 She won an award for being a "fashionista"  She does her hair by herself and always puts together bold clothes.  Sometimes she would even put on jewelry, make-up, or grab a purse to go to school.  She is a sweet girl who has become excellent at reading, & writing.  I love this girl.
