The Bebej Blog: Kyler -- July 2017

This is the middle of the summer and we have been busy and active! We started out the month by going to a wedding in Princeton with family and Kyler was having a great time dancing and just socializing like the little extrovert that he is. We camped for the second year at the conference grounds with lots of great times with wonderful people. There were swim lessons, pool times, and of course lots of wonderful memories with this sweet little guy! I love him so much and here are some of the great highlights of this day!

In Princeton this kid packed away 4 waffles! Teenage appetites don't start yet do they?
He loves to make little kids laugh, especially his cousins Ainsley and Lawson
At the wedding, he was so cute taking his tablet everywhere and taking pictures of everyone
This kid is a dancing machine =)
Like his mother, he loves to play Zelda on the Wii
We have a rule in our house that if you want to eat the batter, you have to help make the cookies...monster cookies with Red White and Blue M&Ms for the win!
After a lot of swimming, cookies and even a nap, Kyler had a great time talking about the shapes of fireworks with his dad in Allendale
Always a great helper, he allowed his brother to pour water on his head in the tub to make it easier to wash his hair
Swimming is something that Kyler loves and it is so great to see him using his arms more and more!
We had friends over the pool and had to get the staples, cheese popcorn and lofthouse cookies before playing a lot of sharks and minnows.
Going to the park as a family is hard because Kyler really wants to be on the playground but his brother does not, so it was great to see him be so patient
Took Kyler to a movie to see Despicable me and had a great time eating popcorn and having a freeze!
His imagination has turned towards pokemon now! He likes to try and "catch" his own!
There are times that Kyler tries to help his brother with his shoes but there are times he gets into the "bossy" realm.
We like to watch American Ninja Warrior together and I love to see how Kyler has such a sweet heart for those who have overcome hardships
At the Conference Grounds and after 1 hour, he is already covered in dirt from the playground
While at church, Kyler tried to stop a kid that was messing around and not listening...he wants to so help in so many ways
During the Fun Run he did not stop at all and ran a mile in under 12 minutes! Good work kiddo!
With Daddy knowing so many of the student workers at the pool, he loves saying hi to them, especially Mr John who works as a lifeguard!
One of the first nights, he loved to play Newcomb with older kids and watched the boat races in his jammies, what a great time!
We love having cousins and Grandma come out to the grounds for some fun and it was great to take them to the beach, play with friends and enjoy trying to balance on the huge raft!
One of the girls from our church was getting teased by another boy (three years older than Kyler) so you stood up to him for her and told the boy to be kind and friends with her.
Had a great time at the pool with a new friend Nichole from church and of course snuggled up with her and asked for her to be a babysitter! Kyler does like the ladies
After Devin was sick, he had a great time trying Pronto Pup and going to the beach with Daddy
At the pool, loved trying to catch a frisbee and asked Aunt Diane to come over and babysit him sometime
Kyler continues to make fun things up with his imagination, including a candy crush game!
For swimming lessons he was a bit worried that he had to do things he did not know how, but he crushed it! Yeah Kyler!
Always honest, this kid told me how badly I smelled when I came home from a long bike ride
"Why don't I sweat like you?" so then there was a long talk about how girls and boys grow
So worried when we went shopping that Devin would "get dead" if he did not hold hands in the parking lot...sorry we freak you out kiddo
This summer he has been diving to get rings off the bottom of the pool! Yeah Kyler!
While at the pool and keeping Lawson laughing when he said "babies need a lot of attention!"
Of all the things that he loved to play with, the calculator was a huge hit on his tablet
Had a great time going to the playground to meet kids that will be in his class next year! Cannot believe that he is going to be in Kindergarten!
