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!

Kyler -- May 2017

This kid always makes life so much fun and busy. I cannot believe that he is going to be in kindergarten next year! Time really does fly. We are all excited to get outside more and enjoy the sunshine. Kyler has loved getting to ride his bike more and more, maybe soon we will get rid of his training wheels too! Here are some of the fun adventures we had this month! 
  • Excited to ride in a Booster Seat in the car now!
  • Loves to do Color by Numbers!
  • Grandma took Kyler to the park so that I could take care of his sick brother
  • He loves to be in the tub for "relaxing"
  • Library time and picked out Pokemon chapter books!
  • Had fun surprising Daddy at Calvin for his Professor of the Year award. He wanted to sit in class with the students but that might have been distracting
  • While I run on the treadmill, he cheers me on!
  • At Wendy's he loves to drink the mango iced tea
  • During reading time he was being quiet and told me that "I am reading in my mind mommy"
  • Took a long bike ride all the way to Grandpa and Grandmas house! 
  • Had the stomach flu and had to take a bucket in the car to drop brother off at school
  • When feeling better, told me that he was proud of Jesus because after praying He had healed him
  • Due to being sick, Kyler had to miss out on soccer and a field trip
  • Had a great time reading outside for a picnic.
  • Talked with teachers about what would be best for schooling next year, skip kindergarten? 5 day or 4 day? We decided to do 4 day kindergarten
  • Had a great time at the playground with Daddy and did the monkey bars all by himself
  • When Devin received a big boy bed, it was cute to see Kyler wanting to read to him in there
  • I came home from a long run and told Kyler that I was stubborn and did not want to give up to which he said "Don't say that about yourself mommy, your perfect!"
  • Tried wearing my Fitbit and had so much fun running around with it to gain 10.000 steps!
  • Made apple pizza snacks
  • Had fun exploring a park and jumping right into the creek with lots of splashing!
  • While stretching I often employ Kyler to walk on my back...feels so good!
  • Helped me to pick out plants and put them in the soil
  • Last day of Preschool and we all headed out to play on the big kids playground!
  • Went to Wedgewood Park and had fun feeding the ducks, but the geese were a bit scary
  • Preschool graduation was super cute and later he picked out a stuffed Pokemon called Flareon and then went to watch Boss Baby the movie!
  • Kyler could live on popcorn and slushies
  • Ryan and Ky are really competitive when playing Mario Kart
  • Memorial Day parade fun and even shared with other little kids that did not get much
  • He is growing up so much by helping with trimming bushes and later roasting his own hot dog over the fire!
  • He was super kind to Duncan in the bath and kept telling him that he was his favorite dog of all time
  • Had a great time breaking a large ice cube to "excavate" toys

A bit messy eating?
