Devin -- May 2017

May is always a fun time of year, but always so busy too! We had a great time enjoying some wonderful times outside in the great weather but Devin and Kyler became pretty sick this week! Devin was super cuddling and just could not get a break at the beginning of the month. The end of the week was a fun day at the parade for Memorial day with friends. Devin had fun walking but did not want to stay in one place, nor did he want to get candy but it was a larger success than we ever thought it would be. This kiddo does surprise us all the time. Here is a few other highlights from the month.

Had to be picked up from school because he was sick, and laid in the middle of the sidewalk out to the car
Started to feel better but then had to be picked up again the first day back
He also has great aim, throwing up on mommy when snugging with her
When Devin is sick, he only wants his mom and cries when Daddy tries to help out at all! Oh poor Daddy.
When he finally felt better it was so cute to see him cuddling with his wonderful aids
Ryan received Professor of the year at Calvin but instead of celebrating, Devin clung to me like the end of the world.
Devin's favorite thing in the world is to ride in the Burley and he would do it all that time, often just climbing into it so that I know he wants to go for a ride
We have been learning a lot about pretend play, with the kitchen and even pretend wiping our mouths!
Big brother found Very Hungry Caterpillar games on his tablet, what a hit!
He really hates the changing table, so I think we are just going to do the floor from now on!
It was time for us to get him a big boy bed and he loved it! He loved reading with his brother in it and even took a two hour nap in it too!
When we got to different parks all he wants to do is hike and not do anything on the playground at all!
For mother's day Devin loved to be in the swing, but after lots of swinging he ended up getting sick and throwing up on his mom for mother's day...poor kiddo
The biggest news was that he was able to potty a bit at school, did not seem to stick though
When dad and brother play Wii, Dev wants to join in and points a remote at the screen too
We try to expose Devin to new things, but he wanted nothing to do with the sprinkler in the backyard at all
Right before summer, he has fully learned how to take his shirt off!

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
