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

Kyler -- October 2016

October is always so much fun with kids. The weather makes it great to be outside. It is fun to point out all the different colors. We get to go apple picking, play in leaves, choose a pumpkin, trick or treat and enjoy the wonderful donuts at Post Family Farm! I cannot believe that we are already to October again, but as soon as it is gone we get to focus on other fun things too. Here are some great things that we did with Kyler this past October

  • Kyler still loves to make up Angry Bird games over and over again
  • In church Kyler is starting to remember the words to the songs and sings along, I love it!
  • When in front of church the kids were asked where God is, Kyler said in our hearts
  • We love color by number, and Kyler will go and get his "Clipping board" to deal with them
  • He had a great time doing show and tell at school. 
  • Kyler continues to have fun at soccer and got to be cheered on by both sets of grandparents. 
  • Grammy taught Kyler a new phrase that we heard for a LONG time "Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner" 
  • Kyler likes to "learn his maths"
  • Daddy and Kyler game time is always fun to watch and after a game of Ticket to Ride they started to sing She's got a ticket to ride too...another phrase we heard a long time
  • Kyler wanted a challenge so we did color by numbers with math, and he can do the addition and the subtraction all on his own! 
  • We had a great time going to Crane's to pick apples. Kyler's favorite variety this year was the "Mutsu" and he ate a LOT of apples
  • Kyler loved getting to go with his Daddy out to see the Calvin Women's volleyball team, and they even got him a shirt too!
  • We were all sad to see Devin's Early On worker leave when he turned three but Kyler told her that if she ever wanted to come and baby sit him that he would ask us to go out on a date so she could.
  • Kyler had a lot of fun going to the vet with me and Duncan. He loved getting to hold the cats and it is a lot of fun to see how much he loves animals
  • For Devin's birthday we had Grammy and Papa in town again. Papa joined Kyler and Daddy at the Volleyball game and it was so sweet of the coach to give you a ball and backpack too! You are their unofficial mascot!
  • We went out to dinner at Red Robin, and you did really well waiting even if the waiter forgot to take our order. 
  • At Target, you fell in love with the Ninjago costume that was there, so we ordered it secretly even though you thought that you were going to be BobaFet
  • Kyler showed his really kind heart by helping me walk Devin to his first day of school and then told me it was okay when I cried. He was such a great comfort!
  • Kyler and I had fun running a few errands together, including getting some skeleton dog lights for Daddy's office!
  • We made a lot of applesauce and Kyler did a great job of cutting up the apples with me with his kid knifes!
  • Daddy took Kyler and Devin to the hardware store and there were fire trucks there. Kyler loved showing them off to his brother
  • We tried to do family pictures and they did not turn out the best but Kyler had a great time running around and being a ham for the camera
  • After a lot of "I can't" Kyler can now put his shoes on himself
  • Daddy went out of town for a while, so to make a fun evening, we all had TV dinners! Kyler thought it was pretty special!
  • Complained about his fingernail hurting and it did get pretty yucky and infected so we had to start soaking it in hot water and give him medicine. We both had to do the same thing at the same time!
  • Now that Devin is at a different school, we were able to go to his school to trick or treat there! Kyler loved seeing all the costumes and going to get more candy
  • We did head out to Post Family farm to pick out pumpkins and had to have more donuts. Kyler was really helpful pulling the wagon with Devin and the pumpkins! Strong kiddo
  • Kyler got to trunk or treat at our church on Saturday and had a great time running around with his cousins and their cousins too!
  • With a fairly new house we have never had a lot of leaves to jump in. Kyler had a TON of fun going to Grandpa and Grandma's to jump and bury himself into the huge piles of leaves
  • Daddy got home the day before Halloween so Kyler and him made sure to carve pumpkins into Ninjago characters!
  • Kyler was so excited and surprised when he got to see his Ninjago costume, he loved wearing it
  • Kyler again loved going trick or treating with his cousins around the Wiersum's house. He was a bit on the wild side but it was great to see him having so much fun.
