Crawling

Kyle is now 9 months old. He started crawling about a month ago. Which means he is getting into everything now. His crawls is pretty funny with one leg up. He wants to stand up and walk, but hasn't figure that one out yet. Thanks goodness. He can take his time walking. He loves getting what he wants and finding treasures on the floor. Especially below the high chair where I have missed cleaning up after eating time. He also loves to chase his sister which is so funny to watch.

First Day of School

Bryanna is in first grade now. I really can't believe she is that old. She could hardly wait for school to start this year. My little girl is going up before my eyes. She rides her bike to school everyday and loves riding home with her friends in the neighborhood. She is such a fun girl and comes home with some many fun things that they do. She really enjoys eating lunch at school and loves the playground. She has gotten really good at doing the monkey bars. She loves to climb. I really do have a monkey. Her teacher this year is Mrs. Penrod and Bryanna loves her. I love seeing all the fun things that she can do.

Parades

It is not a summer event if we don't go to a couple parades.
My kids really enjoy going to the parades. It is not a parade
unless we buy snaps . Bryanna and her dad love to throw them.
Parades remind me of my mom so much. When I am at a parade
I think of her. It is such a good memory to have. I wish she could be here
to enjoy the moment with us. Bryanna ask me all the time when are we going
to another parade. Here are some pictures of the Salem Day Parade.

At the end of July we went camping and fishing as part of a family party. Bryanna and her cousing Zack caught the most fish. They were catching them right and left. It was so funny they would go fishing and come back with 6 fishes at a time. We ended up with 30 fishes between everyone when the weekend was done. It was fun to go camping and the kids had a great time. Kyle even liked it. That kid would live outdoors if he could. Bryan was in heaven he got to fish, camp and build camp fires. It is always so nice to be up in the mountains in it is so peaceful.
