Going for a Walk





Lately we have been going out on walks as a family. We are getting to be pretty avid about it actually. Jocelyn likes to ride in the stroller, most of the time, and Cate and Landon ride their bikes. It's been good practice for them. That is why we started going, initially. This time we ventured outside of our neighborhood and loaded the kids bikes into the Kyles' van and drove over to Red Rock subdivision. Well his van isn't inconspicuous. All the neighbors who could see the van or drove by it know we were there. We had A BLAST! It's so fun to visit with your friends while you walk around.

We saw Cortnie and Wray as they were just aobut to leave for the weekend. We talked to Tiffany and Josie upon arrival and then again for a long while, with Josh and then the Beans joined us and we even got a ride on Ryan's motorcycle.

This is one of the many reasons I love summer! Red Rock seemed like a more outdoor friendly then our neighborhood, but it could have just been the night. And Red Rock seems to have more older kids who were outside riding bikes too.

Anyway, we had a great time, and while we did I tried hard to get a few shots of the kids on their bikes. (There are some great pics of them on my blog too, but no facial shots.) I am working angling my camera. It's very hard to do along with manually focus on a moving child! But it's so fun!

I think that the shots turned out great! I agree it seems like everyone was outside the other night, but I don't know if it is the subdivision or just that night

Lucky Ducks, Summer always seem to be so busy. It's great that you got out just to hang.

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Breaking News: Brooklyn

Nothing like getting a sharp poke in the ear. Especially when you're two and an half and ASK for it. When Brooklyn was a baby I went to have her ears done, but decided to hold off, since her one ear lobe was so tiny, and her ears were very different in size. So I waited. For her to grow into her ears. And to grow some hair. Still waiting on the hair part, so earrings seemed like a great idea. She asked for them, and since we both wanted them, we went and got them. She picked out a pair, and viola, it was done. She said, "Owwwww!" once, and then laughed when the lady gave her a sucker and began modeling for me and Kyle.  All to show off her new earrings! Yup, seriously, she loves them.  It's pretty stinking cute.  She is constantly telling me, each time we clean and rotate them, "Mom, never take them out, 'kay?" Okay. Deal. And I did mention that we are waiting on some hair, but some is sprouting. So we're hopeful! See, she...
