And the beat goes on...

So we have had a lot going on lately it seems. Hopefully it will all slow down after today. We had Jeremy, Andrea, and Ryan come to visit on Sunday. We had lunch, beer can chicken, green salad, and grilled corn on the cob. It was so good. After lunch we went out on the lawn and watched all the kids play (Mike and Jeremy included.) They played catch, monkey in the middle, and our favorite game, throw the ball as hard as you can at the other players' heads. Here's some pictures and video to give you an idea of how the game is played...











I only wish I would have been recording when Mike snapped Blaze's head back with a ball. He was very tough though and didn't cry even when Jeremy pegged him right after. It's one of my kids favorite games to play.

Kaia has been walking for a couple days, but she would stop as soon as she would see you were watching. She is still a little wobbley and every once in a while you will see her hip give out. Luckily she has some control and catches herself before she falls. Yesterday was the first day she really walked everywhere she went whether you were watching or not. She is getting a lot braver. I got about 11 seconds of video because she still doesn't like the camera. Here she is...





Blaze had his first day of preschool today. He already has a couple friends in class. Braydon and Jaxon. I saw Braydon this morning and he asked me to go get Blaze ready and bring him to him. (did that last sentence even make sense?) I told him we would meet him over at the school. We walked in the door and Blaze went right in and did what he was asked to do. When it was time for me to go I told him I was leaving. He was like, K Bye. I said do you want a hug and kiss or anything. He was like no Bye. I was very proud of him. Here are some pictures of him at school...






And when I got home from dropping Blaze off at school, this is what I found...


Apparently after Mike got her dressed she brought him Jercie's swimming suit to put on. She wouldn't leave him alone about it so he gave in. Notice the awesome hair too. :)



And last but not least, Jercie is starting her Jazz/Ballet class tonight. Her class is from 5:45 to 6:30 every Tuesday night. I am excited for her to learn to dance. She is excited too. I will post more about that another day.
