Sweet Summer!

Sunday, June 26

Summer is here and we are enjoying every minute of it! Well, maybe not EVERY minute, but most minutes:-) Our days are full of making messes, playing outside, running to appointments, attending classes, potty training, and whatever else they decide to throw at me!

The biggest event of the summer so far has been Devyn and Kinley's third birthday! Grandma and Grandpa Marsh came for the big day and we invited some friends to join us for their ART PARTY! Everyone had a blast! The kids all painted on canvas, and Kinley painted herself as well, and there were other artsy activities for them to do. Summer in Nevada means HEAT, so of course there were some water activities out too to keep everyone cool.

My 3-year-old artists! 

Kinley Fun Facts
Hobbies: singing, watching TV, reading books, playing outside in the water table
Favorite words: all the colors, numbers (to 20), ABCs, and shapes
Favorite foods: hot dogs, cookies, chicken nuggets, french fries
Dislikes: her little sisters, sharing 

Kinley has become such a Daddy's girl! He is pretty much the only person she will directly address when he gets home or leaves..and she does NOT like it when he leaves! She has been evaluated by the school district now that her state early intervention services have ended, so she will be starting 1/2 day preschool in August. I hope that a new environment will get her communicating more. She continues to get therapy at least 3 times a week, and will get these services in preschool as well. 

Devyn Fun Facts
Hobbies: coloring, cooking with Mom, watching Paw Patrol, shopping, playing at the park
Favorite words: Wait for me!, Want to snuggle?, Want to go shopping?, Stop it!
Favorite foods: hot dogs, ice cream, cereal, french fries, chicken nuggets
Dislikes: cleaning up, sharing, being patient (obviously we have some things to work on!)

Devyn continues to rule the house! How can someone be so bossy and demanding one minute, and sweet and loving the next? She is attached to my hip lately! I can't even go upstairs without her freaking out and running after me.

Devyn and Kinley's Art Party!!!
 Ellie is ready for the party too!

The studio is ready for the artists to arrive!

The birthday girls working hard! It looks like Devyn was painting on Kinley's canvas which explains why she never finished her own.

My birthday girl, Kinley!


Playtime in the backyard!

Ellie and Brylee are almost 15 months old now! Ellison is walking all over the place, while Brylee is still taking her time. She can take a few steps, but usually only when encouraged by Mom or Dad. No real words yet from either of them. They love to play peek-a-boo and pat-a-cake! 

Daddy wanted to go fishing for Father's Day...he caught Ellie!



Every birthday girl needs a trip to Chuck E. Cheese with Grandma and Grandpa! 

I don't think our girls like photos

The highlight of the birthday...a Jeep from Grandma and Grandpa!
(Devyn needs to work on her steering skills.)
