Just kids

It was only towards the end of June that Carson started crawling. Now he is pulling himself up on his own! His favorite thing to do is look out the picture window and bang on the window with his hand. He also pulls himself up in his crib and chews on it in the exact same spot that Ethan did! He is getting into everything...opening cupboards, drawers, pulling the cats hair, chewing on books. You name it and he has tried to get into it! :) I almost forgot how busy they are at this age. This picture is kind of dark, but it shows how proud he is after pulling himself up the on the couch.

The weekend of the 10th of July we went over to New Ulm and hung out with the Becker's! Margo & I took the kids to the Sleepy Eye waterpark. Ethan had fun playing with Owen in the yard after we got back to the house.

Carson was happy to play with some different toys!

Just a little backyard fun at our house.



Below is Ethan playing in his...umm...rather small pool. Guess I didn't really read the dimensions when I bought it, it's more for a smaller kid. But he still likes it, so I guess that is all that matters!

Jarred and I are off to Country Jam this weekend, we leave Thursday and come back Sunday! It should be a fun time. The kids are staying with Grandpa Preston then Grandpa & Grandma Poppe. They should have fun. I know I am looking forward to sleeping in! :)

Summer Fun

Is it really July already? Summer is zipping by.

We went down to Fairmont for the 4th of July. My cousins Amanda and Cory came to visit us for the weekend, so it was nice to see them. We went and visited great grandma & grandpa and hung out around the house and campground. Unfortunately Carson was a bit on the fussy side, he wasn't feeling well and had a runny nose and low grade fever. I blame everything on teething right now, but who knows! So on the night of the 4th of July we hung out at the campground, and watched an OK fireworks show. Keisha also got here on the 4th and Ethan was happy to see her! This whole week we have not had daycare, so I took the day off on Monday. Keisha came back with us and we all headed to the Waseca waterpark with Sara & Aubrey. We thought we might be in trouble because the babies both cried almost all the way over there. Carson was cranky most of the time, but Aubrey seemed to love the water! I wish I could have a day off every week to do fun stuff like that with the kids. Maybe someday. ( I think I have said that before?)

Waiting for the fireworks to start.

Looking super cute in her little swimsuit! (I love girl clothes!!)

Making sure they don't scrape their knees!

Carson was not happy about picture time.

Keisha has been a big help taking care of the kids! She even cleaned the house for me today. I need to have a 13 year old around more often. :)
