Cute sayings

Auntie Jill (my cousin) was visiting for a night and she's pregnant. Kieran thinks babies get into mommies tummies because they eat them (we're working on it) Jill is also a dental hygenist so when I asked her to look at the kids' teeth K was a little hesitant. When it got to be his turn he said, "Jill, dont put a baby in there".

The kids play with a neighbor boy, Simon, at the park. They play this game where they pretend they have powers. Kieran said one that that he was going to take his power and swallow it.

Way back in May before K was potty trained he announced across the whole library that he pooped brown stuff.

Fast forward to August and K is well trained. We were visiting Grandpa Marlan and I asked him to go potty before we left. He told us that his penis told him that it doesn't need to go. Grandpa laughed so hard at that one.

Svea was packing up her backpack with Gaga and told her, "it's going to be a real budget getting this into my backpack". We think she meant "bugger ".

Svea has been pretty apprehensive about school to start (post on that soon) and to pump herself up she told Gaga one day....."Kindergarten here I come"!

First Half of June + Father's Day

I'm so behind on blogging that I get overwhelmed knowing where to start so I figured I'd just pick up where we are and if I can slowly fill in and back date I will!

Summer so far has been a blast.  I know Dan might not say the same thing since his work schedule picks up it seems here, but it's been a nice requiescence for me and the kids.  So far in June we've had....swimming at Lake Ida, my best friend Pam got married to Rob and I was her maid of honor plus got three nights away to celebrate (thanks Dan and Gaga for making that happen), we swam at a friend's pool twice, played on our new play-set for hours and hours, attended two potlucks one with friends and one at church, attended a week long of vacation bible school, visted Grandpa Marlan and had a nice visit, played with other friends on their inflatable water slide while the parents sipped margaritas, attended our new outdoor Wednesday worship, Papa came for a visit to help put together the play-set (slowly working on staining it), Svea started gymnastics (she LOVES it), Kieran started bi-weekly speech, Dan's done more wedding and funerals than I can count one of them being for our music and worship leader/Jon from church, and I finished a book, which doesn't happen that often during the school year.
Finally, we celebrated Dan's 42nd birthday yesterday and now today is Father's Day!  We just want Dan to know how much we love and appreciate him.  Here he is with my Dad putting together the "new to us" play-set for the kids.  They've spent hours on this thing already.
Swimming at our friend's pool while they were away for the weekend. It was a huge gift to our family!
I'm not sure, but I think he likes it?
Happy Father's Day Dan!  These two know how much you love them and that's the most important thing!
