June 2012 - Part 1

The month of June is already a third of the way gone! Time is going by soooo fast and these kids are growing up too fast.

What mornings in our house look like.....

Both the kids like to sit up on the counter and hang out while Phil makes a peanut butter muffin. Leah usually comes to our room asking for her juice and "bitamins" at about 7 or a little after. She loves to get a peanut butter spoon in the mornings too! Trindon loves his juice and his bananas. I have to make sure we don't run out of bananas or he gets upset.

Notice how Leah has her pearls on with her pajamas in this picture. Just the night before we were watching a baseball game on tv and there was a lady wearing pearls. Phil said "who wears pearls to a baseball game?" Well now you know, Leah would wear pearls to a baseball game.

Trindon was trying to get Phil's gum. He pulls the funniest faces when he's interested in something.

He is so lovey and gives the best hugs and kisses.

Reading time in the "cuddle corner"

I had gone to get my haircut on a Saturday morning and Phil said the kids had gone into Leah's room to play. When he went in to check on them this is what he found. Leah told him "I'm just reading to Bubby."



Leah's birthday and first day of school

Leah turned three on June 4th and also started Sunshine School Summer Camp at First Christian Church in Durant. She absolutely loved school and didn't want to go home when I arrived to pick her up. She goes from 9:00 to 2:30 on Mondays and Wednesdays and has lunch, nap, and a snack while she's there. Since it was her birthday she got to take cupcakes for all the kids on the first day.

Ready for school with her "pack pack" and her lunch bag.

We had a Minnie Mouse party for her that night, with pizza from Marco's and a homemade strawberry mousse cake that was yummy! Josh, Melissa, and Hadley from next door joined us to celebrate Leah's birhtday!

She got some really fun presents - a dress-up trunk, wooden magnetic paper dolls (if that makes sense), a baby doll, a Wii game, Hello Kitty pj's, and a new outfit.

May 2012

What's up Wednesday has totally gone out the window I guess. I feel like I'm just trying to keep up.


May went by lightning fast for some reason. Here's a few tidbits about what kept us so busy.

We had a swimming play date with the younger Hill kids. They moved to Wyoming at the end of the month so it was super fun to get to hang out with them a couple of times before they left. Both the kids were a little hesitant about the cool water to begin with, but ended up having tons of fun.

Phil played in a softball tournament hosted by the hospital to kickoff hospital week. It was a really hot Sunday afternoon, but the kids had so much fun we spent almost four hours at the park watching the games. Leah had fun playing catch with her dad in between the games and Trindon just loved cheering on his "Da" from the stands.

Trindon had surgery to repair his undescended testicle in the middle of the month. I don't have any pictures of that (thankfully) but that did keep us tied down for a few days. He did really well and literally bounced back by that evening. The doctor ordered no horseplay for four weeks.....uhmmm okay we'll do our best!

We made an overnight trip to OKC with Phil. He had a meeting up there the next day and the kids and I ventured out to the OKC zoo. It was a really fun trip and Leah got to swim in the hotel pool.

Swimming galore! The kids love setting up the pool in the backyard and splashing around. They loved the misters at the zoo so I have started spraying them with the mist setting on the hose and they love it. Whenever I water the flowers Trindon wants me to spray him with the hose.
