Eli was 'helping' daddy with the finishing touches on the sprinkler system...
The water spraying him in the face didn't phase him...

The things they say...
Bryson informed me last night that he can run "one thousand eighty one years fast!" All I can say is, WOW!!
This morning as I was helping him get dressed...
Dallin: mommy, I a wooster [rooster]
Me: Oh really? And what do you say rooster?
Dallin: crack-daddy-do! crack-daddy-do!!
And he spent the next hour or so running around hollering 'crack-daddy-do'... and no, Nathan is NOT doing crack.....

Schools Out!
I can hardly believe that it's already mid-June! Sheesh. I'm so glad to have Bryson home all to myself for a few months before he starts *gasp* kindergarten. He's SUPER excited about kindergarten and I'm just trying to figure out how I feel about it... how can my baby be starting school? I was reminiscing with him the other day about when he was born and he promptly got out his baby book so we could look at pictures- he loves hearing about when he was a baby...
The 2nd to last day of school, his class had a little program- it was too cute-
It worked out (to our delight) that Mrs. Mackin got to be Bryson's teacher 2 years in a row since she moved from teaching the 3 year old class to the 4 year old class- we were soooo glad to have her again and will miss her (until Dallin is in her 4 year old class after next year!)
Some funny things she shared with me about Bryson:
They did some assessments for kindergarten readiness over the course of several days... one of the activities was on rhyming- Mrs. Mackin explained that she would say a word, and Bryson was to say a word that rhymed with it...
Mrs. Mackin: run
Bryson: sun [obviously he gets the general concept...]
Mrs. Mackin: sing
Bryson: dance
Mrs. Mackin: fill
Bryson: a can
Mrs. Mackin: let
Bryson: a cat be free [huh?? my personal favorite though *grin*]
Mrs. Mackin: mop
Bryson: drop [at least he finished strong, right??]
On another activity, he had to look at pictures, and say what the first sound in the word was, for instance, a picture of a cat, and he would make the 'cuh' sound... so there was a picture of some shoes- but since 'sh' is a more complex sound, Mrs. Mackin would tell the children they were tennis shoes- so Bryson correctly identified that the first sound was 't', but, he added, "it also starts with 'sh', which also means, 'be quiet.'"
One day, they were working on learning their phone numbers- there was a handout related to phone numbers with some questions they were asked and their answers recorded... One of the questions was "If I could call anyone, I would call..." Bryson replied, "the police."

Happy Birthday X 2
This year for Bryson and Dallins birthdays, we had a small 'family' party, rather than the hoopla we did last year- but I still took it upon myself to have fun making the cakes.... I could have used another hour to get them done how I really wanted them, but oh well.... unfortunately, it was the writing that I had to rush- so never mind the crooked writing... erg...

| Star Wars for Bryson |
 |
| Thomas & Friends for Dallin |
They loved their cakes (the looks and the eating of) and loved even more their presents- unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of them opening their presents, just video... Bryson got a new light saber and some Star Wars guys, and Dallin got some Thomas trains- together they got a big remote control Mustang, but I'm kinda thinking it's for the two of them to share with daddy...
Too cute not to post
Dallin and his best girlfriend, Ella- they have such a love-hate/play-hard-to-get relationship- too bad that even though he's older, she's almost a head taller than he is- aaaaaaand he has no hope of catching up- her mom is 6'2" and her dad is 6'1" (did I get those numbers right T&K??)
I never tire of crazy-Dallin-hair pictures. He'd been doing a little experimenting with using food as a replacement for hair product.... mmmm, I love the smell of ranch dressing scented hair...
Backwards
It's just hard when your clothes put themselves on backwards...
