Lucky

 

Meet Lucky!  He was born last night sometime so we are calling his birthday today the 27th.  He is friendly and Mama Tara is letting us get close to him so that is nice too. 

2013 Block Party

We had our annual block party this last weekend.  It was a really nice night with everyone that came.  Leslie was in top form and wore a tiara most of the night.  The boys came over which is always fun to have a little young blood around.  And most of the neighbors were there.  The night before we got to have my step sister and her husband over with their 21 month old so we could show him the horses and take him for a cart ride.  There were just so many cool things he didn't want to go.  He and Kaj had had a great day canoeing with Gramma and Granpa.  Apparently Ty was trying to do everything that Kaj was doing.  At one point Kaj was climbing on a log and turns and says to Ty " You don't ever want to do this.  It is very dangerous"  Glad he knew he was being watched at least and warned Ty not to do it even if he isn't the most mothering type of child.  He is a bit more of the roll your eyes at someone wanting to copy everything you do.  But he can do alright and gets some practice at daycare with helping the little ones.  It is just one more week and Brandi goes back to her Mom's and it is just two more weeks before the kids go back to school.  I can't believe it.  It just dawned on me that Friday is the day that we find out what class he will be in.  I am so excited.  Probably more than Kaj even!

Beware a Penis Story!

Kaj: Mom you know what.
Mom: No what
Kaj: Yesterday my penis just went verrrt out the side of my underwear
Mom: Why did it do that
Kaj: It got scared
Mom: Why did it get scared
Kaj: Because it is dark in my underwear so it just went verrrt out the side!

The Aunts

Last weekend Kaj got another special treat of spending the weekend with the Aunts all by himself.  It is my understanding they were a bit nervous about driving Kaj from Silver Bay to Zim wondering what they were going to talk about.  But not to worry with Kaj.  He can go on forever joining all the stories and sentences together with "and you know what".  They were to go to the St. Louis county fair but it rained off and on all week so they ended up staying home and Kaj did a 150 piece puzzle.  He was really racing doing it he told me and finished his before Auntie Doris finished her big one.  He had a great time and it looking forward to going back.  Hopefully we can squeeze something in with Brandi before she has to go back for school. 
This weekend now Cousin Reese is here for a couple of days by herself with Gramma Becca and Granpa Jim.  So she and Kaj are running them ragged.  They had to bring extra rocks to the beach to throw in the lake!  Cousin Gus will be coming with his mom and dad today and Kaj has told me that he will be in charge of Gus.  We will see how that goes.  I think we will put camp couselor Brandi it charge of all the little ones and we will give the adults a break.  That reminds me that Brandi comes back today after having a couple of weeks with her Mom.  Don't tell her but we got her a snorkle and goggles and a sleeping bag for her birthday.  I would have to say that it has been a pretty good summer so far.  The kiddos have certainly enjoyed themselves.
