Kansas City Zoo

Last weekend Sheldon had a golf tournament so Kyler and I went down to KC to see Rachel. It was just a last minute thing but we decided to go check out the zoo. It was really nice and Kyler loved it. We are going to the Omaha Zoo next Friday. Kyler can't wait.

Take a bite out of crime

Well all has been well. Nothing much new to share. We are still fighting our way through temper tantrums from time to time and his new favorite mean of defence... biting. He was very irritable last night and spent his share of time on the knotty step. He was pretty good over the weekend for the most part though.

We had a bar b q to go to Saturday night and he played pretty good with all the kids there. We didn't even get home till about 1:30 am. The guys were down stairs and claim the clock was wrong and they didn't know it was that late!!! Nice excuse.

Then we had a pretty relaxing Mother's Day. Sheldon fixed me french toast... or tried anyway. he is an excellent french toast cook but fist our power went out then we ran out of syrup... bummer. Then we headed to town to get some stuff. We pulled an old bush out by our back porch and needed something to go there. So for Mother's day I said I wanted a dwarf lilac bush. So that is what I got. So we got that and some flower and worked outside most of the afternoon.

Sheldon starts softball this week so one more thing to make the weeks busier. He pays Tue and Thur but this week both games are at 9:00 pm. So needless to say we won't make it to these games. I think Kyler will really enjoy going through.

Well I don't have any pictures this time... my battery's ran down in my camera and I just got some more yesterday. So maybe this weekend I will catch a few more pictures.

Hope everyone has a good week.

Swingy, Swingy

Kyler has been keeping me on my toes. He has defiantly hit the terrible 2's!! It gets really bad when he gets tired. So about 7:00pm each night it is fit time. If you don't give him what he wants to do what he wants you to he has learned to throw a full blown fit!! He will throw himself down on the floor kicking and screaming, hit anything in site even you if you get in his way. The other night he was setting on the counter in the kitchen and started to throw a fit and hit his head on the window and kicked over my full glass of ice water. So on the knotty step he goes!! Now I will say last night he was a little angel!!!

He has been talking so much more. He will put two, three or even four words together. And the words that come out of his mouth make me laugh. Last night we were outside and he seen a birdie. He said "pet turkey?" Then he corrected himself and said "pet birdie?"

Kyler is really into Dora right now. So i found him a Dora DVD at a yard sale Saturday. We watched it Sunday morning and there as a party where you were suppose to get up and march. I was showing him how to do it but he just set there and looked at me like I was crazy. Well last night he was on the floor with Sheldon playing and he stood up and said "daddy march!" as he proceeded to high step in place. I about fell over. How did he remember that? He is growing up so fast!

Well we finally got the swing set together. We worked on it for a few hours last weekend and didn't get very far. So Saturday we got most of it up. We got it standing Saturday afternoon while Kyler was taking his nap. He woke up and looked out the window and all excited said, "daddy fix it, daddy fix it. " I was so proud of his Daddy for getting it put up.

Here are some pictures I have been meaning to post for a while...

Sheldon went outside one evening after it had rained and found Kyler a worm. He didn't really know what to think of it. He would never hold it.

Now for some swinging pictures... He even put on his "flopsies" so he calls them.

Here is a picture of the whole swing set after we got it together. The only thing you can't see is it has a little picnic table on the back. We sat at it last night and ate ice cream sandwiches... He loves those thing. They are the cause of half of his fits. He thinks he should be able to have one first thing in the morning when he wakes up sometimes... I'm such a mean mom!!!

And last but not least... a short video of going UP the slide last night. he is such a little monkey!!!
