My baby is SIX!

 

Oh you guys.......for some reason 6 hit me harder than 5. It's like we rounded the corner on our way to 10 😔 This having your kiddos grow up thing is hard, y'all!!! So incredibly bittersweet - because the watching him learn, be a brother, find his dreams and develop his character is pretty awesome, too! 

He didn't want to have a party this year. Instead, he just wanted a day with his buddy Reece. So Jeremy took him, Lucas & Reece for a day to play soccer, football and freeze tag - complete with McDonalds! 


But we still had to have presents! 

A new digger!!!

Thank you Beba and Bompa!!! It has since found it's way over to the kitchen so that they can make their creations!


All the toys and they go right to the new coloring books and crayons!

Thank you Grandma, Grandpa, Grandpa Bee & Grandma Bonnie! 


His "lava" cake!

(PS - creativity points for Mommy calling it a lava cake because this is what he actually requested in the colors pink, red and orange! 😂 My buttercream flopped and started oozing as soon as I applied it 😬) 

All he wanted to do on his birthday was go fishing!



The boys always flip-flop growth years. They were the same height at 1 year, then Seth was taller at two, they were the same at 3, Seth taller at 4 and since Lucas has already shot up since his birthday, I think they'll match up again at 5! 

Seth wants to have a farm with Lucas when he grows up, but work as a football player with the Chiefs 😉 He loves to play sports or games of any kind, riding his bike, board games, puzzles, coloring, play dough and reading stories. Anything he can win at is his favorite and something we continually work on LOL His imagination in the toy room is incredible - between paw patrol missions and kitchen creations! He loves playing Crash Bandicoot, superheroes of every kind, listening to music, dancing and be outside (unless it's too hot or buggy). This year included his first soccer "season", his first performance playing the maraca with his Aunt Sarah and family at church, his first year of school, being a great big brother to his first sister.....and speaking of firsts - FIRST grade starts in less than a month with Mommy as his teacher again ❤

Love this guy and the huge heart he has!!!!! 
It's a crazy ride but I'm so blessed to be his Mommy!

Our June!


Man! School ended and life exploded! We have been busier than normal this summer, but also a little shell shocked I think after staying in our house for 10 months last year 😂 I've got a little catching up to do and a full month of June to share!!!


When both babies nap.....

.....you set up Skype with yourself and the puppy so you can get things done but see when she wakes up to go potty 😂

The only way I can shower some days.....

The start of some new tricks.....

It's so crazy to look back on how little she was! (yes, yes - I act just like she's a human baby LOL I've become a full on pup momma)



This is what she does when she is hot!



He's pretty smitten with his first pets! 

As are they.....

Spontaneous naps are the best!

Even Captain America had to be put to bed!

Pre-coffee silliness 😂




If you hadn't noticed yet, she went through a tongue stage 😂


Happy Father's Day!!!

We brought some new (old) toys up from the basement for Kylie!



First he's sour.....

...then he's sweet!

An unwanted visitor one morning.....

Woooooooooo!!! 👐

We did it!!!

Let summer begin!

I'm so thankful that my mom is home. 
She helped this first year homeschooling Momma survive!

Happy Father's Day to my dad! 

{Jeremy's Dad was celebrated at the golf range 
so it was undocumented LOL}


I don't know what this bug is but it was pretty awesome to see him drying next to his shedded skin!

More tricks!

And some two-year flash backs!

😍😍😍
