Gilcrease Pumpkin Farm

 we went to the Gilcrease Farm this weekend and it 

was SOOOO hot. We had one week of cool weather and now we

are back in the 90s but we also got to swim in our new pool all weekend too :)

 Kellan with his hands up telling Rick what to do

we say he's the bossiest 2 year old around

we had to do a limit this year 2 each otherwise we come home with

way too many. Kids had so much fun even though everyone was sweating.. We came home

and jumped in the pool. 

Rick's Seattle Trip

 Rick had a blast and deserved some guy time, they even got

to go eat with Fitzsimons a few times ( his mentor) 

So Rick takes Mia to school a few days a week and helps 

with the Watchdog Dad program and Kira, Mia's little best friend

just adores Kellan. She asked if he can be her little brother too ( she's the youngest in her family) 

Mia said, sure I can share him.. Haha so funny

Rick's Bday

 We had cake and presents with Grandpa and Grandpa M

but we didn't get any pictures with them. Rick took Mia to dance and

then we had pizza and salad and just hung out. 

 then Rick got to go to Seattle tp watch the Seahawks game with his friend Aaron for a short day 

and a half.

we are happy to say that Kellan pictured here is no longer pooping 

in the backyard. He walked over to his toilet last week and said, " I think I'm going to poop

in my potty." Mia and I were like ya right and then he did it! So he pretty much knew how to the whole time and wanted to be in control of it. Then a few days ago while Rick was talking to the pool

guy Kellan said, " DADDDD the dog is back. He pooped in the backyard again. This kid thinks he's pretty funny.

While talking to Mia's golf coach I heard Mia yell, "MOMMMM I turned around and he was peeing on the sand trap shorts to the ground butt naked in front of about  80 old men having a dinner party at the golf course. Her coach was dying, I was dying and Mia was trying to cover him up and kick dirt over his pee at the same time.

This kid. 

September Happenings

 I had these cute pics on my phone right 

before we went back to school: we did a playdate

with Kira, went to the Discovery Museum and swimming, we had a blast!

 Kellan absolutely loves when Kira comes to play

 they even had to change into matching shirts

 they played dress up at the museum and Rick did not want me to let 

Kellan come out in this but I did anyway, what was I suppose to do??

Anyway, his face says it all!!

 they both want to be vets, have a mansion, be roomates,

have a yaht, the list goes on and on, but unless this Common Core math doesn't

go away before she gets into college, I'm not sure we will be a doctor!

 I've been trying to get my dad to build a playhouse for

the kids and he is so busy, I bought this one for $50 just to appease them for awhile.

They love it!

 this kid is cracking me up: he is still taking over an hour to just 

fall asleep after throwing bears, toys, telling me I'm a mean mom,

he's mad at me, he's not tired, on and on

The conversations he has are so funny:

The other night he said:

-everyone toots even my grandmas

-horses have big butts

- my peepee is now bigger than dad's

 not only is he not going to bed easily, he still randomly gets up in the middle of the 

night screaming and still refuses to poop in the potty. He pees just fine, so now he is going outside to

poop- kid you not, so we pretty much have a dog that we clean up after daily

all I know is he needs to have this written down so that he knows what a flexible mom I was with him.

 this is the love that Mia gets after school, he just misses her sooo much.

Rick walks her to school a lot and Kellan just loves doing that. He also is just loving his sitter Kinzy who is watching Kellan just for the month of September until she gets married. He is so in love with her, thinks she's his girlfriend, puts his special shirt on when she comes over ( Blaze and the Monster Machine) and the other day he said, "Kinzy can I see a picture of "your guy" so she showed him and he said, "Okay I guess he's cool." this kid is too much

 We finally got our pool done right before Labor Day and the kids of course are loving these last

few weeks of summer. They love our pool but still want to go to grandma's house too!

It's pretty warm for not having the heater up all the time so that's good and we are finishing our

backyard too, so more pics to come!

 We also ran to the lake on Labor Day with grandma and grandpa B

We went all the way to a restaurant and had yummy burgers and Mia even stood up on the wake board with grandpa ( for a $$ bribe)

 Mia with my dad on the wake board

 Let the brainwashing begin: football season with the Seahawks!

Kellan is also getting lots of extra time with his dad while we are at school

Wally brought Kyse and Laith to Vegas for a few days- we didn't get enough pictures but

they got to go to the lake on Friday and then the kids just swam and played

The guys even got to go to the movies Friday night.

The kids loved it and everyone was sad that they had to go home.

 too fun!
