Be nice to mom!

Wyatt has become my self appointed body guard.  He gets really worried if he thinks someone is being mean to me.  He will jump in and attack Jonah if me and Jonah are rough housing.  It is really sweet.  He is such a good kid, he really tries hard to do the right thing.  He has matured a lot in the last few months.  For a while he would get upset and scream at least a few times a day, but that is pretty rare now.  I love seeing him try so hard and go out of his way to be nice and look out for people.  He is so cute!  I was looking at him yesterday and thinking, man you are cute! 

Last week we registered Hallee for kindergarten.  She was so excited about her workbook that they gave her.  She has already finished it.

I have to post a picture of our yard because I'm really proud of it.  I have worked hard on the yard this Spring.  The kids and I weeded the yard during Spring break and I have kept up on it since then.  I mow and trim every week now and make sure I get any dandelions that pop up in the grass.  I enjoy yard work most of the time and I like to get it done during the week so we can have our weekends to play.  Keith has been working at least a few hours every Saturday so the kids and I try to get everything done so we can just play when Keith gets home.

Katie and Ben are in Europe for a week so we are keeping Kenzie.  The kids could hardly wait for Kenzie to get here on Saturday morning.  The kids love Kenzie and couldn't wait to play with her.  I have to remind them to give her space and not to try and pick her up all of the time, but it is really sweet to see how much they love playing with her.

They all get really excited when she reaches for them. 

We went to Lagoon after the boys' games on Saturday.  Kristin and Emily were there when we got there. It was fun to visit with Kristin while the kids rode rides. 

I am definitely out of toddler mode, I forgot how exhausting they are!  Kenzie was really good, but she wanted to wander around and it was so crowded.  We only stayed for a few hours because of the crowds. I stayed with Hallee and Wyatt while Keith rode some rides with Caitlyn and Jonah. 

Yesterday the kids built a fort after dinner. 

Hallee and Wyatt were so excited when Keith got in the fort with them.
