Our smallest (by age, not size!) boy is now a full-fledged walker! – He started to take some real steps June 20 and by June 21 he was walking all over the place.

As of today he is a pro and literally runs across the room at times. He is so funny

Here’s a cute pic of him (and then Kyne) taking a bath in the sink.

They’ve never had baths in the sink before. Daddy thought it would be a quick and easy way to clean them up after a messy dinner. It wasn’t.

His school Spring/Summer photos arrived and we really love them. He is so grown up now (looks-wise, I wouldn’t say attitude wise )

We pulled some old pics off of the camera from when Rhys was born and they are so sweet I wanted to share them:

Brings back such wonderful memories <3

Just been super-busy with life in general (and 4 kids). Time just flies by and before I know it a month or so has passed.

All the kids are doing good – No sickies for awhile (fingers crossed I don’t jinx things!).

Talon took his EOG tests last week…then took retakes – He ended up not passing his reading, which we were so shocked by because he is a pretty great reader…even his teacher was shocked. We’re hoping his great class scores will help him not be kept back in 3rd grade.

He also graduated into the Webelo’s at Cub Scouts! We all went and hung out at the campsite for the day and then watched him crossover. The kids had a blast! It was a lot of fun..Kyne ate too much popcorn and threw-up all over his bed that night though

(There are pics of Talon doing his crossover on my facebook)

Tayah has just completed her first session in gymnastics and is moving up to Level II – She really loves it and I am glad she gets to do something all on her own (with just mommy watching).

Kyne has hit the terrible two’s stage. He is demanding, whiny, physical…but still awesome – He loves to do imaginary play with Tayah and they can play cars all day long. He regressed with the potty training and will no longer use it at all

RJ is growing up into a beautiful, sweet little boy. He took his first steps on Friday (May 29) and loves to stand up on his own. He says quite a few words now (RJ, Tayah, bad-boy, uh-oh, num-num, up and a few more). He still has no teeth..but eats better than Kyne ever did at this age (and Kyne had at least 4 by now). He weighs over 20 lbs now (and Kyne is almost 24lbs) and wears the same size clothes as Kyne (shorts and onesies only).

We had the backyard landscaped 2 weeks ago. It took 2 days to complete and we are very happy.

We chose to save on costs and do a few things ourselves, so we still need to add a border around the pine straw and we’re adding edging around the swing set and filling it with rubber mulch.

This is where they completely removed a tree stump and roots…it looks so much better.

We had new seed put down so hopefully the grass starts growing soon!

Our little guy is already letting go of the furniture and trying to walk! He doesn’t get anywhere…I mean he’s only 8 months…but he sure loves trying!

Cheeky monkey!

Everyone thinks he looks a lot more like Kyne now…I dunno, I don’t see it as much.

I love when they wear these outfits…not only are they super-cute, they also hold-up really well and are so comfy.

Started pulling up to standing about 2 weeks ago…now he’s cruising the furniture AND he just started climbing the stairs! Yup, our 7.5 month old is able to climb stairs.

I have a feeling he’ll be walking very early. He already tries to let go of the furniture on his own and take-off!

I will post pics tomorrow.

Kyne’s appointment went remarkably well! I was amazed at how good he was. I let them give him 1 vaccine (he hasn’t had any since 9 months) to catch-up to the schedule and they did a finger-prick to test his blood. He cried for about 10 seconds with the vaccine, and only for a second with the prick…he was such a brave boy.

As for his weight…he is finally back on the charts! He is at the 4th% weighing in at 23lbs 4oz! – We were all very pleased to see this. He is also 35 inches long…so tall and skinny.

We went to the park when daddy got home because he was so brave!

Mum arrives today so I gotta finish my cleaning Sooooo excited!
