More Summer Fun

It's so sad that summer is coming to an end.  Both Kayla and Colin will be going through some daycare and preschool changes in the coming weeks.  Kayla has been moved up to the Rainbow room, which is one level closer to 4k.  She's such a smart cookie and always wanting to learn more.  Now if we can just control her little attitude that she is developing, we'll be good to go.  For example, if Kayla is talking to me and Jordan says something, she'll say something like, "Dada, was I talking to you? No, I was talking to Mama."

Colin on the other hand is going through a major daycare change as Jenny will no longer be able to provide care in a couple of weeks.  So we are doing our best to find someone just as good in the short amount of time.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it all works itself out.  Colin is just going to have to be a resilient little guy.  His new words are: meooow, up!, mine!, bye bye, and he's giving kisses.  He likes to show us things that he wants in the kitchen: fridge and sink mean he's thirsty and the cupboard means he's hungry.  If we don't follow him right away, he'll come over, take our hand, and make sure we come with him.  Quite persistent.

A few weeks ago, I went with Kayla and her class to a local dairy farm.  Here are some pictures from our fun morning.  On the school bus!

Milking a cow!!  I even got to milk a cow for the first time.  We even learned they have a cow on their farm named Kayla.

Kayla is actually not scared to feed the goats!

Here's Kayla with the neighbor kid.  They have a pretty good time playing together.

Pull Kayla!

Cute little Colin.  You can't see in this photo, but he's holding and eating a pear from our pear tree.  Even though they're pretty sour, Colin loves to gnaw on them.

Good bye long Colin hair, we will miss you!  Colin had his first haircut a week ago, and he looks like such a handsome little guy!  Not that he wasn't before, but he definitely looks older.  : )  He had many facial expressions from What's going on??

to Yay! First haircut!  I'm doing so well!

Haircut, what haircut?  I've got a fun bear to play with.

Don't mess with me and my new hair cut!

Ok, I'm done.

Hmm...what's wrong with this picture??

Grandma and Papa Rowe got Kayla a new bike with training wheels.  Within a matter of minutes, she was a pro at riding and stopping.  Even Colin was checking her cool bike.

Weee....look at her go!

This was both Kayla and Mama's first time in a row of corn.

Kayla and Colin playing with chalk.  You can't tell cause Colin is sitting on them, but Kayla is starting to learn how to write letters!  She's pretty good at A, L, O, H, and V.

Yep, that's Kayla playing a Game Boy.  Major flashback to the early 90's I think??

Hey, it's a photo of all of us!  Kayla and Colin were baptized this Sunday and don't they look cute all dressed up!
