Too Cute

I just had to post how cute Wyatt looked for school today! My little skater boy! Well, he's not too little because in two weeks he'll be 7 years old!

First day of school

Today was the first day of school for Wyatt and Aiden. Can you believe that I have a second grader? Where did the time go! Wyatt was so excited. He has a really nice teacher that we are really happy with so far and lots of friends in his class.

This one came out a little fuzzy.

He had a lot of supplies to carry!

Waiting to go down the street for the bus stop.

Aiden started preschool again today. He loves his teachers Mrs. Webb and Mrs. Brown. They are Ryan's aunt and cousin and they do such a good job. Aiden was dressed and ready to go to school with his backpack on at 8 this morning. School doesn't even start until 10:45. He had a really fun first day!

This is his COOL pose! This should be a great year!

New baby cousins

We have had two new baby nieces born in the last month. My sister Jaime had her baby at the end of June. They named her Caitlin Marie Ashlock. Isn't she cute?

My sister in law Christine had her baby this morning so we got to go down to the hospital to meet her. She was 9 lbs. 5 oz. and was 21.5 in. long. She had the chubbiest cheeks and lots of dark hair. They named her Annie Kay Koppert. We are so excited to have another cousin on Ryan's side.




The boys love holding babies and are so excited to babysit them sometime!

Fossil Creek

This week we took a day trip up to Fossil Creek. It wasn't too much cooler up there but the water was cold and crystal clear. You could see lots of fish swimming all around and Ryan and Aiden even saw a turtle swimming.

Wyatt was worried the fish were going to nibble on him so he would not go in the water. We got him in to see the blackberry bushes on the other side of the creek but he had to ride on Ryan's back. He still cried about getting only his feet and legs wet! Notice in the picture how he has his hands and feet up in the air!

Wyatt spent a lot of time finding cool rocks and leaves. He was hoping to find some frogs but no such luck.

We spotted this rope swing as soon as we got there. It was so much fun! Aiden loved it!

The water was really cold so for the first swing Aid rode on Ryan's back across.

Swinging some more on the rope.

It was nice to get out for the day and for Ryan to be able to come with us. It seems like he is always at work!

4th of July

We had a fun 4th of July. They boys and I went and saw The Hannah Montana movie during the day while Ryan was at work. They both loved it! Yes, my boys love Hannah Montana and so do I! Then after Ryan got off we went to Schnepf farms and saw the fireworks. I think I would have enjoyed them more if it wasn't so darn hot!


The boys had these sticker tattoo's but Aiden didn't want to wear his for very long. Wyatt thought it was pretty cool!

Skateland

We went to Skateland this week with my sister and two of her kids. It was so fun! My boys had a blast and keep asking everyday when they can go back. Here is Aiden, Wyatt, Hailee, and Noah.




It took Aiden a while to get used to skating and by the end he was going around by himself just like the rest of us!

Wyatt went to Skateland with a friend a little while back so he knew how to skate pretty well but secretly I think he thought it was cool to crash! He has a huge bruise on his knee to prove it!

Aiden practicing by the wall just in case since there were a lot of people there.

Skateland reminded me of back in the day. It was just like old times!

The Greatest Show on Earth

For father's day, Ryan's mom and stepdad Randy got him tickets for us all to go to the circus. The kids were so excited and so was I since we have never been before. Ryan went when he was younger. This was at the beginning of the show. We had awesome seats in the 2nd row!



They did all kinds of flips and tricks on these ropes made of fabric. It was pretty cool!

These are the best pictures I could get since Ryan took this one and Aiden would not cooperate!

The crazy boys!

My favorite part was the elephants. They did some crazy things especially since they are such huge animals! I also loved how they kept telling them to hold on to each others tails with their trunks when they walked.

They were balancing on their front feet and their trunks!

It was cool how the elephants kind of flung these girls up on their backs with their trunks and then they stood on these stools.

More elephant tricks! I told you they were my favorite part.

The tigers were awesome too. I kind of feel bad for them but it was amazing to watch.

This tiger was sitting on one of the other tigers.

Standing up tall!

The circus was so much fun and the kids loved it. Wyatt really liked when the girls were shot out of the cannon. Next time the circus is in town we will have to go again.
