Emma Graduates Kindergarten!

May/June were busy for us so please excuse the month-in-review over the next few posts.

Emma graduated Kindergarten on May 2o. It was a great day for Stan and myself and Emma too. Emma had a great year! She excelled and progressed faster that I thought she would. Emma loved going to school and cried when it was over! Emma also had a great teacher whom Emma LOVED.

On the last day of school they have a circus day and Emma worked so hard at perfecting her Hula-hooping. She had fun picking our her outfit and let me paint a butterfly in her face. She had a great time. It is hard to believe that she is going to be in first grade next year. It is crazy how fast she has grown up. I remember being excited when she was 2 for the day she would go to school and now that she does I cannot believe that it is here already. I am so proud of how hard she works and how she helps Tyson to figure things out too. I also love that she can read me books!!! I cannot wait to see what next year holds for her!!!!

What a cutie!!

Here are some pictures of my sweet Lily that help remind me that she can be a cutie and not a tyrant!

A Good Number

On Saturday Tyson was helping Stan fix the toilet, having a great time. He was so excited he got to hold the BIG flashlight! Ya know one of the long heavy duty ones. Well for those of you who know Tyson, he is a bit absent minded and clumsy. Before long he tripped and landed with the flashlight under his chin! He managed to bite a small piece off the side of his tongue. Likely I was not at home or I probably would have freaked out!!! When Tyson showed me what he did I told him he did a good number on his tongue. Later at the grocery store Tyson asked me what number it was. I told him 7 not really thinking about the question. Tyson promptly tell Stan that I said he did a 7 on his tongue because 7 is a good number!!! I died laughing! He is so sweet, I love it!

Emma's new do!

A couple of weeks ago Emma wanted a hair cut. She came up with what she wanted! Short with bangs.

Funny story:
a couple of days before she got her hair cut she new she wanted bangs but didn't know what they were called. She explained them to me as bumps on your forehead. I knew instantly what she meant and tried to reminder what they are called. When Stan got home she wanted to share with him her idea for how to cut her hair. She explained that she wanted bumps and left it at that. Stan's eyes got very big and looked at me for help. I started to laugh. Then I explained that she meant bangs. It was so funny. I almost left him hanging for a moment but decided not to since I am such a nice person. ;)

Crazy Lily!

Like most 18 month olds they are into everything. Lily is no exception. She knows when to be busy because mom is busy too. On day I was getting ready and there was a box of cereal left on the table from breakfast. Lily decided to help herself. Who needs mom? No her!

If there is a tight space anywhere you can bet the Lily will try to fit in it. There is a cupboard on an angle so it is not very big but it Lily's favorite place to play. If she is not taking out the tupperware she it trying to sit in it! it is really funny.




Lily is also always trying to wear anything of Emma's. She loves her shoes and coats. It is really cute. Emma loves to dress her up to. Tyson thinks it is pretty fun too. Everyday they are trying to get Lily into something different.









The other day while I was making dinner Lily was having fun in the kitchen too. She unloaded everything that she is not supposed to. It was great. I was trapped in the kitchen because it was a hazard area to try to get out. Lily thought it was great. Once she was finished with the coloring books she moved on the the picture books. I think she has a thing for books! ;)
