6 month check up

We had Kyle's 6 month check up today and he is growing like a weed! Kyle weighs 19 pounds 6 ounces and is 28 inches long. The doctor thought he looked perfect... and I agreed. After three shots and two toe pricks we were out of there!

Our Little Slugger!

Tonight was the first game for all stars and Jacob played great! He made a "home run" and had a double. (Not a traditional home run, but he had a good hit and made it around the bases before the ball was fielded.) We are so proud of Jacob.

The Muleshoe All Stars won their first game 17 to 13. This was the first game in the tournament and we play again tomorrow and Saturday. I guess we will be watching baseball all weekend.

Busy, Busy, Busy

I thought that things would slow down once summer was here, but we have not slowed any at all! Although, it is nice not having to take someone to school and pick them up. The boys have started sleeping later and later, which is nice, but they sleep through the cool part of the day and then want to play outside when it gets nice and hot. By boys, I mean Jacob and Riley... I would love for Kyle to sleep later and later. At this point, I would love for Kyle to sleep! He is finally healthy, but his sleeping patterns are not the way I want them to be. Kyle takes good naps and is a happy baby, but at night, he wakes up all night and some nights wants to play at 2 or 3 in the morning.

We packed a lot into our first full week of summer.

Jacob went to work with Kelly... I showed up just as they finished unclogging sprinklers. What is it with boys and water? They try to stay dry, but it is just impossible! (You have to love the socks!)

We made a trip to the park on Tuesday and met up with the Newberry clan.





Friday we headed over to Clovis for a few errands and met the Box Family at the zoo. This is a picture of all the kids.



Kyle enjoyed his first trip to the zoo!



Everyone had to check out Bevo.


Kyle is getting so big! He has been taking a bath in the bathtub for quite some time, but he has just recently started to really love it. Kyle kicks and laughs and tries to grab the water the entire time.



Tomorrow morning, I am off to Merkel to take Jacob to church camp. I am staying with a friend while Jacob goes to camp and we should be back on Wednesday. You might say a prayer for those camp counselors! They need all the prayers that they can get!

Come on August 25th!

Eighty three days until school starts. Not that I am counting or anything.

No More Teachers, No More Books...

Our summer officially started one hour ago!! Hooray! It looks like they let Jacob move on to 3rd grade, so we told Dillman good bye and came home to celebrate. (Little does Dillman know..we will be back in August with Mr. Riley) The boys started things off with a bang, they are in the front yard now with water guns and the sprinkler.

Playing in the Wheat

Kelly called and asked if I would take the boys out to a field of wheat and look for Manuel's phone. Kelly and Manuel had been working on the sprinkler in the wheat field earlier in the day and Manual had lost his phone then. Kyle was asleep in the car when we got there and so I told Jacob and Riley to get out and help me. Riley chickened out because the wheat was too tall, so Jacob and I took off through the wheat to find the spot where they had worked on the pivot. Once we got there, I called Manuel's phone with my cell phone and we heard Manuel's phone ring instantly. After digging around, we found the phone. Jacob thought it was so much fun, he wanted to do it again. On the way back to the car, Jacob said, "Mom, can we throw dad's phone out in the wheat and call with your phone to look for it...?" I told Jacob to ask his dad that question.

Allergies...

We have all been suffering from allergies, but Kyle is just miserable! He cannot breathe when he is laying down, so he is not resting well at all. (Which means I am not resting well, either.) Kyle also has a bad case of pink eye. He has to be miserable with eyes that hurt, a stopped up nose and to top it all off, he is teething. I stayed home from church today because I did not want to take a cranky baby and spend the entire time trying to keep him happy.

Kelly is still working hard to get everything planted. Hopefully, he is done planting cotton. We thought he was done last week and he ended up replanting one field yesterday. Today, he should finish planting the male pollinators for the seed milo and then he can plant the corn for silage. (The corn for grain was planted several weeks ago.) If everything goes smoothly (and it never does) we should be done with most of the planting in another week. We have a good chance for rain this evening. Rain would be wonderful... Kelly would have to take a break!
