The Fourth of July

We had a big family bbq and fireworks fun on the fourth of July

All of the kids swam and played in the sun

Grandpa took a turn holding Kyle while the other adults lit fireworks. Kyle didn't seem to mind any of the loud BOOMS and he LOVED the fireworks show!

I carefully lit a sparkler and held it for Kyle

By the end of the evening, Kyle was one tired little boy! While I was putting him to bed he could still hear the fireworks outside. He looked up at me, smiled and said "BOOM"!

What a ham!

We went to a birthday BBQ last night....... my friend Shawn had her camera out and Kyle was his typical camera HAM!

No, these aren't marks on his face...... it is AVOCADO!

Gosh, I just think he is the cutest!

An evening at Edgefield

We went to Edgefield the other evening with Aunt Keri. This is one of Mommys favorite places to go!This is in front of a water tower, a spot Kyle loves to climb on and jump off of. He had just found a friend that was his size!
There are so many paths and open spaces that he just LOVES to explore

and he EVEN wanted to play golf!

DOGS!

I have started helping out a family friend a few days a week

and she has 3 dogs!
Kyle has really taken to them, although I am VERY allergic!

Pretty darn cute!

Three little crocodiles with Grandpa

This is a song that Grandpa has taught and shared with each of his Grandkids...... He told it to Kyle for the first time last night. I don't think I need to explain how much he LOVED it!

Can't forget the video!

Here is Kyle dancing with the "Between the Lions" puppets. He has got the MOOOVES!

"Between The Lions" visits the Portland Zoo

Today we got to spend the day with Aunt Tyra and Cousin Marin

The PBS show "Between The Lions" came to our zoo today!

Kyle had a BLAST singing and dancing with all of the other kids and with the puppets


He was SO into it!
