Literal

Last night we were watching Marley and Me with Katya for a movie night.

At one point, the dad and mom take off their clothes and go skinny dipping in their pool.

After the dad took off his shirt and jumped in the pool, Katya immediately stood up, unzipped her footy pajamas, and started taking them off, saying "Water, Water, Water."

It was hilarious.

It just doesn't get any cuter...

Wheeler Farm

Sunday we decided to take in the sites and sounds of Wheeler Farm. The weather was perfect and the kids really enjoyed it.

This little guy loved this place!

The stare down

Katya loves to climb rocks

The huge chicken- It was seriously almost as tall as her.

Cali loves water and had to wash her hands...

...and get a drink.

Katya needed a drink too. Now, wait for it....

... Katya doesn't mind sharing her water.

Katya absolutely loved looking at the chickens and talking to them forever.

Feeding the ducks- the main purpose we came.

A goose- these animals aren't shy.

Mr. T- The baby Mob Boss

Picked up this snazzy suit for Mr. T that came with a tie, but his neck is a little too fat to button and it is also missing the second button so he sports this snazzy look. All he needs is a gold chain and he could be the new Milcreek 8th Ward Baby Mob boss. (There are about 10 babies around his age so they will be a mob in nursery together.)

My Little Prince

I just can't get over how irresistibly cute he is. Love him.

I think he's outgrowing his tub.

Cookie Time

Nya came over to play one day so we decided to make cookies. The kids loved eating the dough more than cutting out cookies- just like Jethro.

Preschool Here I Come!

Katya was so excited to go to preschool this year. She now goes 4 days a week and absolutely loves it. She walks right in and has no hesitation at all. (I hope this is how it is for the rest of her school years.) She always walks out with a big smile on her face and there is no more forcing her to go the next day. I love it. Her friend Spencer is in her class and they have so much fun together. Can't wait to see how much she learns and grows.

Why am I so excited for this week?

1. Jethro has today off.
2. Dinosaur Museum.
3. Katya has preschool.

I think she loves her brother...

I walked in to check on the kids after they had gone to bed and this is how I find two of the kids. Katya has a really soft spot for her brother. She also has a really soft spot for people who sound hurt or sad. If someone cries, coughs, chokes, she always asks "Are you ok?". I'm sure Tenzing was crying and Katya couldn't stand hearing it so she crawled in their to comfort her. It makes my heart melt to see the love she has for him.
