Today was rough...

Today was NOT a good day for Kohen and I....We did NOT get along very well....But I have to say that it was pretty much all his fault (haha)....I seriously must have had 99 blaring red buttons on my body because he pushed all of them IN ONE DAY!

He was just super mean...Yelling and talking back...Hitting Kresee...Basically doing everything I asked him not to do...Just flat out looks at you, smiles and does it anyways...Ugh!

I have these days where I'm excited to stay home with the kids...I enjoy having those opportunities during the summer when I'm off work...I don't keep them everyday because they need to have a semi-consistent schedule during the summer....Kresee still needs to go to Mimi's and Kohen still needs to go to preschool...But today OMG....He wore me out....

So after 1000 time-outs and 100 spankings, he went to bed tonight with no book or no talking...I think the no talking killed him...That is his favorite time of the day where I lay in bed with him and we just talk about anything and everything....

Tomorrow he will be at school and I'm praying for a Happy Thursday:)

But thank goodness she had a great day...I couldn't handle two bad kids or I might have had a meltdown....

Bug Fest

After spending the afternoon at the IP waterpark, I took Kohen to Bug Fest at Riverbend on Saturday....I'm glad Kerry stayed home with Kresee b/c she would have been hot and completely bored....He was pretty worn out and so we lasted about an hour and 15 minutes...He had a great time...His teacher at school is all about bugs right now and he was excited to look at all the things they had:)

His favorite---scorpions and spiders!

Holding a millipede (I think)....

And see the brown stuff on him...Well, it pooped on him!!....

Looking at the tiniest wasp in the world...It's the size of a speck of dust....

Ladybug Man....

Waterpark

We met up with some friends Saturday at the Iowa Park Waterpark....This was Kresee's first time so I snapped a few pics with my lovely cell phone:)....

She had a blast and I can't wait to take her back...Of course, Kohen loves it there because he jumps off the diving board 50 times in a row....

Kerry was mowing the other day and Kresee was just riding (sitting) in her car...Again, I took this with my cell phone...I loved seeing her hair just blowing in the wind...

Art Class #2

I had the chance to go to my 2nd art class last night...I had a blast...Meet up with 8 friends at Los Tres Amigos before the class...Had drinks and dinner...Then went to art class where we painted a flag...I'm sooo glad I wore the same pants as last time...I had gotten a little turquoise paint on them from the first class...But last night I managed to drop my brush and now have 2 black paint spots on them...So I officially have a pair of painting pants!!!...But we had so much fun...After class, we went back to Los Tres Amigos for some more drinks;)...Can't wait to do it again!!!

My 2 Pups

Kresee LOVES telling Sage to get in the crate when we are leaving....I know when I need some time to get everything together without stinkpot glued to my leg, I can say tell Sage to go lay down...Then Kresee is on a mission...."Aaaaaaa"..."de de de" (Sage get)...and she gets the finger pointing....When Sage gets in the pantry and goes in the crate she slams that door shut and is so proud of herself:)

But the other night, she felt the need for the first time ever to get in the crate herself...She had a blast...So much fun, Kohen thought he needed to join her....

Birthday Pics

So I waited to order Kresee's bday pictures until I got Kohen's done...Yes she is now 15 months, but I wanted to get them together on a CD:)...AND we wanted to try and get a few of her again since she was a bad baby on her bday picture day:(.... I finally got them ordered...I just love them all and can't wait to get some prints ordered!!!

My big 4 year old boy.....

I got a huge one of this picture...24x20...I have one that big of Kresee and I wanted to get one of him to hang together....

Had to get some Coyote Football pictures....

Kresee at her 12 mos. pictures back in March.....

Happy Father's Day

(I took this last night after realizing I hadn't taken one picture all day long---Kresee is beyond exhausted...Kohen is burnt from swimming all day and is very, very tired as well)

We had a wonderful day yesterday celebrating our Daddy, Kerry....The kids and I went upstairs all morning to let him sleep in...That is something that is rare in our house....I made cinnamon rolls and coffee for him when he got up and around at 10:30....He then had to do some yucky yardwork, but the kids love going outside when he's out there anyways...We then went to Kerry's parents for the rest of the day like we do every Sunday....All the cousins get to hang out...So Kohen and Jaxson stayed in the pool most of the day....We ate lots of yummy cake balls...And had Domino's pizza (Kerry's fav) for dinner....

These aren't from yesterday but just from the past few times during yardwork....The kids just love following him around and riding on the lawn mower with him...

Kerry is a wonderful Dad....I could name a thousand reasons, but I won't:)...Thanks for being someone our children will look up to as they grow....

Boots

Kresee LOVES putting on everyone else's shoes....They are on her hands or feet all the time...She pulled out Kerry's boots and he stuck her in them...She just stood there contemplating on what to do b/c she had no idea how to walk in them!

Comparing Cuties

We got out this sea turtle floaty thing for the first time with Kresee this evening....Shocker--she wasn't a fan...Kohen loved this darn thing and still does as you can see....I love comparing pictures....They are both 15 mos in these...

Kohen Brant.....

Kresee Leigh......

And then the huge 4 yr old.........

Gymnastics

Kohen started Gymnastics last week, but since I was out of town I didn't get to take any pictures of his first day....He really wanted to do them again this summer and had been asking since February...We did a Mommy and Me class when he was 2 and last summer with Kresee just being such a little baby, I was very interested in signing him up for much of anything (yes, I was a terrible mom--haha)....

My mom comes over every Tuesday to play with the kids...I go to Zumba while she watches them...When I got home she said that Kohen asked her to help him put on his boxing gloves...She did and went to change Kresee's diaper and he fell asleep like this in his chair....I guess gymnastics wore him out:)
