Summer is Starting!

Monday on a whim I decided to pack up the kids and go play at the St. George Town Square in the water.  We all had too much fun.  Kylie is old enough to just go off on her own and play (as long as I can see her), and Hayden wanted to hold my hand almost the whole time.

We also got to play in the fountains for a little bit.  Hayden was not too interested, and Kylie said the water was too cold.

Tuesday we went on a walk with Sophia and Kylie was so cute with her and held her hand a lot.

Wednesday we got a visit from Grandpa Pete on his way back home from Vegas!  He actually had stopped by on his way to Vegas on Sunday night and had dinner with us as well.  It was fun to see him again and Kylie liked spouting incoherent sentences to him.

We also did a lot of painting this week.  Kylie has rediscovered her painting books and Hayden likes joining her.

So for the past week and a half Hayden has been phasing out one of his naps.  Usually it is his afternoon nap.  But I would really rather he kept that one and phased out his morning one.  So I have been trying to keep him up until about 1 or 2 in the afternoon.  Sometimes it works, and sometimes he has his morning nap at the regular time.  On Friday it seemed like he would make it until the afternoon for his nap until he crashed at lunch time.  Eating lunch.  Which is so abnormal for him.   Both Hayden and Kylie don't like to fall asleep in odd spots.  They really like their beds, carseats, and sometimes Kylie will crash on the couch.  It was the cutest thing, but quite the challenge to clean all that peanut butter off him while he slept.

Later that night we went over to Dixie University where they were having a free carnival to celebrate D Week.  They had bounce houses and and game booths and free food.  It was fun, but Hayden wanted to get down and run around like a crazy man which he couldn't do with all the people there.  I was so impressed by Kylie and how patient she has gotten, especially waiting in lines!  It made me so happy.

This next video of Kylie was too long so I had to break it in two - so it over laps a bit on the second one - but it is her doing a bouncy obstacle course which she loved!

Kylie loves to draw people now (and question marks), and I once caught her with a little person she drew on her hand.  I was upset that she drew on herself, but it was so cute at the same time!

She also knows how to blow up a balloon by herself!!  My little girls is learning new things every day!!

Oh, also I am pretty sure Hayden can say 'dog' now.  He definitely says a short "D" word when dogs are nearby or he can hear them.
