Miles First Birthday!

 

I can't believe he's already one! That first year flew past! Miles is such a fun little guy. He LOVES playing with his sisters and thinks anything loud or destructive is the greatest. He strated walking about 3 weeks before his birthday, and is now trotting all over the house. His favorite toy right now is the tupperware drawer.

 

 

Miles loved his cupcake, well, he loved the big number one candle that was on top of it. He demolished the cake, and then sucked on the bottom of the candle.

 

Happy Birthday little guy! We love you!

 

Lucy's Super Star Day

 

All the kids in her class got to decorate a poster all about them and bring it to school. Lucy chose all the stuff to go on hers and told me where to glue it. I think it turned out great!

FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN!

Lucy was SO excited for school to start. We've been counting days all summer. She says she wants to be "an animal explorer and discoverer," so I shortened it to zoologist. Sometimes she says she wants to be a missionary then a farmer, but she REALLY loves animals right now. She loves to color and her favorite food is macaroni, (of course.) and she LOVES cooked broccoli and cauliflower with butter and salt.



 

Lucy picked her favorite color to wear on the first day.

And there goes my little girl on a very big bus...

 

(Lydia had to get in on the photo taking action)

 

And she's been a little jealous and sad about Lucy leaving her behind, as you can see from the following picture... 

Lucy: "I'm going to kindergarten! He he!"

Lydia's thoughts: "Whatever."

Miles 10 months!

 

Look at those blue eyes!

 

Miles loves his blanket. He'll bury his face in it and wrestle with it.

 

 

 

 

He LOVES driving this car around.

 

Miles is starting to take steps, but feels his 3 legged gorilla crawl is more effective.

 

Just lubing up the remote.

 

 

And finally....

 

the best picture EVER!

Swim Lessons

 

The girls did great in swim lessons this year. Lucy was always dolphin diving in and out of the water while she was waiting, and Lydia wouldn't keep her head out of the water. She would practically body slam herself into the pool!

They were really fun to watch!
