Sports fanatic!

My little sports fanatic!!! He loves anything that involves playing with a ball!! So....that's baseball, basketball, football, soccer, tennis, golf, etc. In this picture he was watching the Backyardigans, "Soccer Monster" episode and Kailyn had helped him get all his balls together! Such a sweet sister! At least this time he didn't raid his closet looking for his soccer shirt:)

My silly little man!

Will has been really into playing with Mr. Potato Head the last few days and last night I looked up and found him like this! He looked at me and said "glasses" and I bust out laughing!!! What a cool little kid you are Will!!!

The Fourth!

For the Fourth of July I made the famous flag cake with blueberries and strawberries! You can see exactly where the kids helped put on some berries:) We also worked on our deck and were able to go to Ryan's parents to swim and eat in the evening! Kailyn and Will in their Fourth of July shirts that I made out of the Family Fun Magazine!

Street Performers!

Last Thursday night, the kids and I headed downtown to check out the street performer series held every week. What we found was a ton of fun and lots of things to do, see and hear. We began the night by getting a pizza and having a picnic at Hope and then we went to see what we could find. We started off watching a magic show, but the kids grew bored with it quickly so we headed across the street. There we found a belly dancer who had not acquired a large crowd yet. She danced a bit and then asked Kailyn if she wanted to try! Off course Kailyn wanted to dance! So she put a scarf with trinkets on it around Kailyn's waist so she made noise when she shook her booty:) What a riot!!! The crowd really grew after that and everyone enjoyed watching them both.Kailyn shaking her booty!Here the kids are watching some middle-schoolers play violins and keyboard.After some walking around we found the balloon artist and the kids got excited. Kailyn decided to get a flower bracelet and Will wanted a hat! How adorable! We got lots of comments about the hat as we walked through the rest of the performers:)Overall we had a great first-time experience and will definitely go back later this summer!

Presenting....Mr. and Mrs. Geurink!!!!!

The kids with Uncle Chad and Aunt Libby!!! They look so adorable - the bride and groom look great too!!
Daddy putting on her life jacket before going out onto the dock to board the boat that was going to take us to the reception:) What a fun experience and Kailyn's first ever boat ride:)
All Kailyn did on the boat was eat!! No wonder she didn't touch her dinner:)Chad and Libby had Coldstone Ice Cream brought in for all the guests:)
I think this post speaks for itself!! That and I put the pics so close together that I couldn't type anything between them:) We had a great time and were honored to be part of this day in Chad and Libby's life! Kailyn was awesome and adored Libby's dress and all the bridesmaids. She also loved the dance floor and was on it most of the night!!! Everyone enjoyed watching our little princess boogie!!!!! Kailyn, we are so proud of you and we know that Uncle Chad and Aunt Libby are too!!!

Practice makes perfect:)

On Friday night we headed to the chapel for rehearsal. Kailyn was so excited to be Auntie Libby's flower girl!!! Before we left the house, Ryan and I practiced with Kailyn down the hallway, with the practice petals and basket from Chad and Libby. Ryan even demonstrated how to be a great flower girl. Well, needless to say, she caught on fast and did great at rehearsal!

Kailyn's new best friend, Mason. She believed that they were getting married too!!!!
She used up all the petals in her basket before she even got down to the front:)

The happy couple, ready to go!!

Ballet class 1!

Kailyn had her first ballet class on Wednesday afternoon. She was so excited when she woke up from her nap and I told her that she got to go be a ballerina:) We even got there before her teacher!!! However, that gave her time to warm up to the new environment and see where she was going to be dancing.

Stretching with her classmates! They are doing the butterfly stretch here, which is what they focused on this week. They read a butterfly book, did a butterfly dance, got to take home a picture of a butterfly to color and got a butterfly stamp, which Kailyn had her teacher put on her foot!

Waiting for her turn to tumble!
Kailyn wants to go back today to dance class and was disappointed that she doesn't get to go back until next Wednesday:)
