Saturday was Uncle Gav's birthday. He did a party out at the flats and it was super fun! A friend of he and Tim's brought out 4 4-wheelers and then Gav brought Brett and Teri's as well. We roasted hot dogs, made s'mores and had a great time! Kylan and Emmit (especially Emmit) were in heaven with all the 4-wheeler rides they were able to go on! The kids also brought their bikes and road around!
Today (Sunday) there was a solar eclipse. It was really cool! It was weird looking outside because the sun wasn't very bright! I remembered from elementary school that if you poked a hole in a piece of paper you could watch the eclipse through it in shadow form. If you look closely you can see it. There was only a small ring of the sun visible!
It also made ring circle shadows on our house and shed through our trees!
You can see them on the grass as well!
And here is Mya in her cute hawaii dress from Grandpa and Grandma and Emmit in his "bball" (baseball shoes) which are Ky's but he loves to wear around all day! This kids went from LOATHING shoes to LOVING them! He is may only child that doesn't remove his shoes all the time, and only wants them off to put on someone elses (usually a pair of Ky's, he can even walk well in Ky's flip flops that don't have a strap in the back). He also loves to get Tim and my shoes for us and knows which shoes to get for each occasion! He might be a mini Kort!!!
And one more of Emmit because he wanted me to take another "cheese" of him! Mya told me she was done with pictures though and walked away! I haven't recorded what Emmit is doing in awhile so I will now! He is a little over 21 months old and he:
*Is talking up a storm. He says new words and phrases everyday! His favorite are "I help" "Where's . . . " (usually grandpa, dad, Uncle Bill or Uncle Kyle, he loves his grandpa's and uncles) and anything Mya and Kylan say, the other day they taught him "not fair".
*He loves to sing. He sings "Rio, Rio" from the movie all day long! He also sings "Rumor has it" and "clean up"
* He can pick what he wants to eat! May not sound like much but is so helpful in the mornings! Rather than have to fix more than one breakfast for him, I can now show his his options and he can pick!
*LOVES to play tractors and is always chopping if he is in the house or filling his dump truck with his loader outside and then dumping it complete with sound effects
*LOVES (loves isn't even a strong enough word) 4-wheeler rides. And he loves to go fast and up and down hills (as we found out at the flats)
*Likes to watch Ky play t ball and practices hitting off the t all the time at home.
*Still goes down for his nap without any problem and goes down really easily at night finally!
*Loves his cousin Logan. These two have started playing together and it is so nice!
* Along with all of these cute things has started throwing temper tantrums, but only at home and usually putting him in his crib and letting him calm down takes care of them!
*Still not interested at all in staying in nursery by himself and I don't think things will be changing anytime soon. He has great leaders in there, he is just still too attached to us, so until further notice Tim and I each spend an hour in nursery every sunday. Oh joy!
