A big day in our house!!!

So ... I've known that Cohen's tooth was making it's way thru for a month now ... FINALLY, I can see it! No one else can, but I think I got it on "film" so you can see what I'm talking about.

Ok - it's hard to see in the picture. It's his right side ... you can see a little line. I tried to point it out, but it's still hard to see. Just trust me - or email me for the bigger picture. Or wait a few weeks and I'll take a pic of it once it's visible when he smiles!!!

And then - we all remember Mackenna - Cameron's girlfriend from preschool. They haven't seen one another since school and she came over today. They had a BLAST! Well Mackenna brought her bike ... WITHOUT training wheels. Cameron decided that we could try his bike without training wheels tonight.

At first he wasn't confident at all - he leaned over toward me and didn't really put much effort into doing it on his own.

Next thing you know - he got a feel for it and he says "Mom, you can let go!" By the time dad got home from work, all I needed to do was give him a little push to get him started!

Next thing you know, he figured out if he started up a little bit on the driveway, he could get momentum going on the hill and start himself. CYA mom ... I don't need you anymore!

After that, he was OFF. Up and down the driveway ... up and down ... up and down!

When it was dark, we made him come in for the night. As he was pushing his bike up the driveway he says "I can't believe I can finally ride this thing" - with the most precious grin on his face EVER. It was a good day :)

He wants to be just like his brother ...

Surprisingly enough, I'm talking about Cameron - not Cohen! The other night, I put Cohen in his camo PJs and Cameron was SO excited to put his on. He instantly wanted a picture.

Later, when daddy went to tuck him in - he said he was hot. Austin asked why he didn't take off the long-sleeved shirt he was wearing??? He said he wanted to match his brother :) Let's hope he feels the same way in 5 years!

Official diagnosis ...

... drumroll please ... it's a mosquito bite on her eyelid! And of course today, it's nearly gone. Oh well, what's another $20 co-pay? :)

That's a wrap ...

Our first t-ball season is over ... Cameron LOVED playing ball.

Well, he liked playing ball ... he loved hitting, he liked watching the planes while in the outfield and kicking the dirt while in the infield and he LOVED telling people that he plays baseball :)

He also loved sliding ... it seemed to be pretty popular among the boys on his team.


He also had a little crush on the coaches daughter ...

Things that make you go HMMMMM....

What ON EARTH would make Kennedy's eye look like this?

Would it be a mosquito bite?

She woke up with three mosquito bites and this.

I don't see the BITE though ... maybe a sty?

Boys best friend ...

Cohen was really enjoying staring at Rudy and grabbing his paw ...

Once Rudy figured out what was going on - he thought he'd sneak in a quick kiss - YUCK!

Our water baby ... and our ballerina

Ok ... maybe he's not a baby anymore - but as I tell him, he'll always be MY baby.

Our big guy is doing SO great in the pool...we signed him up for lessons this week and he really took off! He advanced 2 levels in just 5 days. He can now float on his belly for 5 seconds, "streamline" ... AND on his back. This isn't half as easy as it looks ... I looked like a beached whale trying to do it at my parents house this weekend!!!

Kennedy enjoyed her first ever camp experience this week also! She went to Powell Dance Academy for - Enchanted Week! They learned ballet in true princess style. She LOVED it!

At the end of the week, the girls showed off their skills. Kennedy really enjoyed it!

She even shared some tea with her brother!
