So here I am finally finding time to blog. I am hoping to update you on everything in the weeks to come, so bear with me and we will see if that happens.
So a little update starting with Kyle, he has been busy mowing lawns to raise money for his Washington DC and New York trip in March. We have had a VERY rainy summer so far, so it has been quite a challenge trying to find time between rain showers and baseball games to fit in all the lawns he needs to mow, but he has done it and we are very proud of him for working so hard. As I mentioned he is also playing baseball. His team is having an awesome year….I am really hopeful that they will make it to the championships at the end of the season, but we will see.
Allicia has had a busy summer as well. Dave’s Mom Nancy, retired at the beginning of June, so now the kids are home with Dave’s Parents during the day. With that said Allicia has spent much of her summer helping Nancy and John run around and take after Ava. She has been such a big helper. Some days she has given them a run for her money with her red headed temper (not sure where she gets that from), but for the most part, she has been a big helper.
As for summer activities, Allicia finished up Soccer at the beginning of June and then started her first season of baseball. She is on a team with mostly boys, but she doesn’t seem to care. For her first year she is doing an awesome job, I’m not sure she likes the sport as much as her brother, but at least she is giving it a try and having fun. Next year, I hope to put her on a girls’ softball team if she is interested. I didn’t know that they had a league this year or that is what I would have signed her up for.
On to Ava…she loves spending her days with her Grandma and Grandpa and Kyle and Allicia. They play outside most of the day and she does not stop. Many days she will not even take a break for a nap. She is too worried that she will miss out on something fun they are all doing. She goes and goes all day long and since we spend Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday night’s at a ball field, most nights she is running non-stop as well. She just loves watching her Dad and Kyle and Allicia play ball. She cheers for them yelling their names non-stop and when I say non-stop that is what I mean. She says their names over and over and over. The rest of the crowd probably gets sick of her yelling. It is kind-of funny! So other than running and playing outside she hasn’t done much. She is definitely growing up and getting to be such a little girl. She talks like crazy and copies everything you say….so far we haven’t taught her any naughty words, but I am sure that day is coming. Her favorites right now are puppies, bubbles, the moon, Kyle, Grandma and Grandpa, the silky edge of her blanky, her passy, and snuggling (laying on top of and kicking) Mom at night.
As I mentioned, Ava just adores her big brother (and sister). The other night, Ava was sleeping in our bed, Dave went to move her into her bed and just as he was tucking her into bed she started smacking her lips and in her sleep said, “Ah, Kyyyooo. “ Dave said it was the cutest thing ever…..since then she has done it a few more times. I guess we know she dreams about her big brother in her sleep. Kyle of course loves it that she adores him so much.
So I guess that is the latest information on the kids, as for Dave and I. Dave’s been busy with softball Tuesday and Friday’s. Other than that it has been the normal day to day of working and running after kids…which we wouldn’t want it to be any other way.
