Father's Day weekend was a great weekend of just our little family. Friday I made egg salad for Josh, Saturday I made dinner-ribs, sauerkraut, potatoes, and asparagus, on Sunday I made cocoa wheats for breakfast then we went out for Chinese that evening. Kenton got his daddy an awesome GPS watch and a thermos which came in handy Monday morning.
Monday we got up super early for Josh to head to DC and Kenton and I to come to WV. On Monday I ran some errands and we hung out with my Dad. Tuesday we went to Bridgeport to visit Papaw and Uncle Nick. Wednesday we hung out with my parents and sister and Ava! We went to the riverwalk and swimming in the big pool. Both the kids loved it. Thursday Kenton and I went to Wheeling with Amy and Grayson to visit Laura. We had a good time having lunch at the olive garden and looking at the animals at Cabela's. However, I think Kenton's favorite part was getting ice cream at Coldstone. Friday we went to the game farm and I had lunch with some friends at the Hillbilly Grill, good food and great company.
Tomorrow we head back to Grundy and we are both excited to see Daddy! A few days at home then it's back to WV. It's gonna be a busy traveling summer!

Last day of work and a tumble
Yesterday was my last day of work this school year! That means all IEPs are finished, all grades are averaged and recorded on transcripts, my classroom is mostly clean, and now I can enjoy my summer with Kenton. Josh just has a week left then its family time. I love that we both have summers off!
It was a cool evening so we went outside to play and Kenton's favorite place to go is the steps on the porch, of course. He climbed up and down, up and down, up and down, and eventually he feel and hit his chin on the stair. His mouth bled, his chin has a big scrap. I feel so bad but it makes me realize how many tumbles he will have over the next few years. We can do everything in our power to keep him safe but there is no way we can prevent all injuries. Luckily he is pretty tough and seems to be fine today with the exception of being grumpy because he didnt sleep last night!
Happy Summer!

My Birthday and Kenton's first steps!
Saturday was my birthday and we celebrated with a yummy dinner of shrimp and my husband made a tres leches cake, YUM!! Josh got me a hat to wear when we are out in the sun. He even thought to get me a white one so it will match everything. Kenton's birthday present to me was his first steps! We have been trying to get him to walk for awhile now and everyone thought he would be walking earlier because he could stand on his own for so long. I guess it turned out that he just wanted to save those first steps for my birthday!

Birthday Celebration...just a little late
Once again I am posting something about a week later than I wanted. For some reason I just can't find time to blog. However summer is a comin'! Then I should have more time to blog and hopefully sew. My wonderful father-in-law helped me thread my machine so maybe now I will be able to see some things.
Anyway what I was going to write about is Kenton's 1st birthday party! On Friday we welcomed family throughout the evening. The real party started Saturday! We had a quick breakfast, did last minute decorating, and even applied Suess like nail decorations. We had lunch followed by cupcakes and cake. Kenton was less than impressed with his oversized cupcake. He played in it a little bit didn't seem to like being sticky. Once we cleaned him up he had a lot of interest in our cake so he sat with Josh and I and had some cake. Next he opened presents, more like I opened presents. Kenton took the tissue paper out of some of the bags but I had to open most of them. He got a wagon, a chair, toys galore, books, and clothes. He is a very loved little boy. Make sure you check out the party pics on my Facebook.
On Sunday we enjoyed playing with his new toys! He and Ava had the best time being pulled around in his wagon kenton liked it so much he even took a nap in it. They played in his little pool for a while too. They are sooo cute together. It was a great weekend that we hated to see end.
