Today, Colton & Kyler spent the day at Grandma's house since we had new windows installed. (Pics coming soon!) At Grandma's house, they ALWAYS seem to have several blogworthy photo ops...today was no exception.

Kyler really wants to be like her big brother. Here she is in his K-State shirt. Yes, she has her own K-State apparel, but apparently likes Colton's better! :)


Aunt Melissa painted Kyler's toenails...


And SOMEBODY...painted Colton's. But, as soon as they were done, he decided it needed to come off. Whew! Not sure what Dad will think of that one!

This week...

we fingerpainted...




cleaned up after fingerpainting....


we played in the sprinkler...


Colton & Derek 'went to work'






Colton & Kyler watch Saturday morning cartoons

Summer Fun

Let the summer fun begin! We are so excited it's finally warming up so we can spend some time outside. We've been outside every night this week and LOVE IT!

Hot tubbing at Grandma & Grandpa's...in our UNDERWEAR! That's right...for two straight weeks Colton has been in his underwear with only one day that he had accidents!!! SO proud of him!


The kid who hates water in his face in the bathtub LOVED it when Grandpa splashed him!


Grandpa has a new pet project and Colton 'helps'


Meet George


Pickles are for hamburgers, relish trays, and MORNING SNACKS? Only at Grandma's!


All of this, while Kyler watches from the sidelines with Grandma...someday little girl...

Twins...

Cousins actually...but hopefully this is as close as we ever get to having twins in our house! Today Jace came over to spend the afternoon with us while Jed & Angela went boating. Are we crazy? Probably, but we already knew that! Truthfully, it was not that bad, but if Derek wouldn't have been here, I'm not sure it would have been so easy...

Kyler & Jace napping


Hangin' out after naps


Colton even sat still so I could take a picture of all three of them!


His infamous "cheese"

Emails...

My kids are geniuses. Yes, I'm aware that every parent probably thinks this about their child, but this is true in our case... Both of my children started emailing and texting me at work at a very young age. I'm not kidding! Oddly enough, they always seem to do this from Grandma & Grandpa Boos' house.

For example, Kyler sent me this one last week with a message "Dear Mom, Can I please have both socks tomorrow?"


Colton showing off his muscles


This one came with a message letting me know Grandma bought her a new dress. Pretty sure Grandma couldn't wait for me to leave that morning so she could try it on her...


For some reason, Colton wanted to go shirtless for pictures...



I told you my kids are geniuses...or Grandma just thinks she's really funny! :)

Videos...

If I can figure this out, this blog is about to get a LOT more entertaining! It's no secret that we like music around our house. We like to play it loud and sing along, sometimes even dance to it...not very well, but we're at home so who cares, right? Until I decided it would be fun to put it on the blog anyway...

Colton (and Derek off to the side) "jammin" in the kitchen

Sundays...

are for relaxing and spending time with family...

Derek and the kids 'watching' cartoons


Colton demolished a dried up hot dog bun with his "hoe"...


He spent forever moving his "dirt"... That's what the vacuum cleaner is for!


Colton "helping" put clothes away


Colton's favorite game right now is to wear everyone else's shoes...the bigger the better!



Aunt Brook was here for the weekend to see the new babies. We had a great weekend with her...an adult day of shopping, out for pizza Saturday night, had Sunday lunch at Kent & Barb's, and spent the afternoon with her before she had to go back to Chicago that night. Thanks for coming to visit!

Here she is with Kyler

And the first time we've been able to get all five of the Luedke grandkids to sit somewhat still for a picture...



What a great day!
