What have we been up to?

What have we been up to! Well a lot? Brielle finished Kindergarten the end of May and is so excited for 1st grade. She asks me at least twice a day, "When do I get to go to school and eat and eat in the lunch room?" She had a program about a week before she got out. They sang all sorts of songs and had an award ceremony. Brielle's last report card was straight A's and she scored very high in her reading. She can practically read everything all by herself. We are very proud at how well she did this year and can't wait to see what next year brings. Now we are just enjoying not having to get her up early and get her in bed early either. It's so nice not having to worry where you are at 8:30 because it's bedtime. So she is enjoying summer vacation, she just wishes the weather was better! Carter is doing amazing with his speech. He is saying so many new things each day! I can't wait to take him to his check up and show them how amazing he is. We are working on potty training, but today is not a good day so let's not talk about it. I wasn't going to post this but since I accidentally erased my first post I had time to think and since I want to embarrass him when he's older here's what happened. He took his diaper off and pooped on the bottom of his sippy, and them he brought it to me. I was mad and glad all at the same time. I was mad because, that is soooooo gross. I just threw that sippy way. And mad because it wasn't in the potty. But on the other hand I was glad that he didn't just poop on the carpet and leave it for Kelsie to find. AND that takes talent to poop directly on the center of a sippy. I couldn't do it! Wish me luck on this adventure. So besides all that drama he is enjoying going outside playing and discovering all the dirt and bugs. He really likes to ride to 4-wheeler and motorcycle. Like father like son!!! Kelsie is growing so fast I can't believe it. She will be one in less than 2 weeks. Her two bottom teeth Finally broke through the day before Mother's Day. What a great gift for me!! Now her two top teeth broke through last week. So pretty soon she'll have those hippo teeth. She has been walking along the furniture since March , but she still isn't walking by herself. When you hold her hands she practically takes off running. I'm sure if her bully of a brother will stop pushing her down she will be running soon! He hair is growing fast too! She has an alfalfa pony on the top and a mullet in the back. It won't be long before she'll have devil horns. She started saying mom, dad, bye, and yes. She is very smart, so Carter and Brielle better watch out. She recently started patting us on the back when we pick her up, and hug, snuggle, or console her. Isn't that funny how they catch on to that kinda stuff so young. Well that's a quick update check back soon for some pictures and more updates!
