Hair twisties!

Go SDSU! My mom put string in my hair for fun.
Here's my brother walking!
He's getting so good at walking.

So my mom found this Conair hair spinner thing that you feed string and your hair through the spinner and it spins the string around your hair. She bought it years ago and thought she'd try it in my hair.

My brother is walking! Mom took some photos of him in action. He's getting really good at it all of a sudden. I am so proud of my buddy!

Catching up...

Well, this is Mom. Just wanted to write a quick entry. My baby Miles is growing so fast! He is now walking! Took his first steps on Sat. Aug. 8th for us. He did about 10-12 steps. Then for a few days did only three or four steps at a time. He preferred just crawling because he got to where he needed to get to faster. But lately he'll get up on his feet take some steps, fall and get right back up again to keep walking. Slow and steady wins the race! About a month ago he actually climbed the stairs for the first time. It was a Monday night and I forced him to go up the stairs. He was mad at me for the first step but once I taught him what to do he climbed the rest of the stairs on his own and man did he go FAST! He is definitely a quick learner. That following Saturday I figured I would try to teach him to go down the stairs. He picked that up in ONE day. One day! I couldn't believe it. And even tonight he was following Sophia to the basement. Sophia was so cute because she said, "You've gotta turn around buddy!" :)

Sophia is doing good. She is definitely strong-willed, and at times very hard headed. You think you would be able to reason with a three year old. Nope. Not her. She is catching on to my tricks (or shall I call them bribes). She is a big help though, when she wants to be!

I will post a few recent photos. We were in Iowa last weekend. We brought Ashley back after she stayed with us and helped out with the kids. She was AWESOME. Helped out so much with the kids and even did some babysitting for us. It was kinda like having a nanny for a week. Thanks again Ashley! Can't wait until next summer.

A Sunday afternoon...

The boys, deep in thought.
There I go, runnin’ as fast as I can.
Family photo! This was taken by the Mississippi River in St. Cloud.

I love to swing and Miles likes to push.
Miles decided to swing too.
My brother loves to splash water!
Me and Daddy.

We all went to the Munsinger Gardens in St. Cloud. It was beautiful. The gardens are amazing and it was a really beautiful day. We all had a lot of fun. We took photos, so we thought we'd throw them on here. Enjoy!
