This is the other part of the last blog. I only did the later half of june in that blog so here is may and the first part of june.
We have spent most of our days outside this spring and summer. The kids found the boogie boards which provide hours of fun. it is great. Ethan did Itty Bitty Baseball with Nate in May. He seemed to really
enjoy it unlike soccer. It is always fun to watch the kids as they are learning how to play a sport. Ethan is a little timid when he plays. (at least somewhere besides home) hopefully his competitive side will come out.
when we got home from Hawaii, there was a robin that built a nest in our front tree low enough that she will think twice about using it again with all the attention she got. We took pictures and had a lot of fun watching the process form eggs to flight. She laid 5 eggs as you can see. When they left the nest i am not so sure they were ready. Luckily none died, but we had 2 in the neighbors windowwells, and the others were hiding in bushes and things around. I do think that
they did grow enough to fly away. We were ablet o see the parents bring worms and other things to eat and dive bomb at us when we got to close to the nest. It was a fun

adventure. I dont really think the nest will be used again.

We were able to hiking this spring. We went up in Alpine, i think it was the Dry Creek trail. The river was high and fast. We had to cross it at one point and kaylee was really scared. She made sure i held her tight. It was a nice hike though. The kids like to be out in the
woods especially where they can throw rocks in the water.
We Celebrated Taylors birthday on june 8. She is 1!!!! I cant believe it. She got this zebra thing she can sit on and bounce. She likes it. She enjoyed her cake and ice cream. We just had the family over and invited robs sister

and her family over for cake. It was fun. this last picture is of my precious "nows (nose) White" as Kaylee calls her. Snow White for the rest of us. She was just so worn out. It was so cute. As of her birthday on june 23, she no longer has a binky, which means that nap time has vanished.
luckily she still goes to bed at night. Things get a little crazy with out it though. She constantly steals Taylors bink. Kaylee is my binky snatcher.
hopefully we can break her of that habit. I will find her hiding all over the place with a binky in her mouth...behind curtains, blankets, holding books up to block it, under beds...pretty much anyway she can hide it. its quite entertaining. Well thats all for now. Hopefully it wont take me as long to do the next blog and finish it.
