Follow the Leader

How is it Thursday already? I have no idea. The days are getting away from me. 

Sooo, I think Ailee's most favorite person is Calum. She follows him everywhere and watches him all the time. Even when we are driving she is always just staring at Calum, probably just seeing what crazy thing he'll do next!

Calum gets a little bothered sometimes that she's getting him or his toys or what not, but he's usually a pretty good sport. Ailee however is an even better sport, because pretty sure Calum picks on her way more often.

Not even phased

Trying to be just like brother :) She loved these so much. Haha.

Already scoping out hiding places for hide and seek. (This is her favorite place lately)

Learning to be a good climber like brother.

Making messes like brother.

Likes books like her brother.

And even had to go and get sick like her brother.

Remember Calum was sick, well a few days later Ailee got the same thing. Darn it. But at least it was a quick bug so we still got to get out and do some fun things.

We played in the water at Belleview Park and rode the train a couple times :)

Kevin and me floated the river by our house. Some ominous clouds rolled in right as we were about to go so we didn't float as far as we were initially planning, that and my tube had three leaks that Kevin and me had to hold as we floated! But it was really fun, and even had a couple good rapids. I didn't even know you could float that until we went with the youth in the ward a few weeks ago. We will for sure have to go again, once we have fixed the leaks in my tube!

Kevin and his crew were busy for the last week of the temple shut down.

Me and the kids went to Chik-fil-a two days in a row! Haha. The first day we met a friend. Then Friday was Cow Appreciation Day and if you dressed up like a cow you got a free meal!!! So of course we had to go.

Ailee was a little scared of the cow mascots.

It also happened to be 7-11 day so we swung by and got some free slurpees too :) Heck of a day.

On Saturday we stopped by a Jeep show. I'm not really sure what it was but Kevin wanted to go check it out. Calum of course loved it.

Then we stopped by the candy factory, missed the tour by 15 minutes, so that was a bummer. But we did purchase some scrumptious candy. Calum's candy of choice was a gummy hot dog. Haha. What a nut.

The night was still young so we decided to stop by Bear Creek Park and let Calum burn some energy.  Lately this kid has been a nut. I mean he's always been a nut but he is extra wild and sassy these days.   (Maybe it's the soda he sneaks) Especially if we stay home all day. He constantly talks back and won't obey or listen at all!!!! It is so frustrating. But if I take him out he burns some energy he is seriously so great. It's wild. So I've been trying to get out a lot with him lately, for both our sakes.

Sliding down the Cowboy's hat. It's really speedy. I love this series of pictures so much!

These two are caaute!

Kevin was a little excited that Germany won the World Cup :) Calum wants to play soccer now.

Ailee is 11 months now! She has two teeth, jabbers and has an ear piercing squeal that she likes to show off from time to time. She also really likes to play wind instruments. #childprodigy

We got our teeth cleaned.

And played at the splash pad. Also with ominous clouds above, but they didn't bother Calum, he kept running in the water then coming and getting warm in the towel, then running back in the water and so on and so on. He was making me laugh watching him.

Of course I sewed some stuff. This dress and these leggings. What else is there to do when you are homebound with sick babies?

Calum has gotten pretty good at building stuff.

He named this guy Concrete.

and I had some serious deja vu. Hahaha.

So there ya go. Hopefully Ailee will start to rub off on Calum a little too and he will sit peacefully watching the rain... 

Doubt it though. Twice this week he stripped down to his birthday suit to go play in the water feature in out friends back yards. This was the aftermath, tuckered out with no dry shirt. Thats how summer should be right?
