Stetson man



My boy Stetson. What can I say, we love you like crazy. Stetson has been asking me every day this summer if its August yet, becasue thats when I told him preschool started. We just found out it doesn't start 'til Sep actually, so now he asks if its September yet. He truly loved his days at the CRC and will love the new adventures waiting for him this year. I've heard the greatest things about his teachers.



Stetson has taken up an interest in painting. I bought the kids some paints at Hobby Lobby and he loves it. He's very deliberate in his color choices and schemes, and always holds up his pictures when he's done and says, "Look mom, do you love it?!" And yes, I do. The picture was taken last Wed when we had a little horrah with the Asay bunch. We've been wanting to bbq more but got busy with new baby and all. We finally did and it was nice. We filled up the little pool not knowing for sure if anyone would be too excited with it, but the boys (and Kandace) had a BLAST. Travis was a crazy man with the hose and was fun to watch.



Stetson and Kandace are starting to play pretty well together on a more consistent basis, and its been heaven. It makes me glad we had them so close together.

Stetson had has loved having friends/cousins over to play but still has some room to grow as far as his interactions with others. I'm excited to see how he does with the kids at CRC this year.

Tomatoes!







Kandace is making sure we all get our 3-5 servings of veggies every day by brining us cherry tomatoes from the garden. Whenever we go outisde, either to swim or do sidewalk chalk, she eventually disappears to the garden to pick tomaotes. We're out of rasberries so her produce of choice has switched to tomatoes. I'll go out there in the morning and pick what I thought was all the cherry tomatoes, and she'll come running back with about 10 more. LOVE this girl and her love of fruits/veggies.

beautiful girl

































Dear Kandace,

I love your kisses, your sassy attitude, your crazy "interpretive" dances, your soft hair that I love to run my fingers through, I love that you were born to me 2 years ago and that I got the chance to be a mother to a daughter and have a mother/daugther relationship I've always longed for. I loved capturing moments of you tonight, because they go too fast and in the blink of an eye you change.

I love you and think you are beautiful.

MOM
