Rainy June Pic Update

It has been the rainiest June to date here in New Jersey. This mama is running out of ideas on how to keep little active boys busy on rainy days. So, the first few days of July have been a blessing! Sunny, hot and humid. Finally, feels like summer! Although it has been a slow start to the summer, it has been nice to just relax and not have an agenda. My kids are definitely happier just being home and going with the flow. We try to take advantage of the sunny days we have and make the best of the rainy ones. Hopefully, the sun is here to stay!!

On another note, the boys are continuing to grow like weeds. Quick boy update, so I don't forget these precious little moments.

Jake
     Jake.. you are very excited about kindergarten next year. I can see that you needs to be stimulated more and more the older you get. Your mind is just non-stop. It amazes me. You really love to learn and are the most content when playing board games, doing "homework", or active outside. You don't do well with too much TV or Wii. It seems to bring out a very grumpy, discontent little boy. Jake you are super into learning letters and making and reading words recently. Noticing signs and listening to mommy and daddy spell things... then smarty pants tells us what we just said! You are sometimes a little too rough with your brothers and we are constantly working on self control. However, there are more and more moments where I see your true love for your brothers and my heart just melts. You continue to be hysterical! Making Daddy and I laugh every day. You love playing golf with Daddy and played your first nine holes recently with Daddy and Uncle Mike. Your also my weather buddy, we both love checking the weather first thing in the morning. You love using the word awkward. You rarely use it correctly, so it cracks us up! Sweetest thing about my Jakers right now... You are my water baby! We could stay in the pool all day together... I also love how you prefer Mommy to put him to bed because you like my back scratches! I love your friendly, out-going personality and creative mind, constantly coming up with games and amazing ideas! Love you biggest!

Will
     Willy Nilly. You seem to gain more personality day by day. You just love being a ham bone. Your favorite thing is to laugh and make others laugh. If we are out to dinner, YOU are my biggest worry. Not because of your manners because you have the best manners! But, because you are SO loud. I am amazed that people always think you are the quiet one in public, because at home or anywhere you are comfortable you are a roaring lion. Your laugh and smile are completely contagious. You have gained a bit of a lazy side, that although drives me nuts... also makes me laugh. I'll say," Will bring your clothes to the hamper please." And you'll respond," Eh, baby do it." Meaning... Kev should do it. Where do you get this stuff? You have gained a love for the water this summer and now jump off the diving board. You are also a," big boy," now. We are using the potty occasionally and thinking about moving you to your big boy bed. You continue to be a little shy in new environments, but warm up quickly. You love dancing, super hero's (your favorite is joker?) , Wii, swimming, the beach and anything involving your brothers. You have the most generous heart and are always willing to share. You make a really cute mean face. Your a phone guy... you like calling people and would stay on the phone all day. Most of the time people don't know what your saying, but you don't seem to care. You also love baths, especially with food coloring in them. Your favorite is blue! I am trying desperately to get you to learn your colors. You can match them, but have a hard time identifying them. Knowing you, you probably really know them and you're just pulling my chain. You see a chiropractor once a week now and are the best patient! it has completely cured your constipation! YAY for Will! Favorite Will thing right now... How you play with Kevin. You are so sweet and gentle with him. Your sense of humor is endless and never ceases to amaze. Lastly, you are my little snuggle buddy. You always love being held, rocked and sung too. Even at two and half, you would let me rock you to sleep. Love you Willy Nilly!

Kevin
   You have become quite the spunky little one. Two years old is quickly approaching and it shows in your behavior. All of a sudden out right refusing to sit in your high chair. After about a two week stand down... meaning I would not let you eat until you sat in it.. three meals a day.. lots of tantrums... your back to sitting in it. Phew! You love running and being chased. You come up to us and make the cutest tickle sound and try tickling us. I love that. You don't say yes. Instead you make a cute affirmation sound instead. It's adorable. Your hair has turned blond and I think you look an awful lot like Uncle Mike now. You say, "thank you Mommy," for everything. You are very good in the car and love car trips! You could play cars all day. You are an eater. You eat everything, and you eat it ALL! I am afraid to see you as a teenager. You love to play super heros with your brothers and try so hard to keep up! You are totally obsessed with puppies. You sleep with two stuffed puppies, screech when they walk by or are on TV and call every animal you see a puppy. You also call cars and trucks, "truckie." You love your brothers very much, but don't take anything! You are a little toughy when you need to be. Favorite Kevy moments... when you snuggle. How you LOVE Your Daddy so much. Your stubbornness, because even when your mad you are so stinkin' cute. Your littleness. You may be my last baby (Only God knows) so I am savoring these little moments with you every day.
