Bailee you genius

So this week has been another amazingly exciting one for us, filled with trips to the park followed by nap time, then dinner and bed. the kids get so excited when they get to see Ryan at night now. he is gone so long in the day that they really start to miss him. Tyson is so funny he has been really into sword fighting lately. he only likes to use that soft plastic one because it's not to loud when it hits, I guess the other ones hurt his ears. it was sad Ryan accidentally racked him in the chin with his hard sward, and Tyson could only get even with his little wimpy sword.


So lately Bailee has been really into making shopping lists, it funny she'll ask me what we need and then I'll help her sound out the word while she writes it down. well I was so proud of her, she was in her room having quiet time and, she came out with her little grocery list and said "mom I think we need some popcorn" and handed me the list. I couldn't believe she had spelled it on her own. she obviously doesn't take after her mom (I had to ask Ryan how to spell genius just to title this page) I think she may have seen it spelled on one of her kitchen toys, but I like to think she did it on her own. she is so excited to start preschool out here. she won't start until the 17th which is on her birthday, she's pretty excited to get to go on her birthday, everyday she comes up with ideas of birthday treats we can take for school.
Tyson will actually be starting preschool with her, they will be in the same class, but I think they split them up into groups. I hope he does ok. I think we will try it out and if it's too much for him I'll take him out. he's so excited we just got him a new spider man back pack. he loved it he walked all around target with it on his back, and kept asking me and Ryan if he was big now. it was cute.
I have to say I feel so complimented from my last blog. I think I should whine about my weight more often. I promise I wasn't compliment fishing, I was just venting about people and their comments they like to make. but thank you for the nice input back.
I want to try and get the kids on tape doing their little dance number they have been doing lately so I can post it for you. they are so cute, they go and find new dress-up's and dance their little hearts out.
well I guess that's all for now. I'll try to get their dancing soon. we love and miss you all. love Ryan, Katie, Bailee, and Tyson.
