Jam Packed June

What a fun filled month June was! When I was thinking back on last month, I thought we kept it pretty low key. But when I looked at all the photos (read fun) we had, I was happily mistaken. 

We started the month with lots of Katie cuddles, which shouldn't surprise anyone. 

I know I've said it before, but Brady and Ashley are totally smitten with Katie. They both ask where she is at as soon as they wake up, and Brady will get right up in her face and exclaim, "Hiiiiiii Katie". 

Brayden often asks to hold her by putting a pillow on his lap, pointing to it, and saying "Katie", which then causes Ashley to want a turn to hold her as well.

Ashley prefers to help out in every way she can, getting diapers, holding bottles, putting new bottles in the fridge and used bottles in the sink. She really is such a big help.

We spent lots of time outside last month. Some favorites were chalk drawing and wiggle car riding.

On Father's Day weekend, we spent Saturday afternoon at Dan and Theresa's house where Brayden and Ashley had lots of fun with their cousins in the bounce house and little pool. 

Early that next week we went to my mom and dad's to celebrate with my dad. The kids enjoyed being pushed on some little bikes.

Fair week we ventured to the livestock barns to check out all the animals. Ashley proudly exclaimed, "I like cows" multiple times that day. We also found out that they like corn dogs and lemon shake-ups. I think they drank more of our drinks than Eric and I did. 

My mom and dad's pool had been calling my name, and we enjoyed some time swimming in it. Ashley is turning out to be a little fish. Brayden has been showing some resistance in wanting to get into the pool, but once we can finally coax him in, he always has a blast. His favorite thing is to use the pool noodle on the water jet to spray water everywhere. 

The month ended with a trip to Aikman Wildlife Adventure with my dad. Brayden and Ashley loved walking around and looking at all the animals, and their favorite thing was feeding the deer, cows, goats, and sheep. I think my dad enjoyed the trip about as much as the twins did. 

And finally, a little update on the house. We (finally) have siding completed and at the end of the month they poured our back patio! It won't be long until we can actually live in there.

July is already shaping up to be just as fun and exciting as June, so stay tuned!
