Mason Kate loves to sit on her knees to play!
She also stood and balanced on her own today for a few seconds!!
(I am still learning how to use my camera on manual, she is a little blurry)

K-K-K-Kyndie
Kyndal and Nonie came up for the day.
We are teaching Corben how to say Kyndal's name and we were saying K-K-K-Kyndie all day long
Corben and Kyndal had fun with the blocks
Kyndal pulling Mason and Corben around in the wagon.
Love Mason's face...apparently she is loving the ride!
Just kicking back on our hammock!
Nonie took this one of Mason and she loves her hair curl.
Baby Calves
We have 4 new baby calves on the pasture by our house.
Corben loves to make "moo" ing sounds and watch the babies.
Corben and Mason watching the babies!
At first the Mama cow was mooing at us, but then we were able to get pretty close to the fence.

Break-through Swim Lesson # 4
Corben screamed the entire way to swim lesson and didn't want to do anything but kick...we talked with the Jason and the owner (who gave input the entire lesson)...and we had a BREAK -THROUGH!!!
Corben is in front of Jason going under water to get to the ledge.
Once he grabbed the ledge he had to move along the side to the step!
He did this several times today and the crying was only intermittently.
Here he goes again...
this is the funny part....
once the other instructor (girl) started sitting on the step, Corben would get to the step then stand up and kiss her shoulder and when Jason asked him to come to him...Corben replied, "no, I kiss", then he would go immediately to Jason.
We have a BIG FLIRT on our hands!!!
Next Jason had Corben stand on a step and swim out to Jason (under water)!
He was under water during his entire class!
Under water again!
Giving Jason hi-five!!
Then he had to go under water and pick up the rings!
Going really far under water to get the rings!
After class Corben ran out of the pool to get his lollipop and said "thanks" to Jason!
He then wanted to call everyone and say "mouth under water, hair wet!"
He did so good today in his swim lesson!
Photography...
I took a photography workshop from a local Photographer.
I learned how to really use our DSLR camera on the manual setting.
We took pictures of a little boy....
and then also took pictures of a family.
Check out the link to see pictures by the photographer, she is wonderful.
Here are my little models and I am constantly using my camera on manual now!!
Corben is 29 months
Mason Kate is 10 months
I love that they are in focus and the background is blurry!
Caleb and I are also looking for fun places to take pictures (like the brick wall above).
No texting while riding!
Brother Corben saying "no texting" while riding your bike Mason!
Little sister revving up the bike for a ride with brother on back!
She loves doing anything with brother!

The kids have a new hiding location...under our dining table.
Yes that is Mason too, she follows brother under the table.
Happy new hiding space.
Swim Lessons # 3
This week Caleb took both kids to Corben's swim lessons....so only a couple of pictures.
Corben did cry quite a bit, but his instructor Jason thought it was less.
Corben did stop crying while kicking on the blue fish...he really likes to kick his feet!
Jason said he was also busy watching a cute little girl in pink swim with her instructor and that kept his mind off crying.....haha!

Swim lesson # 2
Instructor Jason wanted to start with going under water again
and Corben kept saying "no, me kick"....
so Jason let him kick on the big blue fish!
While kicking Corben had to pick up different ducks and starfish toys in the pool.
He was doing everything Jason asked...but he did cry the ENTIRE time.
Next Corben picked rings up from the steps and had to go a little deeper in the water.
Then Corben had to reach for the edge of the pool and knock over the blue foam turtle.
He wasn't too thrilled with this...but did it for Jason while he continued to cry.
He wasn't too thrilled with this...but did it for Jason while he continued to cry.
Mason and I sat around the corner and only peeked at Corben during his swim lesson.
Jason said it might take until the fourth lesson until he calms down...fingers crossed!
