Spring/Summer 2012 at a glance!

 I cannot believe Wyatt finished his first year of preschool already!  We are sure going to miss our Orange Class teachers but are excited to have most all of the same buddies in Blue Class again in the Fall.

 Just doing what little boys do....examining a bug with their microscopic lenses.

 Daddy caught one!

 Many trips to the playground

 Our first organic backyard blend

 Micah wasn't so sure of the water initially...

Isaac is like a fish in the water.  He loooooves it and has absolutely NO fear!

 Micah grew to LOVE it too! 

My Wy Guy ready for the outback

 I'm absolutely in love with this boy's sense of 'style'

Honk!  Let me pinch your nose Wyatt and then maybe you'll give me the garden hose 

 Nope, big brothers win out most of the time

 Summertime=so many baths!

 After a hard days work...

Now this is what summertime with little boys is made of.  These truly are the very BEST days!

Micah Jay, 16 Months

We spent the evening at the Farmstead, one of our most favorite summertime hangouts!  I think we made a visit to see the longhorn, buffalo and bobcat, but otherwise just played at the park and in the sand pit tonight!  Here's Micah chillin' on a bench enjoying some animal crackers (snack time is always Micah's fav time of the day)....

 Oh, and I absolutely adore this sweet little conversation that Joe captured between Micah and me!  He is really a momma's boy right now and I'm savoring every second of it! :)

 Our 16-month-old is getting so big and very independent!

Fun Facts About our 16-Month-Old:

MICAH...............

• loves chocolate ("choco"), candy, popcorn ("opcorn"), and his vitamins (he reminds first things each morning!)
• is now drinking out of a real cup
• is a major momma's boy right now! ;)
   

Mimi's Birthday-Live Theater in the Park!

Here are the boys with their Mimi.  They now call her Mim, as if Mimi isn't short enough!  We are so thankful to have such a special lady in our lives.  My mom might be the kindest, most generous, creative, servant-hearted woman I know.  I'm blessed to call her mom and my boys are equally blessed to call her Mimi.  There's always time for a photo op wherever we are..... 



 

So the kiddos played and wrestled, we took pictures and watched a wee little bit of live theater in the park while eating cupcakes and celebrating with Mimi.  It was a very good day!

Brady Bunch!

3 Crile Girls + 3 McCulley Boys = one very FUN weekend!

 Our sweet friends, the Criles, came from IA for a second annual KC visit!  They made a stop at the American Girl KC store and spent the rest of the weekend with us.  It was almost too HOT to do anything outside so we spent most of the weekend in the house together.  My boys were in heaven....  they each had a playmate.  It was really cute how they all paired off very naturally!  We went to the pool and played some putt putt and just enjoyed being together.  What FUN memories! :)
