Gardens

Thank you Thanksgiving point for doing $2 Tuesdays in August. It made for a cheap night out with the kids.

We went to the Children's garden and let the kids play.

Their favorite parts were the Noah's Ark and the maze. They kept asking to go back into the maze and play around.
This was a first time for all of us going to the gardens. I wasn't sure if the kids would even really like it, but they sure did. They also loved looking in the pond trying to see all the huge Koi that are in there.

I think that we are quite lucky to live in a place where there is fun things to do that is inexpensive and it is close by.

Addalyn's milestones


So, just because Addalyn is my 4th doesn't mean that her milestones aren't just as important as deKyn's were. Here are a few of the things I have thought about writing down:
First belly laugh: July 28th, 2011
Sit up by herself (at least for a minute or two before she falls forward): August 15th, 2011
First real food: August 22nd, 2011 (it was a biter bisqit, and sweet potatoes).
First time sleeping through the night: Has yet to happen.
First tooth: Not yet but she sure is teething a whole lot. My other kids got their first teeth around 4 and a half months so that means that it will only be about another 2 weeks before these suckers break on through.
This little girly loves her Jonny Jump Up. She loves her silky blanket. She loves to bite your fingers, she loves her mommy, she loves to sit up and see what her brothers and sister are doing. She loves bath time, and she loves to stick out her tongue (just look at most of the pictures taken of her). She hates the quite, and she hates being put to sleep if she is not on her side with her silky in hand. She also really hates to be laid down, she wants to sit up and see what's going on, not lying flat on her back.
That is all for now, I will post more when I think of them.

Splash pad

We now have a splash park close to where we live. My kids really enjoy going and playing around in the water.

Fishing

Over the 24th of July weekend, we took our kids fishing. deKyn got Cory a fishing pole for his birthday and ever since then they have been wanting to go to test them out. deKyn has had a fishing pole for awhile, so we bought Taegyn a little pink one so she could join in the fun too. They of course caught nothing (it's hard to catch fish when the kids kept splashing and playing in the water), but they sure had a lot of fun. Some little ducks swam by as we were fishing and my kids got to feed them some bread. I actually think that that was probably the highlight of their day.
