love!

I have not blogged in so long that I thought I should blog and share what we have been up to.

 We had such a fun 4th of July. The 4th is my favorite holiday by far! We have such a fun family tradition and I love having my own kids to start the tradition with. (love how Hadley is holding onto his shirt!)

 We went and enjoyed some fireworks. Kohen kept saying WOW after each one. Hadley enjoyed them for a couple minutes and then was just way too tired to stay up any longe

 Kohen and Hadley have gotten so close. Kohen wants Hadley to do everything he does. He wants her to sit on every chair, swing, bike that he is on. He wants to show her every toy he has and enjoys kissing her so so often. Hadley loves it! She will laugh at Kohen just walking past her. She is always trying to grab his feet when he is by her and loves when she can get his face. They have recently started to share a room and they love it. Kohen will wake up and you can just hear him saying "Hadley, Hadley" and her just talking away. I love how much they love each other. 

 We had my sister take some family pictures for us since we have not taken any since Hadley came into the family. We do not have luck with family pictures. Last year during the pictures Kohen pooped all over me and this year Hadley pooped on Kellen! ha! Our kids know how to get out of pictures already. 

 seriously though? this pic just makes me cry. I am sooo lucky to be the mommy of these two. 

 I am going to do a little bragging. 

Kohen is 19 months and is seriously so smart. It amazes me how much he knows. He says well over 80 words and is so polite. He will say please when wanting something and will almost always say thank you even without being asked. He is a wild boy! always running everywhere he goes. He still eats so good. He is not picky at all. He loves to fold his arms for prayer and clap at the end. He is my little farmer. He loves all farm animals and plays with his barn and animals almost daily. His favorite animal is a chicken (grandpa randy has chickens). He loves rocking on any chair he sits on. everything rocks to him. He LOVES to read. He will sit and read books with me or alone for a long time (for a one year old boy).. Kohen is such a sensitive boy. He always knows when I am sad or not feeling my best and will cuddle with me or just need me and only me all that day. He loves to swing, it is something we do daily.  

Hadley is 6 months and is so close to sitting up alone and has started to scoot around on her belly and back. another robbins crawler. She has decided she does not like rice cereal and makes the funniest faces when trying to feed her. She loves her bottles and wants to hold them all by herself. She also loves to put her fingers in her mouth while she is drinking her bottle. She is a super easy going baby. She loves all toys and books. Always needs one in hand. She loves to talk and is sooo noisy.
