A Day at the Beach!

Yesterday we decided it would be a great day to go to the beach and have a picnic supper. Devin was so excited when we got there that he barreled right into the water further than he could reach and tried to drown himself. He discovered quickly it was a good thing he had his life jacket on. No surprise the incident didn't stop him at all, he loved the water but made sure to wait for mom or dad before he went out too far.

Cullen on the other hand wasn't so sure about the water or sand, he wanted nothing to do with it and spent most of the day sitting in the sand filling a bucket. He did let me take him out in the water for a little bit but he still wasn't sure about it. Hopefully next time he will like it a little better.

Devin made sure that Cullen had something to play with, that is until Devin wanted the bucket and shovel.

We had a great day at the beach and I think if next weekend is this nice again we may have to make another trip there.

Cullen's 1st Hair Cut!

Last weekend Cullen had his first haircut, he was getting very tired of the curls wrapping around his ears so I figured we better get them cut off. Plus the curls were becoming food collectors because Cullen played with them whenever he ate. I was a little sad to cut the curls off, now he looks like a toddler and not my little baby anymore :(

Amy gave Devin is 1st haircut so we thought it was only right to have her cut Cullen's hair for the 1st time as well. He didn't want to sit still at all so I think we gave Amy a challenge for the day.

All in all Cullen did a great job and now his neck is free of hair so I am sure it is much cooler for the summer, if that is possible in this heat lately.

4th of July

I was informed the other day that it has been way too long since I last updated the boy's blog, so I am taking a few minutes to update everyone on what has been going on in our lives. The boys are now 3yrs old and 13 months, I am not sure where the time went but it is going fast, before we know it Devin will be in Kindergarten. Devin and Cullen are best buds most of the time, they have there moments like any siblings do but for the most part they really like to play together and Devin is always watching out for Cullen.

For the 4th of July weekend Dan and I went to Iowa for a wedding and to visit friends so the boys stayed with Grandpa and Grandma Kattestad. They played a lot with their cousins and kept everyone busy.

We made it back for the 4th and had a picnic at Grandpa and Grandma Goshaw's house, here is a little of what the day was like.

Cullen likes to spend a lot if time driving in his car, that is when his brother lets him have a turn and watch out when you try to take him out of it, he doesn't go easily! I think he would spend the whole day in it if we let him.Grandpa Dale and Devin fixed the slide on the swing set, Devin loves anything that has to do with fixing or building something. I'm not sure what Devin will do when he gets older but I think it is safe to say it will have something to do with fixing or making things with a hammer!

Cullen has found another use for Sam's food dishes, a chair! He thinks it is hilarious and the more I tell him no the more he wants to do it, of course!
