Happy kiddies.

Helping mommy make dinner!

Ky and her favorite "girl" (as she calls her).

A moment.

I love when I see little moments like this one.

Ky was playing a game on my phone and Gav curled up next to her to watch. They played and giggled like this for awhile.

I am so proud of the bond that they have. Kylie insists that she is going to marry her little brother. She is really looking forward to the two diamond rings that he is going to give her! Because "girls love diamonds" she matter-of-factly told me the other day! Ha

(Side note: I love this photo so much because they both just happen to be wearing their favorite things... Gav in his Cars shirt and Ky in her most treasured dress: the rainbow dress! She could wear it everyday if I let her!)

Evening with cousins.

We enjoyed our last evening with the Schneider cousins by spending some quality time together at Szalay's Farm... one of our favorite summer spots.

The kids enjoyed the swings, tractor, ice cream and each other!

Garin taking Gram and cousins for a ride.

The fab four on the big swing!

Day at the Zoo.

Some pics from a trip to the Cleveland Zoo that we took in early June. We've had a busy summer so hopefully I'll be able to get caught up and share some pics from the fun we've had!

Kylie brought her own little camera and had a blast snapping pics of the animals! Love my little budding photographer!

Ky got to feed fish to the seals! Definitely her favorite moment at the zoo.

B-O-Y.

This kid is such a BOY. Despite his love of Strawberry Shortcake (big sister may have a slight influence on that), there is not a more boy-ish boy out there.

He has really embraced his orneriness lately (lucky us). He has such a sense of humor and talks nonstop!

He knows how to work his mama, too. In a matter of minutes he can melt me into a puddle with his adorableness and then have me wiping sweat from his wild energy and stubborn streak.

And then he flashes this smile and his mama is wrapped around his finger yet again...
