Life at Chunky Gal: May 2012

When your toddler starts saying that, you know it's been raining too much before for him if he's noticing it's not raining :) haha Wyatt now likes to let us know if it is in fact raining, or if it's not currently raining here. Always handy to have a weatherman around.

It's that time of year! Summertime is here!!! I feel like it's summer camp time and all our buddies are coming back for the summer in town and we'll have another round of crazy times and fun stories to come. We've got t-shirts in the mix almost ready to get out there, new horses, new trails, always something fun and new going on :)

The boys are doing great. Cole is getting ready to take off crawling. He's getting up on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth, ready to go! He's figured out how to sit up by himself, and then gets really excited about it and falls back over (it's a little funny). He's pretty determined when he sets his sights on something and finds a way to roll and stretch his way to it. We're going to be in trouble soon once he starts crawling!

Wyatt is talking up a storm. New words, phrases, etc. every hour it feels like. He is something else :) He loves learning new things and helping out around our place. He loves to run, run, run!

Happy Tuesday (although it sure feels like a Monday today...)

The gang's all here! (Wyatt, Madalyn and Cole)

Oh the silly conversations these guys have!

Teaching him early how to keep the books ;)

You know it's summer time when...Levi is too tired to care...

Did I mention Cole got 4 teeth in about 2 weeks?

The next horse whisperer?

Either way, he loves those horses!

Wyatt does too :)

Happy Baby!

Hanging out with Daddy!

Spring has sprung and we have been hopping along with all sorts of fun adventures! The weather has been amazing (with a few cold days thrown in) and we've been taking advantage of it for sure. We did a little camping in Pisgah Forest with some of the Goins crew a few weeks back and Wyatt got to spend the night sleeping in a tent for the first time! He's really getting into this camping idea.

We've spent a lot of time outside getting things all cleaned up and looking good. We've painted doors, added mulch, mowed, weedeated, bushhogged, etc. etc. and it's only May! I always forget how much work it is around here once everything begins to grow again. But we enjoy spending time outside.

We welcomed a new horse recently and he's adjusting to the rest of the herd well. All the horses have shed their winter coats and are really looking great coming out of an easier winter. That's always a good way to start the summer season. :) Levi also got his hair cut for the summer recently and is looking so good! We decided he needed a little help this year to get rid of that heavy winter coat and I think it may become a yearly thing now.

The boys are doing great! Cole is really starting to sit up and take notice of everything now. He's discovering the animals and all the crazy things going on around him. He's super close to crawling and gets up on his hands and knees now, just no forward motion yet (and no complaint from this momma!) but I have a feeling things are about to get a little more entertaining around here really soon once he can chase after his brother finally :) Wyatt is talking up a storm. His current favorite phrase "What is that?" about everything! haha it's pretty cute.

We just got back from a great trip to the beach. We spent a week down at Myrtle Beach State Park and had a blast! The boys were able to play outside a bunch, we played on the beach, Robb got to do a lot of fishing on the pier, and there were several playgrounds we had to check out. All in all, we wished we stayed another week :)

Hope everyone is doing good during this super full moon!!

Happy Sunday (funday)!
