Baseball Buddies

We went to a Royals game for Dada's birthday this year. It was K-State day. We had around 40 people in our group, including Kyler's buddy Kendal. They waited in line and ran the bases at Kauffman Stadium. They are a couple of sweet boys. Let's hope they stay that way!

Cousins

In the past two years, Kyler has gained a lot of playmates. He is the oldest of these five cousins. The youngest is almost a year old. There are going to be lots of fun years at Grandma and Grandpa's farmhouse!

Bean Boy

Waiting to go back to the surgery room

We had quite a bit of excitment on Father's Day weekend. Kyler and Myelle were "helping" me in the kitchen so I decided to give them some flour to play with. When Myelle started choking on it because she was eating it by the spoonful, I decided to give them some uncooked noodles and beans to stir. I kept an eye on her so that she wouldn't put them in her mouth. Brett and I were talking when Kyler excitedly tells us, "Hey! I got a bean in my ear!"

Waiting for our little man to wake up

Right away we told him "NO!!!" and I'm sure he tried pulling it out but pushed it in further. We couldn't tweeze it out because it was in far enough and I even tried sucking it out after telling him to lay on the floor and bob his head side to side. So we went to the ER. That was a bad idea. They made it worse.

Ready to get out of there!

On Monday, we went to Topeka first thing to an ENT. They ended up having to put him out to get it out of his ear, but no cutting was needed. Kyler was very brave and cooperated well with all the doctors and nurses. We were relieved that the ordeal was over, although we are not looking forward to the medical bills to come.

Kyler and "the bean"

A tiny thing can cause so much trouble!

Remember?

I am beginning to understand why Kyler is always having dreams. He just came out of his room asking if I remember shooting the bad guys when we were on the boats. "Uh, no Kyler. I have never shot anyone. I think you were dreaming." He proceeded to explain they were like roller coaster boats. I told him they were bumper boats and just squirted water at each other but not bad guys. He told me the bad guys were in cages. I was getting a little freaked out. Then I realized he was remembering a ride from Silver Dollar City almost a year ago. The kid's memory is insane!

Blast Ball - Year 2

Kyler played blast ball again this year. It went remarkably better than last year. He did great, participated, and did as he was told. See for yourself...

P.S. I love that he still looks so small on those big bases. :)
