Kylerisms - The End of the Calendar

This is sort of morbid but Kyler is a very inquisitive kid and is also curious about death/heaven...
K - When will we die?Me - We don't know. K - Probably when we get to the end of the calendar?Me - (lol) No, we will just get another calendar. K - Okay. Then I hear him praying quietly. K - God, please can I go to heaven? Okay, thank you.And then he immediately fell asleep on the floor where he was playing. My first thought was, "I hope he wakes up." When his dada got home, I told him and he immediately went to check on Ky-man.

Lessons from Kyler: Apologizing

The kids are down the hall playing. 
I just heard Kyler yelling, "Say you're sorry and give me a hug and kiss!" 
Myelle: "Whyyy?" 
Kyler: "Because when you hurt someone you say sorry and give a hug and kiss."
(Pause)
Kyler: "Say sorry first!" 
Myelle: "Sorry."
I'm pretty sure the hug and kiss came next, but we like to let the kids work out their own problems as much as possible so I can't be sure.

"Matching"

Kyler has gotten to the age where he "matches" his own clothes when he gets dressed in the morning. You know, black matches black, navy matches bright blue, etc. Some days he is looking super awesome.

4th of July

We spent the whole weekend (actually almost a full week) at the Centralia Lake camping for the 4th of July. It was close to Papa's store which was nice for him since it is the busiest weekend of the year for him. We borrowed Great Grandma Rita's motor home and even after spending so many days at the lake, the kids were not ready to go back home. The first couple of nights were really chilly which was unusual for July in Kansas. But by the weekend it warmed right up and we were able to go swimming. Before getting in the water, Kyler was sure to ask if there were any sharks or crabs. He's always thinking, that boy. It was nice to have time to just hang out and not be in a hurry to get anywhere to do anything. Centralia has a lot of festivities for the 4th, including a parade and fireworks. Kyler's Great Grandpa Remi asked him to ride on his motorcycle in the parade. He rides with the American Legion Riders. Kyler decided he would and he did great. We were afraid he would be nervous because of the loud noise, but as you can see he was really enjoying himself. Grandpa Remi was too!
