Norman "Pool" Party

We had Jason's family over this weekend for a pool party. The end of August sounds pretty promising for pool weather doesn't it?

Well, even though my pool looked like this:
Very inviting right?
No one went swimming (except for Brent, who got thrown in by Jason and Justin, with all of his clothes on!) because it was 65 degrees out and the water temp was colder than that!! NOT swimming weather! So we played outside instead!

Here are some of the pictures I got:

Kyan and Tate riding in the wagon.


Auntie Anna pulling the boys.




Playing with the tee-ball game Hunter got for his birthday.

Kyan getting hit in the face with a ball that Brent hit! ....He was fine!

Some shots of all the Norman siblings and their kids

You may be wondering.... "Were Jason's parents there? Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Steve?" Yes, they were, they are just good at eluding the camera!

How do you keep a 1 year busy while you make supper?

He did this for the whole time I was making dinner the other night, with no prompting from me. I think it could be good practice for mowing the lawn, shoveling the driveway, vacuuming the living room... : )

Winnie the Pooh

I also think he looks a bit like and Ewok! : )

9 months!

Yesterday, Aug. 5th, was Kyan's 9 month-aversary since coming home. This is a big deal to us because now we have cared for Kyan longer than any one else did when he was in Korea. Now Jason and I have had him the LONGEST! That is pretty exciting to us!

So I will leave you with this video of Ky playing with a ball I got from the Dollar Store (best buck I've spent in a while!) He played with it for the longest time! I think he may want to sleep with it tonight! He just figured out that it bounces high on the hardwood floor. Please excuse the mess... I have a toddler! : )

My Son Sorts His Food

Yesterday when I came back to check on how Ky was doing eating his crackers, this is what I found:

He had sorted out all of the pretzel ones into to cup slot. These crackers had come in a bag that had the 2 mixed up. He ate all of the cheddar ones and left the pretzels.


Than this morning I came upon this while he was eating his breakfast:

he had sorted out all the banana and than ate all the grapes. (When I put them on his plate they were all mixed up.)

The math person in me is SO EXCITED that he is already sorting... we may have a math genius on our hands... however, the picky-eater in me is thinking... he probably just is sorting his food because he is also a picky eater!
