We are in Mountain Home visiting Gram and Papa.  Kallee loves to play dress-up and get animals and Barbies and play pretend under Gram's and Papa's table.  She told me this was her "Club House."

Throughout the summer Kallee and Jakey have been taking swimming lessons from a girl in the neighborhood.  They are doing well and can put their heads under the water.  Today they are trying on their new swim goggles!

Today was our last day in Smart Sports.  As the picture describes, it didn't end well.  The instructors wanted the kids to play a soccer game before they got their trophies and certificates.  Jakey and Kallee were on the same team.  The instructor told Jakey he could kick the ball off to start the game.  Well...another kid beat him to the kickoff and Jakey was very upset.  So Jakey and Ken are off to the side and Ken is trying to talk to Jakey.  I am with Kallee trying to get her interested in chasing after the ball and kicking it.  The ball finally comes to us and I tell her to kick it.  She just looks at it.   Jakey gets back into the game with fire.  He is pushing his way to get to the ball so he can kick it and the instructors tell him to be gentle.  He gets mad again and starts crying to Ken.  The game ends, with no help from Kallee and Jakey.  They get their trophies and certificates and Jakey is crying the whole time.

Kallee and Jakey riding their bikes.  Jakey gets to ride his "Big Boy Thomas the Train" bike when he goes pooh on the potty.  Yes, he still will not pooh in the potty on a regular basis.

Introducing Jungle Bear and Ella (nothing will ever replace Ruff-Ruff for Kallee).

Happy Independence Day!  Justin, Ariel, Alora, & Mike have been staying with us the last couple of days.  The kids have had so much fun together and have become instant friends.  Today we all took the train (TRAX) to the Gateway and spoiled the kids at Build-a-Bear.

The Ken Klingler Family rowing at the lake near the Heber Valley Campground where the Klingler/Daley Family Reunion was held.

Sunday, we were at Larry's and Fay's for dinner outside. Jakey went in the house and went pooh in the potty all by himself! Yeah!

Monday...no such luck!

Tuesday, he successfully went pooh in the potty again!

Today...not successful.

Jakey likes to help me or Ken mow the lawn. He follows us with his toy lawn mower. It makes the neighbors laugh!

Jakey still poohs in his pants daily. Whenever he does it, he assures me that he will try the next time to go in the potty. I feel like a failure!

Kallee loves peanut butter. Her favorite snack is peanut butter on a spoon. I think Grammy taught her that!

Jakey hates peanut butter. He loves jam sandwiches!

Jakey and Kallee are best friends. I love to ask them who their best friend is and they always reply with their sibling's name!

When one of the kids wakes up and the other is not awake they always ask me if they can go wake the other one up!

Tonight was Jakey's and Kallee's first time attending "Smart Sports." This class teaches them the basics of throwing, catching, kicking, etc. The best part of this class is that Mom and Dad attend too!

Jakey can hit the ball off the t-ball stand left-handed or right-handed. He can also throw left or right-handed. It will be interesting to see which hand he ends up using.

Kallee likes to look pretty while playing sports. The funny thing is she doesn't catch balls, she dives on every ball that comes her way.

I found Jakey in the garage today trying to sound out the word "husky." I have such a smart boy.

Earlier this week, while in a store, Jakey said to me, "Mom that sign says EXIT!"

Camping in Moon Lake was fun. As we were sleeping the first night, Kallee was dreaming and yelling that Jakey was dropping her chips, which woke up Jakey. Needless to say, Jakey and Kallee ended up sleeping with Ken and I.

We went camping to Moon Lake with Aunt Sunny, Justin, Josh and Jill. When we arrived, Kallee looked at the mountains in front of us and told her Dad, "I love the mountains, can I jump on them?"

Ken and I were sitting in the kitchen talking and the kids were outside playing. Kallee comes in followed by Jakey. Kallee said something about a mouse, Ken and I look at each other and then look at Jakey holding a dead mouse in his hand as proud as he can be! We jumped!

Today we went to Granite Park for a pony ride. When we arrived Kallee exclaimed, "Mom there is Papa and Grammy, there in the mountains, that is where they live!" (Granite Park is close to the mountains.)
