June brought the Fifth Annual Richard J Heck Memorial Golf Tournament - a fund-raiser for the Great Falls Community Ice Foundation - in honor of Damon's late father, Rick. Once again we were blessed with beautiful weather, loving friends and a fantastic turnout! We are so lucky to have such a great circle of family and friends.
Mid-June, we ventured to Coeur d' Alene for a small family vacation and to see Damon's cousin, Briget, get married. The weather was cold and wet, but we made the best of it! The boys spent a lot of time utilizing the hotel pool and hot tub. Fortunately, we were able to spend a day at Silverwood Theme Park. We had a GREAT time. Kylor was a little skeptical of the rides - even opting to ride on the bench on the carousel. Kason LOVED all the rides! The difference in personalities is black and white / night and day. The wedding was beautiful - such a special occasion.
Kylor...Kylor...Kylor...Ky-Man took Level 1 swimming lessons! All...by...himself! (Kylor didn't have much water exposure when he was smaller due to all of his ear problems.) I was so proud of my little man! His water confidence has really excelled! We can't wait to see what he plans to impress us with when we go on our annual Seeley Lake vacation in July! Kylor has been so excited to see all of his friends this summer at Cheryl's house - he sure missed them during the school year. Every night he has stories of his adventures of tree-house climbing, etc. with his friends. Ky is such a social little guy!
I'm sure that Kason can hardly wait for his swimming lessons come July -he's such a little 'go-getter'! In our home, we've always called the pacifier a 'nummie' - Kason's new name for it is a 'num-num' - he's so stinking cute. The little bugger is so attached to his 'num-num' he may be a much more difficult child to break of it than his older brother was. Kason loves to jibber-jabber to our kitty - Bella. He chases her around the house chanting, 'meow...meow...meow'. Once in a great while, I'll catch her for the boys - so that they can pet her and love on her. Kason is still learning to be gentle so as he pets Bella, I'll have to remind him to be 'nice'. In Kason's world, her name has gone from Bella to 'Nice'. 'Kason, what's your kitty's name?' Kason, 'Nice'.
Knocking on the door to July...
