Visit

Aunt Pam, Evan and Claire were in Denver with Uncle Troy and came to visit us for a day.  The kids had a great time!

We wish we got to see each other more often!

New Couch

We finally got rid of the maroon couch.  We liked the couch, but hated that one of cushions had to be covered from the dogs chewing on it.  The new couch is all leather, which is so hard to find.  We got in into the house, with the help of a neighbor, just before it started pouring!

Just last night we got a storage ottoman the same color as the couch.  The couch is a little tall and our feet don't touch the ground.  We expected the ottoman to be a little shorter, but it is just as tall!  We will get used to it.  We got rid of the big coffee table because it just collected everything.  I am happy with the new couch and ottoman!

7 Months!

I know I say this every month, but I really can't believe how fast time is flying!

Doing a push up!

Danny is scooting around on his tummy and he moves so fast!  He gets up on all fours, but hasn't quite figured it out yet.  We have had to get out the gate for his safety.  He is definitely not lazy!  He got a blister on his big toe since he uses it for leverage.  It didn't seem to bother him.  I can't believe he will be walking before we know it!

Here are a few random pics of him scooting after a ball.

And of making  mess eating homemade baby food...YUMMY!

Swim!

Lexi is on the Colorado Springs Swim Team.  She had her first swim meet last night and she did a great job!  Swimming is definitely her thing.

 She has swim practice 4 mornings a week.  Unfortunately, it is an outdoor pool.  Some days it is so cold and I feel so sorry for her.  She stays in as long as she can!  Her coaches were proud of her last night.  We are looking forward to the next meet.

Danny 6 Months

Wow!  Danny has been with us for half a year already!  At his 6 month appointment he was 16 lbs., 5 ozs., and 27 1/4 inches.  He is in the 40th percentile for weight and the 77th percentile for height. 

T-ball!

Chris is having so much fun with t-ball!  It has been interesting for us.  Our coach doesn't know anything about coaching, so we got off to a slow start.  Luckily, one of the dads has been filling in and the kids are learning a lot.  Here are some pictures from the first game.

The Wasson Cubs.

Batter up!

Coming in to home.

Looking happy!

Being catcher is boring :)

He is starting to come out of his shell more.  I am sure t-ball and other activities are helping :)

Lexi's Award

At Lexi's school, they are big on having a monthly awards ceremony.  She was so disappointed when it was getting close to the end of the school year and she still didn't get an award.  She was determined to get one!  Her teacher, Mrs. Stamer, sent me a message the week before summer break and let me know Lexi was getting an award and it was going to be a surprise.  Chris, Danny and I dropped Lexi off at school and then we parked and went in.  Lexi did not know we were there.  When she was called for her award, she was so surprised and I could tell she was nervous.  She went up to the stage looking straight ahead and looking so serious.  She got the Principal's Award for academic achievement.  She did it!

She was so happy (when she got back to her seat)!
