Easton at 3 years and 8 months (give or take)
First, some pictures that haven't seemed to make it up here yet.
Silly glasses:
Swimming outside with his Buzz goggles:
Silly boy.
Captain Hook! I have no idea why this is upside down. Darn you blogger!
Spending some time at disneyjunior.com
Being a ham.
Easton loves hanging out with friends and some of his favorite buddies are Damian and Bianca. Here we enjoyed a horse-drawn wagon ride at Super Day in Cheyenne.
Easton's the only one looking at the camera...but he sure is cute!
Daddy and Kendree enjoyed the ride as well.
Easton is at a very fun (and slightly frustrating) age. I can reason with him on most things and he understand so much more than I think he will. He loves to know what we are doing that day (and will ask multiple times during the day if he feels like the day hasn't been fun enough so far). He says his prayers on his own and hates to be helped if he tells you he doesn't want any help. Most times we assume that Heavenly Father knows that we are thankful for the food and would like it to be blessed even if only one of those items is actually said out loud.
He is a great little buddy and loves to help with chores (well, not every single time I ask him). He is especially good at putting away the silverware and helping to fold clothes. Cleaning up toys though? Not his favorite at all.
While he continues to love playing with Toy Story and Cars toys, he doesn't request the movies much at all. His taste for movies has moved to a different movie every day instead of stretches of the same movie over and over. He also loves spending some time on disneyjunior.com and playing the wii. He is great at Mariokart, Wii Sports, Mario and Sonic Olympics and Carnival Games and likes to play several other games with a little bit of assistance.
He takes about 2 naps a week (one always on the drive home from Laramie on Tuesdays and then another random day), but is starting to enjoy quiet time in his room on a daily basis as he finally realized it was mom approved "get away from Kendree" time. We set the timer and he can only come out when it rings (I make sure he goes to the bathroom and takes water in with him so there are no other excuses). We're not very good at execution on the weekends, but during the week he is great.
Easton loves church. He loves his friends in Primary and in his Sunbeam class and while his interpretation of what they learned about it usually quite entertaining, he can't wait to go back every week.
He has had what I consider a breakthrough with swimming. When we started lessons the beginning of July, he hated getting his face wet and had a lot of fear. After a two week class here in Cheyenne and a one week class in California at grandma's house, he is quite the little fish. He revels in going "all the way under" and getting his face wet (although he still comes up sputtering, he will readily do it again). The rest of the sessions are full this summer, but I'll be putting him in a class this fall and through the winter so we can keep up that love.
He hasn't (knock on wood) gotten to the "why?" stage of things yet, but I'm anticipating it anytime. We love his energy around here...and love every day we get to spend with him.

Easton Cuts a Rug
Easton love to dance. Loves it.
Recently, he does not love when I try to watch him dance, so these next two videos were taken yesterday on the sly. I'll warn they are a little long, so feel free to stop watching whenev.
Easton and Step in Time (he loves this song forever-more).

Kendree Walking - July 2011
So I didn't get Kendree walking until she had been doing it for a month and a half. Can you say second child?
Here she is!
Here she is!

Kendree - 17 months
At 17 months, Kendree is really turning on the chatter. She says the following words consistently and will attempt to copy almost anything you want her to say (except her name and Easton's names--those you have to catch her in the perfect mood):
all aboard - (aw bob)
outside (ow sye)
Kendree (kaw ee)
Easton (ceee)
more (mo)
please (sssssss)
Mama (pawpaw)
Daddy (dada)
out (ow)
uh-oh
Night-Night (nye-nye)
apple (aw-pull)
up
tag (ta)
purple (purr-pah)
banana (dada)
five (fye)
thank you (tay-to)
hot (ha)
hat (ha) (the signing is the only way to tell the difference between these two)
catch (ta)
what's this (wah dis)
what's that (wah da)
She continues to sign constantly and it is such a help when she wants things she can't say (like "drink"). She also is very good at going over to the fridge and attempting to open it whenever she is hungry/thirsty.
As I mentioned last month, she has been quite the screamer. She would scream really high-pitched if she didn't get her way/you didn't understand, etc. With the addition of more words and signs, the screaming has diminished SIGNIFICANTLY! I don't know if I could have handled it much longer, so it has been fantastic.
I find myself beginning to think of her as a toddler instead of a baby (gasp!). She never stops moving and attempts to do anything that Easton does. (I think the words tag, catch and all aboard illustrate that quite nicely). The one thing that slows her down is the stairs. She goes up with no problem, but HATES to turn around to go down. I think that stems from Easton not turning around. So, she will stand at the top for a minute or two and then, well, I'm not sure what she will do as so far I have always been there to help her down. As soon as she has a grip on even one of my fingers she steps off with complete faith. The girl is going to really hurt herself someday. :)
She got two new teeth this month (total teeth =5). Her top left came in on July 2nd and the one next to that came in July 16th.
Kendree continues to nap one time a day and sleep through the night. She loves the outside and cries when I won't let her out in the hottest parts of the day. We love our Kenny girl!

The closest to an "official" 17 month picture that I got.
Silly Glasses:
Wants the camera:
Wearing goggles while watching everyone else swim (not that I wouldn't let her, the water was just a bit cold for her)
Videos of her walking are currently uploading, so I'll get those up in a separate post very soon!

Easton Mows the Lawn
Easton loves to help daddy mow the lawn. Usually he just follows right behind as Ronnie mows. It is quite possibly the cutest thing ever.
