GOOOOOOD MORNING!!!

look how we found kase this morning!
it's a good thing daddy dropped down the mattress!

kase has been movin' and groovin' all over the place lately. he's pretty pumped about being able to crawl, and has a new fascination with electrical cords. we're forced to look at things through the eyes of a baby and see how dangerous things are! we never knew how childproofing the house also meant our house would be adult-proof!

SHORTS

How cool do I look in my shorts?!
I sure do love this beautiful weather!

Police Academy Graduation

For the past 14 weeks my oldest, younger brother has been attending the Police Academy in Des Moines. This weekend marked the end of his academy training, and we attended his graduation! Josh is officially a police officer at the Pella Police Department. In honor of Josh's graduation, we bought Kase a shirt that read "My Uncle is a Police Officer" and he rocked it!

boats

Kase has really been into boats and pointing lately! He has sailboats in his room and on his bedsheets, and if we say, "Kase, where is a boat?" he'll point to a boat on his sheet. He's so smart :)

"You're the man, Dad"
"No, you're the man, Kase!"

sleepy test

Giving Kase his blanket is the ultimate test to see if he's tired or not.
See if you can see what I mean...
