SUMMER IS HERE!!!

We are so happy that the long winter and two months of non-stop rain is over...but the hot muggy summer arrived a few days ago and now we are wondering what is worse? So much has happened in the last several months, but the biggest news is that Wilcox Baby #3 will be arriving the end of October and we are so excited! Cayson is convinced that he will have a new baby brother soon, but we decided to be surprised so we won't find out if he is right until the little bundle of joy gets here.


The end of January we went to Indianapolis for a couple of days. The 1st day we went to the Indy 500 Museum and loved looking at all the race cars. The next day we went to the world's biggest Children's Museum which was several different levels and had almost anything you could imagine, but of course we spent the majority of our time in the dinosaur area!



On January 31st, Gary killed a deer with his bow, just down the street from our house. We were happy to stock our freezer, and the meat was so good! I never thought I would love game meat so much...so I guess I will let him hunt again this year :-).


Cayson has such a funny personality on him! Luckily the dog is a good sport.




Cayson had so much fun dying eggs for Easter! Kinsley was more concerned with feeding her daddy...he is wrapped around her little finger!


I think Gary might have inherited some of his mom's green thumb. He has been wanting to plant a garden since last summer, and with Cayson's help he found some time to actually do it. I am so excited to eat fresh veggies from our 1st garden.


Cayson has been "patiently" waiting for the weather to warm up for about 6 months now so he could set-up his 1st lemonade stand. From one pitcher he made $6.25! Everyday since he has been begging me to make lemonade so he can try his luck again. Our neighborhood will be broke by the end of summer :-).

Cayson is in heaven holding this snake!

On May 27th, Cayson graduated from his 1st year of pre-school. Mrs. Kim has been an awesome teacher and Cayson is excited to be in her pre-school class one more year starting in September.

Okay, I had to add this picture! Cayson definitely likes to play rough with his baby sister...but don't feel bad for her cause she gets him back every time!

Gary was on call most of Memorial weekend, but luckily we were able to find time for biking down the 5 Mile Trail and canoeing/fishing at East Fork Lake. Cayson was so excited to do both...and both were his ideas!
