Ammie's Squirrels

Ammie has been working hard on the landscaping of her new house. 

Maylee helped set out the garden ornaments and really liked the squirrels.

 

Harden Family Duck

Neighbors up the road raise a duckling until it was large enough to be turned free on their family farm.  Maylee enjoyed riding her bike (Mama pushing her on her bike) uphill to their house to watch the duck.  Anytime she was riding her bike in our driveway she thought we needed to go see the duck.

 

Shoe Independence

Maylee was so proud when she figured out how to put her shoes on by herself. 

I didn't have the heart to tell her that they were on the wrong feet.

Oregon Trip in June

School got out for Kev and Wendy on Friday, June 10th.  After school, Wendy and Maylee met Wendy's parents in CdA and rode with them to Oregon to attend Derek and David's high school graduations.  By June, Maylee was doing really well with potty training.  However, when she said she needed to go potty you didn't have much time until she would have an accident.  This made the trip to Oregon interesting.  There were a couple of times when Maylee said she needed to go potty and there were no exits off of the freeway for awhile. We told her that it would be okay to go in her diaper and she would tear up and say "No, mama." She held it until we could exit and find her a spot to go.  The original plan was to attend Derek's ceremony in The Dalles and then drive to Eugene to attend David's party.  Between CdA and The Dalles, we learned that Maylee's bladder need more pit stops and she was tired of riding in the car.  So, Wendy and Maylee stayed at Aunt Jan's house while her parents traveled on to the other graduation.
