3 Parties for a Third Birthday...

I know this is way late but better late than never, Right! Well Kaleb was a lucky boy this year and got to have 3 different parties. The first one was on his birthday, but he got to share it with his Gma JuJu (whose Birthday was March 30) and his great aunt Marilyn who has the same birthday as Kaleb. It was lots of fun we had yummy food and them had a pinata filled with lots of goodies. Then Sunday we had just a family party, since Kim, Milo and Gma JuJu were in town, the final party was a friend party that we had the following week. It was fun for Kaleb to have had so many opportunities to have fun and eat cake. We sure love our Kaleb, but I don't plan on doing more than one party next year!

We loved having Kim, Milo and JuJu here for the weekend the boys had fun playing with one another and shooting hoops.
As you can see from the picture above Kaleb loves to be just like his cousin Milo!

Happy 3rd Birthday Kaleb!!!

Our Kaleb has gone from this to ....

This!

I can't believe that as of April 2nd, we now have a THREE year old it seems just yesterday we were welcoming him to our family. He has really grown up these last few months. He is constantly talking even in his sleep! Just today we were at the store and he was having a conversation with everyone ( he doesn't get that from me). Kaleb loves to play with his any ball it depends on the day which he is most obsessed with. He absolutely adores his cousin Milo and sometimes they get a little crazy when they are together but they have so much fun. Kaleb also loves to go for walks, go to the park usually to kick the soccer ball or shoot hoops, loves to play the Wii, loves to read stories specially when daddy reads them or his JuJu! He also loves to go to Gma Alice's house and play in her wonderful backyard or with the fun toys she has in her cupboard! Kaleb has also started to really love praying we hardly get to pray for meals anymore because he wants to do it his prays are short and to the point but we love to hear them sometimes he will even pray before he plays basketball since that is what daddy does before church ball. Kaleb loves his brother, but also doesn't get along with him all the time he seems to be a nuisance to him! They do play often with each other and it lets me do other things or just RELAX! We sure love our KALEB and love watching him grow up and discover so many new things, our family or life would not be the same with out his energetic craziness. Some things we don't enjoy so much about a 3 yr old are his tantrums, his need to be so independent that it is sometimes frustrating to us since it is not always safe. Are hope is to all survive these terrible THREE'S. I am sure we will all come out stronger and loving each other more! WE love you Kaleb!

We love are Kaleb

So Sunday while we were getting ready for church, we kept hearing Kaleb saying "come on doggy" , I finally realized he was pretending his brother was his dog. I told him that Jakey is his brother not his dog he told no he is my doggy, so I just kept getting ready, then my sister ran over to borrow a can of food (on a side note: my sister just moved around the corner and love that we can call and borrow those things we need) so she comes in and this is what conversation she had with Kaleb:

Sarah: Hi Kaleb
Kaleb: Hi Sarah, this is my dog (pointing to Jacob)
Sarah: no that is Jacob
Kaleb: no this is my dog

So according to Kaleb we have a Jacob who is also our family dog! I guess it is the joys of having a younger brother! Love you Kaleb!

Our Crazy Boys...

So one of our family New Year Resolution this year is to focus more on family time on Sunday's so this video is back in January when instead of trying to nap or watch TV we played with the boys. We all had so much fun, Kaleb loves to show us his "new moves" all the time and Jacob decided to join in on the fun. I apologize for my naked Jakey boy but he is too cute for clothes and also for the pant less Kaleb again just too cute for all of his clothes! Hope you enjoy the "SHOW"!

We have a Vampire...

So Jacob got his two bottom middle teeth at 10 months and then nothing until last month when these two came in we were quit surprised that he got these before his middle top ones he now has also broken a molar and one of his top middle with help from big bro's skateboard! Hopefully now we will get the rest so we can be done teething for a little while!

I am big BOY now!

It is official for over a month Kaleb is potty trained! We tried to potty train over Christmas break so that we would be able to devote the time to it, well it wasn't happening so we stopped and then the week that school started he started coming in our room telling us he had to pee so we would put him on the toilet and he would go, so after 2 days of that I decided to just potty train him and he only had 2 accidents one #1 and one #2. It is so nice having only ONE in diapers and we are so proud of Kaleb for being such a big Boy. It seems so weird that he is so grown up and will be THREE in just over a MONTH it is crazy how time flies!

Here are some funny conversations he had with his grandma JuJu:

Kaleb: I don't like showers
Gma: Why ?
Kaleb: I FREAK OUT!

Kaleb: is your pee yellow?
Gma: yes it is!
Kaleb: my pee is yellow!

We sure love our Kaleb! Life just wouldn't be the same without him!

A Much Needed Update...

Lets start with are wonderful Christmas we had. The boys were both so much fun this year. We got to go up north and spend it with my family. It was a little cramped in my mom's 2 bedroom duplex but it was so nice to be with family and let the kids play with their cousins. Kaleb asked Santa for 2 things a hoop and a skateboard(a Woody one of course), well Santa came through as well as some pads, a cabbage patch kid (he loved playing with cousin Alethia's baby so he know has his own that is a boy) He promptly named it BUG! Jacob got cars since he loves them as well as a cabbage patch for him so he wasn't left out! It was so fun and enjoyable to not got to crazy as much as I might have wanted to. Oh and Christmas Eve we did our family tradition of opening PJ's. Tim and I decided to get ourselves sweatsuits since neither of us wear PJ's to bed, The boys of course got Buzz and Woody Jammies since Kaleb is obsessed with Toy Story! Christmas Eve

Making Santa Cookies


Christmas!
the picture with Jacob standing at the tree, he was completely mesmerized by Aunt Kim's spinning tree! Crazy kid!



Play Time with Daddy!

It snowed the day after Christmas! We have only had snow down here once and it melted by the afternoon!


So we had a pretty low key New Years, but glad to have a new year to look forward to! We had a month off of school and were back into the grind of school until I had my second surgery on my left knee. I had a harder time recovering so I have withdrawn from school for this semester, but Tim has only ONE more semester after this semester and then he will have his bachelors degree!!! We are both so excited! As for my surgery I am doing a ton better. I had issues with the anesthesia making me sick so I was in lots of pain the first few days since I couldn't keep anything down. Then it turned out they did stitches instead of staples and when they took the stitches out it was a very horrible feeling since it was a big long stitch through my leg knotted on both ends they cut one end and pulled it out the other end. Not fun! Then it ended up bleeding because some of the incision opened so they had to put me on antibiotics and my leg hurt a little more than normal. They also took out the screw out of my right knee. But March 3rd can't come fast enough so I can walk again! Tim has been a trooper and amazing juggling school and being mommy and daddy!

The boys are growing up so fast Kaleb is talking so much and loving to play pretend he also loves watching Backyardagains. He loves and hates his brother! They are so fun to watch play when they are getting along. Kaleb loves his sports of course it depends on the day what sport is his favorite. He loves to play with his daddy. Kaleb also loves to draw. Our Jacob is full on walking since his birthday! He tries to run with his brother. Jacob loves to give the best loves and he is still our chunky boy which I love, He wears all of the clothes Kaleb wore last year. Jacob loves his Alethia and babies, which he usually smothers with loves and his body! We sure love our boys!

Random pictures of Kaleb the last little bit

Random picture of Jacob!

Kaleb wanted to make a tent so they got creative and took advantage of the fact that I have crutches and used them to make the tent taller!
