The day was all about you!!




Your birthday fell on a Sunday this year. We celebrated with family and friends. After church we drove up the canyon and took some beautiful pictures of fall coming to life. You were asleep the whole time in your car seat. You were out!

We ate spaghetti for dinner and cake and ice cream for dessert. Yum!



You most certainly turned 2 on your birthday. With this blessed #2 came tantrums, crying, whining, not wanting to sleep, hitting, and making pools of water in all the bathrooms. BUT...

also comes the Most Sweet, Sensitive Little Boy ever.



You love playing with your sisters. You try so hard to do everything they do, and you get so excited when Kallie comes home from school.

You love your dad very much and get ecstatic when he gets home as well. Your favorite is wrestling with him and taking it like a champ. :)

You are so strong and very coordinated for a 2 year old. We always get asked, how old you are. Not because you are extremely big for your age(which makes daddy smile) but because you can drop kick a soccer ball. Hit a baseball being pitched at you and love to shoot a basketball anytime you see a hoop. We can't wait for you to develop your talents and see you in action later on in life. Whatever you choose to do, you will be great because you are so determined.

You are also a very tough kid. You can fall OFF the couch, coffee table, bed, curb, bike, or whatever else you seem to fall off of, and Get UP, Wipe Yourself off and Say OUCH!! Then your over it and you go do it again. Very determined little boy. :)

Several weeks ago, we finally took away your binky's. It was very hard for me at first. You had some severe withdrawals for that thing. But we made it. :) You are such a big boy now. You speak very well for your age. You understand everything that is said to you and carry on conversation quite well.

You love milk!!

You love to play with cars, trains, balls, and anything BOY!

You love to wave goodbye to people leaving.

One of my favorite things about you is how considerate you are. Whenever you bump me or accidentally do something you say, "Sorry mommy. Sorry!" (with the cutest voice ever)

Moving...



Moving
It is never fun. But it is needed or you wouldn't do it right?

We did move and are now trying to settle in. (just down the street not far)

We have moved 7 times out of the 9 years we have been married. Crazy yes. I know we have no control of what's been going on with jobs and what not. But, Oh to have a home thats not temporary and be able to call it, Home Sweet Home.

Don't get me wrong, I am so Grateful for this temporary house and I know that everything will work out and some day I WILL have a Home Sweet Home. (Oh and never move again) SMILE

Happy Birthday Kallie!!

For her birthday, Kallie asked for a Candy Land Party, a PINK Nintendo DS,and a Donut Cake. Well we improvised the Candy Land party to a candy movie night on the floor. I told her she couldn't have both. So she asked for the DS. (Smart girl)

We did 2 seperate get togethers for Kallie. Jim was working Swiss Days with Isaac and would miss her actual Birthday. So we opened presents Wed Night with all the family here, and then Friday her actual Birthday we did a candy night with the cousins.




MMMmmmm Donuts!



She was really surprised about the DS. When I brought it out all wrapped up.

She askes, What did you get me mom?
Me- What did you ask for?
Kallie- A Pink DS!
Me- Oh shoot, kallie! you did. Cuz those are really expensive and we can't afford it right now.
Kallie- It's ok mom! I can ask Santa to bring it at Christmas.
Me- Thanks Kallie for understanding, I know Santa will bring you one. (smile)

This is when she opens up a Barbie DS game and says, Oh cool. (Still not realizing what the real present is)


Expression--Priceless!


Our Candy/Movie night on the floor with the cousins.


Lovin Candy Night!



Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!

Housework Tea Towel


Lately I have been feeling this way, to put it bluntly. :)
But it would make a great housewarming gift as well. Don't you think? I would love it anyway!
