We Love Friends :)

Kael loves to play with kids. You can tell that he takes after me and not his dad when it comes to hanging out. He is just a very social boy. It seems like we always have kids over here or we are somewhere else playing with kids and we both love it. Here are some pics that we have taken throughout the week of some of his friends.

Bailey and Kael:

Here is Bailey. Kael thinks that shes his girlfriend.

Beau and Kael:

Beau is Bailey's brother and one of the few boys Kael plays with. They are going to be buddies. They are only 6 months apart.

Sierra and Amanda:

Kael loves these girls. They are his cousins.

Abby and Aaron:

These are our neighbors. Kael loves to play with them outside.

Clean up, Clean up!

I asked Kael the other day to pick up his toys from the front room. We were going to his cousins house and I told him that he couldn't go until his toys were picked up. I was in the bathroom getting ready. When I was done I walked out and noticed that all of the toys were picked up. He had pushed his truck all around the front room and picked up all of his toys and loaded and hauled them into his bedroom. It was so cute. It is crazy how little boys think.

22 YEARS

Last Saturday it was 22 years since Dan's dad passed away. It is crazy how time flys. We had plans of going to the cemetery and seeing the grave, but Saturday got way to busy. So on Sunday we went to Salem with Dan's two brothers and their families. We just got to sit, visit, and relax.

Bill we miss and love you so much and can not wait to be with you again.

This picture was taken a week before Bill passed away.

L to R: Shaun, Will, Colleen, Ben, Bill, Zach, Dan, Jared (on the floor).

(I hope I got all the right names with faces!)

I usually don't like to post pics of me, but Kael was so dang cute in this picture. Love ya Kael!!!!

Weekend of Fun!

Last weekend Danni and Kip came to stay with us. We were so excited. Kip had to do Army stuff during the day so Danni got to hang out with us. Saturday night when Kip got back we went to Cafe Rio :) and then played games at our house. Zac and Kami also eat and played games with us.




Kael loves Zach and Zach is so good to play with him.

So Tired

This is when Kael was sick. I couldn't even get him to eat his cheese and noodles. He was so tired.

NOODLES!!

Kael has been sick the last couple of days. It feels like he has not been healthy for a really long time. We took him to the doctor yesterday and he has a ear and eye infection. The only thing that has made him happy is his noodles. Yes, this is his favorite food. Actually, he loves anything with noodles in it. He will eat a whole package by himself. So how about the spiky hairdo? I watch a little boy in the mornings and we had to get him ready for school and put him on the bus. I was doing the little boys hair when Kael came running in and said "my hair, my hair." So we put some gel in it and gave him the spiky look. Here are some pics of him lovin his Noodles!

My Shopping Boy

My sister Jill came up on Friday to do some shopping and then we were going to get Tyler's six month pictures done. We had been shopping for awhile, when Kael finally decided that he was done and fell asleep. He was out cold. If you notice he is holding his football shirt that I had just bought him in his hands. I let him pick out a shirt and he want this one because it had a bootball, ("football") on it. He had to hold on to it the entire time. I guess he really liked it. Thanks Jill and Tyler for such a fun day.

My Hair

So for those of you that know me well, you know that I have only colored my hair once and I did it just a shade darker so it wasn't even that noticeable. Well my sister-in-law does my hair and finally talked me into putting some highlights in it. I have just been feeling so blah lately and I know that I needed a change so we went for it. I love it. I love the way Shannon does my hair, she is amazing.

Please just look at my hair in the picture, because the self portrait is not very cute.

Labor Day Weekend

I don't usually do journal entries but we had a very eventful weekend and I didn't really get a lot of pics so I will just tell you about it. We went home for the 3 day weekend. (Imagine that:)) We started off by going to Holden Friday night. The traffic was horrible we thought that we were never going to get there. The past couple of weeks Kael has been a little talking machine. You can understand some of it but for the most part I have to be his translator. So the whole two hours in the car Kael talked the entire time. I was kind of upset because I had been bragging him up and was telling everyone that he talked so much, and I just knew that went we got to grandmas he probably wouldn't say anything because he was tired of talking. Boy was I wrong. I don't think he ever stopped talking until he finally went to bed.

Saturday night we had a big night planned with Jim and Tracie and their kids and some other friends. Now that we are all moved away we don't get together much. We were supposed to have a dinner and then go play softball. Well a few hours before dinner the power went out. Thanks to Camp Chiefs and Dutch Ovens we were still able to have dinner and it was really yummy. After we ate dinner we were sitting outside when it started to rain. Just our luck. We all went inside and were still able to sit and visit with everyone. The night was still super fun, just a little different then we had planned.

Sunday we said our goodbyes in Holden and headed for Delta. Kael loves going to Delta. We always know that there will be cousins to play with when we get there. We all just hung out and visited that night. Oh ya, the boys thought that they would have a weight lifting competition with Kole's new weights. They all thought that they were pretty tough, and for the most part they all really were. Monday was the big opening day of the Dove Hunt. All the boys woke up and went out to go hunt. From what I saw it was a great success.

Here are some pics from the weekend.

Kael just having a conversation with Grandpa.

Aunt Danni was rubbing Grandpa's back and Kael thought that we would help her.

Kael and Uncle Maben

Kael and Cousin Tyler

Kael and Drake with their capes.

This one is my favorite. All 7 of the boys thought they were pretty tough. Little did they know how though their mother was.
