Happy Birthday Kael!

November 27, 2006

Two years ago my life changed. I thought that life couldn't get any better then it was. I was married to the most wonderful guy ever and we were so happy. On the morning on the 27th, Dan drove me to the hospital in the snow and at 2:18 a beautiful little boy was born. I never knew how much a 7 pound little life could change your whole world. From the moment he arrived he brought so much joy and love to us.

Kael at 2 1/2 weeks old:

I really can't believe that Kael is turning two on Thanksgiving. I still feel like he is my little baby, but in reality he isn't my baby anymore, he is my little boy. He is the best little boy ever. People ask me what I do all day long and I simply say, "I just sit around and watch Kael." Seriously, you think that it would get boring, but he never makes one minute dull. He is has the cutest little personality. He has his dad's good looks, but his mom's personality. He is not a shy boy at all. He will jabber to anyone, anywhere. Here are a couple of the cute things that he has done lately:

*Dan called me a couple days ago and was asking for a phone number. I started to say (801) and all the sudden I heard Kael say "789," I was laughing so hard that I could talk to Dan anymore.

*This one is my Favorite:***I was calling my mom and right before my mom answered the phone, Kael walked up to me, put his hand in the air, put is head down and said "ROCK ON."(he loves guitar hero.) When me mom answered the phone once again laughing so hard I could not breath.

*He has started being very, very loving lately. Throughout the day he will just come up and give me the biggest hug ever and say "hi mom," then he kisses me and runs off and plays. Seriously how to you get mad at him...

Kael I just want you to know how much I love you and how blessed me and your dad are to be your parents. You are such an amazing little boy. I hope that you have a great birthday. Love you Kael Bud!!!!

Family Pictures!!!!

We finally got our family pictures done. The last family picture that we had done was when Kael was 6 months old. One of my really good friends, Amanda Peterson, did these. I couldn't have asked for anything better. She does such an amazing job. You have seen her kids throughout my blog. Her little girl, Bailey, is Kael's girlfriend and her little boy, Baeu, is Kael's buddy. Amanda, thank you so much. I love them so much. I don't know how in the world I am going to choose from all of them.

Happy Halloween!!!!

This Halloween was so fun. Last year Kael didn't have a clue what was going on, so I was very excited for this year. I was the world's best mom and didn't decide what any of us were going to be until the day before. I kind of glad I didn't though, because everything just kind of fell into place. Kael was a monkey, I was a jungle girl, and Dan was Indiana Jones.

We went down to Delta on Halloween night. Dan's mom was having a party. We got down there and took Kael trick-or-treating. He loved it. He would run to the door, knock and then as soon as they opened the door we would run right inside the door and wait for the candy. He told everyone thank you for the candy and then before we left we would say, "Night, Night. See ya!" It was really cute.

When we got back we ate and played games. Everyone dressed up for the party. It was so much fun. Thanks Colleen for everything you did.

The Family.

(well, everybody that was there)

I had to show everybody this. My sister-in-law Ashley made these. They were made out of peanut butter and jelly. The bone was a pretzel and the finger nail was a slice of an almond. They were so cool, but I have to be honest, it really grossed me out to think about biting into it and thinking about the gooey jelly and the crunch on the pretzel.
