Cupcake

After Kade's first or second soccer practice somebody handed out cupcakes. They gave one to Connor and this is what he ended up looking like. It must have been a really good cupcake.

 

The River

Right before school started we went out to the river, past Boulder City. The boys love going boating with everyone.

 

Here are the boys watching Jeff try to catch a fish. No luck! I think, if I remember right, he broke he string and wasn't able to fish anymore. Bummer!!

 

 

Little Connor

 



 

Kyle and Kade's back :)

Kade

 



This is what little Cam did practically the entire time.

He looks so relaxed with his little feet on the side :)

 



 

We found this little area. Eric swam over to walk on the ground. When he was swimming he loked down and told us there was a ton of fish. I thought that was cool so I swam over. There was a TON of fish. I was worried that they would bite my feet so I swam back to the boat. However, almost everyone, including Kyle was over looking at all the fish.

 



 

We always have so much fun going out to the river. Thanks everyone that took us and went with us!! We look forward to next summer :)

Kyle's First Swim

During the summer we had a playgroup at a swimming pool. I had all of the boys' life jackets so that nothing too bad would happen. I knew Kade would get in and swim around, but I didn't think the other two would. Next thing I notice Kyle is in the pool hanging to the sides, but trying to swim. Right after that he was swimming in the middle of the pool having a great time. Now, as long as he has his life jacket on, he will go swimming all around the pool.

 

 

Kyle is in the green jacket and Kade is in the red jacket. You can also see Connor sitting on the stairs with his red/blue life jacket on.

 



 

They had a really fun time!!

Kyle's picture

One day I was letting the boys draw. When I looked at Kyle's this is what I saw. This was his first picture of a person. He was saying "here is his mouth and his hair and his ears". He did a great job for his first time. What a cute little drawing!!!

 

Kindergarten

Kade started Kindergarten this year. He was so excited!!! I think he was a little nervous too but he acted brave and said he wasn't. Everyday Kade has to go through this gate to the "Kindergarten Playground". Parents are not allowed to go through the gates.



 

 

Here are Kade and Kyle saying bye, as loud as they can, to Kade. The boys have such a great example to look up too. If I were them I would think I was lucky to have such a great, big brother!!

 

 



We took some more pictures of Kade after we got home.

 He had a fabulous first day!!!



Kyle's first day of being the "big brother".

 



 

We are so proud of Kade!!! We know he will do amazing in school!!

Funny Stories!!!

*One day the boys and I went to Meineke to get the brakes fixed. We had to waste an hour so we walked up to Targe. It was kind of a long walk, especially for a little boy. When we were walking back Kyle was having a really hard time. He was tired and just wanted to sit down. He starts saying, through his tears and whine, "I can't walk myself". I just chuckled to myself because that sounded so funny. We soon arrived back at Meineke and I guess he could "walk himself" because he made it :)

 

**Kyle decided he was hungry so he figured he could pour some applesauce into a bowl all by himself. Well, he did and it was filled all the way to the top. I rolled my eyes and hoped he wouldn't spill it. Of course he didn't eat all of it so Connor decided he wanted some. For some reason he decided when he was done to drop it on the floor. It got everywhere on the floor. I was really upset but I wiped it all up. However, when Kade came into the house one of the first things he said was "Mom, what is that on the wall and the light?" Connor managed to get applesauce all over the wall and on the lampshade. Connor is definitely starting the "messy" stage that Kyle just finished with. I guess that is what happens when we have two boys only fifteen months apart.

 

***Earlier in the day Kade was reading a letter book. It talked about a camel being in the desert. Later on when we were driving I said something about living in a desert. Kade thought we did not live in a desert because there are no camels. We kept having this conversation that Las Vegas is a desert, but Kade thinking it is not a desert. So, we called Uncle Jeff and he also told Kade that Las Vegas is a desert. Silly boy!! We already have a smarty pants in our family :)

 

****The other day it was raining really hard. After we thought it had stopped the boys wanted to go outside and play. Several minutes later I hear it raining again. I go outside to find the boys absolutely soaked. I told them they needed to come inside and change their clothes. I am such a party pooper, but I hope they had fun playing in the rain.

*****One day I was putting Kyle and Connor down for a nap. Kyle kept talking and talking. He made me laugh when he said "mom, when I was born I put on my Santa suit." Really, Buddy? He is so infatuated with his Santa suit. I just hope he doesn't have to wear it again Trick or Treating this year.

***We were standing in the checkout lane at Walmart when Kyle says, "Mom that lady has big ones!" I was thinking "well this is embarrassing. What in the world is he talking about?" Finally he said something about her fingernails. They were super long. Instead of saying long he said big. Made me laugh once I realized what he was talking about.

***This is not a funny story (even though Eric think it is). I went to pick up my vacuum from getting fixed. I told Kade to stay in the car while I went in. Well, he didn't. After we arrived home I went to get Cam out of the car. He was soaked. How in the world did he get so wet? I smelled him and he smelled like pee. Kyle decided to pee on him while I was in the vacuum store. He tried blaming it on Connor, but Connor was buckled in his car seat. Kade was also in a little bit of trouble because if he had of stayed in the car like I asked him to Kyle never would have done that. A few days later I found Kyle peeing in Chloe's food bowl. Oh the joys of having little boys :)

***I don't know what it is with the boys and their peeing, but here another story about that. One Wednesday night we were at Kade's soccer practice. I was trying to watch Kade and make sure the other two were close by and safe. I turned around to see where Connor was. When I found him he had his pants and undies pulled half way down and was peeing on the grass. The people that noticed him before me were just laughing and saying "hey, its nature!" Later I noticed Kyle was up talking to a man. Connor was right behind him. When I called them they wouldn't come so I had to walk up the hill to get them. As I came closer the man I noticed he had a little white mustache and beard. He had some teeth missing. The first thing he said to me was "Your son thinks I am Santa". I think it is funny how little kids perceive things, even little Kyle. He is so infatuated with Santa.

More to come as I remember them....

Cam at 4 months

We love this little guy!!! He makes the most adorable little noises/sounds. I am going to try to get them on video so everyone can see just how adorable he is.

 

Here are some cute pictures of some of his many facial expressions at 15 weeks, almost 4 months.

 

Starting to smile :)

 

 

 

 

Kade's Pictures of his "houses"

Kade LOVES to build houses and make "garages for all of his cars. After he is done he likes to grab my phone and take pictures of his creations.

 

Here are his cars before they have a "home".

 

Building his "home".

 

This one is a mansion.

 

He also had to take a couple pictures of Kyle by his map.

One of Chloe.

 

Pictures of some of the "garages" with his cars and trucks inside.

 

One of Connor.

 

I am glad Kade likes to use his imagination!!!

I am also glad he likes to play "cars" with his little brothers!
