Pretty Pister

Promise I take pictures of Campbell too (just mostly on my IPhone) these are from 5-10-10. Just happened to have the camera handy, Kellan must not have been around ??
So hard to get her to smile on camera, just like brother, but regardless, she's still a doll !!

I know this pictures out of focus, but I just love the big-o slobber bubble.

On this day (5-11-10) while Elmo was babysitting Campbell, Kellan pulled his rocker over next to her, So stinkin sweet !!

Clearly he's explaining the story line to her.

Ok so I forgot about these I took of Campbell yesterday. Such a cutie pie !!

Money in hand ready to go shopping !!

Frog pool fun

Bibi and Pa bought Kellan a little blow up frog pool his first summer. He has never showed a bit of interest in it. Actually, i think he would scream bloody murder last year if we even suggested he try it out. One Monday a few weeks ago I decided to blow it up and fill it with water while he was napping. Daddy has decked out the open space under his swing set fort so now we have a perfect shady play space. When he woke up, and Pister went down I took him outside to check it out.
At first he just stared at it.
Then I told him he could splash, something he's not allowed to do in the bath tub.

Then he got his feet in, and slipped so he was all wet.

Then it was on!!

And its been a daily hit ever since. Weather permitting we are out there daily.

He had to take a break to cruise in his bubble car.

Then back in the pool, with no shorts ??

Snack break, Lightning juice and applegrapes (what he calls em).

What been going on around here

Well its been a while since I've made time to blog. Not sure why I can't seem to find the time ?? Since last post, being Kellan's birthday, lot has happened (not really)! Kellan is a typical 2 year old. He talks all day loonnggggggg! He tells little stories about whats going on in his life. And really likes to explain the world to Pister. Brady says he reminds him of my dad (so does, & so sweet) the way he tells stories, he gets his forehead all wrinkled up and shakes his head up and down while he talks.

At his 2 year check up, Kellan still out weighs most 9month olds at 22 lbs, but is pretty tall. Campbell is near half his weight at 13 lbs and is super tall almost 26 inches.

My goal for Campbell @ 4 months old was getting her to take naps in her crib. It all starting out ok, but then we got side-tracked when she got an ear infection, poor baby, then all was out the window, poor thing just couldn't get comfortable. Since that has cleared up, we've been back on track and she's successfully been crib-napping May 1st ish !! Makes a world of difference in every ones life when both babies do all their sleeping in their cribs!!

Campbell rolls over like a champ, prefers to sleep that way. She's a wild women in the exersaucer and can even touch the bottom (couldn't 1 month ago). Its hard to believe she will be 6 months old soon, my where does the time go?

Anyways here's a few pictures of the last month or so.

Kellan really likes to help mommy cook, most nights are spent with him sitting on the island with a bowl saying "stir stir stir". This particular night Pister wanted to help too. They are making dumplings!

Kellan being a goof at lunch time with Lighting noodle juice all over his face.

Frito's with noodle ?? Not sure what I was thinking ??

Pister sitting pretty. Notice she still has her perfect "curl hawk" So cute !!

Here he is tellin Pister all about it, and she just listens to him like its the most important thing she's ever heard (probably is).

Not sure why it went bad, but it did.

More Birthday Pictures

Ok, so in addition to Kellan's birthday party we celebrated the actual day with a dinner at his favorite place, Kyoto. One might ask how a 2 years old could possible love a Japanese Steak House so much, well........It has been an almost weekly fav of mommy and daddies since long before Kellan was even eating solids. So he's just grown to love it. Its gottin so bad that when we pull into the parking lot Kellan says "noodle", that's what he calls it, cause that's what he eats. Also one evening as he lead us in "Ah-men" the little boy was so kind to bless "mommy, daddy, & noodle" And its not just about the noodle, he drinks the soup through a straw (Bibi taught him that one) picks the sticky rice of my sushi rolls, found the love for the Chatubreon (no clue how to spell it, but its really fancy steak)(thanks uncle Kelly, its near the most expensive thing on the menu) and his latest love is "dip dip" the salad in the ginger sauce for the meat ??? Anyways, week after week we sit and sing and clap and chant "Hey Hey" for every one else birthday. I think its must be one of the most popular birthday dinner spots ever. So I figured we needed to start a tradition and take Kellan there for his big day. It was a true hit. He really got a kick out of every one singing and chanting for him for a change. Now on with the pictures. All his fav peeps, cousin Ah-me (Macey), Bay-be (Bailey), Haley, he can actually say her name correctly ???, and Bubba (Spencer's nick name).

Aunt Rah-Rah (Robin self made nick name) & Uncle Toddy

Pa, Bibi, Aunt Pad-dy (Patti), Uncle Mark & daddy

Bailey feeding Kellan lemon!

The birthday singing crew.

One last present, as if he needed any thing else, but he really likes to help daddy drill things.

Kellan's 2nd Birthday Party

Not sure how it happened, but momma forgot to send out Kellan's birthday party (3-27-10)pictures so I'm back dated this post so I don't get my blog unorganized.
I think anyone who knows my boy, can probably guess his party was Car themed. Kellan (and daddy) is a caraholic (as is daddy). Even before seeing the Disney movie Cars, Kellan has found the love for Lightning, Chicks, Mater, Limo, Vern, and so on and on, I (he) could go on for days !! We were so blessed for great weather and lots of good family and friends to join us in the celebration. This year Kellan really got into the whole thing. The morning of, Kellan just woke up and discovered Mater was on the cupcakes (I made,by the way).

This is what happens when daddy is in charge!! Way to teach em!!

All the cupcakes are frosted (pat on the back for momma).

Lightning cake Aunt Rah-Rah (Brady's sis) made ! Awesome !!

Kellan knew exactly what to do when it came time to blow out the candles.

Little miss Dovie..... her cupcake fell in the grass, but that didn't stop her. What us girls will do for chocolate!!

Present time, and guess what?? He got cars and cars and even more cars!! And many other goodies. I was greatful for all the non-cars, just sayin!!

It was my cousin's Devon and Sammy's 3rd birthday the weekend before so they got a few presents of there own. She was so rockin it out with her new keyboard and mic.

Kellan helped himself to cousin Devon's birthday drill and fixed momma's bubba cooler, didn't know it was broke!!

My big bro Scott and his son, my nephew Jordan enjoying chill time with Campbell. You can't really see in the picture but Campbell has on a Cars dress with matching hair bow. So cute !!

Cousin Mark and his twins Devon and Samantha, both of which are being silly!

Finally time to play with all the loot. Kellan was being such a big boy and shared his toys with his BFF Tyler who just happened to be in town from St. Loius.

March 31......a day that will never be the same

March 31 is a day I will never, ever forget. Two years ago on that day my sweet boy came into this world. And man, what an awesome journey its been ever since.
