Swimming

On Halloween, we stayed at a hotel so the boys (Kade & Ikie) could go swimming. SWIM they did and LOVED it. We had a great night, they swam, went Trick or Treating, and then we went out to eat at Space Aliens.

Looks like the daddies make good swim instructors!

Ok, scratch that comment!!
Definitely a FISHer...ha!

Halloween 2009~A Monkey and a giraffe!

Here is our little "monkey"! Kade had a great Halloween and spent it with Isaac, the "Giraffe". They were both on their best behaviors and got to go through the mall on their "Trick or Treating" mission.

Dad, Really, do I HAVE to do this??The Giraffe, doesn't look too enthusiastic either~ha!

I hope this monkey doesn't attack giraffes!

Eating a sucker with Aunt Terri...

Kade and Isaac~Best Buds!

Well it's been a while since my last blog **Sorry**
We've been having a lot of fun lately and really starting to see Kade grow and become a social little butterfly (most days anyways). Some days he can give you a dirty little look and become offended that you would even speak to him~the nerve mommy~ Sheesh!
Anyways, it has been the most fun to see Kade and Isaac now interacting. They are best of friends and Kade loves to chant "Ikie's Ouse" "Ikie's Ouse" when we get in the car, even though we are not always going to Ikies house.

It all starts with two super cute and innocent looking toddlers...

Then in about 1/3rd of a second, TROUBLE starts brewing...

Throwing toys down the stairs ...Jumping on their toys...They go from super happy...To a super meltdown, when we least expect it...But who can stay mad at this toddler duo?

They use their cuteness as a weapon against mommy/daddy...They are inseperable and even go out trick or treating together! Kade was a monkey and Isaac a giraffe. One day they will forgive us~ha!Now they get into big tiffs. No matter what it is, if one of them has a toy, the other runs to take it out of their hand and then the fightin' begins. I believe Kade is eyeballing Isaac's toy here and is getting ready to pounce. We are teaching "sharing" and they actually are doing pretty good. The biggest fights involve sippy cups of milk. Kade posing long enough for a picture as he fights for Isaac's bear... At the end of the day, they are best buds again and talk over the days events while snacking on cheeto puffs.

We are very excited to watch their little relationship grow!!!

G-Ma Penny!

Kade was very excited as Grandma Penny came for a visit. She got to stay for a really long time, like 5 days! This is pretty groovy stuff for Kade... and for mommy and daddy too. We had A LOT of fun and, as always, were sad to see her go.

Horsie Rides!

Of course we HAVE to play w/Doris the duck and his regular 'ole Duckie. Here is Grandma and Kade playing "chase" with the duckies. Looks like Kade wasn't sharing Doris, kept her all to himself!We don't get to see the Grandpas and Grandmas nearly as much as we want to. It was fun to have them come even before we had Kade, but now to see his face light up when we say Grandma or Grandpa is coming, is just priceless! We are looking forward to this weekend, when Grandma Nancy will be coming over!

Ok, I have ALOT of blogging about Halloween and Isaac/Kade escapads, but have been busy chasing my monkey all over. He has gotten SO BIG these last couple of weeks even. Now if you ask him where something is he says, "RIGHT THERE". He can count to 10 and even can pick out number when you show him. Uncle Shawn bought him tub fishies, that each have a number from 1-10 on it and they stick to the tub. So now Kade grabs one and says...seben, well what the heck, it was a seven! I sometimes want to keep him a little 3 month old, but NOPE, he's not having it. He is so big and I'm so proud of all his accomplishments!
He loves the water, here he is SWIMMING in the tub, not so fun when he starts 'SPWASCHWING MOMMA, SPWASCHWING!!!

I'll post much more later...PROMISE!
