Fun, FuN, FUN!

William, Christian, Thomas, Kevan, Kaleb & Henry...
the
Backyardigans!

Dylan is
having a ball!

Here's ANOTHER slide show (I can't sleep... too excited to go home, I guess) of my little guys doing what they do best... have fun! Kaleb has reached the stage of, "Mommy, can I have a friend over?" He loves his friends and baby brother, too! Dylan got in on the fun last week and had his first play date with baby Trevor who's just a few weeks older than he is. Tonight after a fun night at the Barkers, Kaleb cried all the way home... he just wanted to stay with his friends and of course, not go to bed. I'm so happy our boys are close in age so they'll always have a buddy to play with.

I Love This...

I have a feeling our boys will be drug to many a service project, social, and family reunion throughout their lives...just like we were when we were young. Gotta love it...thanks for sharing, Ronda!

PHOTO SHOOT!

Last Saturday we had our friend, Cindy, take pictures of the boys. K had a sinus infection & Dylan well, you know how teething goes. We almost cancelled, but decided to go with it and see how they did. Kids are always unpredictable, right? Kaleb was shy at first, obsessed with a Mater ride on, and pretty uncooperative all the way around. Dylan woke up early and was ready for a nap, but Cindy somehow managed to get some pretty amazing shots anyway! She just posted some on her blog, so check them out!

PS---Please ignore Mom & Dad who are not photogenic and weren't planning on being in the pictures. :)

Bri's Shower!

So I've been meaning to blog about this for awhile... we honored Bri & baby Drew this month and threw her a little shower. It was just nice & relaxed...close friends & family only. We talked, we ate, we opened presents, and then we talked and ate some more! It was really nice and the time just flew by. We finished the fun day by walking over to Bri & Tony's to check out Drew's adorable nursery. Truly a labor of love!

We love you, Breezy & can't wait to see that cute babe of yours!!!

All Day Long, It's Somebody's Birthday!

Birthday Bliss!!!

Kaleb has been REALLY into birthdays this year, and could hardly wait until it was his own! Although he hasn't been feeling well on & off this whole week, he still had a total blast. We celebrated early in the morning with presents from the fam. We got him a swing set, and when he saw the picture on the box, Ben asked him what it was..."A park!" he said. He loves it, of course!

We then had his first kid party with his friends at a real park. We went to a local one with a splash pad and the kiddos all had a great time! What could be better than friends, cupcakes, popscicles, & presents? His friends loved their goodie bags and everyone lingered longer than the time we had planned...fun times had by all! Kaleb would have stayed all day if we'd let him.

We feel so blessed to have such a fun & healthy little BIG boy! Kaleb Benjamin makes our day brighter each and every day. Happy 3rd Birthday, son...we REALLY love you!!!

Pick Me UP

So my friend, Mon, sent me this fun email yesterday. If you ever need a little pick me up, here's what you do. Send the following to all your closest girlfriends & choice family members (the ones you know will only say fab things about you and not remind you that you used to be called Sara Snot). Then sit back, relax, and watch all the fun compliments start rolling in. It's interesting to see how other people perceive you, the rich vocabulary your friends have, and it's nice to get a "report card" every once in a while.

Describe ME in one word.... just one single word. Send it to me and to me only. Then send this message to all your friends and see how many strange & interesting things they say about you.

This is really fun(ny). Here's how to Play:

1. Hit the reply key and send me my one word.

2. Then return to this message, and forward it to your friends (including me)

and see what people say about you when limited to one word!!!

The Game is On!!!!!

My favorites so far: SUNSHINEY & EXUBERANT.

Thanks for the compliments, my friends!
