Through the eyes of kids

It never ceases to amaze me how little ones learn and grow every day. Driving through town today and listening to Kailer really made me think of what the world must be like in his mind. Things that I take for granted his little ears pick up. He hears a train going through town and he yells VROOM VROOM, he hears a car honk a horn and he says BEEP BEEP. These are things that I wouldn't think twice about, yet he finds fascinating. He is learning more and more every day. He's learned to show us and expect kisses for his owies, he's learned to climb up the swingset, he's also learned new words left and right, hot (hotee) water (watee) bottle, milk (mil) hello (Hewoooooo) Love You (Wuv Oooo) Oh No, Yucky, Ewwwwwww (usually while we change a poopy diaper or while holding a piece of dog poop for me to see UGH), Go (says this when he wants to leave and points at or walks toward the van) , eat, hungry (hungee), Hi puppy, Hi baby ( he LOVES to pack baby dolls around), eio efg tuv (trying to sing the alphabet), he also says efg or eio while pointing at letters and numbers, opens the fridge constantly as of last weekend, loves to help me clean and do laundry, tries to put clean dish towels away although usually they get put in the dirty laundry baskets so I have to watch him carefully, laughs at himself just to see if we'll laugh, and fake laughs at things that he thinks we'll think are funny whether it's something on tv or a picture on my computer. There is probably tons more I am missing but these are a few of the new things he's doing.... he's turning into a "toddler" instead of my baby :( Oh yes he says ni ni for night night and lays hi head down to pretend to go to sleep. He also has learned many things from his big brother that I wouldn't think 21mo old boys should know.... LOVES to play swords, shoot guns, and just be a BOY. Also loves spiderman (says it bie eeee) LOL

This weekend we painted our kitchen and two weekends ago we painted our laundry room and mudroom area of the house. I LOVE the way they turned out and would love to show you some pics but my lil man decided to practice his photography while we were mid painting and now my camera is nowhere to be found :p Still have a few places to search but I'm getting a bit discouraged that it hasn't been found yet :( I did take pics from Sat off of the camera before it was lost so I'll share some of those here. Thursday we were in the youth parade for Sage N Sun. The boys dressed up as Construction workers as the theme was spirit of the northwest. Kaeden had fun walking and throwing candy to the people on the sides of the road, he did ride in the wagon off and on as well. Gave Kai a sucker and he sat content in the wagon the whole time! We walked with our MOPS group and it was lots of fun. After the parade they had popsicles at the courthouse and then we took the boys over to the carnival to spend a small fortune on a handful of rides. Kailer rode his first rides and I didn't have my camera with me and missed pics of his first carnival ride. He rode on an airplane type thing with Kaeden and then on the motorcycles with Kaeden and had a blast! Kaeden also rode the roller coaster with Daddy and then they braved the Parachutes or whatever they were called, I call them the Umbrella's. HUGE ride that would make me vomit (Actually I DID vomit on that ride on my Daddy when I was 3 LOL) Kaeden absolutely LOVED it and Daddy and him went ahead and went on that ride one more time Sat afternoon ;) I took the camera this time and put out a few extra bucks to put Kai and Kaeden on that airplane ride again just so I could snap some pics ;) Kaeden is pouting in the pics cause he didn't want to ride that one, he wanted the roller coaster, but unfortunately Kai couldn't go on that one with him. Thurs night we also let the boys play a couple games and win a couple dinky prizes. It was a fun evening and the quickest $40 I've spent on absolutely nothing in a long time!

Sat afternoon we went to Ross's boys birthday party. Eli turned 7 June 7th, Lucas turned 2 June 10th and Issac turned 1 June 10th. It was a cute party and even with the rain that wouldn't go away the kids had a wonderful time. Kailer found himself the cutest lil girlfriend and Steven was in love with her too..... almost makes us want another... Almost.... LOL

Last week my Mom came up and visited for an evening and it was great to see her again. I sure miss her sometimes! I love when she gets to come and play with my boys, they sure love their Grandma!!! We got some cute pics of them playing outside in the water. Well time to go clean up house and relax for a bit, here are some pics....
