Pat-A-Cake!

Tonight my mom and dad were over and my mom was playing pat-a-cake with Kasen. She kept singing to song over and over to him. When she sang it to him again, he said "pat-a-cake" along with her. When she first told me that I thought NO WAY! Then she sang it again and he did it again. It sounded so funny.....imagine pat-a-cake mixed with alot of baby babbling.....so cute.

Madison's 1st Day Of Pre-K

Madison started Pre-K a couple of weeks ago. She attends her pre-k classes at Celebrations Child Care Ministry (the same place she goes to for daycare) So far she LOVES it. She was very excited today because they had a field trip to the library for story time! Too cute. Madison loves being at school and playing with all of her friends and classmates. She had grown up so much it the past year alone- not just physically but mentally as well. She is talking so grown up and the stuff she says just cracks us up......sometimes she sounds more like a teenager than a preschooler. She will always be our sweet baby girl. Hard to think that in a year she will be starting kindergarten...........now I feel old.

Baby Boy is Growing Up So Fast!

I find it so amazing when I look back at old pictures of my kids and see the changes in them everyday. It is hard to believe that he is almost 1!! He is such a happy little camper (and such a momma's boy- I'm lovin it!)

Silly Madison

Madison is soooooo funny sometimes, as you can see from the pictures. Sometimes she emerges from her bedroom in the craziest outfit combinations. She loves to play dress up. As you can see, she also likes to cram herself into boxes and baskets. Not a day passes that she doesn't give me a good laugh!

Madison's attempt at no training wheels

A couple of weeks ago, Madison asked us to remove her training wheels since she is such a "big girl." She tried several times, but still had trouble with trying to over-correct. After several tries (with us bent over running behind her, holding on to the seat) she said "Mommy, I think it is time to put the training wheels back on, I don't like this very much!" However, I did manage to get some cute pics of her with her new Barbie helmet, knee pads and elbow pads that Daddy picked out for her!

Here we go!!!

Welcome to our blog page! I decided to give this a try. I hope that this is a good way for our friends and family to stay updated on our busy lives! Madison is now 4 1/2 and Kasen will be 11 months old this week. I have no idea where time has gone. It makes me sad to think that my baby is almost one......especially considering that he is our last. However the best is yet to come.

Madison just started pre-k 2 weeks ago. She is so smart. She knows her alphabet and can count at least to 20 or so. She can write her first name very well and is learning how to write her last name and her phone number! She is such a good big sister to Kasen. She loves him to pieces! And she also has become very helpful around the house. She is our little princess no doubt.

Kasen is growing like a weed and it seems like he does something new each day. He has been crawling for quite some time and he loves to pull up and stand. He is cruising along furniture and trying to climb things. He is trying so hard to talk right now. He says Ma Ma and Da Da, and Ba (bottle). He loves to talk (mostly listen) on the phone. He gets the biggest smile and laugh if you put the phone to his ear. He is also clapping his hands (alot-especially in church today during prayer time!) and waving. He is such a laid back baby. He is seldom unhappy and is very easy to please (and a very good sleeper too :). He is also a VERY good eater. He is eating LOTS of table food. Today we were eating some leftover grilled chicken and he kept getting mad. I finally figured out that he was mad because we wern't giving him the bites fast enough...he kept biting my fingers!!!

Today we installed the new bike seat for him on my bike and went on a nice family bike ride. Kasen LOVED it! he wasn't too crazy about the helmet at first, but as soon as I took off riding he was just fine! It was such a beautiful day for a bike ride, about 75 degrees. Madison of course is doing great on her Barbie bike. She goes very fast though she still has her training wheels. She asked us to take them off a few weeks ago. We did and that didn't work out so hot. Needless to say, the training wheels are back on, but that is ok!

I think I have written a novel now, so I'll leave it at that and will post again later. I hope to keep you all updated as much as possible! Take Care!
