Happy Birthday!


Can you believe our little boy is a year old today. What a year! It has been an amazing year. Christian is ALL boy. I look back and wonder how he has survived. He goes for everything full force, tackling what ever is in his way. I cant even begin to count all the bumps and falls he has had. Every week is a new injury. A helmet would probably be a good investment for this kid.
Christian is such a happy boy. He loves to chase Kayla (which is not always a good thing). He loves to be outside and throws himself down screaming when he cant go outside (thankfully he has not figured out the doggie door). Christian does not like the water as much as Kayla did at his age. Instead, he is drawn to rocks and dirt. Yes, ALL boy. Christian is starting to talk and express his wants and dislikes. He has started saying a few words like yes, done, and ball.

Happy Birthday Christian!!!

Birthdays and Ballet

This weekend was filled with Christian's birthday party with the family and Kayla's ballet recital. What a day. The day started at 8am...getiing Kayla ready for recital practice, 9am....recital practice, 11am....family birthday party, 2pm....get Kayla ready for recital, 3pm....recital, and went to bed at 2:30am. Why? It was a busy day but a good day. Most of our family was there. It was really nice to share these special events with the people we love. Thank you for all those that could make it and we sure missed those that were not able to attend.

A girl who knows what she wants.

While putting Christian to bed, I heard Kayla downstairs rummaging through the kitchen. I did not think much about it. I figured she was grabbing a toy from her toy cabinet or maybe some goldfish. To my surprise, my little girl was sitting on the couch butt naked eating ice cream straight from the carton.

Bowling for the First Time

On Monday, Kayla had a playdate at the local bowling alley. It was the first time she had ever been bowling, and she was oh-so excited to go.

Kayla thought it was great, she got to put on the ever-popular bowling shoes. Christian wanted to play and walk down to the pins. He gave it his best shot, but I think he is still a little too young. Kayla picked out her ball (of course she wanted the pink but it was to heavy). One of the workers brought out a ramp, where the kids could just roll the ball down and he put the automated bumpers up. All the kids got so excited when they knocked down a pin.

As a testament to my awful bowling, Kayla beat my normal score! She’s a 3 year old, who had never bowled, getting a higher score than what her ol’ mom normally scores! Guess I need to work on my bowling game-in my spare time.

It is so fun to see your child enjoy something, and just have 100% fun. Even if I am an awful bowler, it was still the best time I ever had at the bowling alley. This will definantly be something we do again.
