10 Hours and Counting

Kaleb has slept 10.5 Hours and counting well, I don't think I'm counting anymore...Gab just brought him to the living room. My baby has slept three nights in a row and it seems to get longer and longer. I'm so excited. I just had to share.

She Freaked Me Out

Kaden and I were looking at pictures on face book of people he may know and he saw Natalie and said "Who is that" I said "Natalie and Mrs. Julie". Kaden replied I don't like Natalie she freaks me out". I asked him "What, Why"? Kaden said "I talk to her and she says something and it just freaks me out". It ended well...I just thought it was funny.

Long Day

Today might have been one of the longest days. It started at a 6 o'clock wake up because we had to get the kids ready for an early breakfast date with Leslie (major funny woman...Love her), a coworker of Corey's at PLNU. She works remotely from Ohio and so she is out on a business trip. We had a delightful/creative commentary from Kaden breakfast. It was great...the waitress came over to take our drink order and Kaden tips over his coffee cup and said "Please". After she brought our drinks and began to order Corey ordered pancakes, Leslie ordered French toast with scrumptious strawberries; I ordered the same but with eggs, bacon and sausage (for Kaden). Our food came minutes later and we were all sitting around the table chatting and I was putting part of our food onto Kaden's plate. I put the eggs, bacon, a piece of French toast and Corey put part of a pancake (by now Kadens plate was overflowing with breakfast food). I love the fact that a 4 year old has more food than a grown construction worker could eat, and is still asking for more. Kaden was asking me for a "hotdog" (the sausage), and I told him that "I didn't think that he would like it", he said "I do I do like hotdogs, I will like it". So I passed one over and sure enough he did, color me surprised. Later on after we had all finished our breakfast and we were just chillin' when and Kaden was playing with his tiny bear (he was laying the bear on his back and putting a glass over the belly and when he pulled the glass off it made the bear have a pot belly so Kaden said "Look my bear is having a baby, fix it". I then replied "honey the bear isn’t having a baby and you can't fix it" My crazy kid.

On our way home I had decided this morning would be a great morning to call Kaden's preschool next year so we could tour it. I called Corey and he sent me the numbers. Kaden and I got tired of waiting and so Kaden said "Mommy lets go get some coffee...We need Coffee". I laughed and said "no we are just going to wait for daddy to call us back" Kaden replied "No mommy we need Coffee". So we went to Starbucks...Like he really needed to twist my arm.

It is about 12 and we were headed up to Lyn, Ethan and Jacobs’s house. Kaleb had cried the whole way and Kaden just kept saying "mom he is killing me, he hurting my ears". Oh my poor boys. We get up to the house and Ethan and Jacob just love to hold Kaleb (it is the sweetest thing ever). All Ethan wanted to do is feed Kaleb.

The kids began to play and Ethan and Kaden were outside (Jacob was taking a nap). Ethan came in the house while his mom was on the phone and asked to play with the water. She told him no and he just kept asking over and over again. She said he could put a little water on the shovel. Ethan ran outside and grab the hose and started putting water on the shovel (that Kaden was holding) and proceeded to squirt Kaden up and down (it wasn't too bad). Poor Lyn ran outside and got the hose away from Ethan. The whole time Kaleb slept on the counter calm as can be. It is amazing what this kid can sleep through. To say the least, it was an event filled afternoon with the Anderson's when he got ready to head home.

Finally after a 35-40 min car ride home, both boys were asleep - Hip hip hooray. It was so peaceful - I could have fallen asleep (almost did a minute or two (wait I'm home how did that happen). We got home and I woke the kids up....Can I just say I'm loving that pic. We get upstairs and Kaden ran outside to find his honey. I gotta tell you what is up with the honey.

Corey came home and the first thing Kaden said was "Dad come get me the honey" Corey said "what honey", Kaden replied as he is running outside "I will show ya". He grabs a bee comes back inside and said "SQUEEZE it Dad", Corey said "squeeze what?" (mind you Corey is trying to cook dinner so he really isn't paying attention - you know guys and their waffle brains...only one thing at a time). So Kaden starts to tell his daddy "I want some honey, squeeze this bee". Corey yelled "KADEN drop the bee you will get stung, even if it is dead". Man a lotta ruckus over a lil bee.

And then I was off to Bible Study...what a day.

Another Great Night

Kaleb slept all the way through the night again, sweet lil guy. I have to tell you guys this little baby makes me want a dozen more. I just look at the sweet little face and he is just so funny (I think he is alrady falling into his brothers footsteps). His face is so expressionate, and his face does the best thing when he looks at the blinds behind the big couch. It is so great. Looking at this little boys face just filles my heart with so much love I can't stand it. It doesn't hurt that he slept all the way through the night again....LOVE IT =]
The picture kinda shows it, but you really need to see it in person. His eyes are so crossed and then he makes this O shape with his mouth. He isn't doing that right now but we will try and get a better shot. You will love it too.

I Killed a Bee Where's the Honey

Kaden came running into the house saying "Mom I killed a bee and now I want the honey" I asked him "what do you mean" he replied "I was so brave I killed the bee and the stinger and now I want the honey", I then told him "babe the bee has to be alive to get honey. They make the honey and we eat it, if you kill the bee they can't make the honey". Kaden then told me " Yes you can all you have to do is just squeeze the bee and you get the honey out of the bees belly, mom go squeeze the bee PLEASE". I told him that his daddy was the man of the house and he had to do it. HAHAHA = ] poor Corey look what he has to come home to.

WHAT??

Today has been a hilarious day. Kaden has said funny thing after funny thing. Here are a few thing that I could remember...

It all started with Gab staying home sick and Monica meeting up with us. We were on our way to see High School Musical 3 at a 12:15 showing. So we bought the tickets and we (Monica, Gab, Kaden, Kaleb and I) were running to find seats and Kaden was just so excited. It is fun to see your child sitting in those pull-down blue crusty seats with his imagination ready to explore all this movie has to offer and then he looks at you and says "Mom, I have to go potty". I then asked him "can you wait". Gab and Monica were getting drinks and popcorn and I was sitting with Kaden and Kaleb was in my lap in the snugly. I wasn't in the best position to get up and take him to the bathroom (besides we would have lost our stellar seats). Monica and Gab came back the movie started and he forgot he even had to go.

During the movie Kaden was up and down and was turning all around all over the place. He was killing me. I felt like I had that annoying kid that just wouldn't stop. So we were all sharing popcorn and Monica kept filling up Kaden's lap. Kaden would finish the popcorn that was on his lap and he would say "I need the tub". Monica kept telling him "no, we are all sharing and your popcorn is in your lap". Then Kaden said "NO I need the tub". A little time had passed and Gab and Monica finished all that they wanted from the popcorn tub and Monica handed it to Kaden. Kaden was so excited that he finally had the tub. He started dropping his head into the whole tub. It was a great picture I just wished I hadn't forgotten my camera.

Later on that night...

Monica, Laura, Gab, Kaden and I were at the dinner table and Corey was late, he got a flat tire on his way home from work (man, sucky timing). I started to pray for our dinner Kaden was (Stevie Wonder'ing it) and said "can you see my face moving"?

So I started to pray for our food and for our friends and family. I went on to pray for Corey and his safety home and everything going on with his flat tire when I said "please Lord be with Corey and his flat tire" and then Kaden shouted "WHAT, Corey has a flat tire?".

So we were sitting around just hanging out and Kaden said "mommy my tummy hurts", and asked him what was wrong. He said "it hurts I think I have an ant in my tummy". I got to tell you, I don't know where he gets it.

To end the funny sayings Kaden has been saying all night "Once a Wild Cat always a Wild Cat". Thanks Monica...

Dinner Talk

Tonight Laura, Monica, Auntie Gabbers, Corey, Kaleb, Kaden and I were eating some chicken noodle soup. We were all talking and Gab started movie trivia with Kaden. It is so funny, Gab would ask "what movie has three sharks named Bruce, Anchor and Chum"? Kaden answered "Nemo". Kaden then asked "what movie has a cow, with milk and a barn"? I answered "Barn Yard". So we all went on for a while and then Kaden had mentioned well "Daddy, Monica and I are on the milk team, and Auntie Gabbers, Laura and Mommy are on the water team". The funny thing is that Gab, Laura, Monica, Kaden and I were all drinking milk and Corey was drinking water. Anyways, we were all sitting around the table and it was just so funny that Monica was Kaden's new favorite person. Everytime we would talk about anything he would ask Monica what she thought. It was just super cute.

Well after dinner Kaden and his daddy were playing swords. Kaden had an Adidas headband on over his eyes and was swinging his sword at his father. It was so cute he was practically all over the house almost knocking things off the counter. Kaden then told his daddy "you are David and I'm Goliath". Corey said okay I'm going to get you", and then Kaden replied "Okay Dad you need to stop, I have to win".
