Kaisen learned to clap the other day. He prefers to walk holding one hand but doesn't always work n he crawls around calling for mommmma. And he bops his fist to is mouth for eat but really its cracker cuz thats all he wants to eat. Skinny winnie. He stands alone a bit n took 4 or 5 steps last night to mom but then fell n refused to play that game anymore. Yeah for us. Is ryker walking. He should be.

Here is a pic of the trophies we made. Nice to get the third place one to show off our work. Even though Kowens car was from a kit n suppose to be orange w black but was black w orange bc dad messed up. Luckily mom had orange spray paint bc the orange paint wasn't covering on the black. N last minute no name car then mom suggested black ninja n hr agreed. Two points for mom. Boo yaaaa

Third place trophy mom and dad made minus words. Good job Kowen.

Tom and Jerry has my full attention.

Nothing like getting in the car to take Kilee to school and realizing the battery is dead. Thank goodness for friends to take her all the way to school. It's so dead I can't even get it in neutral to back it out of garage to jump it off. Definitely a downside to parking in garage when cliff was on call. So when he gets home I will try the mighty jump I bought him for christmas n didn't charge like I should have. Or its off to buy a new battery since we had troubles driving home from Alabama and didn't get it checked last week. Silly stupid us. It could just be that mom probably left a light on. Yes I admit it could have well probably was me.

Yes cliff turned 40. Yes I decorated n trashed yard w spray paint on snow and cut up card board box with rip yout n we still love you old man. And yes I stapled that sign to tree and yes it blew away several times. Yes the over the hill sign is under the snow somewhere near house I hope. And yes I did throw him a party days later to which this is the only pic I got and it was taken bc of all the games we could have played he learned some silly ninja tag kid game I never got when they play at scout camp. Oh well. Happy 40th dear.you are never too old to learn something new.

You can't really see the sagging of the pants here. So cute but oh h so skinny. He is up to 17 lbs with diaper. He is enjoying his new toys mom got him at Once upon a child bc she just can't resist shopping n buying him toys. Yes Christmas was just 2 weeks ago.

Love my helper. He always wants to help with kaisen even when mom wants him to leave kaisen alone but I am glad for him

Thanks uncle day n aunt jill for 3 crock pot cooker. Mom used it for dad's party saturday. She wishes it didn't have plastic hard to pick up handles but hey best walmart had on saturday. What's worse party was saturday n there are still wines n things in all three sections. Oh yeah mom's going to go where she hasn't wanted to go for days. Yep time to clean them out. Oh n extra guess we went to chick FIL a. So thanks for a woman Derulo christmas. P.s. how is the pancake grill? Heeee.

He also can't get enough crackers. Mom mm good.

Look who got a train like ryker for 8.50 and a few other things bc mom's crazy. He loves them and enjoyed playing at once upon a child resale store.

Love spending time with cousins and ezra telling us all about playing skylanders.

Vacuuming is so much harder when this little guy chases the vacuum trying to play with it. I just have to stop and give in sometimes.

Love this boy but my house is a mess and messier since he can crawl and loves to get into everything.

Love her shirt. She says it's a gag gift from mom but she asked for one so I got it.

Well Cliff's 40th bday came and went and this was the best I could do. No present no cake just tacky yard s gins n dinner at Texas roadhouse. Yep I'm a lame wife n it's cold outside. In my defense I am inviting friends for cake n games saturday but nothing special. Maybe I can do a minute to win it theme n show a little effort. Great idea now I have to get to work. N bed.

Kaisen's mess already this morning. He is getting around better and enjoying pulling everything out of boxes and off the tv stand. Time for a real tv stand with doors.

We love waking up early before everyone else and look look I found a tissue box to unload.

We tried loving Uncle Daylyn and Ryker.

And yes I was blocked in and just had to drive threw it many times.

Not just this but kilee n the girls shrink wrapped his toilet and toothbrush. They put clear nail polish on his soap so it wouldn't lather and that was a good one. They put dye in his shower but aiti was the first to shower even though she knew it was there. Lots of fun and Grumpa loved it. Don't worry he got her back by dumping popcorn on her while she was sleeping and Sera n wrapping the door shut while she was in the shower. Also her phone and makeup kaboodle.

Just a little fun with Grumpa. The kids raked the leaves into a pile to block Grumpa from driving up.

Poor baby was sick with a cold and only wanted his mommy to hold him all day. Oh h well he smiled n played from my arms.

Thanks for making the cake Kilee. And Uncle Bryan for picking dad up from the airport.

Kilee decorated it with a 40 and a field goal bc he made it to the goal age and more. We lit the candles but uncle Bryan blew them out so we had to relight them.

We celebrated Cliffs 40th bday with a chocolate chocolate cake for fun. He got a hearing aid cone too since he is so old.

Finally talking to paw paw while daddy is throwing the football outside with my siblings. What a lovely New Years Day 2015. Glad they could come and see me before we went back to Ohio.

A little static to go during our car ride back from alabama. He sure was a much better passenger. Unlike the ride down when he spent like 80 percent out of the car seat and in mom's arms. Bad bad mom but we got to drive and he was sick.

Kaisen is answering questions. He is so smart. Everything is no but he is so smart.

That's what I did after a week of not clipping my nails on vacation in alabama. I sliced my forehead when I woke up.

Just your average drive. So nice that kaisen is behaving with mom as his riding buddy and dad driving.

Thanks aunt jill n uncle day for popcorn machine kids asking already for popcorn. Too bad aunt jill said it doesn't work properly and we are returning it with her permission.

Fwd:

We love spending time with family and trying to get a group photo. Crazy squish time.

Fwd:

Kilee sent me this bc she thought of me and it is so true. I cannot just go into a store for a few things. It's so frustrating.

Fwd:

Thanks for the fruitcake basket Mamma and Grandpa Nowell.

Old pic of how Kowen likes to dress for wacky day a few weeks ago.

Woo hoo we loved spending time with cousin Ryker and Uncle Daylyn. I think I finally got over my cold and am warming up to people. Too bad we had to leaave.
