Halloween, Halloween, Trick or Treat...-Dora the Explorer

Well this year, we were just gonna enjoy the season. I have some things coming up so we weren't able to get the kids costumes. We've been doing fun stuff all month like painting pumpkins! Grammy and Pops got them Thomas and Friends Halloween dvd, Grandma and Grandpa got them some popcorn and goodies, and we got them some dum dums and other treats. We watched some of disney's halloween specials and Pops comes to hang once a week and he treated the kids to a Jack o Lantern Pizza from Papa Murphy's. YUM!




Okay, then these costumes magically appear on my front door step! Thank you Aunties Heather and Kayla and Uncle Josh! As you can see we had fun!











We found this trick or treating. Nice shot of tigger huh?

July Backblog #4

I'm working on it. So here is July. Then I'll work on this Halloween.

We went to the Longview fireworks show this year.


We always eat pizza there so we can get a good spot and get there early. Kei got to have his first soda pop...root beer!


They had more fun with this than it was practical. That's saying a lot.



I have no idea what is on his face. I've been baking a ton now that I don't work so it's something chocolaty!


Wake up Bubee!!!! We went to stay with Oma and Opa for a week this summer to cheer Oma up since she broke her arm. The kids had a BLAST! Got good and worn out too. Hot summer for sure.


Opa and Cam boxing. I'll have to post a video of the boys game of pretend boxing. They take turns getting KO'd and counting. It's so funny.


Yep, the kiddos definitely had fun with their Oma and Opa!


Mrs. Rachel gave me these swimsuits which have been WONDERFUL since our pool is still too deep for the kids. Kei's little hiney is so cute in it too!!!


Meet Samson! Uncle Josh found him earlier this summer and after calls to the humane society and an add in the paper we got to keep him. He's so good with the kids.



Found this fellow in the boys swingset. Kinda neat. It's fun, these toddler and preschooler years; Everything is an adventure.



I forgot to post this in June's backblog. Adam and I- 7 years!!!


Kei got too excited about bath time. Actually, he fell in and it didn't seem to bother him in the least.

Kei's Second

So Sunday was Kei's Second Birthday! We went out of town for my cousins wedding shower and since Oma is in the hospital again we decided to do his little party there to help cheer her up.

It was still kinda crowded just for a handful of people but it was fun. I'm so glad Kei let us share this with Oma!
These were brownie batter cupcakes. They were so awesome if I say so myself. Iced with homemade cream cheese icing. Can you tell I'm loving being at home? Cam helped decorate. We made things in parts since we were traveling but it tasted fine even if it didn't look awesome.
He was SOOOOO cute with the candles! I think he was a little bit surprised it was for him.
Uncle Josh helping with cupcake duty!
He just wanted to play with "Dos" so we let him sit on the floor and make a huge mess.
He was making me clean up his mess from EVERYTHING. After we got the icing off, he then sat on his cupcake and got brownie goo everywhere, lol.
I think the nurses were a little upset about the cupcakes with Oma's diabetes, but they were fab and have been taking such good care of her! She did only take a couple of bites, then it was all out war over the leftovers, huh Aunt Vikki? Haha.

It took Kei some time to open his presents. I forgot how fun it is for a little bitty one to do this. He was so excited about every little part of the whole thing. Big brother was a little impatient, he just knew he was going to love sharing with Kei.
Kei LOVES "Bubee" and even let him help with unwrapping and playing.

This was just so cute. He got excited over the wrapping paper. He'd tear off a little peice and hand it to Aunt Vikki saying "loo!" Like, "Look! Isn't this the coolest!"The crew. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa too for being so cool about us not doing a big party at home and thank you for the truck and I'm posting pics of that tshirt!
After every gift he opened he got up to show it to everyone, mostly Aunt Vikki. He was so happy!
So he got lots of Thomas and friends stuff. He likes the big boy stuff but that's bc of big brother.
He's thanking Aunt KayKay for his Nelson at the Quarry set. You should have seen the track we made in the living room yesterday ya'll!

He actually got to open one on his own!Cameron decided his brother needed a big engine and he picked out Emily. We had to remind Cam though that it was for his brother, but he really has done well. It's really the first time that Keiler has gotten his own things that Cameron has wanted as well. Sharing motivation.
So we ransacked the joint. You can see the color changing hot wheels and let me tell you-they both LOVE those!
Since we drove in that morning he'd only gotten in like a 30 minute nap. We also spent majority of the day in the car. He was a little bit cranky.
...but I did get a smile.

So on Kei's actual bday we were headed home and since it was rainy we decided to stop and eat at the McD's in Jacksonville. The have a really cool indoor playground. It's a little big for Kei but he still loved it. They even had hotwheels in the happy meals. We seldom eat out so a happy meal in itself was a big deal.I'm not sure what he was saying, but he looked mad. He was just being silly though.
He got to playing this little piano with his hiney eventually. Didn't get any good pics of that unfortunately.


He was waiting for Bubee to come down the slide. He calls Cameron that and that is of his own doing.

Haha! I saw this shirt and thought, "oh that's cute." It was just a tshirt and a cute one, but I died when I saw the cape on the back later! That is the funniest thing! He was super cute playing in it today. I wish I could have gotten a better shot of him sword fighting with Cam. He'd place his legs so that it looked like he was about to take off.
So a huge thank you to everyone who got him stuff for his birthday. It was fun time and we love sharing it with you all!
