Hello! Yes, it's been a long while. A LOT has happened since the last post. I have to admit though, it's not as fun posting without pics. My camera has failed me. BUT Adam got a really spiffy camcorder at his Best Buy retreat in Miami and it takes pretty good pictures!
First, Kei is getting ALL of his one year molars at once! We've had a rough weekend but he's all grins now. He ran pretty high fever and found it pretty hard to sleep. We're giving him Tylenol before bed now and that seems to be doing the trick. The slobber is out of hand though.
He's just so happy. He's content to just hang out with brother, play with his trucks, get into the trash and any other gross thing and snuggle! He is my cuddler for sure!
Cam has got allergies right now. Lots of coughing but he's doing really good other than that. He's starting to eat more veggies, YAY! He's learning a few sight words and, the, of and he knows trucks like nobody's business! We're are addicted to the Tonka books. I picked out a shirt for Kei for Christmas and it said Bulldozer on it. I showed it to Cam and he said, "That's not a bulldozer- that's a excavator!" He was right, and I can't believe I didn't notice, but we're keeping it.
SOOOOOOOOOO...One of our good friends was at the Halloween football game, Jacob. He was doing one of his many jobs as EMT there...I think. So Cam got an upclose and personal tour of the ambulance! Mr. Jacob even let him wear some fire gear! Lemme tell you- the kid was on cloud nine! He even got to play with the lights!
Kei wasn't feeling good but just to show you how snuggly he is, he has only met Jacob 3 or 4 times but wanted to be held and snuggled sooooo bad! I was a bit jealous. He was snuggling with anyone who'd hold him- including an adorable little girl who I've never seen before in my life. Anyone but me that is.
So we did Chunky monkey and Pirate this year. Thanks to old costumes and Rachel who gave us Brooks costume from last year. Cam really played it up...well some, with some help from mommy. Ahoy there mateys! He LOVED his pirate "tickles." Daddy did a full out beard Halloween night for the game. BTW, the football game was Kayla's senior night! We just couldn't miss it. Plus the boys did Halloween with my mom and dad and the girls at the bandboosters carnival (which they loved and I loved because I got a whole night off) and they had parties at school. We just showed off to a few neighbors first. Special thanks to Grandma Sylvia for the treat bags and the card that was oh so true!
Daddy and his monsters.
Kei's party at school. He had no problem eating an entire cookie. One of the mom's was totally shocked. He's the smallest in class.
This is Cam's class! It's a really big class for 3 year olds, but Mrs. Gayla and Mrs. Rebekah are awesome!
These kids got almost too much stuff. I'm gonna have to give some of it, er, a lot of it to my sisters. I didn't go all out on the "tickles" like daddy.
Also, thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the cute cards! Cam knew exactly what he wanted. A cement mixer to put his candy in. So he got a toy tonka mixer that mixed nerds, skittles and other things that were no fun trying to get out. Kei got a baby tonka truck set so he could be like brother and have his OWN trucks! Cement mixer included of course.
So goofy!
Kei had the grouchies this morning so the only smiles we really got were if I was holding him tickling him.
See-grouchies!
Doesn't he look so sweet! Cam got this from a friend and didn't get to wear it all that long. Kei's got a while on it.
It was really hard to get him to take a serious smile.
We're having lots of fun this fall. It's the first time we've really been able to talk about the changing seasons and what goes on.
