Birthdays

Ok So February is the Month for my mom and dad, their birthdays are just a couple weeks apart so we have a big party and celebrate how old they are! :D I am a little late at posting this but I just wanted to roast them- I will start with my mom cause her birthday is first. So my mom is the greatest, she will always be young at heart. She is always into the new trends and wanting be and look cool. All through my mischievous years even. She was what we liked to call the "get away car"!!! She loved being in on all the fun but her famous line was, "if you get caught and cops come to my door I will have no idea who you are!" You should see my mom dance- she can shake that thang! ; ) But I will have to say my favorite thing about my mom is her laugh. She makes things so funny and she laughs at herself and she makes everyone have a great laugh, I love watching her smile real big and then push air through her closed lips making the ppppppppp sound right before she laughs out loud and says "oh my gosh!" hahaha it makes me giggle thinking about it! She is also so talented and involved in so much, play, choirs, singing groups, more plays, being a great Nana... etc. I love you Mom happy birthday. Next my one and only papa bear, my dad is always making everyone else happy. He is the energizer bunny when it comes to work. His slogan in life is always give something back better than you found it. I love that about him. i love hangin out with my dad under the cars or up in the mountains. My dad is also pretty hip i love the way he sags his pants a little or lays out in the back yard ;) hahaha yeah thats right, I wont go into much more detail hehehe... He is so handy and I learn so much from him. He is always there to help his kids. I have the best paretns ever, they are so fun and so sweet together. They make times so fun and I love all my childhood memories that they made happen! Happy birthday Dad! I love you~

Our little Bully

-Please read before scrolling down-

So they other day my sister and her little boy Kaden were over over at my house. Kaden is 4 and such a cutie! My sister and me were in the other room and all of a sudden we hear this whimper voice saying "chelsi!" It was Kaden- Kalli and I both looked at each other with one eye brow raised when once again we heard a very sad whimpering voice a little more eager this time saying "Chelsi!" at this moment Kalli sayed back "what do you need Kaden?" ........."Chelsi!!!" so as we both giggled a little I hurried in the other room to find this.................. 

Scroll down...

You can understand my reaction when I bursted into laughter and had to take a picture before I helped the poor boy out! BY this time Kalli ran in to see what was so funny- Oh man! Watch out kiddos! And for those of you who pick on little Auklin now, well I cant say what he will do to you later! ;) hehehe We will work with him! 

Oh and when we asked Kaden how in the world this happened he said "he just climbed right up here and got on me" Auklin probably weighs almost as much as Kaden- Kalli has tiny little chillins :) I have a big one! :) Sorry Kaden-

Kasey

So I am just home and Auklin is sleeping, usually this is my time to relax, watch TV, scrapbook, laundry, clean the house, etc... but sometimes I rem inis- or how ever you spell it... Kasey and i have been down a long road together and it is so fun for me to think back and remember all the great times we have had together and I just love it! We have tons of hard times but they only make us better. I love Kasey for being able to help me talk through our difficulties together and more calmly than I usually handle it ;) We have been working on our communication a lot over the past couple years, this seems to be the hardest part in a lot of marriages and it can pretty hard but we always figure it out and I love that about us! So while Auklin is sleeping today I just wanted to tell you all how awesome my husband is! :) I just love being married! I just have to thank mom and dad Craven for raising Kasey so well and teaching him how to be great! I am the luckiest!!! xoxo :) Thats my tribute ;) Peace out-  

Tubes

Well Auklin finally got his tubes~ last time he was supposed to get them he got sick and they couldn't do it. It went really well, the tubes are sooo tiny they are like the tip of a ball point pen. They make a small incision in the ear drum and put the tube through there to help drain the fluid in his ears.  It take about 10 min or less to do and he is under the whole time with a gas mask. The only hard part is when they wake up- They feel really weird from the anesthesia and they dont know how to react to how they feel so they just cry and cry. It was so sad to see him like that, not knowing what was going on. Kasey made him feel the most comforted! He loves his dada- after about maybe 30 min of him crying we decided to go home and put him in bed, when we got home he was pretty happy and normalish, he lasted a few min and then we could tell he was tired so he went down for a few hours and when he woke up he was normal as could be- He is talking so much he just jabbers all day- Eventually the tubes will fall out all by themselves and we wont even know- pretty cool! So there ya have it- Tubes...

A Post!l

So it has been a long long while- We have been a little busy lately. We had the holidays and they were amazing and then Kasey started school and we have started demo on our basement. It has been crazy but a fun adventure. We are hoping to have the basement finished by March and that is giving us a lot of breathing room. Depending on our cash flow this should happen! Kasey is working hard going to school full time and going to work full time. Auklin is a walking machine, and growing so fast. He is a little boy now and no longer my little baby- it is quite a bitter sweet experience. :) He is learning so much, it is fun to have him talk to me when he needs things. He is starting to pick up on quite a lot of words. I can usually tell what he wants after a little thinking ;) Today he finally starting blowing on his food. I have been trying to teach him to blow since before his birthday, I wanted him to blow out his candle but he finally did it. It came out of no where, I gave him lunch today and I said "hot, Auklin its hot" and he blow on it! :D I was so excited- Auklin also has been a little sad thing- he has had 7 ear infections this ear well 8 cause he had on in both ears one time. And an eye infection so we have to get him tubes. This will be so good to have him feel relief. It is such a simple little procedure and we hope it works for him. And as for me I have been scrap-booking  Auklins first year and I just finished my last page- I will post a picture next time! But for now its just an update. :)
