hmmm

Well Kanyin is pretty much walking everywhere! He can walk from one side of the room to the other and sometimes around the corner- HE is better when you just let him do it himself. If I were to try and show someone that he can walk and stand him up to get him ready he will just plop back down, but like 40 sec later he will stand himself up and walk away! I am going to have a tough one on my hands... speaking of tough, Auklin today. So he does this thing where he talks back to me- weird huh? :) Yeah so I was telling AUklin if he didn't come eat his cereal he would not get his snack for today- well he comes walking into the kitchen wearing my shoes and says "YOUR not going to get YOUR snack today!" well I looked at him and said "Auklin, you are not the mom. please be a good listener and just eat your breakfast." He looked right at me and said "yeah huh, I am the mom because I am wearing your shoes! and you need to be a good listener and YOU eat YOUR breakfast!" :(

...I am doomed!

Spring Fever!

So the weather has been amazing so most our days are spent outside! We are loving it! Auklin is finally tall enough to ride his big boy bike and he live on the thing! We fixed our swing set and Kanyin loves to swing- We actually set up our little one person hammock we got on our honeymoon and so we can all swing together! :) its pretty much Awesome!

Kasey is almost done with school for this semester so we are gearing up for some camping trips and vacations baby! we basically could go up camping just about every weekend- so we are way excited! One thing that is going to be great is Auklin is starting tiny tot sports! He starts soccer April 10th and baseball is in May. I get half off with the city so its pretty cool and we are excited to see him grow up! He has recently found some friends over at the neighbors and always wants to run over there every time they are outside- after establishing its ok that he can play we just watch out the window like stalkers and comment on every little thing that happens. Its crazy that he is getting old enough to just be independent and go play with his friends... Weird! Kanyin has taken about 7 steps. He is learning to walk between furniture and from and to different people. He gets so excited he tries running but for now its 7 steps! I am just trying to wrap my head around the fact that he will turn 1 in about 2 months! the time goes by so fast! He just broke through his 2nd tooth last week and his 1st tooth came out the week before that! he can climb up stairs and small furniture but has yet to master getting down things!

Auklin is all of a sudden getting brave- he loves primary and he went up to sing in church all by himself- he didn't want anything to do with it at the beginning of the year- he goes to art classes at my work by himself when before I had to be everywhere he was. He loves primary and I love hearing him randomly singing primary songs and asking questions about stuff he is learning! Kasey interviewed at work for a new position that we are hoping goes through- he is basically working the position anyway! He is enjoying some of his classes at school and getting excited to graduate. He is also getting pretty pumped about yard work and our garden- He is already starting to try and set up his lawn care business- he has wanted to have one since forever and he is going to give it a whirl...

Now I am going to take this challenge from my sister in law and post 11 random things about myself...

1. I don't have my ears pierced- to go along with ears, I have one lobed ear and one attached.

no this is not why I don't have pierced ears, my mom always tought me that if God wanted holes in my ears he would have put them there- :) I could choose when I was old enough but until then...When we were old enough to choose for ourselves me and both my sisters decided we didn't want them anyway!

2. I love the heels and the crust of bread- especially with tuna fish sandwiches!

3. When I eat multiple color candy I like to sort the colors and eat them in order of the kind I like least and save the best for last! Or I have to mix a green or yellow with a red or purple...hehe

4. When I read signs- sometimes in my head I repeat the word over and over in different variations of the word including backwards sometimes emphasizing on different letters :) I am not crazy I swear- unless there is some psychiatric person out there reading this and diagnosed me with some disease... please let me know!

5. I married my high school sweetheart!

6. I have a deep deep love for childhood activities including the fair, carnivals, parades, cotton candy, the whole shebang!

7. I hate to read- I have probably read about 7 or 8 books my entire life- 6 or 7 of them being read as a class during school! But i love the movies of book series! When a good book comes out I always say "I hope they make it a movie"

8. I curl my toes under my feet when I am sitting... where my feet actually reach the ground.

9. When I see cool dance moves on tv I secretly try them out in front of the mirror to see if I can look as cool as they were :D hahaha

10. I love people to ask me for help or their opinion or for advice, I don't think I could ever get sick of people telling me their drama- venting what not...

11. I am addicted to fruit snacks, fruit by the foot, gushers, fruit leather, all that good stuff- yeah my children are doomed!
