Snow Angels

On a busy day of school, errands, and church meetings, Kaleb asked me if he could make a snow angel. I kept coming up with excuses for him not to, mostly cause I was in a hurry, and didn't want him to get all snowy and wet. At the end of the day, I went to get the mail, and he said, "Mom, I REALLY want to make a snow angel!" Realizing that I had been a real party pooper, I said, ok, go ahead! He went to town decorating the yard with snow angels, then, we played in the snow, and found icicles that tasted pretty good! Sometimes you gotta just have fun, no matter how cold or wet you might get!

Happy New Year!

We had a fun new years eve party this year, with lots of Kaleb's friends. We all stayed up late, even the grown ups, ate lots of goodies, played games, and even had a silly string fight! Kaleb stayed up past midnight, and fell asleep during his nightly breathing treatment. He was so excited about the party, and was telling everybody about it about a week ahead of time, he even told the refridgerator repairman the day before, "Hey, we're havin a party!" We snapped a picture of the kids that made it til midnight!

What I've been doing since Christmas.....

Wii and didj, Wii and didj, Wii and didj and so on and so forth. We did manage to squeeze preschool back in, but Kaleb's video games have pretty much consumed most of his time since Christmas! He's even got mom playing Super Mario Brothers!

All I want for Christmas

At school, Kaleb's teacher had them cut ads to make a Christmas wish list. To my surprise, he only cut one thing out, and sweet talked his teacher into making a bowling ball for his paper. These were the two things, the only things he asked for. When he visitied Santa he told him he wanted "a Mario game, and a blue bowling ball, and that's ALL!" Of course Santa brought him more presents, but these were the two things that meant the most to him! Christmas was a blast this year, he even tried to get mom to sit on the porch on Christmas Eve to "wait for Santa". We did for about 5 minutes and it got too cold and he quickly gave up! Oh, and can you tell he is learning how to write his name???

The best pictures are taken by chance

The day after Thanksgiving we had the chance to ride the Santa train. We have never been on a real train ride before, it was quite an experience. As we were walking from car to car, I was trying to take his picture, when he was distracted by the window, it turned out to be one of the best pictures of him, just by chance.

Thanksgiving is very mmmmmm.

We had Thanksgiving at Grandma's house, and the boys actually sat down and ate this year!

At school his teachers asked him questions about Thanksgiving and they recorded his answers in a book. Here are some of those questions.

The first Thanksgiving......"They had food to eat. Come on a boat the Pilgrams. The Ineans come on the boat too. Eat ham, huh, they have pumpkins to eat, and turkey, that's all."

What are you Thankful for....."For my baby I want to get. Him a boy. His name is Ian. Just me and my baby. He weighs heavy."

How do you cook a Turkey....."You can't cook a turkey cause it too big. I don't know what you do."

Best Buddies

Most Friday nights in the fall, Keith and Kaleb are found at Paul Brown tiger stadium. A long time family tradition in a big football town. Kaleb's favorite is the marching band. He enjoys spending time with his Dad, Papa, Uncle Brent, Aunt Dawn, & his cousin Jonah. Aunt Harriet and Uncle Dave are just a few rows up, and many other "regular" season ticket holders they have become friends with. Maybe someday Kaleb will be throwing a football, or marching out on that field!

Go Tigers!
