"Bigger Boy"

I still think of him as my baby, but he has let me know for a while that he is a big boy. The closer it got to his birthday he kept asking me, "How many days till my birthday"? & "Am I a bigger boy yet"? Kaleb's birthday fell on Memorial Day weekend, so it seemed like his birthday celebration lasted all weekend long! We started out with a trip to Toys R Us with his birthday coupon and left with his two best friends, Mario and Luigi.
It continued with a party at Chuck E Cheese with his Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, cousins and his best friend. I don't think I've ever seen him smile as much as I did at that party.

Another great birthday cake by Aunt Tina!



Kaleb's favorite game, hmm, kind of reminds me of another game he loves.


He loves that mouse!




5 years old! (2 days early, but close enough)





Probably wishing for this day to never end!







A birthday cake with no worries!







The birthday star got to go into the flying ticket booth. For safety, they wanted him to wear goggles, and tuck in his shirt. It was hilarious. He looked like the cutest little "birthday nerd" ever! He even had blue frosting smeared on his cute little "nerd" face!







Go Kaleb!




After tucking every one in, the birthday boy fell asleep within seconds. It was a very busy day and we hated to see it come to an end, but we know that there will be many more special days like this to come and we cherish every one. Sweet dreams my "Bigger Boy"!

These are a few of my favorite things

cinnamon food storage
a new booster seat, bye bye car seat!





Just my friend and me, eating "chippies"





Little Critter books!





more little critter books





Kaleb is in love with Mercer Mayer's series of "Little Critter" books. This little guy finds himself in all kinds of silly situations that He can really relate to.


Kaleb loves to eat "Chippies", and anything cinnamon. Daddy once said, if we poked a hole in him, cinnamon would come pouring out! We also wonder if there is such thing as a cinnamon overdose? If so, it probably would have happened by now.


Kaleb recently graduated from a car seat to a booster seat and is just thrilled to be getting bigger and more independent.

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???
