Doing the Laundry

Doing the laundry was never so much fun!  Kyle helped me take these pictures of Kaleb this past week.  Kaleb had so much fun playing with the clothes pins!  Hoping to get some of these printed out soon.  Looking forward to the next month or so as outdoor scenery will hopefully be great for taking some more photos!

Being A Mother


Being a mother is the hardest job I have ever had, the most rewarding and the one I want to be remembered for. 
Yesterday we moved Jessica to her new dorm room at college.  I am so excited for her and the new adventure she is now on.  I know it is time for her to be on her own and know we are both ready but boy kids sure grown up fast.  I worry sometimes people might think I take too many pictures of my kids, especially Kaleb, but I want to remember and cherish everything about them at what ever stage in life they are at.  It all goes so fast.   They keep me busy and sometimes I feel overwhelmed but I couldn't imagine what it would be like without them.

He


 He is now 14 months old.
 He is wearing size 12-18 months clothes and size 5-6 shoes. 
 He is running everywhere and climbing everything.
 He is talking more and more everyday.  His vocabulary now includes: Daddy, Mommy, Hi, and garden on a regular bases.  Other words he has occasionally said have been: hat, done, duck, goin' get you, and that.
He loves animals and makes animals sounds for a cow, chicken and pig.  Cows are his favorite.
He is really into reading story books right now and his favorite is a lift the flap animal book.
He loves tractors both the toy ones and the real ones.  He loves to ride in them.
His favorite foods right now are macaroni and cheese, cottage cheese, cheetos, basically anything cheesey!
He dances.
 He gives kisses now and makes the noise"mmmm" to go with the kiss.
He decided in the last two weeks that he won't sit in the baby bath tub.
He loves to color with his sidewalk chalk and he and Mommy have started leaving messages on the sidewalk for everyone, like " Don't worry" and "You are special".
He pretends he is changing the channels with the remote.
He loves to play in his tent with his stuffed animals.

Kenton helped me get these pictures of Kaleb the other night.  I hope to get some more of the kids this weekend before Jess is off to college.  Time is moving by so quickly.  Babies are growing up!
