Comeeeere Sadie

A boy and his dog. I do not believe that this is a relationship that can ever truly be replicated by any other relationship our there. Kyle really likes to take Sadie's toys and 'hide' them from her in his toy boxes. She can get to them. So then he puts them on the table or the counter. She cannot reach them there. Think about it- she is a weenie dog. That means she is vertically challenged. Please do not mention it to her because she is sensitive about it from time to time. We are trying to find her a good therapist.

See this look? This is the "what!?! I am not doing anything wrong" look. I get this look about 80 times a day, 75 of which he really is doing something wrong.

Now look at the little dog on the floor beside him. This is her "he has my toy again" look. I get this look about 50 times a day. She is always right.

I think he was telling her "no Sadie", but it could have also been "go away Sadie" or "stay down Sadie". He likes to pretend that he is her boss. She likes to let him pretend that he is her boss.

Ah, who am I kidding? Sadie has no boss.

Now we get down to the mad chase around the trailer. Kyle says "Comeeeeere Sadie. Come on Sadie. Comeeeeeere Sadie" and then he runs. The only reason Sadie actually follows him is because he has her toy. Again.

They run until Kyle needs a break. Kyle watches a commercial. Sadie watches her toy. And then they go again.

This happens morning, noon, and night. I think Sadie puts up with him because he plays with her, and I think Kyle just likes to torture her. Poor thing.

I miss my sister

If you know where to find this person, please let me know. I miss her dearly and pray that she is found again soon. Or, that she at least finds herself again soon. We love you Bobbie. Do not ever forget that.

Kaleb's first time 'outside'

A few days ago we had a nice day in Wyoming.
Amazingly, they do exist.
The wind was NOT, I repeat, NOT blowing.
It was about 45 degrees.
It felt like 70 degrees without the wind.
Kaleb liked being outside, except for the exceedingly bright sun.
I told him to man up and get used to it.
Then he gave me this look, which I took to mean "whatever".
What a character.

A boy and his dumptruck

When you have boys toys are simple.
Things you can put dirt in, pick dirt up with, move dirt with, and push around at a high rate of speed. Yep, just wait until he wants things with motors.
Oh yeah, I have TWO boys.
Heaven help me.
(I guess I had motorized things once upon a time too...)

It is a Brother Thing

They think they are pretty cool.

In fact, you cannot tell them otherwise.

I can foresee many bouts of brotherly mischief in my future.

Oy.

Whatcha Gonna Do With A 2 Month Old?

Why, make him smile of course! And coo and goo. There is even an occasional aaaagoooo. I am loving it! (He DOES love his Daddy, very very much!)

But he is sorta fond of Mama too.

Especially after he eats. Smiles are rampant at that point. Unless he is asleep. Even then though...smiles often bubble out.

It has been a great 2 months and we are very much looking forward to learning more and more about his personality. We love you Kaleb!

Adventures in the kitchen..um..livingroom..um

Last week Kyle and I made some Rice Krispy Treats. I figured it was high time that boy learned how to cook.

I think he enjoyed himself. I know he enjoyed the fruits of his labors. Perhaps a bit more than he should have.....

What can I say; he made them, he can do what he wants with them :)
