Kalebs Missing Again?!

I'm not sure why Kaleb can't just stay in his bed. The other night Kaleb came into our room at 4am. Brent and I were both tired and I figured Brent would be getting up in an hour to leave for work so I let him climb into bed with us. When Brent got up to go to work he asked me WHERE IS KALEB? That was a great question! What is with this kid. I got up and started searching everywhere. I couldn't find him anywhere. (I'm having a deja vu moment) I went downstairs and the door was still locked so I new that he was somewhere in the house. I told Brent that I couldn't find him and he helped me look. This is where Brent found him. He had climbed into bed with Rylie. He must of been really quiet not to wake her up because the monitor was on and I didn't even hear him. I guess he was just lonely. CUTE KIDS!

How is that safe???

Yesterday when Brent got home from work he went upstairs to check on the kids. They had been playing in the boys room. This picture is what he found. Now you might be asking yourself, WHERE IS THEIR MOTHER?! I was in the kitchen finishing up dinner. It had probably been 20 minutes since I had physically checked on my three little angels. As you can see they were not sitting quietly on the floor looking at books. OH NO, Ethan had some how tied his sheet to the bottom of his bed and my kids were climbing inside of the sheet. I'm not entirely sure, but I can't imagine this is very safe. Thank goodness the only injury was a fat lip for Kaleb, and that had nothing to do with the sheet. That was the result of flying train track. I guess I am going to have to keep a better eye I on my kids.

Such a Good Girl

I'm not sure how it happened but Rylie has to be the best baby ever. Now I realize that I might be a little bias, but she really is the best. She is ALWAYS HAPPY and ALWAYS SMILING. She is so content to just hang out and look around. I think that maybe Heavenly Father sent her to our family because he knew that the other three were giving us a run for our money and Rylie was all that we could handle. What ever the reason I am really grateful that she has such an easy going personality. Our family just loves her and we know that she belongs with us. We Love You Rylie!!!

Celebrity Collage by MyHeritage

Thought this would be pretty fun. Found it on Christy's blog. MyHeritage does a face scan of a photo and pairs you up with celebrity look-alikes. I decided only to post the closest result as for some reason I also seem to look like a number of different women, in addition to Will Ferrell. It's really starting to hurt...

Frosting Fun

We had our once a month dinner at my mom and dad's house yesterday and my mom had this fun activity planned for my kids. I guess she got the idea from her friend Wendy. She took a paper plate and spread frosting all over it them let the kids decorate it with all different kinds of candy. Their favorite part was eating as they went. THEY LOVED IT, what a fun idea! Thanks Mom!!

Family makes the best friends

On Saturday we decided to have a picnic dinner at the park with Brooke and Wayne and the kids and Spencer and Lizeth. The kids always have a great time at the park and nice free entertainment.

It was a little windy, so Rylie hung out in her car seat most of the time. She was happy as usual.

I could not keep Kaleb's shoes on. Every time I turned around he was taking them off. I hate the sand at the park. I always wonder what yuk thing could be hiding in their, so when he was barefoot it was driving me crazy! That might be his goal in life. If so he was successful.
Brent and Spencer were playing catch when these random parent less kids just showed up and started joining their game. For some reason this drove Brooke and I crazy. We thought it was a little rude. I was thinking "GET YOUR OWN FAMILY". Now I realize this was probably not the right attitude to have, I guess I should repent for my hostile attitude. Brent and Spencer were really patient and just let them play too. What a good example!:)

Bike Ramp 101

Ethan loves to ride his bike in the front yard, and especially loves jumping the curb. The only downfall is that I get nervous of him riding out in the street to do so, so I set up a little bike ramp for him in front of the driveway on the sidewalk with some extra wood blocks that I had laying around. He got so excited he wouldn't even wait for me to get the camera before he took his first jump. He kept wanting to go faster and faster, and I kept telling him the faster he went the more it will hurt if he falls. Long story short, Ethan took his first trip over the handlebars, and now has the elbow scuffs and burns to show for it. He only screamed for a little while I cleaned and bandaged him, but got over it quick. He actually became discouraged when he found out that I had taken the ramp down, as I guess he wasn't finished mastering the art of "big air".

"Don't fret young grasshopper, there is much time to learn..."

Unfortunately, I wasn't recording video when he crashed...just got a lousy photo. It does speak for itself, even though it's a little blurry.

Here's a little video of one of the successful runs...

Friday Fun

Today we had Jennifer, Kaylee, and Connor over to do lots of fun things. The kids always love getting together.

Connor was hanging out with Rylie. I guess he didn't want her to be lonely.
Allie and Kaylie got all glam'd up with the makeup. BEAUTIFUL GIRLS!!!
I have these pumpkin molds and we made rice crispy treats in them. They turned out really YUMMY!
The kids all made aprons out of place mats. We found the idea on flipflopsandapplesauce.blogspot.com. They turned out pretty cute and the kids loved them. Next we painted these bags to look like pumpkins. I don't know what it is about boys, but they can't do anything without making a mess. Ethan and Kaleb both thought it would be fun to paint their hands. I have no idea what would posses them to do this, but I guess I'm not a boy. Their minds are a mystery. We had a FUN day. Thanks guys!

Watch out....... They might run you over

My kids have had jeeps for a couple of years. We use to keep them in the garage and Brent would get them out and the kids would drive in the front yard. Recently we decided, what the heck, lets just put them in the backyard. I have to say, I am so glad that we did. My kids have been driving and driving. We are constantly charging the batteries. They love the freedom to cruise around the backyard.

Allie and Kensley
No hands? Now that's real safe. Look out when she's 16!
