Auntie Monica Visits

Monica came to visit over spring Break- we had a great time with her. Great company. Keston and she became "best friends" instantly. Monica and Chad on the other hand had a mini war going on- we're talking food in the face, squirting with hoses, cars in the bed, poop remarks on facebook- they are funny! We love you Monica!

On the way to get Monica.
Had to go to Chuck E. Cheese- where a kid can be a kid.
Made some good food together- mostly sweets like lemon bars, brownies and muffins- but we did get some healthy stuff in too, like chicken catchatori and here Cal is enjoying it.
The boys loved reading with Monica!Calon learned to open the DVD player while Monica was here.
Cal is rocking the spikes- nothing to do with Monica, just had to add cause he's so cute.

Happy Leprechaun's Day

Keston is such a great age- holidays are so fun! We started talking about St Patrick's Day a few days ago and it has officially changed to Leprechaun's Day. We took a long time making a great trap to catch the Leprechaun- so we could get his coins and candy. We used rainbow paper and drew clovers, rainbows, coins and candy to be sure to lure him in. Keston also found really good green stuff to put in the trap to get him to come inside:) We wore our green clothes so we wouldn't get pinched by the Leprechaun and when we went to the store today Kes pointed out every person that had no green that was going to get pinched. So Fun!!

At the bottom are a few pics of Calon's new favorite place.

My darling boys!!













Playing with rice crispies is too fun to stop and pose.

Monster Jam

Chad and Keston went to Monster Jam last night. Chad says, "We went to Monster Jam. It was fun!." And Keston says, "They crushed cars and they jumped very high and Superman truck was there and Grave Digger was there- everyone was there. And they jumped very very high and very big like this (arms open as wide as possible). And I loved it."

Happy Birthday Calon!

Calon turns 1 today! Time goes by so fast it is incredible! Grammy, Auntie Dani, cousin Mia, Mimi and Papa came up this weekend to help us celebrate. We had a great time with everyone. We were able to go the aquarium and the botanic gardens on Saturday and had a lot of fun. We had Calon's party at Chuck E Cheese on Sunday- which was nothing like I remembered from my youth, but was still a blast. Calon liked opening presents better than I thought he would and loved his new sock monkey jack in the box and hokey pokey Elmo. He didn't however care for the cake, didn't want to play with or eat it-( just when you think you know how they'll react to things they throw you for a loop.) It was a wonderful weekend for a darling, loving, amazing baby boy- big boy.
