Not Quite All Girl...

So, Kaiyah doesn't appreciate dresses AT ALL. We thought when she was crawling that it was because they got in her way, but she's been walking for a long time now, and her opinion of them still hasn't changed. Looks like we might have a little tom boy on our hands. Tami promised her that soon she'll have a little sister to wear dresses with her. (-:

I just wanted to throw this picture in, too, because it was cute. She loves Chapstick.Look below for a short blog about Zeke...

All Boy...

So, I came home the other day and Tami and the kids had been outside to play. I came in the kitchen and saw this on the counter:

I asked Zeke if he found some rocks outside. He said, "Yes. I got them from outside and put them on the kitchen cabinet for decoration to look pretty 'cause I thought you guys would like them. That's why I got them." He's funny.

"Zeke and Mommy time"

In our 4 day attempt at potty training Kaiyah (a whole other story in and of itself), Zeke was starting to feel a little neglected. Yesterday I promised him that we would have some special Zeke and Mommy time today. This morning, Zeke requested a trip to "Starboks" to eat lemon cheesecake for his special date! The kid has good taste, what can I say! So, I told him to run get dressed and handsome. He came back a few minutes later wondering what kind of clothes I usually wear when I go on a date with Dan. Too precious. He ran and quickly picked out a pair of khaki pants and a shirt that he proclaimed would be handsome for our date! He was so excited! Several times on our way to Starbucks and while we were there he told me how much he like having Zeke and Mommy time. I'm thinking we will have to be sure and do it more often.Getting ready to leave. Kaiyah wasn't so crazy about the plan, but ended up having a great time with Daddy!Yummy cheesecake and Carmel hot chocolate!
After we ate we headed over to do our work stuff. Zeke started complaining that his belly hurt. Who's wouldn't after eating cheesecake at 9:00 AM. This is him relaxing, trying to help his belly. Unfortunately it continued to hurt all through the day and I put him to bed an hour early running a temperature. Hopefully this won't be characteristic of all "Zeke and Mommy" times!

Valentine's Day is Coming!

The kids worked hard today to get their valentine cards made!

Fun with Daddy

Today is a gorgeous day that is apparently going to be sandwiched in the middle of some not-so-nice days. The past few days have been rainy and tomorrow it is supposed to turn cold again. So, while I was off at a friend's home, Dan and the kids took advantage of the weather and headed outside for their favorite activities: feeding the birds, play in the park, and buying a special snack (no wonder kids love their dads). These first couple of pictures are of Zeke talking to the birds, "Don't run away birds!" He's a funny one!

And here is one of Kaiyah just because she's cute!
