Zeke and Kaiyah Watching TV...

Tami got this video the other day of Zeke and Kaiyah watching TV together. He loves his sister!

Beside lying in the floor, they also like to sit on the arm of the couch.

Zeke's Blanket....

Well, it's been over two years since we divided Dan's former blanket into two for him and Zeke. If you don't remember, you can read about that if you click here.

Since then, we lost Zeke's little one and Dan got his own king size knit blanket, so Zeke inherited Dan's portion of the big blanket. And two years later, Zeke is just as attached to it, but we don't usually take it out with us anymore. Zeke says he will get rid of his blanket at some point, but not yet. We don't think he'll have a choice before too much longer. The blanket is in a lot worse shape than it once was, and Zeke likes to pull on its strings, so that doesn't help either. Anyway, here's a picture of all the strings Dan cut off of it today. That's Zeke in the background, lying on his blanket and sucking his thumb.

Happy Birthday, Kaiyah!

Kaiyah's birthday was this past Saturday and we had a lot of fun celebrating. We had doughnuts in bed from Krispy Kreme, Tami made a beautiful Boots cake, and we had lots of friends come over and celebrate with us. Fun stuff! Here are a few pictures. For more, click here.

Yogurt Caper...

Well, we have been a week or so in our house without yogurt, so today, while at the grocery store, Kaiyah and Zeke each picked out some that they wanted. After dinner, Tami and I were in the living room playing with the kids and Kaiyah disappeared for a few minutes. She came back later with a spoon, a yogurt cup, and yogurt all over her. She couldn't wait until breakfast. She was trying to get into the cup she was holding and upon entering the kitchen, I found that she had already eaten three more. She had gotten all the yogurt we bought out of the fridge and had eaten three of the kind she picked out. After I took a few pictures, I put the yogurt safely in the butter tray in the upper part of the refrigerator, so all should be safe for now. (-:

Easter Morning...

Well, we have some interesting kids. Our 3 1/2 year old boy loves to dress up, but he doesn't like anyone to see him until he's ready. Our almost 2 year old girl HATES to dress up. She was okay once we got her in the dress, though. Enjoy this video. We'll get some pictures on the family blog a little later.

Kaiyah Has a Cold...

Kaiyah learned how to blow her nose when she got a cold this year. It was pretty cute.
