I am Going to Hell

So Eric and I were watching America's Got Talent the other night and I wanted the bike guy to win...I MAY HAVE said, (just before they walked out) "I don't like these kids, I hope they fall." My favorite quote from a bumper sticker..."Its all fun and games until someones gets hurt, then its frickin' hilarious."

I am so going to hell.

Hannah 5 Months Old

Hannah is 5 months old already!! Can't believe it! Here are some recent pictures. She has started eating. LOVES sweet potatoes, hates green beans, and has since stopped sleeping all through the night. She gets close. As you can see in the last picture, she has outgrown her swaddle blanket / wrap so she's all on her own - and lasts until about 4:00am. She's a growing girl, I mean come on - give her another bottle already!! She can push herself up, and holds herself up really good. Is constantly running whether she's in your lap, standing w/ you, or laying on the floor. She's going to be a mover and a shaker. Kayden has also started to call her "my little peanut." I'll have to get a video - cutest thing EVER! Here are some pics of our little 5 month old. I'll post some more pics of both kiddos in the next couple days to update everyone!


There's my precious girl!!! :) 5 months old!!


Giving Daddy some big smiles!


SOOO close to sitting up all by herself

Aren't you supposed to be napping??

She can push herself up all the way now.

Just catching some rays

Am I the cutest little 5 month old you've ever seen or what?? :)

This is how Eric found Hannah one morning. She was put in her crib the night before, on her back, facing the other way, and in her full swaddle blanket. Needless to say the little moose has since graduated from her swaddle blanket!

Sesame Street Live

Last Saturday we took Kayden to Sesame Street Live at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester. I was pretty excited b/c it was a 10:30 show. I thought - perfect, get home grab lunch and a nap and a productive day. It did work fairly well, but really - an intermission at an event for toddlers / preschoolers?? K did really really good in the beginning, and for most of it. But about half way through the 2nd half we hit shut down mode. The reason..."I JUST WANT TO SIT BY ELLMMMOOOO!!!!" Sob Sob. "I JUST WANT ELMO." Sob Sob. Not going to happen. He didn't quite understand that Elmo wasn't going to sit by him. But I thought it was funny, there was of course the adult humor, see the hair pics and the Footloose video. I think Eric even had fun!! I took a video of K's face when all the characters made their big entrance. CLASSIC (and too big to upload). So glad we took him!!


Hi Elmo!


BERT & ERNIE!


Listening patiently to Bert & Ernie introduce everyone

COOOOOKIE!!!

Some of the gang

K's two favorite people, Cookie & Elmo

Being a stinker during intermission...really, an intermission at a kids event, was this a smart idea??? The answer to follow in the next pictures.

Check out the hair - forget what song it was, but I was rolling on the floor when they came out.

Mid 2nd half....trying to walk off a tantrum

And Daddy settled him down long enough to watch the finale from the back!

Awesom show!!

The Sesame Gang jamming to their version of the classic Footloose song, I loved it!! :)

Mommy's Morning Off

This week was a busy week at work, and today is my only day off. So I was hoping the kiddos would do a little sleeping in. Nope. But when you look at these cute little faces, how could you resist!! K woke up and Eric went down and got him, since he woke up so early we told him he could have nuk and blankie for a little bit if he cuddled on the couch.

Funny K sayings...Last night we were getting ready to eat and Eric was on the deck and he was talking to us through the screen door. He let out a loud obnoxious belch and I glared at him and said "Eric, say excuse me." (Because we are really working on K saying it as well.) And K looks at me and says "scuse me mommy." I thought Eric was going to roll over he was laughing so hard. This morning when K came upstairs after waking up he went right in to check on Hannah who was just starting to talk. All I hear is "Hi little peanut, good morning little peanut. Hannah awake!" Eric always calls Hannah peanut or little peanut, apparently Kayden is catching on. :)


Just chillaxin' watching some Sesame Street

We have blankie, horsey, nuk, Taz (monster truck), and bunny (Hannah's). I think he's set.

Hannah doing her morning work out in the jumper!

The world's greatest smile!! Love the cheeks!!

We work out really hard some days....

Kayden has taken his Tickle Me Elmo as his own, he has to have a diaper and either sits in Hannah's jumper, or her Bumpo seat.

Kayden's Day at the Fair

Yesterday Eric and I took Kayden to the Steele County Fair in Owatonna. Very fun! We got there right when it opened before it got too hot or too packed. Perfect timing for a two year old. Lots of yummy fair food - I didn't even get mini donuts - BUT I highly recommend this....oh so delightful. http://www.minneapplepie.com/

We had so much fun, I think Kayden had the most fun - here is a brief summary of his day at the fair.

We walked in and saw the FREE tractor pull, here he is cheering one of them on.

Then we sweet talked some nice firemen who let Kayden hop into their truck.


He even got to sit in the driver seat and pretend to drive it...but he liked the back seat better.


Then we decided to let the lil' cowboy ride his first real horse!! I can't get the video from my cell phone to work - but (after he got used to it) he would yell..."yeehaw horsey, giddy up, go horsey!" He had everybody lol.



Such a little man


Petting zoo...okay these turtles are HUGE!

"Hi Deer."

Seriously, kangaroo's at a petting zoo?? Don't kangaroo's jump? Is it really appropriate to keep kangaroo's caged up in a little kids petting zoo?? They look really pumped to be there.

And we got to drive a DIGGER! I think the vest fits daddy better!

"Daddy, do you know what you are doing?? This is why you drive a truck at work huh dad?"

Saying Buh Bye to the digger, he's got his Dog Tag on from the Army booth. Has his name and everything on it, he's really excited to show Uncle Kyle!

Wore out, tired, and sweaty after his day at the fair with Mom and Dad!

Kayden says the darndest things

At this point w/ Kayden being over 2 year olds I really wish I would have started a note book of things he's said. But I suppose I still could, I have been putting a lot of them on here, and on facebook so I could just do some research and put them all on here. Here are some most recent things. The kid is a comedian, what can I say! :)


"I be right back Mommy, I naughty."

He trips over his shoes..."It okay, I be careful."

He doesn't really get the whole "I" concept....so its
My go outside
My be right back

This morning in the monitor he screams..."IT OKAY MOMMY I WAKE UP NOW."

"I bad owie, I kiss it."

His toy dump truck falls down..."Naugthy garbage truck...naughty, you got bad owie? It okay garbage truck. I kiss it."

Leaving Brenda's the other day, "I no leave Brenda's, Mommy. I stay at my Brenda's. Buh Bye Mommy." And he went and sat on her landscaping rocks in her front yard. lol

"My Hannah, she's so cute."

"Hannah pretty...mommy I said Hannah pretty."

Ah Man

Geez

As we're walking through the rest home to visit Great Grandma..."GREAT GRANDMA WHERE ARE YOU? GREAT G-MA ARE YOU?" Needless to say there were a lot of lil' old lady heads popping out of their rooms. He was a hit.

Last week, Friday the 13th, we had some huge storms / winds through Stewartville. After work when I picked up the kids I promised K we'd go visit Uncle Kyle. We drove through town and he says, "Mommy trees broken, all broken now." We drove to Holly & Kyle's and Kyle was working in the yard. "Kyle fix broken trees. Where Handy Manny? Manny fix it."

We're in the garage the other night and all of a sudden K takes off, we're like, Kayden?? "I go see what Ethan doin'," as he cruises into the neighbors garage.

Eric got a bug in his eye / contact the other night, now every night..."I got bug in my eye, it hurt real bad."

Hannah 4 Months

Our little Hannah Nana is already 4 months old!! She had her Dr's appt on August 4th, and she got 2 shots. She did SOO good, didn't even cry!! The first shot she just kind of grimaced in pain, the second one she just hollered and turned all red - I picked her up and hugged her and put her in her car seat and she was asleep before I had her all strapped in!! Mommy's tough girl!

15 lbs. 14 oz. / 90th percentile
24 inches long / 39th percentile
43.30 cm head circumference / 96th percentile (this makes me laugh, lol)

Hannah is doing so much already! This month, she rolled from her back to her stomach, and today at daycare she rolled from her stomach to back! She has tried oatmeal (not real fond of it). Is actually on a schedule. Loves her jumper, and actually jumps and moves around in it. Enjoys her swing and falls asleep in it (after crying it out, lol). Sitting in the baby tub like a big girl. Even trying to walk - she always has to stand up if we're holding her!


1st time w/out the little net in the tub holding her up


Giving Daddy some lovin'


There's our girl!


Oatmeal....not sure about this

Pretty girl!

Ready to walk...I don't think so little missy!

Look at those cheeks!

My baby girl!

She always makes me smile.
