Hanging out and Playing

Here is Kellen hanging out in his room (and wearing his super cool Superman shirt!)...He likes to show off his muscles, so here he is striking a muscle-man pose!

Having fun playing with his stuffed animals behind the chair in his room.

What a smile!!

Kellen just loves to hang out and play with his stuffed animals. The little tiger is a "gift" from daycare. This little tiger was always kept in the staff room at his daycare. Every single day, Kellen would look into the staff room to look at the tiger. When the owner saw him doing this one morning, I told her how much he loves the tiger. When we picked Kellen up that night, she had put the tiger in his cubby and told us that he could have it since it just hangs out there all day...since then, he has yet to put it down!

Mommy and Kellen goofing around together.

Relaxing with Daddy. I love how he looks in this picture...what a beautiful face!

Still relaxing together.....

SMILE!!! Kellen was so proud of his very tall tower that he built with his Lego.

And here he is telling me a story about his Lego as he rebuilds his tower.

Playing with Lego...and Hiding "Easter Eggs"

Taking a break from making Lego houses - here is Kellen having a box drink.....he loves these things!

Since Easter at Lita and Grandpa's house - Kellen LOVES to pretend it is Easter again! He will go around hiding pieces of Lego and pretend that they are Easter eggs! He will hide the Lego and run to find us and say "It's Easter time! Let's find the Easter eggs, everybody!!" It is pretty fun to see!

And digging around for more pieces...

Building his Lego house.....he really likes playing with his Lego to build houses, cars, dogs....pretty much anything!

Play Time with Mommy and Daddy

Giving Mommy some kisses while we were hanging out together on the couch....ahh, what a sweet little guy!

And sweet little smiles for Daddy!!

This past weekend was Easter! We had so much fun! On Friday, we had the Sinclair clan over for a BBQ and some fun times playing together and dancing while Grandpa played the guitar! Then on Saturday, we headed to Brockville to Lita and Grandpa's house for another Easter gathering! Kellen had lots of fun playing with Parker and loved going on the super fun Easter egg hunt! Unfortunately, we lost our camera while in Brockville so we do not have any pictures to show you (there were also some awesome pics of Kellen and I on the camera that I never had a chance to put on the computer...boooo!)

Anyways, that camera was on the brink of not working, so it was time to replace it with a new camera! We bought a new camera today and took some pictures to break it in!

Here is Kellen playing with this foam arrow/rocket - thing toy that he received for Easter...he was having a blast showing Shawn and I how to send this foam rocket into the air!

But, he took some time out of showing me his toy to give me a big kiss! Ahhhh!

All smiles when he is with his Daddy!

Let Me Play You A Song

For Christmas, Shawn and I bought Kellen a little keyboard. He loves to sit on the little bench that came with the keyboard and put on the headset (it has pretend earphones, but the little microphone actually works!) to play us some cool songs. Here he is putting on an amazing musical show for us! If you have ever watched "Friends", it reminded me of the episode where Ross plays his "music"....except it was much cooler when Kellen did this!

....and going for a wide range of musical notes....

Check out how totally into his music he is!!!

My Birthday Weekend in Brockville

This past weekend was my birthday (I turned 24.....no laughing!) and we went to visit Lita and Grandpa. The weather was so nice that Kellen wanted to spend all of his time outside. Here he is hanging out in the backyard with Shawn - He was having fun using a stick to dig holes to find little rocks!

April came to help celebrate my birthday and she brought Parker and Lauren!! Here are Grandpa and Auntie April relaxing and enjoying some time together.

....and here is Lauren hanging out with her Uncle Shawn and Grandpa.....I think she might be more interested in her toy than in Grandpa's story!

Lauren is getting so big! She already sits up all by herself, and she is so darn cute!!!! Here she is getting ready to head outdoors with Lita.

Here we are on a walk....now Lauren is looking at me like I am a bit crazy for always taking her picture! The weather was amazing over the weekend, so we had to take advantage of it and go for lots of walks.

Lita had a super old tricycle waiting for the boys to use while we were in town. Kellen is really good at pedaling a tricycle all by himself. He was able to go for a bicycle ride all the way around the entire block!

And after a long bike ride, Kellen decided that he needed to relax and watch a little Treehouse!

....and now getting a bit sleepy and wanting to cuddle with Mommy.

Kellen LOVES to play with play-dough! Luckily, Lita has some at her house, so Kellen decided it was time to pull it out and make some pretty cool shapes and letters!

Recently, Kellen learned how to spell his name! K-E-L-L-E-N!!!!

Kellen really enjoys helping out in the kitchen and helping mix things together when we are baking. So, Lita thought it would be lots of fun to make banana bread with Kellen! Kellen loved every minute of it, and was so proud of himself! Here he is breaking up the bananas.

.....and still breaking up the bananas.....it is banana bread after all!

Now helping Lita measure and pour the flour....he was pretty excited that Lita let him actually scoop the flour (and I was pretty shocked that Lita would let a little guy do this....as there was a bit of a mess!)

Catching Shawn off guard while taking a picture of Parker and Kellen setting up the Thomas train tracks.

Lita was showing Kellen how the treadmill worked. Kellen wasn't too sure how much he liked the idea of the floor moving underneath his feet....however, Parker loves the treadmill! Parker quickly came over to see what was going on and see if he could show Kellen how to use the treadmill.

After Kellen's banana bread was done baking, everyone quickly went to grab a piece! And the verdict was.....DELICIOUS!!!

A funny shot of Shawn and Kellen....can you tell that they were not prepared for the camera!?!?

And another funny shot - but this one is of Lita and Parker. Just like April when she was little, Parker likes to make silly faces when you take his picture!

Family

I thought I had already posted these pictures, but today when I checked the blog, they were not there. So, here we go again! This past weekend was my birthday, and we all went to visit Lita and Grandpa! Auntie April, Parker and Lauren also came for a visit! We all had lots of fun hanging out - and especially watching Parker and Kellen playing together. Here are April and I enjoying our visit together.

April and I hanging out with our favourite little guys.....gotta love Kellen's smile, eh!??!

And now Lita joins in with her girls and her favourite little guys...

Here are Parker and Kellen hanging out and playing in Lita and Grandpa's backyard...it doesn't have any grass yet, so the boys enjoyed playing in the dirt and digging holes! We thought it was pretty cute how they were wearing the same pants! Thank you, Tia Levi for the pants....they love them!!

Cuddles When We Don't Feel Well

Last weekend, the entire family was sick with bronchitis and strep throat (and I was super sick for the entire week...blah!). So, we had lots of time to just relax. We spent loads of time lying on the couch watching television; napping; and just being very low key. Here is Kellen after he started to feel better - he is enjoying a yummy snack while watching Dora!

Hanging out with Daddy. I think Shawn was pretty into this episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!

Something must be funny!

Some cuddles with Mommy - and sharing some laughs over a game we were playing on the IPod.

Loving our quiet time together....
