My Boys

I took these pictures this past weekend while we were grocery shopping. I just love these boys!!! I am definitely one lucky girl to have these beautiful and amazing guys in my life!

Wii Obsession - It Runs in the Family

This is the sight of our home most nights - the moment that Shawn walks through the door, Kellen becomes super excited to play "Mario-Round" with Shawn (it is Mario Brothers on Wii). They started this trend a couple of weeks ago, and now play every night together. It is actually pretty cute to see how excited Kellen gets to do this with his Daddy - it is their "thing" to do right now!

Play-Doh Rules!

For his birthday, Kathy bought Kellen a super cool Play-Doh set that involves Mr. Potato Head! Kellen absolutely LOVES it! He plays with it every day! Thanks, Kathy!!!

Tired After A Long Day of Playing

Over the weekend, Kellen played outdoors, went for a walk, went to the park, and just had lots of fun playing around the house. By dinner time, this is how Kellen looked - very relaxed and ready for dinner and bedtime! What a cutie!!

Finally - Kellen eats Jam!!!

As everyone knows, Kellen is not one for any type of sauces. He likes everything plain. He has started to like peanut butter and jam sandwiches, as well as cheese sandwiches (but they have to be made with very thin layers of jam, peanut butter, or mayonnaise). Last week, Kellen and I were having breakfast together and we decided to have toast and cuties. I put jam on my toast, and finally got Kellen to try my toast....well, he absolutely loved it! So, we put jam on his toast, and he loved every single bite! Needless to say, he has been asking for toast and jam a lot these days!

Enjoying the Snow with Lita!

Over Kellen's birthday weekend, Lita stayed for a couple of days. We had a good snow fall, so Lita and Kellen decided it would be fun to play in the snow! Here are some pictures of them building their snow tower!

Good job guys! Kellen has a stick that he used to top his snow tower. He says that the stick is just like Grandpa's stick (Grandpa's cane) - he even walks around with it and says that he is just like Grandpa. If only Grandpa were here to see how his grandson remembers him.

Kellen's 4th Birthday Party

Last weekend, we celebrated Kellen's 4th birthday party! Kellen was so excited for his birthday party - he could barely contain his excitement! We decided to have his birthday party at a play place called Rainbow World. Kellen has been to other birthday parties there in the past, and has always enjoyed himself. Kellen had 6 of his friends from daycare join us this year, which was fun!

Above are pictures of Parker hanging out with Auntie April. There were air guns that made some pretty loud noises, which scared Parker. So, he needed some cuddles. Luckily, the air guns were quickly turned off!

And, Lauren seemed to have a great time crawling around - she really liked a little slide that lit up with cool lights!

Kellen had lots of fun on this cool swing set - these drop balls spin around, and the kids have to hold on while it spins!

Some of Kellen's friends (Sophie and Liam) were having fun on the little slide too!

Kellen having fun in the little ball pit!

Liam and Kane having fun in the jumping castle!

Uncle Garrett helping out Lauren - I think she was trying out the ball swings!

Inside the kids climbing gym, was a super cool machine that shoots foam balls into the air...the kids were mesmerized by it!

Happy birthday, Kellen!!!!!

He was so happy to have everyone singing "happy birthday" to him!

Yummy birthday cake!

John and Cameron playing a very serious game of air hockey!

Lita on duty - she was in charge of collecting all the foam balls for the ball machine!

John on a large bouncy ball.

Kellen and Sophie had a blast running through the kids area together.

Parker really enjoyed watching all the balls fly into the air! He would have Lita collect the balls, and when the bin was full, he would press the button to turn on the machine....they did this many, many times!

Janna-Marie standing in the middle of the flying balls!

A very happy birthday boy!

Kane and Sophie playing hop-scotch.

Another very serious game of air hockey!

Here is John trying to give Kellen a hug goodbye - but Kellen was too interested in handing out the rest of the lootbags to his other friends!

When we got home, it was time for Kellen to open all of his presents!

Here is Lita helping him out with the presents.

....and here is Kellen enjoying some of his new toys!
