A Christmas Story

Many times in my life with these boys has seemed a little like A Christmas Story. However, here is a prime example of this. Here is how we get Camden to eat a little more of the good stuff on his plate. He acts like a dinosaur...and then provides a dino-burp at the end. It's pretty classy, and it is something we will need to stop by next week when he is back in daycare. :-)

Five Year Old Cake

Caelan's cake demands have changed from a green cat cake to a pirate fighting a dragon. Here his Aunt Kally did an excellent job with frosting and sprinkles for Caelan.

Summer Update

We have had, hands down, the best summer so far! Due to the excellent day time weather, the boys and I have been swimming every single day, and that is no exaggeration. It's pretty fun to have a little blow up pool at our house and a 3 ft pool with super cool neighbors next door. That always helps. Besides the water, we've been enjoying company with friends, the Lincoln Children's Museum, the movies, baseball games, the zoo a few times, and some neighborhood get-togethers. It's an understatement when I say I don't want to go back, but all good things end and we'll be ready to make new memories with Caelan starting Kindergarten.

Caelan is Five!

But he is 30 in his mind. This kid is hilarious. He has many responsibilities now that he is this age. He will go to Kindergarten this year. He has to help mom with chores and cooking and most importantly, his biggest responsibility is being an amazing big brother. I can't believe this little guy is 5. He's truly one of the two best things in this world!! We love you, Caelan!

Ps. Here he is posing with his super awesome birthday card that pulls out like a guitar and plays rock music. He is also standing by his brand new bike! Our goal is to get him without training wheels asap!

Too Many Pop Songs

Caelan must have heard a pop song discussing the breakage of hearts. He used to sing it ballad-style, and now he has progressed or regressed (however one views the situation) to a scream-o style pop song. Brother, as usual, is the back-up singer.

Camden's Night Alone with Grawa and Papa

4th with Family

The boys were able to watch and shoot off fireworks with my cousin's kiddo, Caden. All of my grandma's great grandchildren's names start with "C". They had a good time.

BIG. BOY. BED.

He loves it and has not yet (knocking on wood), tried any funny business. He's so darn big!
