I mean....

Kyle has the freakin life!

Cody turned what?! 4?!

My baby is not a baby anymore! Cody turned 4. The kids stayed at Mikes for a week and came home on the his birthday morning. Cody walked in and I had balloons all over and a big Happy Birthday sign! He immediately asked what it was all for with a big smile...I told him it was for him and he said in the sweetest most excited voice "Thanks Mom!!!!" It was so sweet. We had a few people over and he got some fun stuff. Our dear friends the Parks decided to give us a pet. A hermit crab. Thats a whole other blog! Heres some pics from the party!

Cody and his cool Thomas the Train cake!


Nathaniel, Bryce, Code and Leah


Get ready.....


Meet Crabby

MMMmmm good!

Kyle eats Tomato soup now!! I know, I can hardly believe it!!! I am beyond excited. For those of you who don't know, my 6 year old has the diet of...well he lacks a diet! He will eat very few things and its been HELL trying to get him to try new foods! We have been working on new foods for months and finally have stumbled upon this and he eats it (well drinks it from a straw but who cares, my son eats something other than chips!). Woo hoo, Go Kyle!

Brotherly Love

After a busy weekend, being lazy and stayin in jammies sounded really good this mornin! I decided to load the kids up and drive to Mc Donalds for some really healthy breakfast ;) Well, I got down the street and realized I forgot my purse. I quickly turned around and Kyle began to cry. He was told where we were going and I threw him off by turning around to go back home!! He was quite upset!

Cody softly said to his older brother, "KYle it's ok, mom just forgot her purse. Don't cry." It was so sweet. I kinda got teary eyed. I immediately told Cody how nice he was and what a good brother he was being. I have had to explain to Code several times that Kyle's brain works differently than his and that Kyle doesn't always understand things. So Cody says back to me "Kyle's brain is different than mine, mom. Maybe I could give him some of my brain so he can talk and so he won't cry." What a great moment!

I started to think how lucky Cody is to have Kyle as a big brother. He teaches Cody so much. It's not like what most older brothers teach their younger brothers, it's so much more! :) I love my boys!
