Fence Climbing 101

After Steele took a tumble from climbing over the fence, (we looked out the window and he was hanging by one arm) Aunt Clare decided to teach him the proper way to climb it. I just enjoyed taking pictures of my soon to be 3 year old.

Big Brother Steele

Well... Steele is still adjusting to being a big brother. I think it frustrates him that Kase can't do anything so he messes with him. He loves to talk to him in the mornings, he always wants to know if he's awake or asleep, and has to know where Baby Kase is at all times. So I definitely think he loves his brother, but Steele is also the type to do everything he can to get some kind of response from someone. So Kase will definitely be a tough guy after putting up with Steele, he'll have to be.

Steele will be 3 in a few short weeks and I can't believe it. Time goes by so fast! Here are some of his favorites right now...

*apples and strawberries

*race car brownies

*going to church

*monster trucks

*playing with Chick and Cole (his puppies)

*pulling out every toy he owns

*laying in his bed

*riding the lawnmower with his daddy

*watching Curious George and Scooby Doo

His new favorite saying is "I'm tired of doing ...."

Sweet Kase

Kase was 7 weeks old yesterday and I got some cute pics of him grinning on the couch. He is still sleeping great, growing a lot, and starting to become more active and cooing. Some things about him...

He likes...

*the Itsy Bitsy Spider song

*the ceiling fan (he stares at it even if its not on)

*milk and lots of it

*his frog blankie(in the pics)

*baths (most of the time)

*being outside

*big lights

*to be held

He dislikes...

*sleeping in his bassinet during the day

*waking up in his swaddling blanket

*Steele in his face

*diaper changes

*when you first put him in the car (but then he goes to sleep)

He has already been a few places...

*2 baseball games

*church a few times

*Wal-Mart (of course)

*our vet's office

Daddy's Boys

Do they look alike?

Kase is on the left and Steele on the right. They are both 1 month old in these pictures and I thought since they had the same outfit on they would look more alike. But I personally don't think they look that much alike. I see some features that they share but overall I don't think they look alike. What do ya'll think?

Sweet Nanny

This is my grandmother, Nanny, with her two great grandsons. She loves them so much as she does all her grandchildren. She did not want me to take her picture but this is the only picture I have so far of her and Kase. Nanny kept Steele when he was a baby and still helps me out when I need to go somewhere. He loves to go to Nanny's and play with "Nanny's puzzles and toys".

Hippity Hoppity Easter

We had a great Easter weekend. We hunted eggs, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, ate a delicious Easter dinner on Sunday with the whole family (mine and JP's), and just enjoyed the company we were with.

Steele had a ball hunting Easter eggs with our neighbors Jackson and Bri. Everytime he found one, he would say in a sing song voice "I found one." He found some with money, but his favorite thing was one with a toy frog in it.


The Easter Bunny came and left Steele a large basket with lots of cool things. If you asked Steele what the Easter bunny brought he would say "another car and another monster truck". He was very excited about them as you can see from the bottom left picture.

Kase on the other hand didn't care much for his basket of goodies (pacis, gas drops, car seat toys). I'm sure next year he will be eating chocolate with his big brother!

I tried to get a good picture of them in their Easter outfits but didn't have much luck.

1. There are only so many ways (maybe 2) to sit them together.

2. It is extremely hard to get them to look at the camera at the same time!

3. Newborns always look constipated or confused when trying to get a good picture, unless they have gas and you might get a smile:)

So, here are the best out of many more that I got and some are just funny.

Kase's 1st Easter was also his first visit to church. We were so glad to be able to go back to Sunday School and church. Kase was a champ and slept most of the time. This outfit is also the one that Steele wore to church his first time and his baby dedication. They were almost exactly the same age and Kase fills out the outfit a little better than Steele did.
