Two Wheels Baby!!!

What can make a 6 year old boy more proud than anything??  Riding his bike with two wheels!  Joe took Kaleb outside to try taking off his training wheels.  They took them off together and Joe showed him how to ride.  Kaleb was a natural, he just sort of picked up his bike and rode off!! It took all of 20 minutes and he was a two wheel ridin' crazy man!  He rides his bike almost every day now!!  He's learned to stand while riding, skid his tires, and more!  He's had one or two small accidents but he's been SOOO brave and hopped right back on!  Thats my boy!! I should add that Joe is also the proudest dad in the world!!  He came running inside saying "teach your son to ride a bike...check!"  Goal accomplished!!

St Patricks Day

As with our wonderful tradition - the Leprechauns came to town!  We started our St. Patricks Day celebrations by making AWESOME leprechaun catchers.  Unfortunately we did not catch a leprechaun, we trapped some but they tore out of our catchers!  AND they destroyed our house again!!  On St. Patricks Day we woke up early and made delicions green eggs and spam!  Then we made green cupcakes with all sort of bright colored frostings.  We made of bunch for us to eat and enough to bring to the Applehans and Abselom families!  They were so yummy!! 

And then there were FIVE!!

We are having a baby!  I am currently 6.5 months pregnant so I am clearly a little late in announcing this on blogger, however, I do have great pictures to share because of the time that has passed!!  As I said, we're 6.5 months along, due August 9th, ITS A BOY, and we are so excited for this new addition to our little family!

King Arthurs Quest

Kaleb was in a play!  The Missoula Children's Theater came to town and we took him to audition.  Of 100+ kids and only 50 parts, he got one!  He played the mini white knight of the round table in "King Arthurs Quest."  It was the most adorable thing ever to watch him up there.  He did so good and wasn't shy or anything, he just did his part, sang his songs, and made us all so proud!  Here are some shots from his rehearsals and the play!

Worst Blogger EVER!!

Ok, so for the 1st time this year (and probably 10th time total) I am going to make a goal of blogging more often! I have really been bad about it! I didn't have a camera for a while which resulted in no pictures, but Joe got me an amazing camera for Christmas and I have no excuse rather than pure laziness! So, I am going to summarize the last four months of 2011!

September -

Joe and I had our 4th anniversary! Joe turned 27. I started going back to school, currently a student at LCSC studying Earth Science and back to work full time (I'm crazy)!! I think thats all!

October -

Halloween! The kids went at Princess Ariel and Batman! They had a great time! I did not have a camera so not a lot of pictures of Halloween!

November -

Thanksgiving! We went to my parents house in Asotin for Thanksgiving. It was awesome! Mom made a BUNCH of delicious food and we spent 3 whole nights down there enjoying good movies, company, and left overs!!

December -

I don't have many but I do have pictures from December (I'll put them on after this)!! December was a BUSY month for us! We had Christmas and Kaleb's birthday! We went to my parent's house for Christmas, it was awesome! The kids made out like bandits and Joe and I didn't do too bad ourselves!! We took the kids to the LDS Nativity Show were we got to dress up like our favorite characters and take pictures! It was soo much fun! We also took the kids to enjoy walking through the magical forest of christmas lights in Lewiston! Kaleb's birthday was big and small! We decided not to do a big celebration and instead invited some of our favorite family members over and had a great time celebrating his 6th birthday with family, oreo ice cream cake, a cheeseburger buffet (we had avocado, bacon, mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, etc) and overall it was a huge success. unfortunately I don't know how many pictures of this I have!! I was doing the food preparing and didn't get to my camera. Now I am a bad blogger and cameraman!! I will be better! Lastly, I finished my first semester back with all A's, a GPA of 4.0, and made the Presidents list (not to brag or anything)!!

Here are some pictures I do have!

ok - JUST KIDDING! Blogger won't let me upload pictures for some reason, so I will upload some more tonight if it will let me then!!! Love you!
