For my birthday boy!

Kayson Danny had his 2nd birthday a couple weeks ago. I can't believe it has been two years since my sweet boy was born. It seems like a couple months ago we were celebrating his 1st birthday, and a month or 2 more when I was holding him in my arms at the hospital. Yet I can truly say it is hard to even think of what my life was like before I was a mom. Oh, I remember it (my mom brain isn't THAT bad yet) .. but you understand! My boys are the joy of my life. I think back on the last two years with Kayson and have so many wonderful memories already: sleeping in my arms as an infant (I couldn't get my eyes off him), realizing his eyes were going to be deep, dark brown, his excema, the army crawl, so many smiles, his "cheese" smile with the scrunchy nose, listening to him learn to talk (that's still going on!), first steps, kissable lips, eating and eating and eating, "talking" on phones, loving soft blankets, lots of laughter, kisses (mmm, I love sweet Kayson kisses), tight hugs, zrrbt's (otherwise known as blow kisses), "cheese", woo woo k-ch-k-ch-k-ch woo woo (train), his facial expressions (loads of 'em), looking at me with those dark brown eyes with so much love, etc, etc, etc. I love my Kayson so much. I'm so glad he is a part of my life!! We had such a fun time for his birthday. He got a tricycle. He loves it! He woke up to it in the living room with a bow on it. He ran up to it, grinned at me, and said "bike" then rode on it most of the day! I was quite pleased with his cake. He loves cars and trains so this is what I did. Do you think he likes it? Blowing out his TWO candles! He had 3 friends come to his party - one from the neighborhood and 2 co-workers of Jess'. They seemed to have a good time with the cars to drive around, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, Kayson's presents, and the pinata! Of course none of them could break it, but they sure had a lot of fun trying! It was a wonderful day. We all had such a good time. I love being a mom!

Water Fun!

Kayson loves to play in the water. He always has, but last year was more reserved when it was cold. I think this year he has got past that. Last week, the sprinklers were on, he was enjoying looking at them thru the window. Then I showed him what fun sprinklers really can be. This is us AFTER our fun of running thru the sprinklers. We told him to show daddy how much fun he had ... This week I spent up at my mom's .. just for a change in scene. It really made me want a back yard b/c of all the fun he had. One of the days, Kenna set up her water toys in their back yard. The cousins had a blast! Then Kayson and Jason bathed together too. hee hee. Sharece and I were worried at first .. will they do okay together? (Sometimes they want the same toys and don't play well together). But they had a lot of fun splashing and playing! I didn't get any good ones of both, but I got some good cheezer grins! We had such a fun time at mom's house. It was a nice break for me!

Party time

Almost 2 weeks ago, we had a bunch of ppl come to our house for Sharece's birthday. Shonda and her fam were in town, my parents were driving thru, Vince (and Ambier) lives close, and Sharece (and Jason) came for the party! We had a really good time. It was fun for me to meet little Renae .. what a beautiful little girl. This is the two newest "grand kids" in our family. They are just under 2 months apart .. I can't believe how big Lendon is compared to her! Sweet grandparents love their babies so much! It makes me so happy to see how loved my kids are from their grandparents. I love you, mom and dad! Thanks for having a birthday, Sharece, so we could have that fun party!

Trip to the Aviary

A couple weeks ago, we went to the aviary with some good friends of ours. October (their little girl) and Kayson have so much fun together. They loved looking at the birds, holding hands, and playing at the park together. I haven't seen Kayson play with anyone so well in a while. It's nice to see them playing together! The peacock was showing off for us, they both thought that was pretty neat (who wouldn't!).

Kayson's pucker!

I mentioned once that I always beg for kisses from Kayson .. and I just wanted to share why. Tempting, eh!?!

Oh boys!

Lendon sure is growing up! It seems like time is going faster than it did when Kayson was little .. probably because my time isn't only for Lendon so I don't see everything every moment. Look at those big cheeks! Lendon loves to look at toys now! He just studies things. My favorite thing, tho, is that even when he's looking at toys, when I come close enough, his attention turns to me! Kayson likes the "new" toy too .. and thinks it should be his!

Don't mind the crying .. he just decided he was done "right now!"

Here is a video of my Kays. We got a new camera a while back and our old one is now Kayson's, since it doesn't work very well any more. He loves it!
