My Funny Boys

My boys have been cracking me up lately.

On the ride to soccer the other morning,
Jack: Kaleb, when I grow up I'm going to be a construction worker and build buildings, and houses, and best of all, fences!
Kaleb: wow Jack
Jack: Kaleb, when you grow up you're going to be a garbage man.
Kaleb: Yep.

This morning when I picked Jack up from preschool his teacher says "oh do I have a story for you" I was like uh o what did he do. She said they were doing a Thanksgiving craft and she was asking all of them what they were thankful for and Jack said "I'm thankful for my penis" LOL

We have going to stores and looking for stuff to put on our list for Santa and poor Kaleb just doesn't get it yet. He puts stuff in the cart and when I take it and put it back on the shelf he reaches for it and cries "my santa, my santa"

The other day Jack had a construction site and looked at me and said "mom I don't want to tell Santa about this we just need to pay for it now" LOL

I love that Kaleb's speech has exploded and Jack and him are having real conversations. They are so cute and Kaleb looks up to his big brother so much. He wants to do everything Jack does and he says everything Jack says and trust me Jack bosses him around and Kaleb is happy to comply :) One of my favorites is when Jack is bossing Kaleb he will say "got it Kaleb" and Kaleb says "Yep"

I put Kaleb to bed first at night then go and read to Jack and put him to bed. Well lately Kaleb hasn't been wanting to go to bed so this is what I find when I come out of Jack's room. He won't look me in the eye and he has his usual scowl on his face.  Also those are his buckets that he carries everywhere whit his favorite toys in them :)

My life would be so boring without these two! I love them so much!!

Waiting for their popcorn!!!

Happy 4th Birthday Jack!!

Jack was so excited for his birthday this year. Last night he told me "mom, after I lay down and take a little rest and wake up it will be my birthday. Right?" He is so funny. He is so smart too. I know I say it all the time but he really amazes me. He picks up on stuff so easily and does so well in preschool. I gave him the Thomas ribbon this morning and at church he would tell everyone he saw that he had that ribbon on cause it was his birthday :) We had a small party this afternoon and Annie, Amelia, Sam, Madison, McKenzie, Carson, Kristen, Maddy, Gavyn, Mar, Eli, and Geoff came and had pizza, cake and ice cream. I asked him last week what kind of cake he wanted and he said Thomas the train. He was so excited about that cake. He sit on the counter with it the first 30 min after I brought it home.  I'm so glad the kids could come celebrate with him. They have celebrated every birthday so far with him. This will be our last year in CO so I'm a little sad cause I know we won't have them at our party next year. Happy Birthday Jack!! Mommy and Daddy love you so much :) 

This is a picture from Jack's first birthday party. The kids were decorating balloons. We have added quite a few since then :) 

A few night ago I was skyping with Josh and he decided to come home for Thanksgiving! We booked his tickets for Christmas back in Aug and thought we would be fine until then but this has been hard on all of us. I was so excited when he said he wanted to come. At first he said he wanted to come this weekend for Jack's birthday because he has missed all of them except when he turned two and that one wasn't fun because we had just moved into the house and our furniture came that day so we spent the day unpacking. Anyway I really didn't want to spend $800 for him to be here only a day and a half so Thanksgiving was our next option. I made these countdown activities for the boys so they will pull one feather and one leaf and when they are all gone all they know is they get a surprise! I can't wait for us to go to the airport and get their dad. I know they are going to be so excited :)
