My Boys

Well Kohen is finally old enough that him and Kason are really starting to entertain eachother. This is the moment I have been waiting for ever since Kohen was born. Kason is one of those kids who is constantly needing someone to play with, and although I love to play with him, its nice to not be the sole soure of entertainment anymore!
This very accurately shows my boys personalities....Kason, always wanting to be in control of the situation, and Kohen just going with the flow. Oh, and please ignore the chaotic mess in the background:)

Long time, no blog!

Yes, I know, it has been a crazy long time since I have done a post. To be honest, I feel a bit overwhelmed with where to begin and have been putting this off thinking its going to get easier...??? But yes, we are alive and well:) The boys are growing like weeds and are keeping me on my toes. Kohen is becoming mobile....travel rolling is what we call it. He just rolls over and over until he gets to his desired destination. In fact, hes doing it next to me as we speak....rolling around in my laundry pile (maybe I should take the hint and fold the laundry) He also got his first tooth the other day! My baby, already getting so big:(

Kason is still busier than ever, I honestly dont know how I keep up with this animal. It wears me out but I love every minute of it. Ok, thats a lie....we will say ALMOST every minute of it:) His new obsession is playing with cars. He has about 5 or 6 that go everywhere with him. And they'er bigger cars, so carrying them all at the same time is an impossible task, even for me. Even so, he attempts it each time he moves to a different area of the house, and has a major meltdown when they wont all fit in his arms. The joys of being two years old, attemping the impossible and having a tantrum when it doesnt work out the way you planned.

Nick and I are doing well, we celebrated our 3rd anniversary last month. Most people would say, I cant believe its already been 3 years, but I say... "I cant believe its ONLY been three years. Our lives have been jam packed, I wonder how we have fit it all in! But I love him more than I did the day I married him. He is the best husband in the world, and more than I ever hoped for.

Also, last week, I FINALLY finished my pilates training program. Its the best feeling in the world to be done! No more homework, woohoo! Even though it was rough, it was an amazing experience to participate in the program, and my love for the work has grown immensely! I will be working at the Pilates Pathway in CDA and will be just doing VERY part time for now until my busy life allows me to do more.
Well, enough for now. I will update with recent pics soon.

KASON TURNS 2

Kason celebrated his 2nd birthday on June 17, I know, I am a little behind (the story of my life lately). We had a family bbq the weekend before which was tons of fun. I forgot to buy candles for the cake (believe it or not), so we improvised and made our own out of wooden skewers. Sad, I know. it didnt work as well as we hoped so poor Kason didnt get to blow out any candles. Better luck next year I guess:)

He may not have had candles, but he got a lot of great presents. His favorite of the day was a pretend saw from aunt Shelly and uncle Rick. Go figure....another "be like daddy" toy. Those are the best. He looked so cute with the safety goggles on sawing the carpet.






On his actual bday, which was a Tuesday, we ventured up to Chuck E Cheese. He had such a blast with cousin Kora. He loved all the games and rides and learned a little lesson about money. He kept saying "more money" every time a ride would end. Now he has a better understanding of why Nick leaves each morning to go to work. He'll say 'money, cheese'....which translates too, 'Dads going to make money so we can go to Chuck E Cheese again.' Its pretty cute. Here are some pics of the fesivities

A Belated Happy Father's Day

I didnt get a chance to do a post last week, but I couldnt leave out telling my wonderful hubby Happy Father's Day! He is such an amazing daddy to our boys, they are so incredibly lucky!

Here's some pics of daddy and the boys. As you can see, Kason is always Nick's little sidekick. He loves his daddy more than anything!


Kason is using the golf club as his weed wacker....kids and their imaginations. I love it!



Kason is obsessed with mowing the lawn....if only he could push the real one!

And of course, Nick with baby Kohen, who cant wait to join in all the fun!

Post Falls Days

Well, the annual Post Falls Days took place over the weekend and we managed to find a bit of sunshine to enjoy some of the festivities. Kasons favorite was the giant bounce toy. He had a blast and we had a heck of a time getting him to leave. It wasnt quite "adult" size, but I eventually had to go in and drag him out. It was actually fun being in there and getting to see him enjoying himself so much. I think he would have stayed in there all day!

We then headed over to the little carnival and there was a ride where you sit in cars and pretend to drive while it moves along a track. Kason saw it and was so excited, and I thought for sure he would love it. Well, he did....until it began moving. Once he realized he was in motion, he had a panic attack and the carni had to stop the ride to let him out. I couldnt help but laugh. Hes a lot like his mom. Fortunately, I was able to snap a pic before the ride started, when he was actually having fun!
Nick and I were also able to go on our first date since Kohen's arrival. We got Grandma and Grandpa Pintler to babysit and we had a wonderful time. It was very relaxing and the food was DELICIOUS! I love being able to actually talk to my hubby and enjoy his company without worrying about Kason throwing a tantrum or doing flips off of his chair. Wish we could do it more often, but I did miss my little boys.

Kissing Games

Part of Kason's bedtime routine is giving kisses to Mommy, Daddy and little brother before going down for the night or naptime. We all love getting our kisses, but Kason (who is always pushing the limits) began taking it a bit too far. It started out with family kisses, then he decided he had to give his toy car, the TV, car keys, tables, and various toys bedtime kisses too. Even though this is simply his way of delaying bedtime, Nick and I thought it was hillarious the first couple times he did it. But, this is a bit ridiculous.


The lovely print on Kasons face is that of our outdoor firepit cover. Yes folks, he gave that dirty thing a kiss.

Dont worry, it wasnt in use at the time.
