i know, i know...

I really need to do better job of keeping up with this... but where does the time go? I did want to just say hello. Kyler also had his 2 year well child check up yesterday. He is doing great they said. He only weighted 21 lbs 15 oz. Dr said he was not concerned because 1 he is still growing and following his own growth curve just fine and 2. He is still good on his height. He said if he was not getting enough to eat or such he would not be growing taller. So that was good.

Kyler is saying more and more every day. He is about to that point where he will at least try to say anything you ask him to say. And putting two and three words together. When we were pulling in to the dr appointment yesterday he pointed to the hospital. I told him that is where you go is you are really sick or have bad owie( I dont have any idea how to spell that!!). I said that is where the Dr are and they will fix you. He said Dr fix you? Then I said yes if you have an owie. He pointed to his knee and said owie!

well I hope to get a little more on here this weekend but you know how that goes. We are in KC tonight hopeing to hit up some good deals in Leavenworth, KS in the morning. We also picked up a new swing set at Toys R Us so that will be a job to get put together... but Kyler will be so excited!!

Birthday party #2

We had birthday party number #2 on his birthday Monday at home with Sheldon's family. I made the cutest ice cream cone cupcakes. I was so pleased at how they turned out. Kyler loves Ice Cream Cones... no ice cream just the cone. So I thought these would be perfect.

And he loved blowing out the candles again...

He got two cards that played music... they were a hit!

Aunt Mindy, Uncle Sonny, and Cousin Kobly got him his first pair of roller skates... he wanted to put them on right way. He obviously gets his skating ability form his dad and needed lots of help. Especially in the kitchen. After being in the kitchen he did brave it and went a little ways in the living room on the carpet by himself.

Easter Morning...

So Kyler didn't sleep well Saturday night and was not to chipper that morning. He seen all the eggs but I think was a little over welmed. Just like the Easter Egg hunt he got one and wanted to eat the candy...

Here he is with his chap stick... he loves playing with that stuff.

The Easter bunny brought this cute little sponge bob back pack that has wheels and a handle to pull it with... he loves it. He has always been one to want to pull or push what ever it is we do... like my suit case that is big enough for him to get in.

All in All... I think he was pretty tired after his long Easter weekend.

Easter Egg Hunt

Here are a few pictures of Kyler at the big Easter Egg Hung in Kirksville last Saturday. He would get one egg and that's all he was interested in. When we got there they were all scattered in the grass.... that is when he really wanted to get them. But we had to wait till they blew the siren.

Birthday Party #1.

Ok.. it has only taken me a week to get some birthday party pictures on here. Here are pictures of his 1st 2nd birthday party. We had two. He had a blast. While opening presents he just kept saying "more, more?". He loves balloons so we had lots of pretty colored balloons. Grandma Nancy made the lovely circle cakes. They were yummy.

He loved blowing otu the candles. After he got them blowed out he said... " more, more?" So we had to light them again to blow them out. He had the hang of it this time and blew the first candle out before I got the second lite... so we had to do it one more time.

King for the day....

Jump

Ok so there isn't much to this video. Kyler was having so much fun jumping out of this little high chair. He jump and land like a sack of potatoes. Then just giggle. But by the time I got my camera out I think he was getting tired. This was also a really shot clip so I was able to get it to down load here at home.

Pictures

Here are some pictures of our Easter Egg coloring this past weekend.

Monday down... bring on Tuesday.

Well where does the time go. I really need some new pictures don't I. I have a few I want to post just have not had the time. This weekend was very laid back but fun. Friday night we had to run back to town to get straps to strap the golf cart in the back of the truck so we went out to eat. With a ALMOST 2 year old you don't do that too often. But he was so good. I was so proud of him. He got a little squirmy at the end but was very well behaved. Then we went to Walmart. He was so funny in there. He wanted to walk like a big boy so we let him. I needed some deodorant so we was over by the pharmacy section and he spotted the gold fish!!! He took off running saying fish, fish. Then he just stood there with his nose as close to the glass as it could get with out touching. He was talking to them and pointing and smiling. I was too cute. Guess we need to make room for a fish aquarium... but not just yet. They are a lot of work.

Then Saturday Sheldon went golfing so me and Kyler went to town and got his hair cut. He looks so much like a little man. And gets so much braver with each hair cut he gets. He set up on her little stool like nothing. She draped the cape around him and he never fussed once. He usually pulls it off. She scooted him up to her drawer full of combs and brushes and he just there and played the whole time and never fussed once. He even let her use the clippers like they were no big deal. It was funny. Guess we will have to leave dad at home more often for hair cuts. Then off to HyVee for a few things. I'm a walmart fan all the way and most of the time just because its cheapest.. but after experiencing the police car and fire truck shopping carts there is not other option when I have Kyler with me. He just sets in there and drives the whole time. LOVE IT! But on a side note... i also had to pick up my prescription (birth control pills). They told me they were on back order till May!!! Who has heard of birth control pills being on back order!?!?! What has this economic crises came to? So luckily walmart had some in stock!! Shewww!!

Ok so then on home we went to get a bit to eat and off for a nap. He slept 2 1/2 hours so I got the dishes washed and the house picked up a little. I also made cup cakes... bad idea. They are almost all gone and its just Monday. I also boiled some eggs and get all ready to color Easter eggs. That was a fun. He got up and when he seen all the cups he was very curious. So we did them right way. He seen all the little tablets in the cups and gathered them all up. He also ate one... he would have been pooping green or blue or what ever color for weeks. Then we put the vinegar in and they kind of was fizzing. He thought that was cool. But then it came to putting the egg in the cups... yeah he wanted to help. SO I was kind of holding them and putting them in nice and easy. I thought he had the idea so I gave him one and told him to put it in easy... yeah right! It just so happened to be red and it splashed everywhere. Well my counters are old and white. Who puts in white counters? SO by the time we got done the counter looked like the Easter Bunny threw up on it. But nothing a little soft scrub can't handle.

Well this post is getting really long and that is about the highlight of our weekend. Sunday I had a baby shower and Sheldon took Kyler out to his mom and dad's for dinner. Then when he got home he didn't want to take a nap and was a little fire cracker by the time I got home. I think he had to set on the naughty step 3 times.

Today was a very busy day for me. Work was busy, then I went and walked after work. Got home just in time to eat, clean up, give Kyler a bath and put him to bed. Now I am on here for a bit and will head to bed!!! Wow...the work is never done for a MOM. That being said... I better get. Night Night as Kyler would say.
