Update

Time sure gets away! I'll chock it up to the fact that we have just been having fun now that summer is here.:)

We celebrated Kellen's 4th birthday on July 9 -- I think in my last post I listed all the things we were doing that day.:) It was a fun day, though Kellen didn't take a nap that day so that always makes for a less-than-fun evening. We didn't have his birthday party until July 17th, it was a lot of fun! We had about 45 people here & it was a beautiful day. Kellen was...less than social, but he also didn't take a nap that day either. Plus he got so many cool presents he really just wanted to go play!

A few other highlights from the last couple weeks:

*We have gone swimming in the pool a couple of evenings, & Kellen has gotten his swim trunks on & gone in the pool every time! Granted, it takes him until 7:30 to reach this point, so by that time he is down to 20 minutes of pool time...but who cares! I'll take it!!
Kaarin & Annika LOVE the pool, so they have been having a blast. The evening is such the perfect time to go, there are only a couple of people still at the pool!

*Annika has been doing awesome at going pee pee on the potty, & even went poo poo for the first time ever!! (on the potty, that is) She has been spurring Kellen on a bit, as he usually goes in to go when she does.:) But he still won't wear underwear, & still isn't using the potty 100% during the day. Sigh. Baby steps with him...If I can just get 1 out of diapers (I don't care who!!) I'll be happy!

*We are loving the sunny weather!!

*Papa & Bestemor came to stay with us for several days, & daddy & Papa played in a golf tournament. It is always fun having them here!

*Grandma has babysat a couple of times, while mommy, daddy, Papa & Bestemor went to dinner for the golf tournament - yum!

*Annika said to me one morning: "I like you, mommy - you pretty!" All this with wet hair & no makeup.;)

*Yesterday I made Kellen & Annika a sandwich & Kellen said, "What kind of sandwich is this?" I said, "Cheese - grilled cheese." Kellen said, "No, I'm a boy - it's a boy-cheese sandwich." :)

Happy 4th Birthday, Kellen!

Today is my sweet boy's 4th birthday! Here's what we have planned for the day:

*His choice for breakfast (he picked waffles, but didn't eat much of it, so I'm not sure he loved them - they were homemade!)
*A visit to Toys R Us to pick out a toy with his birthday gift card (he picked Rheneas the train -- I tried to encourage him to look at other toys as well, but he was set on a train...)
*Lunch with Daddy at Round Table Pizza! Kellen ate 3 pieces - guess he was hungry from very little breakfast...
*Nap time (right now)
*TOY STORY 3!!!!!!!! We are just taking Kellen & Annika, Kaarin is going to go hang out with her cousins.:) This will be the first movie in the theater for them!
*Cake & presents! Kellen chose cherry cake, so we'll see if he likes it...:) We baked it last night so we wouldn't have to worry about running out of time today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KELLEN! WE LOVE YOU!
