3^3


Last week was my golden birthday. I turned 27 on the 27th! It was a great day. Michael made sure I never stepped into the kitchen which always makes for a great day! He made me some wonderful meals and overall we just had a great time as a family.
In my family growing up we talked about our golden birthdays and I always dreamed of where I would be and what I would be doing. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect picture as where I am now.
here are some of our latest pictures...

This is one of Alden and Calvin playing together, which they do often! (It usually consist of Alden handing things to Calvin or him making funny noises at him, or Alden having Calvin wrestle him.)
This is Alden playing with one of my math toys! :) We made shapes on the geo-board. I love that he can kindof play with some of my math toys now.

This is Alden just after a party we went to at the library. They did a great job having some fun activities, the party was for an author of dinosaur books. We do really love our library, we spend a lot of time there. I think we know almost all of the librarians and many of them know us by name. We will miss them when we leave.This is one of Calvin, he is getting bigger each day. We need to take more pictures of him. He scoots all over the place and can get anywhere he wants to and can get there much faster than I always think he will be able to.

Alden loves getting into my makeup especially the mascara, he had actually put it on his eyelashes pretty well but then rubbed it and it ended up all over his face. I now try to remember to keep it up a little higher.Bath Bubbles. We used to keep the container of bubble bath by the tub, a couple of weeks ago Alden poured the whole thing of bubble bath in the tub. It was a great bubble bath, the tub was half water half bubbles! :)

Neighbors--Friends

About a week or so ago, we had some new neighbors move in above us with two boys. One 9 the other 11 but they have become Alden's new best friends. He plays hide-n seek, swords, chalk, baseball... with them and they even come over often and ask if Alden can come out and play. He loves it!!! It has been fun having some people so close that he can play with.

Wonderful Life

Things have been going really well here at our home. Multiple times a week I look at all of my handsome boys and just wish I could put this time in a bottle and save it. This morning when I woke up all the boys were asleep in one room. Alden on the floor by the bed, Calvin in the pack in play and Michael in the bed, I thought to myself I sure am lucky to be surrounded by 3 incredibly handsome boys!!
I love the stages both Calvin and Alden are at, it is so fun to see them learn and grow together. It is fun to see how excited Alden gets every time Calvin wakes up from a nap and how excited he is to play with Calvin. The tackling has already begun! Alden hugs Calvin and then rolls over so that Calvin is on top of him, he laughs and says how Calvin is getting him.

Dinner

Tonight at dinner Alden decided he would rather have some cereal. This was our conversation...
"Alden we have cereal for breakfast"
"I want breakfast"
"We only have breakfast in the morning after we wake up from sleeping a long time"
Alden then leaves the table and goes to the bedroom.
"Alden what are you doing?"
"I'm sleeping"
