Kai's Blessing Day

Kai was finally blessed today on Father's Day. Even thoug heturned 3 months on Friday, we decided to wait to have the blessing when Nathan's mom was able to make it. It was nice waiting so long since Kai behaved like a gentleman, and he fit my little brother Adam's blessing outfit he wore back in 1988 when he was blessed.

Nathan did such a wonderful job blessing him. And since today is Father's Day, I want to also mention how grateful I am to have such a wonderul husband, especially since he is such a great father to both of our boys. He is always involved, helping out so much, as well as playing with them. They both love him so much and are blessed to have such a great dad who cares about them as much as he does. I love you, "Bubbs", Happy Father's Day




Even though our boys didn't want to smile for the camera, we decided to get a family picture after Kai's blessing. It was a good day, and I am so grateful for my 3 boys.

Time for Swimming

Today Nathan took a 1/2 day to be able to come back and spend some more time with his mom who is in town for a few days, so we took advantage of him being home and went out and enjoyed the 90 degree weather. The pool was a little chilly, but it was bearable and Chase sure enjoyed it. Here Chase is doing "kick, kick, kicks".

Of course Kai couldn't miss out on the fun...he decided that taking a nap inside wasn't the best choice and woke up so he could come out and join us.

Here is the little cutie

Here are the boys enjoying the last little bit of cool water before having to go inside.

The Next Tiger?

The golf course across the street is opened for people to come and walk it on Monday nights, since it is closed to its members for upkeep. We often go over there as a family with the double stroller, and then Nathan and Chase stop to do some putting. Last night Kai and I were unable to join them since Kai was tired and I wasn't in the mood to go out in 90 degree weather, but Chase and Nathan, the dedicated golfers, decided to still go. Here is a picture of Chase analyzing the green deciding what club he needs to use to make the shot :). Above is him hitting the ball into the hole. He has learned who Michael Jordan is, now we just need to teach him Tiger Woods.

Which one's which?

Here is a picture of Kai I took the other day...
Here is a picture of Chase around the same age as Kai is. People have been saying that Kai looks just like Chase did when he was little, but I never realized how similar they looked until I started doing some comparisons. They definitely have their unique traits, but they definitely have a similar look. Maybe all of our kids will have the look too, it will be interesting to see.

Picture Time

Yesterday and today I tried to take some pictures of Chase and Kai together, but they never turn out that great...oh well. Anyway, here is one that I took that of course Kai wouldn't smile in since Chase was.
Today I got some smiles from Kai, and my camera was actually fast enough to catch them. Lately Kai is starting to laugh a little too, which is a lot of fun. He is an outspoken guy when he is both happy and sad, and I have to say it is entertaining when he is in either mood because he is so expressive.
"Yeah, yeah, I know you want to give me a kiss. Who wouldn't?" It seems like Kai is so put out in this picture, but Chase loves giving him kisses nonetheless.
I had to post this one since they almost both look like they are doing a Zoolander pose. Not the best picture either, but still kinda funny.

Exercise Time

Since I just figured out how to get videos on here, I had to do one of Chase "exercising" this morning. He is pretty good at figuring out how to count, but he always resorts back to his way of counting, which uses his 2 favorite numbers, nine and two. He says "nine, two, nine, two" and so on. Anyway, he brought out one of his toys this morning and said he was exercising since it somewhat resembled a dumbell and he has seen Nathan lift weights. So I decided to record him lifting his "weight" as well as doing push-ups. I hate the way I sound on here since I am trying to sound tough, but oh well.

Reading to Bobbie

I had to post this picture since Chase chose to read to his "little man" "Bobbie". It was pretty funny to hear him reading, and then to notice that he brought Bobbie to hear the story. All of his little people have names like, "Martin" "Dave" "Johnny" "Stewie" and then there is also "Gloria". I have come up with the names for each of the people, and he loves to call them by their names when he goes looking for a particular one. It is pretty cute & funny.
