TYLER TURNED 12!

Wow, time goes by so fast.  I can't believe my firstborn just turned 12.  Next year he will be a teenage.  Justin and I couldn't have asked for a better firstborn.  Tyler is a very good and very bright kid.  He's definitely a leader and not a follower.  Here is some of what Tyler likes this past year:
Cereal: Lucky Charms
Dinner: Tacos, Pizza
Restaurant: Buffalo Wild Wings, Famous Dave's
Games: Pokemon, chess, Justin's phone games
Video games: Halo 3 & Reach, Monster Hunter
Books: Kingdom's Dawn series, Percy Jackson series, 39 Clues series, Fire Star series, Halo  

Jonah moving

Jonah is offically on the move!! Yes my friends he can get himself anywhere he wants on the livingroom floor, bed or wherever.  He rolls around both ways and he has started scooting on his tummy.  It is so cute, he looks like a little catapillar.  I have yet to capure it on video but as soon as I do I will post it.  I think he is the youngest of all my kiddos to start "scooting" at 4.5 months. 

Jonah's 4 month birthday October 22, 2010

I know he is already 4.5 months, but, I thought that these 4 months pictures were worth posting!

Halloween candy

Anyone want any Halloween candy???? We have WAY too much. I think we will be donating some to Noodles this Sunday and getting the kids a FREE kids menu noodle bowl.

Jonah's three months old

I can't believe that Jonah is already 3 months old.  Actually he is 3 months and 1.5 weeks.  He is such a good boy!!!!!!  He sleeps GREAT at night.  He has sleeps a min. of 5 hour stretches but usually much longer than that and not waking more than to eat for 11 hours or so.  I remember having to wake him to eat when he was a wee little one.  Now that he is a little older he is awake a lot more during the day with about 3 naps, a long 2 hour nap or so, and then a couple shorter ones.  He is almost always a happy.  If I set him down on his back or in his bouncer he will just kick his feet, smile and make little cooing sounds.  He still fits most of his 0-3 month clothes and is still in size1-2 diapers.  As far as his measurements I'm not sure how much he weighs but I do know that he is a lot different than the other K-B kids as far as weight.  All of the other K-B kids were a lot chubbier than Jonah. There's a poem a friend from my small group wrote about her son and it is exactly how I feel, so I asked her if I could share it here:

Until I met you.

                                    There was a time when I thought our family was complete.

I thought I was right. Until I met you.
I used to think I had it all figured out.
I thought I was right. Until I met you.
Once I thought my life was as full of joy as it could possibly get.
I thought I was right. Until I met you.
At one point, I thought I was stretched to my limit, with nothing more to give.
I thought I was right. Until I met you.
I used to say that I was fine with having just four children.
I thought I was right. Until I met you.
I used to think my heart held as much love as it could possibly hold.
I thought I was right. Until I met you. I am so glad I met you, Baby Jonah. You fill Mama’s heart in ways I would have never thought.

On the way over to Wisconsin, we stopped at this gas station that had a Veteran Memorial.  It was pretty cool!  The K-B kids got to climb on the tank and go inside the turret.

Grandpa Dan's Land

Recently, we journeyed over to my dad's cabin in Wisconsin.  We always  have such a good time there.  Here are some photos that we captured while we were there:
