Paper bags and golf balls

Is there anything better than a non toy item like a paper bag and a couple golf balls when you're one??  It will keep you entertained for hours.  Just one of the fun things mommy and Brennan have been doing while Kobe is working hard at preschool.  :)  Brennan is at such a great age - I just love watching him do everything, he is growing up so fast, and trying so hard to do everything his big brother does.  One of my favorites is when he sits now, he folds his hands like in the pic to the left.  Do they have to grow up?

Kobe's Birthday

Our little Kobe turned 4 on September 20th, okay, he's not so little anymore.  On his birthday we marched in our final parade of the season.  We posted a sign on his gator, and he was wished happy birthday by hundreds (course he just looked the other way).  He received his prized gift, an electric guitar (Kobe is majorly into music, except he doesn't like anyone to watch, so he plays behind the couch), chose his birthday dinner (brown rice???), and later went to Elko Speedway with daddy.  It was a BIG day.

Little Friends Party

This year Kobe had a construction birthday party with his friends.  We did a little arts and crafts on paper sacks they later filled with candy scooped from a dumptruck and ate some dirt cake served out of another dumptruck.  Who would have known eating dirt was so much fun!!

Brennan and pans?

One of Brennan's favorite past times is to clean out my cupboard under the island, which is full of pots and pans.  The other day, he decided he should stand IN the pan, he could get one leg in, but couldn't manage to lift the other one high enough, very frustrating for him, but cute to watch.  :)

1st day of school

Our little Kobe started preschool this year.  Can you believe he is that old? it seems like just yesterday he was a baby.  We are so blessed that our church has a preschool, although he gets confused between sunday school and preschool (he prefers sunday school because they get to sing more), and we are also lucky that a close friend's daughter is in the same class, so we only drive one day a week.  I know he's learning things, because today he said "mommy, that is a square because it has 4 sides, and 4 corners!"  Please, Lord, don't let him grow up too fast.  :)

Brotherly LOVE

Just when you think your boys will never get along or stop being rough to eachother, you look over, and see them holding hands, or laughing together, and it just melts your heart.  Thank you, Lord for these wonderful miracles that make our lives so beautiful.

A Box, a Carseat??

Is there anything better then a box when you're one? or four?  Why is it that we buy our children toys???  Howabout a carseat - it is Brennan's favorite toy - if I bring a carseat into the house, he is in heaven - he plops down in it and gives me a big grin!
