Fun in the Sun

Here is Lilly in her new swimsuit. She loves the water.

Kaleb had to get out because she was splashing him so much. This is Kaleb's happy face.

Ah yes, the joys of blackberries.

Kaleb's favorite thing to do at the Wild Animal Park is play in the water area.

The video below is of Lilly taking her first steps. Then she decided she would try jumping as well.

Oh, those terrible twos.

So I know that it has been awhile since I have posted pics of the kids. After Kaleb turned two, I felt like I had added another child into my family. Some days Kaleb will wake up and it will bel like...I have no idea who this kid is. And then other days he is the picture of sweetness. I am not so sure that being two is terrible but rather that it is schizophrenic.

"This too shall pass..."

Anyways, here are some pics of my two adorable misfits.

I got Kaleb some washable paint. He loves it.

Lilly playing with Grandpa.

Rare sight of the two kids playing together.

Kaleb and Lilly are eating Jello for the first time

At the Zoo

Lilly is now standing up holding on to things as well as starting to cruise the furniture.

We got Kaleb some galoshes so he could play in the water.

New Year's Resolutions

I, Kaleb, do hereby resolve...

to play nice with my sissy...

to help dad with the yard work...

and to teach dad and grandpa about fixing cars.

Or I could just put stickers on my face.

I hate yard work.

I, Lilly, do hereby resolve to sleep through the night from now on.

Ha Ha, keep dreaming mom!
Happy New Year.

Kaleb's 2nd Birthday

So we celebrated Kaleb's 2nd birthday on January 2nd, 2011.

Wow, I cannot believe it. My baby is 2 now.

And boy does he act like it.

Here is Lilly on the birthday boy's chair. She is in her party dress.

Kaleb got a new bed from Grandma and Grandpa V.
It is in his room, but he still sleeps in the crib.

Kaleb got a turtle from Uncle James.
The two girls are the daughters of my good friend, Susan.
Solange is 4 and Johanna is 2. They loved helping Kaleb
open his presents.
I made a Monster Truck cake for Kaleb. The wheels are brownies.

I am thinking he enjoyed it.

I started out this new year by trying to put both Kaleb and I through Potty Training Boot camp. By the end of the second day, i realized I had been all but ignoring Lilly the whole time. I was just trying to keep up with Kaleb and all his accidents. So I decided that perhaps he doesn't need to be potty trained in 3 weeks. I will take things a bit slower.

Fun at home and elsewhere....

Here is Lilly having fun at the Safari Park with Tio James and Abuela.

For Kaleb's birthday, my parents, Michael and Aunt Gwen

got together to get Kaleb this comfy chair.

He loves it.

Lilly has learned to sit up all by herself now. She can crawl too...sort of.
Her legs get a bit twisted up as she goes, but she is getting it.
That's Kaleb with a bucket on his head next to Lilly.
This is Kaleb's favorite thing to do at the Safari Park. Push strollers in the grass.

Christmas 2010

Kaleb was so excited to open his stocking on Christmas morning.

Lilly liked her stocking as well.

Merry Christmas!

Then the Vasqez family came over and we

opened presents with our cousins.

Kaleb got a tractor from Uncle Lee and Aunt Kaari.

Here is cousin David.
Kaleb got a Remote Control Monster Truck from Uncle James.

Lilly was pretty calm through all the mayhem.
