He Needs Hold!

Callan has croup again.  Surprise surprise.  I would just like to know how many more strains of the virus we have to go through before we are completely immune.  He is so miserable.  He just wants to be held but even when I hold him he just coughs and whines and cries and sneezes and is covered in snot 24/7.  I hate it.  Nothing stresses me out more than sick kids.  

I've been meaning to post for a long time one of Easton's funny phrases: "I need hold."  We all know that he's a pretty intelligent kid and has been making advanced sentences since he was two.  But for some reason he has always said, "I need hold."  When Callan cries he says, "Mom, he needs hold."  And every once in a while I hear, "Mom, we both need hold."  So funny that he turns the verb into a noun.  For some reason "hold" is just this comfort word to him.  So funny.  

Anyway, Callan is needing a lot of hold today.  Someone please get us to some place warm and humid.

8 DAYS!

Happy Birthday Cal Cal!

     

We celebrated Callan's birthday with the family yesterday.  It's so hard to believe that a year has gone by since his crazy entrance into the world.  He is such a sweetheart and we are so blessed to have him in our family!  He is so mellow and fun to be around.  He is learning and growing more every day and it is so exciting watching him discover new things.

We had a very low key party at our house.  Everyone brought a picture of themselves when they were one and we played a matching game.  The Grandmas tied with 100%!

       

The boys spent most of the time watching the 49ers game:)

    

     

      

Callan got spoiled with some fun toys and clothes!

Callan loved his cake!  He's so lucky to have a big brother to show him how to do everything.

After his party he was SO ready for bed!  And a miracle occurred: he slept until 7:30 this morning!  We might have a party every night!

Itty Bitty Ball

Easton started playing Itty Bitty Ball at the Legacy Center. This month was basketball. He had a lot of fun and I think he learned a lot. He had a few rough days at the beginning when he said he didn't have any fun because everyone was blocking his shots. :) But he learned to get around them.

There were about 60 kids in his class (and 4 classes altogether=they're making bank off of this). He was on the Lakers team, much to his dad and grandpa's dismay.

Finally picked for Duck Duck Goose

He was always proud of his name tag.

Yesterday was the last day and Lenny the Lion came to visit. Not sure who he is... but they had fun.

I was so terrible at getting good pictures/videos. Every time I looked away to take care of Cal, Easton got the ball. I caught him right before he made a basket in this video.
