Kasen the Pirate

I came in from the barn tonight to find Kasen wearing a pair of my shoes, with a pirate patch on his eye, saying "AAARRRRGGHHH".

The Mickey Mouse shirt makes him look especially tough.

Boxing on the Wii

This is Kasen's version of boxing.


The part I left out.... about 5 seconds after I stopped this video, Kasen threw the Wii remote at the TV! Almost as good as the commercial....

Spring Break

We all had fun with spring break in Arizona!!

Soccer pics

The boys got their soccer pictures today, so here are the little athletes!

And here is a bathtime picture

Trampoline videos.

We had some sun today, but it was still pretty cold. Here are some pics of the boys on the trampoline.

Kyler's adjectives...

Tonight, Kyler had a new adjective at dinner time (commenting on daylight savings time):

"It's still light outside. That is fan-tas-tic!"

Pretty cute.

New Shoes

The boys got new shoes today. Kasen is now a size 1 and Kyler is a 10. Wow, they grow fast. We had to take pictures of the new shoes, so I thought I'd share. :-) Kyler has his on the wrong feet, but of course you can't tell him that! Ha!

More Soccer stuff

I took some pictures of the boys before we were getting ready for soccer practice. Kyler has a hilarious face on one of them.

Also - here are some video clips of Kasen's game, and Kyler entertaining himself with a solo game of basket-soccer ball.

Phone shopping fun

I stopped by a Verizon wireless store the other day to pick up a new phone. While I was waiting at the counter, Kyler ran up to this picture on the wall, pointed, and said "Uncle JJ!!".

I figured JJ would like to know he is a celebrity -- at least in Kyler's eyes!

Soccer practice

Here is some footage of soccer practice from last week. Note the voice saying "Shoot it Kasen!" toward the end. Kasen was on defense, but whatever! Ha!

The Wii

By the way.... both my sons TRAMPLE me in every game on the Wii.... how depressing.

P.E. for Kasen

Kasen came home today and I asked him what he did for P.E. His response: "We played a game called 'Knock over the Kindergartener'. Needless to say this warranted more explanation!! Ha!! After more prompting, it turned out to be a modified game of dodge ball (only rolling of the ball). Hilarious!

Kyler has discovered adjectives and adverbs. Now ALL of his sentences include words like "exactly", "amazing", "super-duper", and "perfectly". He was quite insistent yesterday that the car behind us was not "behind us" but "EXACTLY behind us"!

The boys have moved from basketball to indoor soccer, so hopefully we'll have soccer pictures soon.

We love our Wii

The boys have been playing Wii games non-stop. Here is a short message about the Wii.

First Trophies!

The boys finished their basketball season today, and they both got trophies! They were very excited to show off their shiny trophies.

Blazer Mania!!!

The boys went to a basketball camp at the Rose Garden today. It was part of their YMCA b-ball series. One of the guys who worked with the Trail Blazers led the camp. It was really fun to see them playing in the big arena!

Kyler was the littlest guy there, and everyone was cheering him on. He loved it, of course, and got lots of attention!

Then Kasen got his name drawn out of a hat to be one of the boys that got to welcome the Blazers on the floor to the game tonight! Look at Kasen standing in line at the tunnel....

Kasen said "That was the coolest ever!!"

I also got some video of when the Blazers came out from the tunnel. It was funny because Kasen was busy watching himself on the JumboTron and forgot to look at the Blazers themselves!

Basketball and Wii

The boys have been playing with their new Wii NON-STOP since Grandpa bought it for them. They are very spoiled! Their favorite is a racing game, as you can see with the steering wheels.

Also, the boys had their pictures taken as part of their YMCA basketball leagues.

Kyler turned 4 in December, but his preschool birthday party was cancelled because of the snowstorm. Instead, we had a small birthday party at home while we were snowed in. Today, finally, we celebrated a very belated birthday party for Kyler at pre-school. Once we sang Happy Birthday to Kyler, he turned to me and very sincerely asked: "Am I 5 now?"

It was precious!

Kasen and Fuzzy

This is one of my favorite videos, of course! We brought a pony home for a couple weeks (last August) for the boys to ride. This is Kasen on the pony - he just started trotting by himself and giggling up a storm. After he got done, he told everyone "I like to go bouncy!" It was pretty cute!

computers, computers...

Kasen and Kyler are hard at work as you can see! Mommy and Daddy seem to have lost control of their computers....

... And Jingle Bells too...
