He is a BUSY boy. Gone is my laid back, chilled out child. He's a wild man.

He's all boy. Always busy. Always getting into things he shouldn't be getting into. Always climbing, falling, bumping, eating, and making messes. And, he's obsessed with the toilet brush. GROSS!

He's cute as he can stinkin' be and we just eat him up.

He's got a little bit of a temper. He'll throw himself down if he gets angry. If someone goes outside and doesn't take him, the tears start instantaneously.

He loves to eat and insists on using a fork even if that means picking up the food with his fingers and sticking it onto the fork.

His favorite place to be is outside. He loves dirt, bugs, sticks, you name it. All boy, remember?

He's not picky about what he puts in his mouth. A few weeks ago, I fished a dead cicada out of his mouth.

Having a boy is definitely VERY different, but we love every minute with this little man!

Our New Van

We knew it was coming. We outgrew our car the minute Jack came along. But, we had been without a car payment for SEVEN years and were not very anxious to have one.

We planned on getting a mini van at some point this summer. When Mark's car died about a week ago, that decision was pretty much made for us.

After a week of perusing the Internet, test driving, reading reviews, and crunching numbers, we finally ended up with a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. We are IN LOVE with all the extra room!

The kids love it! Jack explored all around, climbing on and off the seats.

So, we've joined the mini van club. A club I NEVER thought I would belong to!

Kate's Moment to Shine

This is pretty much my favorite video of Kate EVER!! Poor girl.



Later that day, she wanted to redeem herself and as she put it, "not run into walls anymore". Haha!
