Flashback Friday

In honor of Kyle's new "big boy" bed this week I had to pull out a picture of my sweet baby asleep. Kyle was 2 weeks old in this picture...It is hard to believe that 2 whole years have passed.

Kyle's BIG boy bed!

For a few weeks Ben and I have been talking to Kyle about being a big boy and getting a big boy bed. It did not really click with him until about mid week when the headboard that Mom ordered him arrived. Oh my goodness! We had to open the the head board and put it in the kitchen for him to look at. He got so excited! Everyday he would ask..."I get my big boy bed 'morrow?" and we would have to remind him that we were going on Saturday. So bright and early Saturday morning we all went to buy Kyle's big boy mattresses and bed frame. Needless to say he loved it!

(And he loved playing on the mattress cart!)

Outside of the store while Ben was putting the tarp in his truck Kyle wanted to sit on his mattresses! I even got to sneak a kiss on the cheek! :-)

Once we got home Kyle helped Ben untie the mattresses. He wanted to carry them in but thankfully I got him distracted long enough for Ben to get them inside.

After we got inside we moved the baby bed the the other side (Why we didn't take it down I don't know...I kept thinking he might want to get in it during nap time or even that night. Boy was I wrong!)
As you can see Kyle helped Ben do everything!

Headboard and Frame put together...now for the box spring. Kyle had to jump right on!

Then once we got it all put together!

Awwww....finally nap time!

Snoopy returns...in Flashback Friday

It seems hard to believe that Meme's Snoopy has been visiting our home for 3 years now during the Children's Miracle Network Broadcast weekend.
Below is the very first year of Kyle taking his picture with Snoopy...


And now this year with Snoopy....


Where has the time gone?! My baby has grown up too fast!!

Hat Day

Yesterday was Kyle's favorite day at school...HAT DAY! This was perfect and right up his alley! And of course I had to get pictures before school.

He really surprised me that he did not want to wear the cowboy hat or fireman hat but when we told him to pick out a hat to wear to school he went straight to his Old Navy baseball hat. When I got to school that afternoon, Kyle was one of the only kids who wore his hat all morning without taking it off. What can I say? He definitely gets this honest from his Daddy!

While Ben was taking pictures, Kyle wanted me to take a picture with him and then he wanted me to wear his hat too! Then he said..."Silly Mommy!"

Class picture day

On Friday was class picture day at school so of course that meant I had to get pictures before school. However on Friday Kyle was TOTALLY amazed at the topiary tree on the front porch. He has started calling it a green snowman! :-) When I asked him why it was a snowman he said "Mommy he has 3 circles!" Duh...I guess I should have known that.

This isn't the best picture...but at least he is turned around and looking at me and not the green snowman!
