Wonderful FALL Weekend!

So we had a really busy weekend this past weekend! And LOVED the fall weather by the way! It was so awesome outside and it was fun to enjoy this weekend.

It started off really well with Brock's freshman team having another win on Thursday night over Warsaw...so that always puts him in a good mood:) So good job guys!!

Friday night I got to enjoy the football game @ Goshen and they also had a win over Northridge. I only made it to the second half cuz it was cold and I took Kahler with me...but that 2nd half was extremely exciting! So I'm glad I got to go...and Kahler did awesome! He slept the whole time:) So we had a nice evening doing that!

Saturday we spent @ home but had a pretty fun day! Isaac was getting a little stir crazy so I threw on his hoodie and shoes and we went outside to get him some fresh air and just let him run around the house! This could occupy him all day if we let him! He's just so funny when he runs around with his shoes on, so I decided to try to get some pictures of him! The darn kid wouldn't look at me AT ALL! So my silly self was singing goofy songs to him to try to get him to just look at me for a picture....

well he finally did and this is the only picture that turned out-

REALLY good I must say:) I think he looks adorable in this shot...and it made his eyes look perdy:)

Here's some more of him being silly and running from Mommy....

He LOVES to play outback by the waterfall in the back of the house

SO incredibly ornery!
And our little college-goer, Miss Jeni came home from BSU to visit us and Kahler for the first time! That was so nice to see her and catch up! I can't believe you're in college!! SO crazy!
Saturday evening was spent with our friends, the Clarks! They're Michigan fans and so is Brock of course (I am NOT!) But they got Isaac this jersey for his 1st bday and their son, Lincoln also has one...well they both had it on the same day for the Michigan game!:) I like to say it's Isaac's Fairfield jersey too:) So anyways, they brought over some home made pizza which was awesome, and our kiddos played in the basement all evening! Kinda chaotic at times but such fun!

Their daughter Lilly! She is extremely adorable! Brock always calls her his daughter in law cuz she says her and Kahler are getting married:)
Sunday:

1st off: COLT'S WON!! And what an awesome game it was! That always puts us in a great mood:) We had a rather busy day though....

Brock's niece, Kaitlyn had her bday party the same day as my nephew Lincoln....so we squeezed in 2 parties into the same day. We headed to Kaitlyn's a bit before 3, then made it to Linc's party @ 5. Kinda crazy!

But, my very adorable handsome nephew turned 1 today!!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY LINCOLN!!

He had an awesome party last night with a firetruck theme of course! And he's such a ham so he was very entertaining to watch:)

Here's some pics from the party....

Linc got a firetruck car...hopped right in and Isaac sat in the back..so funny!

Hey there!

Cake time! He dug into the black frosting first! Ewwww! ha ha! That poor Colt's jersey!
My sis-in-law, Liz, Linc, and my brother, Brian
Wow-that's a great cake face bud!!
The cleaning up afterwards! :)
So we had a wonderful, busy weekend!

Now last night Isaac slept horribly and we're praying his ear infection isn't back:( We'll see how he does tonight...or I might be making a doc appointment again:(
What a wonderful Monday:P

"I'm 3 Weeks Old!!"

So Mommy finally got a picture of me not making any goofy or weird faces at her:)

(with my eyes open too!)

I'm 3 weeks old today, and loving life!...

...and the mini-swing too:)
Have a great Wednesday!!

Happy Birthday to.....ME!

So I celebrated the big 2-6(woo-hoo!) a week ago yesterday(Sept.22nd). Can you tell I'm excited?! ha ha! Not so much about turning 26 really. I really liked 25...and was hoping I'd stay that age for a while.....

...NOPE...didn't happen!

So anyways, this is a belated bday blog since I was sorta waiting on a certain gift to arrive in the mail:)....and my family officially celebrated mine and my sis-in-laws bdays this past Sunday.

I did however have a little fun evening on my actual bday! My Mom offered to keep the boys for Brock and I while we enjoyed ourselves for a bday dinner date! Even though we were both so tired, we had a wondeful evening @ the Channel Marker...YUM! We even managed to not talk about the boys....too much;)

SO what I've been WAITING for is my gift from my wondeful husband, who knows my LOVE for Vera Bradley:) I've been talking forever how I love the new pattern "Puccini" that came out for the fall colors....yeah I'm in love with it!

So he knew exactly what I've been looking at for a long time...and surprised me with this that came today!.....

This is NOT the Puccini....but it is however 1 of the 2 BRAND NEW winter colors they just came out with! It's called Mediterranean Blue. They also have the other color in more of a white with Blue. They're gorgeous!

Brock thought I deserved another baby bag...so he got me the Messenger in this awesome blue...for my baby boy! I was SO excited about this!

Then he still went overboard and splurged and got me the Villager bag, wallet, and checkbook cover in PUCCINI! Gosh, he definitely spoiled me this time! I guess it's what I get for having his babies and a birthday in the same month:) Thanks honey!!!

My sister gave me this awesome candle warmer included with a Harvest Pumpkin candle. It is so awesome and makes our basement smell amazing!!
My mom gave me this book to personalize as a scrap book! Very cool and I was eye-balling it in Shipshewana when we went there last Saturday! Also got an Old Navy gift card with it, so I'm gonna just HAVE to go shopping soon:)

And I just CAN'T do a post with out my babies in it:)

Kahler had a rough start to the week Monday as he had done what all baby boys dread....

...the circumcision!! :( poor guy!

He did SO well though! His doctor said he cried at first then ended up sleeping through the whole thing! I'm still glad I didn't watch. I watched Isaac's when he had his done...so one circ is enough for me in my lifetime!

Anyways, he got weighed and measured too for his 2 week wellness appt...and he is already up to 9 lbs. 10 oz! That's the 75% for weight. And he is 22 3/4" long which is a whopping 97%! I can say he is pretty identical to his big brother...who was also the same on the charts too. I love my big boys!!

Here's some pics of Kahler...turning 3 weeks tomorrow already!

Open eyes!

Love his double chin....the boy is eating good!

And we can't forget Mr Isaac!

"Get that passy out of your mouth!!"

"Much better!" :)
Isaac sitting with his baby brother...hee hee!
...and chewing on books...go figure!

Well that's our excitement lately....back to the busy life again!

Have a great week!! :)

Fun, funny and fun!

I guess I wouldn't classify Thursday night as thee most fun time ever, however it was fun to take Kahler to his first football game to cheer on Daddy coaching! They played Northwood that evening and beat em good! Kahler showed major interest by sleeping through the whole 2nd half of the game:) I spend majority of my time @ the game chasing Isaac up and down the bleacher row:P SO fun! I kinda think I over did it that night too:/

Friday morning:

Isaac woke up looking like this!....

Love the alf-alfa hawk dude!

...So my son's hair was getting a bit out of control lately....

Luckily...he was scheduled for a hair cut that morning! Or should I say-BUZZ!!

Here's his "after" result at the shop....

I wanted to be sure to make it super short this time around so we wouldn't have to go back anytime too soon:)
...and once he had a bath to get all the hair off....
Lookin' good bud!! (Except when he does his weirdo squat that he's been doing lately!) He's a tad strange sometimes:)

And of course I couldn't do without more pics of Sir Kahler's start to his weekend:)

I actually caught a picture of the little guy during nap time...SMILING! :)

SOOO sweet!

Friday night:

Off to Kahler's 1st Falcon tailgate!

Here he is with his "twin cousin" Kloie!

...and being loved on by Sue and Reed:)

Saturday:

Visitors Kristen & Jason and their adorable daughter Jalyn.....

Here she is giving Kahler a kiss:)

And Saturday night we spent time with our wonderful friends the Clark's!

Here's Jen and her son Lincoln with Kahler......always a great time!

Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend also!

Kahler's 1st week & the life with 2!

So life as officially begun with 2 kiddos now....

...and what a week it has been!

To update you all, things haven't been the easiest, not due to the fact that I have 2 kids to care for, but we just found out yesterday Isaac has an ear infection:(

This definitely explains the fact that the poor kid hasn't slept during the night the past 3 nights. He has been up with me, Brock and thankfully my mom too sleeping on us in recliners or couches during the night. It has been very unpleasant and made no sense to us what the heck was wrong with him. I'm so glad we went and got him in to be checked out, cuz I never thought the ear infection was the case. This is his 1st one so I didn't really see the obvious signs when they happened. Now we got the Isaac on meds and ear drops, so I pray they work! I'm thinking he will be a brand new kid when this is over, and hopefully it doesn't keep reoccurring. Life with 2 will be just that much easier!

Here's a picture of Isaac in one of his happier goofy moments after bath time:) Daddy was being ornery with him!

Now on to Sir Kahler! I tell ya what, with all that's been going on with his big brother, I am SO blessed he is seriously being the best baby! I don't know if it's because he's my 2nd and I'm not so paranoid about him, but this baby does not fuss AT ALL!! I know he's only a week old, so I hope I'm not knocking on wood:) He just lays and looks around when he's awake and is just very content. He only gets a couple riled up sounds goin' on when he's hungry or wet or poopy:) It's pretty great! He's nursing and pooping like a champ too...which are complete opposite traits that his older brother did not have! So I think not having that to stress about is very refreshing!

Here is one moment though..when he is actually in a full out cry...and that was of course the dreaded 1st bath at home:)

It really wasn't that bad though, huh?
Chillin' out and looking around
Feeling good all fresh and clean!
I love how cozy this kid looks!

Here I am! Wed. 9/17...officially 1 WEEK OLD!

Finding my fingers and lovin' em! Mommy doesn't let them out to play much:)
And more visitors!
My best gal pal, Erin! Due with her baby boy in 10 days here! Hope he comes soon for ya babe! Kahler needs his play bud here!
JJ and Lindsay came last night. JJ and Brock are teacher buds together.
Me and my miserable big baby:( Here he is having a bottle during the day which is totally unheard of for him. This was the last resort since he was refusing to eat anything:(

Play time with Daddy's hat....


The good moments:)
...and the only time I make time to do a blog! Hope these start to get a little shorter for you readers:) But hey, I take advantage when I can!
