Eat Em Up Yum!

Ciara was in a very lovy mood today for Caleb. She followed him around everywhere. Caleb has been pretty mean recently, trying to get Ciara to scream at him or scratch at him so he can tattle on her. Sometimes he will yell when she cries so she will cry louder and it just drives me crazy! He tends to do that in the car. We have an elmo sound track that plays the classic nursery rhymes that all the Sesame Street characters sing. Ciara knows all of the songs. Tonight she replaced every word of twinkle, twinkle little star with dada.

During Kaiah and Maisies nap time Ciara and Caleb played sword fight. They took turns winning and losing. They all jumped on the trampoline as usual, Caleb played some wii games and the girls pushed all the babies around in the stroller. Ciara loved on the dog for a while. We got Simbia when she learned the word dog and thats all she would say. We got Simbia from the pound, he is a little older but already trained and he takes so much from the kids. He sleeps with Caleb downstairs. He also goes running with me. I think Simbia makes everyone feel confident in being alone when we have to be. Ciara loves to use him as a step stool or a pillow. Today he was licking her hand and she returned the favor by kissing his nose. Gross I know.

Ciara wanted a nap time bottle and when I made one for her I said go cuddle Caleb and have quiet time. She said “Yeah”, took her bottle and ran over to her brother. I watched from the kitchen as Caleb helped her up onto the couch and into his lap. Then she watched him play Mario. So sweet!

I bought the kids a little toy that molds little plastic rods into the shape you push them in, like pixels. Caleb started putting it on his face which looked really cool. Then he put it on Ciara’s face and she thought that was the funniest thing ever! I got a picture of what it looked like when she started laughing. It was pretty sweet.

I planted some seeds for flowers for our front yard area. I have never thought of myself as a gardener but it was pretty fun. Ciara enjoyed playing in the water when I watered the soil things. And Caleb helped me put the tiny seeds into their pods. I hope they turn out well. Caleb has started picking up my camera and taking pictures of me when I do things! I think he is catching on to me doing it all the time to him. Pretty smart kid!

Ben had a better day today. My mom visited for a little while and Ben got off work late so we decided to go out to eat. Money has been a little tight for us recently so we havnt been out much. (When we first met thats all we did! It was like a date every night!) Ben decided to take us to Red Robin (yum) and we enjoyed out time away from the house.


I took Simbia running tonight and he just loved it. I did too. I really want to hike Timp this summer again but it was really hard on my body last time. So as long as the weather stays kind of nice I will try to keep up the running. It really does make me feel good even though its hard. I wore my shape up shoes which make a big difference. We will see if I can keep it up. 🙂

These are my three favorite people in the world!!!
