Videos from the past month!

Caysen Reading his book in his tent!

Caysen's new thing...He raises his hand and says "MEEE".  He's so sweet!  He usually does this when we say "Who Tooted?"  You can hear Derrick in the background saying how much he loves his mommy! :)  he's also so sweet!

Derrick playing Fruit Ninja on Kinnect.  You can hear me giggling a little bit because he looks so silly without being able to see the game!

Caysen in the tubby with his other new words...Brrrr and No!  He either got soap in his eye or was being shy with the camera!  He's showing off many of his talents in this video from Waving Hi and blowing kisses!

Been Too Long!

So I realized it has been a very long time since I have posted anything on here!  It's time to do some catch up! 
Derrick has been doing well in his wrestling and has gotten 3 nice trophies!  We got his report card on friday and he got all E's!!!!!!  Can't get any better than that!  We are so very proud of him!  He also is reading the chapter book "Series of Unfortunate Events"  I think it's made for 12 year olds!  He is such a smart lil boy!
Caysen is talking up a storm!  He is constantly saying NO and No No!  He is copying everything we say...or at least trying to copy us!  He also is so very smart! 
Yesterday we went swimming at the KCC...Caysen didn't really enjoy it this time and seemed to get a temp...but was ok once we got home!

Today we went wrestling in Dawson.  Derrick got 2nd place!  I got to see him put a kid in the craddle.  It was very fun to watch!

Right after Christmas I got a new phone.  Here are all the pictures I finally downloaded off of my phone!

Caysen ready to go with Derrick's boots and back pack.  He kept waving and saying "bye"

Caysen's first time eating a corndog.  He didn't know what way to eat it.  He ended up eating the whole thing!  He now LOVES corndogs!

Caysen playing with the door!  He's always saying "bye" and shutting doors!

Boys are eating their apples!  They both Love Apples!

I took this booster seat out and cleaned it...and Caysen saw it and NEEDED to sit in it!

He then would not eat in his high chair and needed to sit in the booster seat to eat breakfast!

We spent two weekends ago making cut out sugar cookies and frosting them.  The boys really enjoyed this....and they really enjoyed eating them!

Montevideo Wrestling last weekend.  Derrick got 4th place.  He seemed very tired that day and had mom coaching him instead of dad.....I don't really get in to it...just say "Go Derrick" ha ha

4th place trophy from Montevideo Tournament

Derrick and Colton and Mackton.  Aunite Christie, Jason, Colton, Mackton, Abigail, and Nolan and Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Marvin all came to watch him!

Caysen 18 Month Check up and Derrick Wrestling

Caysen had his 18 month check up last week...of course on the first snow fall in a long time!  We had a long drive to Willmar that morning and Mommy did not feel the greatest!
Caysen loves going to the Doctor and riding the elevator!  He also loves the wooden sticks the Dr. uses to check his throat.  One time when he was sick the doctor drew a smiley face on one and gave it to him!  Since then he absolutely loves them!
Caysen is about 60 percentile for weight and 95 percentile for height!  Go figure he would be tall!  He's about 27 pounds right now.  He has been at this weight for quite a few months now.  Derrick was always in the high percentiles when he was little too.....but not anymore!

Derrick had his second wrestling tournament this weekend in Osakis.  He got 2nd PLACE!  This is his first time getting second place...He is really getting to be a good little wrestler.  I think he is taking it a lot more seriously and getting aggressive.  Pictures to follow when I have more time! :)

These two were soooo busy!  Running around...it was so fun to watch them play!  Really wish we had a private jet to be able to visit back and forth all the time!!!

Cheesin!

Sittin on the steps!

Caysen kept opening his mouth...I don't know why..

Caysen teaching Cohen how to climb steps....So funny how alike they are in the things they do and the things they get in too!  Cohen liked playing in the same drawers in my kitchen that Cayen does!

Going for laundry basket rides!

Both trying to get out at the same time...once one was almost out the other would sit down like "great!  It's all for me now!"  It was fun!

Auntie Katie reading to Caysen....He will grab a book and come back into your lap and sit on down!

P.S.  Derrick won 3rd Place at his Wrestling Tournament on Saturday in Olivia...pictures to follow...Brian took them...So i'm not sure how many pictures i have! :)
