I have had a really busy and fun last couple of weeks. Caden had spring break and we traveled up the St. Johns to play with everyone! We had such a great time and I kept Ellen totally busy. I had some pillow case dresses that I wanted to make, which Ellen helped with. Hannah is wearing one of them in the above picture. I also had to make 120 cookies for Enrichment. Ellen helped make them so cute! They took a lot of time, but were so cute! Weston had a blast up there. Grandma seems to be his best friend! She had to do everything for him. He wanted grandma to bath him, change him and put him to bed. I have to say, that was definitely a vacation for me!

Hannah Banana
Hannah is growing up so fast! We tried some baby food for the first time a few days ago. That food just happened to be bananas. It is always fun to see the reaction to that first taste......so, I thought I would share it.

Weston seemed to be a little confused with the banana part. After feeding Hannah, he found a banana in one piece and asked to have it. After I gave it to him, he thought he should show Hannah what a real banana looked and taste like. Hehehe!!

Happy Birthday!!
Weston is finally two years old!! It seems like he has been in our family much longer than that! He had such a fun day. When he woke in the morning, he was ecstatic to see several balloons floating just outside his bedroom. I think he played with the balloons more than any of his toys!
I had wrapped all of his presents the night before and placed them in his brand new wagon with a big bow on the side. I did everything I could to keep it hidden in my closet until Michael got home for dinner. That did not work as planned. I found Weston with the wagon near his room just before lunch. Of course, he did not want anything to do with the presents in the wagon. He just knew he wanted to wagon. He eventually figured out that when he tore the paper, there was something inside! He ended up getting most of his gifts out. I was able to save a few for later.
We also went to Red Robin as a family for dinner and loved the food!! Weston got really shy when they sang Happy Birthday and stuck his finger in his nose. What kind of kid sticks his finger in his nose when he is embarrassed? Only my child would do a thing like that!
We returned home to open the remaining presents and have some cake before bed. I think Weston had a great day!!

My life
So, I figured that I should write a few things down before I forget them. Our kids do the funniest things, but I never remember. This way I will.
Little Weston is such a character. I feel like I am always one step behind him. He is non-stop and into everything possible around the house. There is so much to tell, I don't know where I could even start. But, I was able to catch one little bit of his mischevious behavior. One morning I was on the phone with Michael looking up something on the computer for him. The computer is in the adjoining room to our family room. As I was surfing the internet, I could hear the clanking of the silver ware in the kitchen. I had previously placed the knives up to where those that are vertically challenged could not reach. Thus, my mind was at ease. After I finished my conversation, I headed into the kitchen to see what Weston could be getting into. Funny enough, I did not see him with any silver ware. I opened the drawer and every single fork and spoon had vanished. I thought he had possibly put them in another drawer or cupboard. But, no. I looked for over 15 minutes scowering the kitchen. Nothing. I even asked him several times where he put the silver ware and he just laughed! That seemed to make me even more frustrated. Finally, the silver ware was rescued!! Just watch the videos and see for yourself.
Unfortunately, this next funny moment with Weston has to do with my horrible mothering skills. I learned this one from my dad.
Weston is a VERY loud child. He can also become unbelievably mad at times when he is not getting the attention he wants. There have been a few times when Hannah was asleep on my shoulder and Weston was feeling left out. To pay me back, he would come close to me and scream at the top of his lungs to wake Hannah up. This is a great way to get negative attention!! In all of my fury, I flipped Weston's lip without a seconds thought. I was not going to put up with that kind of behavior(not that mine was any more mature).
A couple of weeks ago, I bent down to talk to Weston. Whatever I said was not good. Weston clenched his hand into a fist and lifted it near my face. He pointed his finger a couple of times near my lip, and I immediately knew what he was trying to do. He was trying so hard to flip my lip in all of his anger. I had to laugh!! I could not keep it in!

As you can tell, the second video is a little dark. I found the silver ware in the back of the couch. He had dropped every single piece behind the cushions. I had to laugh when I found them. What a little punk! Good thing he is cute!

All Region... We Are So Proud!!!
Well as you all know, Caden played Pop Warner this year. He played for the "Predators" a team that was based out of Gilbert. The team finished the season 7 - 3 and was able to win their final game against Dompers School for the Extremely Slow.
The team's captain attributed Caden to their sucess.
"If that kid who brings out the water hadnt brought it out, we would have all been thirsty."
Other high praise from the team's center.
"That water kid always brings the best orange slices."
In fact, Caden was nominated for honorable mention in the Gilbert- South Eastern Corner of Gilbert and Baseline Region's "Team Support Team". He narrowly missed honorable mention to Javier Smith the blind boy that washes the jock straps. Truly a bitter pill to swallow.... We think he played the whole "blind" card. However, the team's final excerpt in their team newsletter made a superb mention of him. "Special thanks to Caleb Blast - Team Gopher".
We were so proud!
Caden actually did very well this season and played both Offensive guard and Defensive End. The coaches said that they werent quite sure of how well Caden would do, but as the season progressed that he became one of their best players and fiercest competitors.
During practice, Caden would line up on the 1st string offense and play against the starting defensive tackle. The boy who played defensive tackle, became so tired of being pushed back and slammed into on every play that he began lining up out of position away from Caden. We had a really fun season and Caden became quite the tough tackler, sacking the quarter back multiple times and making a lot of tackles. We are excited to see how he does next year.
World Saved From Annihilation........ Again.
On the brink of destruction and only a few short moments from the entire Earth coming into the grasp of the evil Skeletor, Weston "Thunder Pants" Bast came to humanity's rescue once again on Halloween Night.
With only his trusty magical sword "Horatio" and his Elmo pale of doom, Weston was able to single handily gather enough candy to battle Skeletor's minions, "Dental Care" and "Nutrition".
In an exclusive interview with the hero, Thunder Pants said this about his battle to the death with evil.
"Da Da Da, Gi! ...Gi!"
Which roughly translated comes from the ancient latin script. "Iza Kicksa Soma Majorio Asso".
Truly, Thunder Pants is more than meets the eye, not just a warrior, but a warrior poet sage.
