I want a dog
Kayson has been asking for a dog for a while now. But Chad and I are just not ready for a dog. We were in Idaho for Mother's Day last week and I was interested to see how Kayson would feel about Cindy's dog. Ziva is a Great Piranese, a large dog. At less than a year old, she is almost as tall as Kayson when she is sitting and he is standing. But was he intimidated? Not at all! He wanted to play with that dog the whole time we were at my in-laws'. At one point, he wanted to take Ziva for a walk, so Cindy got the leash and let Kayson give it a go. It was tough, because half the time Ziva was the one walking Kayson, but he kept coaxing and finally got her to follow him where he wanted to go. It was so fun to watch them together, Kayson was so sweet and patient, and not at all afraid of this huge dog. It was almost enough to make me want to give in and get him one! And yes, I know he has a goofy look on his face in every picture.

Stop throwing things!
This is a phrase that is heard in our house A LOT. Every day. Kayson is definitely all boy and loves to throw anything he gets his hands on, balls, cars, toy trains, blocks, rocks, the list goes on. We went to Idaho over Mothers' Day weekend for our new niece's baby blessing. We were all hanging out at the farm (aka Chad's parents' house) and Kayson had gone outside alone. A short time later, we discovered a large hole in the rear window of Chad's parents' van. When we stood near the window, we could hear it cracking, so we knocked out what glass we could. Basically the whole window was shattered. When I asked Kayson what had happened, he told me that he threw a rock and broke the window. At least he's always honest, and as we already knew, has a very good arm. Lynn and Cindy were so gracious about it all, and they were able to get it fixed on Mon. Who knew a 3 year old could do that!

Gotta love construction!
They have been working on laying water pipes (I think for the secondary water, yeah!) since last week. Monday, at about noon, I went to leave for the store and this is what I saw in front of my house. They had obviously breaked for lunch. The cat was on the right of my driveway, and the track hoe and dump truck were on the left. And if you can see, there is a hole right down the middle of the street. At least 3 ft. deep, so no, I couldn't drive across it. To sum it up, I was stuck.
Also during the morning, we had a knock at the door, when I opened it, there was a fireman in full gear standing on my doorstep. He told me that they had hit a gas line and there was a leak. They had evacuated the houses down the street, but said I just needed to close my windows and turn off the heat or AC and stay inside. Ya, that's comforting. Anyway a little while later, I had another knock. It was 2 firemen this time telling me that the leak had been fixed. But they came in to test the air for gas anyway. Kayson thought it was really cool that the firemen came to his house. Especially because one let him wear his helmet. (I really wanted a picture, but would have felt like a dork for asking, so I didn't) I never got to the store yesterday though...

I'm not sure how this picture got on this post, but I'll leave it for your viewing pleasure!
I'm 3!
Kayson had a birthday on Sunday, our little boy is 3! And so excited to be 3. We got to celebrate Sat. by taking him (just Chad, Kayson, and I) to Chuck E. Cheese. Unfortunately we forgot the camera, but Kayson had a BLAST running around playing games and riding rides. Then we took him to the redbox and let him pick out a movie (Space Chimps) and treats and all watched it together. Sunday, the first thing he said to me was 'Mommy, I'm 3!' As soon as he walked into Nursery, he shouted 'It's my birthday!', and he couldn't wait to show me his 'birthday bubbles' as he called his gift from the nursery. After dinner, we were able to have most of the Utah family come for ice cream and cake. All month long, every time I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, he never mentioned a toy or movie, he always answered 'A dragon cake!'. I don't know where he got the idea for a dragon cake, but that's what he wanted, so that's what he got. He got lots of fun presents from everyone and loved having his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins come to celebrate with him! Thanks everyone for making Kayson's birthday special for him!
This is the gift from my parents (the bed). Yes, my mother did make it. She only had a picture to go from, and made the plans herself. Kayson LOVES it and is even good to stop sliding and go to sleep when it's bedtime.
Two more
Two more birthday pictures that I have to share.
This is one of the wings of the dragon cake, they are made of chocolate. Sunday morning, (before I had put the wings into the cake) I left Kayson alone for all of 3 min. When I came back, he was sitting on the couch watching cartoons, with a wing in his hand, and had taken a big bite out of it! What a stinker! I used it anyway.
