Sprinker Fun

I was organizing some pictures and came across these ones my mom took a few weeks ago.  We went down to her house to help fix some stuff and while the boys were napping, Nate and Elyse thought they would have some sprinkler fun.  As you can see, it was dangerous stuff and eye wear was required.

Boy on a Mission

Last month I posted how Kallen was rolling from stomach to back.  He did not mind being on his stomach, but if he did roll I knew I was okay leaving him since he was stuck in that spot.  Well I can not leave him anymore, because yesterday Kallen began rolling from back to stomach.  The boy is on a mission, to move and play with his sister and brother non-stop.

August?

As I was getting milk out of the fridge early this morning, I realized that it was time to redo the calendar to August.  That's when I stopped and thought, "Seriously, August already?"  I often feel like time flies, but this summer really has gone by in a blink of an eye.  I can not believe Elyse turns four and starts school next month.  Sadly I know this month will also fly by with Nate having to travel for work, school meetings and evaluations, appointments, birthdays, etc.  All I can do is sit back and enjoy every last minute of summer with my loves as much as possible.

Sunday Night TV

We are not a family that watches much tv, in fact, we don't even own cable.  However, for the next two weeks we are making an exception.  We LOVE watching the Olympics and apparently so do our children :)  A relaxing and perfect way to end the weekend.

Love how Caleb is watching the Olympics in what we call, 
"The Man's Chair"

Veggie Trade

Ahh, veggies

E: "I don't like corn"

C: "I don't like peas"

E and C: "but I know in order to get something else, I have to finish all my veggies"

Hey, lets trade

 Much better :)

Pyssla

This past weekend, us Klausers headed down to IKEA to look for some new organization bins for all the kiddos' art supplies.  We successfully found stuff as well as Pyssla.  I remember doing these all the time as a kid.  I brought them out today for Elyse to try and what a great activity for motor skills and creativity, plus it takes up lots of time.  A preschool activity I highly recommend.

Kallen at 4 Months

When it comes to Kallen, I often hear the same three comments:

1. He is such a happy boy
2. He has such big, beautiful, brown eyes
3. He looks way bigger than ____ months old or what a big boy he is

Well I use to think all three were pretty accurate, but after today, I think I can only agree with the first two.  Our baby boy maybe tall, but he is by no means a big boy.  Although no matter what size he is, he still is perfect to us.

Kallen's 4 Month Growth

Weight: 14 lbs, 10 oz (45%)

Height: 26 inches (90%)

When it comes to mental and emotional development, Kallen is 100% where he should be for a four month old.
