our little nudest

yeah thats right guys
kason is a nudest
he has ALWAYS hated clothes, even as an infant he would rather be naked with just a diaper in our arms and a blanket.
now he is buck naked running around eating crackers and playing cars.
great fun
i dont mind now that he is potty trained and wont pee everywhere.
plus we live in the middle of nowhere and nobody is going to just stop by and he's 2. not a big deal
lol
anywho yeah thats my tid bit for the day
oh my bunnies are doing FAB and i have played with them away from the momma for like 10 minutes at a time and they do great!!

My nudest

yeah you read that right.. nudest.
Kason is a nudest
right now he is buck naked running round the house playing cars.
He was just refusing to wear pants but now its the undies too. He takes them off as soon as i turn my back and then runs around and plays naked.
i let him
He has always hated clothes and diapers so now that he is potty trained i let him go at it while to one is here... if someone is here of course the little man gets clothes on but until then
he is our nudest.

Little Digger

Since we have been in the potty training mode Kason have rarely worn pants in the house.. its just SO much easier to only pull of unides 30 times a day and not both. Anywho well he has now started to not wear pants outside and just boots... This is Kason the other day showing off his new style outside...
I think its super funny and too cute.
I was reading a book and looked over to check on Kason and saw him digging in the dirt. I called my mom quickly and told her that there is without a doubt in the entire world that Kason is 100000000000% boy because he was digging in the dirt in just undies and boots! lolThis is my favorite picture of the bunch!! just too cute!Then he was off to do something else in his undies..
boys..

Bring on the bunnies!!

So i mentioned before in one of my fabulous catch up posts :) that we have baby bunnies!!!

They are two weeks old now and doing awesome...
i thought you might like some pictures so here they are:
This is Molly- the mama rabbit This is Farley our Daddy bunny
Those are the babies in their nest at 8 days old.
This is my runt.. she/he is doing awesome!! she's not too much smaller than the rest though so thats good. I named her Amy for now... cause it reminded me of an orangecicle and my sister LOVES those.. so there ya go :)There are three here.. hard to tell they are all indetical expect one has brown markings not black.. but they are the same as the others. Their names are "little moos"This is a size comparison with my runt and my largest, the one on the right his name is Wombie cause he looks like a wombat!! ----those were all pictures of the rabbits at 8 days----This is the bunnies in their nest at almost 2 weeks!!This is Amy! She is getting bigger and is prolly my favorite out of them all... i love all the orange!Here are 2 of the 3 "little moo's" the bottom one is the one with brown markings... they are so so cute!!!! This is little Racer. He had racing stripes going down his sides but now they are more down by him bum so it looks like waves lol oh well he can still be little racerthis is little Wombie cause he looks like a Wombat to us!!This is Amy and Wombie again for a size comparison.

Pee trained!

so you may ask exactly what is "pee trained" well its potty trained but with pee! lol
anywho Kason is doing excellent with going on the potty!! ZERO accidents Sunday or yesterday except 1 poopie.. we are still workin on the poop.. any suggestions?
anywho im very proud of Kason for doing this potty training stuff so young and quick!! 5 days and he was done with the pee!!

We had a great Saturday. My aunt Jean got married on Saturday so we headed over to Eatonville for the wedding and it was lovely.. outside so it was cold but it was still fun. There was a large pond with coy (is that how you spell it?) fish and he loved watching the "fifis" we then headed over to Cabelas and walked around and kason again loved the "fifis" there too. we spent an hour watching the fishes and looking at all the other animals..

Sunday sucked though. woke up with food poising (thank you long john silver!) and spent the early EARLY morning (4am) doing stuff in the bathroom that is too nasty to write in a blog lol
so im not going to

anywho well life is back to normal and we are just playing, working on the potty training (poopies) and having fun.
my baby bunnies are doing WONDERFUL and cant wait until theuy get bigger and can leave the nest..in about a week in half! :)

Day 5 and doing great!

So as i mentioned in a previous post we are potty training!!!
I am amazed at how well he actually doing because i know boys are always harder to potty train and Kason just turned 2 so he is really young.
It started about 2 weeks ago when he wanted to sit on the potty like mommy and daddy and kept saying "i pee" and would go to the potty. So I decided it was time to just do it.
On his birthday (the 28th) i put him in just undies and told him he needed to pee in the potty.. He had alot of accidents but everytime he did he told me about it right away... so that was a step.
Everytime i had him sit in the potty he would pee. And he got jelly beans for it which he loves!!
Day two was better less accidents and he started telling me "i pee" before he went in his pants so we made it to the potty.
Day three we had his doctors appointment in Oly. We made a pit stop in shelton at logan's sisters house to use the potty. He stayed dry the whole time in the car and at the doctors office. We even went ot lunchw ith my mom and he told me everytime he had to go potty!!! We were accident free until he fell asleep on the way home and pee'd right before we got home.. oh well... he was sleeping right?
That night he was standing right by me and looks at me and says "i pee" and pee's on the floor!!! He was being a turkey and testing his boundries... he has not done that since!
Yesterday he had one accident while his cousins were over and he was busy playing and watching the wiggles and then another one late lastnight before bed i think he was just too exhausted.
SO overall he is doing AMAZING and im so proud of him!!! He only wears a diaper for nap and bedtime and i have noticed that he barely pee's in them... so hopefully that will end soon.
we are working on the poop. (sorry alot of potty talk here lol) but he is doing better!

I have also noticed that Kason is adding IE to every new word he learns!!
-wadIE (water)
-yogIE (yogurt)
-peachIE (peaches)
and so on.. its cute :)
he is also strining words together to form small sentences! yay!!
anywho i should have some pictures up eventually.. i have a bit to post :)

Kason is now 2!

Okay so i remember counting down the months, weeks, and days of my pregnancy and now im posting about Kason being 2!?!?!?!?!
where does the time go?
no really if you know please tell me!!
Anywho so Kason is doing wonderful. He is such a happy independent wonderful little guy. Here are some facts
-Height- 32 3/4 inches (25%)
-Weight- 30.2 lbs (30%)
-He talks up a storm here at home or in the car but usually when he is around other people other than daddy and mommy he is super quiet and wont talk until he gets use to the other around him and then he is mr. chatty
-Loves to run, jump and climb up on everything. He is still our little Monkey.
-He loves animals especially COWS or as he calls them CR-OWES. He picks grass and tells me he wants to feed the cr-owes.
-He is starting to be a big help around the hosue and picks up his toys when asked.
-LOVES LOVES the wiggles!!!! Kason has NEVER been one to sit and watch tv. Not even like 5 minutes... he would look at the screen then take off and play. Well one day we found out Kason LOVES the wiggles and will sit down and watch it over and over again... we are going out soon to buy more DVDs because this one is driving me nuts!!
-Kason is a great eater adn loves to feed himself.
-Kason is FINALLY off all his medication for his Asthma!!! yay!! he still has his enhaler incase there are emrgencies or bad colds but he doesnt have to have the daily puff anymore!! thats awesome!!
-Kason is on day 4 of potty training and its fantastic!! he is pretty much good to go.. hardly ever has an accident anymore and tells me everytime he needs to use the potty. He only wears diapers to bed. We did straight up no diapers or pull-ups just undies and he did wonderful! i highly suggest that!

Yesterday was his appointment for his 2 year and he is doing great. the doctor is super pleased with everything and says that his speech is wonderful for being just 2 and that he is pretty much potty trained is fantastic! yay!! im glad he is on course!

i have found heaven

in the form of a sandwich.
it is super yummy
and tasty
and to die for
I have found the love of
Tomato Sandwiches.
to
die
for
really they are.
Super simple too. All you need is:
Bread (i toast mine.. its the only way to eat them i swear)
a good helping of mayo
and of course fresh tomatos!
toast your bread and then spead a thick layer of mayo on both pieces.
slice your tomatoes about 1/4 or thicker if you like too. i put two good slices on mine. then place them on your bread and eat
they are addictive
so watch out
they are so so so goooodddddd!
i cant get enough of these. had two today lol

I am alive.

Wow.
I am finally updating this sad poor neglected blog.
Sorry for all those avid blog readers and stalkers. :)
Lets see...
Well we moved as i mentioned before in my last post.
The move went well. We had a lot of help and had almost everything packed which was wonderful to have accomplished. We had a lot of family help out on both ends of the move and it was nice to hang out and have my family out here after got stuff moved. We had a BBQ and swam in the pool and just hung out.
Shortly after we moved i got rabbits. Two Holland Lops, male and female.
Farley the male is orange and white and Molly the female is all gray with some white here and there.
We should have baby rabbits by the 16-23 this month. that will be exciting. we are going to sell the babies, so if anyone is looking for a nice easy going pet let me know. they wont get over 4lbs full grown and they are great with kids. Kason loves them!!
Kason is doing super well with the move and LOVES it out here. We dont have cable and we have super slow internet so we play all day and learn new songs and run around outside and play with the animals as much as possible.
Kason is picking up so much.
He just turned 22 months on July 28th.
This is more for my memory's sake that anything else-
-He is loving fruit this summer. Banana's are his favorite.
-He is repeating everything we say and do
-He loves to help clean and will run around doing what im doing (laundry, sweeping, dusting etc.)
-He is a Papa's boy. He loves his grandpa's (and grandmas) and will call for them all the time.
-He wants to wear a "papa shirt" (which we figured out was a plaid shirt) just like Larry. lol
-He is loving nursery at church and loves to play with Braxton (his cousin) and Allison (our friends little girl)
-Naps have been a struggle since we moved out here. He can hear everyone moving around and talking.. also he is taking shorter naps!! (hopefully this will stop and he will go back to long naps again! lol)
-Loves the quads and will ask to RIDE all day long and put on the big helmets.
-Loves tools. He will sit and take a screw driver and "fix" his hotwheels ride on quad for hours at a time.
-Loves to Swim. He is out in the pool more than he is not in it. He is now kicking, jumping off the ladder, and trying to lay on his back.
-He is a hat boy. He got his first baseball cap two weeks ago and wears it constantly. He actually keeps it on him too!!

SO thats enough about Kason for now :)
We got to go to a Mariners game a bit back it was AWESOME! my first one ever and it was so much fun! We were only 7 rows from the field right by first base and right feild. We were close to Ichiro!
anywho... not much else going on
OH Logan got his Aprenticeship last month!! he starts in the start of September!! we are so excited and happy for him!!
well i think i will get off and get busy finishing up Harry Potter 5!! (im re-reading all the books once again)
