Princess

Isn't she just beautiful? and don't you just love the hat?

Jazelle and I went to breakfast one morning and decided to walk the little strip of mall and came across this adorable boutique shop. They had the cutest baby gear (pricey) but it was fun to play around.

Santa Monica

On the Pier they had a station where you could drive little motor boats. It was very popular with the kids.

We also visited the little aquarium, where they had a children's area. I especially liked this because I could just sit and watch.

They had "feeling" tanks and Kaleb loved to touch the various animals, me not so much.

Kaleb loved it and had his favorite station #3.

It's always so fun to hang out with my kids, even though I thought I was going to pass out from all the walking and being pregnant.

Bad Luck

So 2 weeks ago Kaleb, Jazelle and I decided to drive down to Santa Monica to visit and have lunch with Jason. It was a gorgeous day so we went down to the pier and had lunch at a little cafe. Jason had to go back to work, so I told him that we would stay and hang out at the pier/beach. After a few hours of playing games, walking around, and visiting the aquarium I was exhausted. So we walked across the street to the 3rd street promenade, and called Jason to pick us up.

Headed back to his work and dropped him off. Kaleb wanted to ride home with Jason because he was going to head to the Home Depot before heading home.

So Jazelle and I drive in the rush hour traffic and finally arrive home. It has been awhile since I have heard from Jason so I call him, and he is on his way to The Home Depot. He then tells me someone has hit his car on the freeway! my heart drops and I ask if everyone is ok especially Kaleb.

He then tells me what has happened. He was trying to change lanes to merge onto the 14 freeway from the 5. This guy just would not let Jason pass, so when the guys slows down Jason takes the opportunity to speed up and get in front of him. The guy sees Jason trying to do this and gives a glare look and speeds up full force and hits the back of Jason's car, while continuing to proceed on the other freeway. Jason was unable to get his licence plate number because he left so fast. When I heard this I was thinking how is Kaleb? he tells me Kaleb thought it was fun and wanted to do it again. lol I am so glad they both are ok but very upset we now have to pay $1000 deductible, because we couldn't get the licence plate number. Why do people get so angry for no reason? for a simple lane change? So we have had a rental car for the past week and a half while Jason's car is being fixed.

Smart Boy

Kaleb is such a bright child, he even surprises Jason and I sometimes of what he knows. At school he is learning his letters and how to write them.

I found a Leapfrog DVD called The Letter Factory, we watched it one day and he had to watch it again. This movie is a daily movie for us. They go through all the letters of the Alphabet and their sound. Kaleb now knows all the letters and sounds. Jazelle also enjoys it too and likes to sing a long.

Kaleb also enjoys doing mazes and does them almost perfectly. Every night he has Jason read him the book "The Way Things Work" a book Jason read to figure out how things worked, they've read almost the whole book, and Kaleb just loves to learn about everything.

He is so blessed to have this special gift, and we are blessed to have Kaleb as our special gift.

Jazelle

Jazelle is such a character sometimes and always has us laughing. She is a ray of Sunshine and is always happy. She loves to dress up and especially loves to put things on her head.

Here are a few things I have caught her with..

A Baseball cap always on backwards.

A skirt

Mommies wig cap

Her shirt

other things include...

Kaleb's underwear,

her diaper covers (underwear)

a basket,

a noodle strainer,

towel and,

sunglasses.

Sibling Love

Kaleb and Jazelle just absolutely love each other. Most of the time they play so well together. Jazelle looks up to Kaleb and Kaleb is such a good brother and watches out for his little sister.

I told Kaleb to give Jazelle a hug.

Apparently she didn't want one.

They will hold hands when we go out sometimes, and when I try to hold Jazelle's hand she will only choose to hold her brothers.

Karate

I have been thinking of different classes to put my energetic boy in. We came across a karate class and decided to try out the free trial classes.

Kaleb absolutely loved it and did great! But I think he is still too young.

We might go back to soccer.

Kaleb and Jazelle love each other so much. Jazelle will pick to hold Kaleb's hand over mine. I just love when they are like this.
