Kainaan is Faster than Fast

Kainaan got his first big boy bike for Christmas, and its none other than a Thomas Bike! He did a great job after the first hour or so. See, he rides his tricycle very well, but he can pedal backwards on that...and not so much on the bike...you know pedals going backwards on a bike equals brakes! It took a little bit for him to grasp that concept. But once he figured it out, he was off! Now if only we had a flat road like Granny and Pop's place, I could lose some serious weight! I have to jog to keep up with him. We will try to go to the school parking lot after school hours and when the weather is better.

Enjoy the video!

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

OK- I have been playing with my Windows Movie Maker trying to get the hang of it and I finally figured out how to cut clips! YAY! So bear with me, I might start posting lots of things I catch Kainaan doing on video! :-)

Here he is singing The Itsy Bitsy Spider. He must have learned it at school because when we started singing it, he picked it right up! He knows so much but he doesn't let us know! Its like his own little secrets!

Enjoy the video!

Tim Hula Hoops

OK- I finally got my Video camera software set up on my laptop and we finally downloaded ALL of our video clips...that took forever. Well, my hubby told me that if you record someone with the camera turned on its side so you don't cut them short, then we can rotate it once its downloaded...WRONG! We have yet to figure out how to do it, or if we even can. If anyone knows how, please let me know.

Anyways, here is Tim playing on the Wii Fit at his parents house during Christmas! We all did it and its a blast! We have never laughed so hard, and got a wonderful workout at the time! So, the game Tim played was the hula hoop challenge. You have to stand on the Wii Fit board and swirl your hips like you are hula hooping. While you do that it keeps count and then out of nowhere, hula hoops are thrown at you and you have to catch them. The more you catch, the more spins you get. It keeps count for you and it becomes a competition. Its soooo fun! And your abs HURT like you just did a million crunches.

Anyways, I apologize for the sideways video, but I promise you will laugh your butt off!

Puppy Love & Bouncing Fun

Our friends, TJ & Karissa were for New Year's and had their puppies with them. Kainaan fell in love with Chase and HAD to hold him. His face just lit up...making me think, "We need a puppy for Kainaan." LOL! Tim on the other hand, is not easily moved to go get one. My argument is that Dipsy and Chewy are older and do not like Kainaan as much because he is so unpredictable and it scares them...a puppy would be introduced to Kainaan's shenanigans right off the bat and would grow up to love playing with him...???? :-) I guess 3 dogs, 3 fish (soon to be 9), and 2 frogs might be a bit much. I guess we can stick to low maintenance fish. (The filter on our tank is AMAZING!)
As for the rest of the pics...We went to the Bounce place on Friday since Tim was off. We had a blast as always. See for yourself!
Enjoy all of the pics!

Isn't Kainaan just beaming!

He thinks he is such a big boy holding Chase all by himself!

Kainaan just adores him. "Let me tell you 'bout my best friend."

Oh Kainaan, please don't choke him!

"Chetch Daddy!"

Mommy's turn to 'chetch' the ball.

Don't get me Daddy!

Weeee!

C'mon Daddy!

Pull! He is such a big boy!

C'mon Mommy! 'Chetch' me!

Tim playing with the inflatable air hockey table. Kainaan thought it was magic.

Happy New Year!

So, who can believe that we are now in the year 2009? WOW! Where did 2008 go? I just wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year!

And you know I can't post a blog without pics, and since I have no pics for the New Year celebrations, I will post pictures from Paw paw and Karen's trip here. Paw paw came into town and spoiled Kainaan rotten. We graduated from a 2 1/2 gallon fish tank to a 28 gallon fish tank, and Kainaan's room is finally complete with a new bookcase and curtains! Yay!! One room down, and the rest of the house to go...

Kainaan "helping" Paw paw put up his curtains.

And his bookcase and curtains. (I still have to put the rest of books on it.)

My little carpenter.

Our new do...the bridge and skeleton move up and down with air tubes.

We have our original orange guppy-who is a bully- and 2 Mickey Mouse fish. They are called that because on the back of the body by the tails, is 3 black spots that make the shape of Mickey's head. Its pretty neat! And we also have 2 new dwarf frogs in there, our old one died. Kainaan thinks he is sleeping...but what do you tell a 2 year old when the frog is not in there, right? He thinks the 1 of the new frogs is his old one.

Right angle and left angle views of our tank.

Tim and I were actually thinking about buying the stand for it and putting it in the living room. So if we do that, I will post a pic of that then.

A North Carolina Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everybody! We have had a wonderful day here in North Carolina. Kainaan has enjoyed his presents all day! Everything with him has been a huge hit! Sit back and relax...there are LOTS of pics to see!


Granny and Pop...we were dressed up for church on Christmas Eve.


Granny, Kainaan, and Pop...and I must say, Kainaan was unbelievably good in church...we were so proud of him! He loved it!


Christmas Eve Night, "Santa" has to put together the Thomas Bike...Ummmmm???


OK-What tools did we need again?


30 minutes later....


Santa came!! And he brought toys!


What did Aunt Wendy and Family send to me?


And wow! Granny and Pop found me a Cars rug!


Oh boy! "Pludo" Kainaan's way of saying Play-Doh.


Gram Gram must know that Kainaan loves trucks AND buttons!


Another present for me?!?


Thanks Aunt Wendy and Boys for my books!


"I help you Mommy!"

This is the first time we have danced since our wedding!


Awww!


Our pretty table set for breakfast!


Tah-Dah!!


Kainaan and Daddy making Play-doh fun!


**Here are the pics of Kainaan and his new bike! It took him a some time to get it. He kept trying to pedal backwards, but he did not understand that doing that made him stop. But finally he got it and he was OFF! I am sure he was thinking he was Lightening McQueen, "Faster than fast! Speed! I am Speed! I got 600 horsepower, give or take a stallion or 2!" We all got a work out chasing him up and down the street!

Yeah Daddy, I get it. I see your hands moving but that is not helping me.


No buddy, pedal forwards...because he really understands that word! LOL!


I am trying! I think I can, I think I can!


Mommy help me!


He almost has it figured out, but not just yet!


Mr. Mechanic checking it all out!


OK- I think I will just walk by it and push it!


Its just easier that way!


Granny got her work out, too! This was when he finally got it, and took off!
*He is a pro now! And it hit me...he's really not a baby anymore! He is growing up fast and now riding a big boy bike with training wheels!
