This and That

5 Years

To Celebrate: George Strait/Reba/Leann Womack

A lot of talent to fit in on one night! Good! Thanks to grandma Jill for having a spend over with Thayne, and Aunt Brandi for watching Kaycee. We left her for 5 hours-the longest in her life! The first date we've been on since Kaycee was born. I have to mention that I got my love for George Strait from Barbara and Kellee Eyre! I remember Kellee listening to him when she was in high school and Barbara in our college years.

We ventured to Willow Park this past week. This is Thaynes latest move...really quite funny!

Cody's new love-BO

Cody would pull Thayne around in the sled this winter for hours!

This little helper can hear any sound in the house and know what she wants to do, I can't open the dishwasher without her climbing in!

Thayne loves dice, he carries them around everywhere.

Kaycee loves to dance. I'll play music on the computer and when she hears it she runs over to the bench and starts dancing-so cute. I tell Thayne no more TV. So he heads to the computer to "play games" but somehow ends up watching more cartoons. And Kaycee.....monkey see-monkey do!

Beef............It's what's for dinner!

Birthday Girl!

Thayne decided Kaycee wanted a "pink puppy cake" for her birthday. This is what she ended up with..............Cody thinks it's more of a pink panther cake!

Cody and I both love this age! Kaycee is such a ham and is always making us laugh. She runs around and can keep up with Thayne; he loves having someone to play with. Some of her words at one......ma ma, da da, i did it, what is it, hi (with the cutest wave!) and no-no-no. She LOVES to be outside especially if it is with her dad feeding the horses, to bath and to eat! She slept with mom her first year but is now in her own bed and does great. Time sure does fly....seems just like yesterday we brought her home from the hospital! We love you Kaycee!!!!

Birthday Boy

Thayne had a great birthday! Cody took him and Ava to the Fun Park, he got to eat whatever he wanted all day and he had a great party! Thanks to everyone for the presents! He did wake up sick and wasn't in the best of moods. After the party Grandma Tami zoned his feet and he was a different boy! We just love having this boy in our family!

A few of his favorite things:

Playing "tag her it" with dad

Cooking

Playing on the computer

Watching cartoons

Backhoes

Kaycee (he wakes up every morning and tells me"mom Kaycee is my best friend!"

Grandparents

Balls

Chocolate

Marshmallows

Parties and Parades

Of course had to have a backhoe cake!Grandma Jill and Aunt Brandi went to Hawaii for 10 days!! Ya I'm jealous.....Thayne and Kaycee with their cute Hawaii shirts!
Kaycee loves Thayne.....she watches everything he does! He is a great big brother!!

Grandma TamiMy little helper.....Thayne really misses his cousin Addy!

Cody wraps Thayne up like a burrito and then laughs at him trying to stand up! This little cutie is crawling everywhere and pulling herself up to everything....I can't believe how fast she can crawl!!

Winter can't keep Thayne from playing in the dirt!

CHRISTMAS 2010All Thayne really wanted was "a backhoe he could ride on"............thanks Grandpa Toots!!He couldn't part with it...........not even to sleep!

Aunt Brandi and Joss!Bike from Grandma Jill!!We got this cool sign from Cody's mom Jill! Thanks! Kaycee and Thayne got zoning coupons from grandma Tami and some cool dollar coins from Grandpa Backhoe.Thayne telling Santa...."I want a really tiny backhoe".

Santa came through with a tiny backhoe!Toolson family party Christmas Eve.

(The girl holding Kaycee is a cousin.....Taya.....Thayne loves her and she plays with him whenever they are together....too bad she doesn't live closer; she would be a great babysitter!)
