Preschool!

Doran started preschool today! I was nervous that he would cry and be sad the whole time, but no! He just marched straight in and wouldn't even say goodbye! I thought I was going to cry then. Brock had what I am pretty sure was his first 1 on 1 time with Mommy. He didn't even know what to do with himself. He kept calling out Doran's name and looking for him. It was cute. When I picked Doran up he told me he wanted to go again! He kept counting with his fingers and telling me he played trains. When we were about half way home (we walked) he turned around and screamed, "Bye preschool teacher!" I feel relieved that he enjoys it so much and I hope he will continue too!

He picked out his own outfit last night! So cute!

A tasty treat!

Brock learned how to bite last week! It is such a hard thing, I have no idea what to do about it! If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it! On the plus side, a cute story came out of it!
Brock had bit Doran 3 times by Sunday of this week. The 2 boys and I were driving in the car and Doran leaned over to Brock and said, "Brock, no eating Doran!" I laughed so hard and he talks all the time about how Brock eats him! I guess he shouldn't look so tasty!

Potty training!

Doran has been potty training the last couple of weeks. He just came up to me the other Sunday and said, "I gotta go big boy potty!" And he did! And he has ever since then and even stays dry all night. The only problem (which is a big problem) is that he won't poop in it. Hopefully soon though! He always waits until Seth leaves to have his accident so I can see he still favors Seth! Brocky is really interested in what Doran is doing in the bathroom! He always tries to get in there as soon as he sees Doran going in.

I have a couple of Doran stories I don't want to forget!
We signed him up for itty bitty football the other night. Seth is excited about it and told him, "Doran, Mommy signed you up for football!"
"No! Sorry Daddy, I am a racecar driver! I am Kasey Kahne!" Seth and I just looked at each other and started laughing! I have known who Kasey Kahne is for a few months, since Doran has started watching Nascar, but haven't known who his sponsors were or anything. Then I was at Albertson's and Doran saw the budweiser and said, "Oh look! There is Kasey Kahne!" Sure enough there was a racecar driver there, but I wasn't sure if it was him or not so when I came home I googled it and sure enough it was Kasey Kahne!!! He is a genius about this Nascar stuff. It bothers him when he doesn't know a driver!
The next story is a little sadder. We were on our way to the swimming pool today and Doran was so excited to swim! Then he got really quiet in the back seat and said he didn't want to go anymore. When we asked him why he said because it is shark week! I felt so bad! A couple of weeks ago on the discovery channel it was shark week and I let him watch one show that was just about observing great whites because he was begging to watch shark week! I learned my lesson!
One last story! The other day we were driving down Lehi main street when Doran who was sitting in the back seat with a very concerned look on his face said, "I want a lamborghini." Ok...

Coupons

So I went to a coupon class in June and have been so excited to grocery shop. Up until this week I have just done little bits at a time, mainly because I didn't have all the coupons from weeks past yet. This week I had all but one coupon I wanted. So drumroll.... We spent 99.96 and saved 321.10! And we still have the catalina coupons for $15.00 off our next trip! AWESOME! I love coupons!

New Pictures!!!

I finally got pictures taken again!

I will let them speak for themselves...

Brock was not a big fan of sitting on the bus!

Doran's Birthday Party

And the birthday party! The bag above was the highlight of Doran's night! When he saw grandma and Papa K get there he ran up to them because he wanted that bag with JR on it! He kept telling everyone that Grandma got him a birthday present! Unfortunately for him he had to wait to open it!

Once everyone was there we had a baseball game! There is a baseball field pretty much right across the street from us so that is where we had his party and we thought a baseball game would be fun!

Some how Doran and Jayce ended up on the same base all the way around the field one time!

Even though all the kids liked it, it just wasn't very fun. Later when Joel got there all the kids loved playing with him....

Next up... BIRTHDAY CAKE! Or in this case Dad's favorite dessert! We didn't do cake since Doran is allergic to the egg but I think everyone liked this better than cake!

Brock loved it! He ate every last bite and could have still had more!

Then he opened all his awesome presents! He had so much fun! It was such a fun party!

Brock had caffiene for the first time last night. Seth and I don't drink caffiene so when he saw grandma's diet coke sitting on the ground he snatched it up! It was over half way full and he drank the whole thing and even opened it up and ate the ice! He was in heaven!

Doran stayed up pretty late last night playing with his birthday toys! Thanks everyone for making his third birthday so great!

Happy 3rd Birthday Doran!

Today is Doran 3rd birthday! He has been so excited for the last week! He has been walking around singing Happy Birthday to Doran and everything! He woke up this morning and started yelling, "I am awake! Daddy, I am awake!" The main thing he has been waiting for is what is in the present below...

JR! He has been telling everyone that on his birthday he gets Jr and he gets to open it and play with it.

He liked his JR outfit too. He said, "Oh cool!"

We took him to lunch at Brick Oven since he loves pizza. Next up birthday party!

"...ISMS"

Both of the boys have been so funny lately. The little things they say make me laugh so hard. Brock is so smart! This morning at the store he dropped a toy he was holding and said, "Uh oh, I drop it." Or he will be mad and say, "No, stop it!" He is so cute! Then this last week two of my favorite Doran story ever happened. He came up to me and said, "Mommy kisses." So I gave him a kiss. Then he said, "I love you very much, ok." (I still didn't realize what he was doing...) Then I noticed he had put on one of Seth's hat and a long bead necklace when he said, "I am gonna go to work." Then I realized he was pretending to be Daddy! Seth ALWAYS wears a hat to work, he wears a long badge around his neck, and he always kisses the boys tells them he loves them very much and explains that he is leaving to work. I loved it! It brought happy tears to my eyes. I ran and got the camera and when I got back he was kissing Brock and telling him he was leaving to work! So cute!

Then on Thursday Brock had his 18 month checkup and Doran had his 3 year checkup. Doran didn't have to get shots but Brock did. After we left Doran said, "Darn it. The doctor broke Brock's heart!" So funny and sweet!

Pink eye!

This last week both of the boys have gotten pink eye in both of their eyes! Doran got it first and not nearly as bad. Then Brock got it it was horrible! Poor little guys.
