Kal-El Turns 5!

  Our baby boy is 5! My first little superhero is growing up on us. Even though his big party is not until April 6th the actual day of his birthday could not have been more special if we scripted it! :) We had a wonderful day. K picked Asian food for lunch and when we arrived back home we received the best surprise in the mail. The long awaited issue of Mingle Magazine was on our doorstep. This magazine was a really big deal to me bc its sold at Books A million, Joannes Fabric and other craft stores nationally! The most special part of all was that Kal-El was also in it via The Little Gentleman's Tea Party Event! My mothers day event also featured. A 2 in 1!! Talk about excited!!! Kal-El could not stop smiling and looking at it!
   He also had his first official baseball game with his team. What could be better than a birthday game with friends enjoying your new favorite past time? Getting a big hit, thats what! I wish I could have captured the look on his little fact when he heard the 'ding' from the bat hitting that 42 mph ball. Pure joy! Followed by wait...I have to run!! Sweet boy :)
  I have to say this because I know he will read these posts on day. He is a very, very special, unique little boy. I'm not saying that boastfully nor bc he's mine. He just is. He has captured the hearts of SO many people in his 5 little years that it shocks me at times. He's infectious, passionate, and an absolute joy even when he's difficult. He is so full of life and wise beyond his years in so many ways. I love children but I usually find their humor a little eye rolling and a bit amateurish. Not Super....he's full of adult wit and charm. I have a very dry sense of humor most days and he literally keeps me rolling. I'm so proud of him and love the kind, sweet way he interacts with other children. To be so bold otherwise, he is a precious sweet little friend..especially to the girls lol! Trouble trouble, I already know. He is one of the greatest sources of joy in my life. He makes every single day special. He's my Superman. Daddy, Logan and I love you Kal-El..all the way to Krypton and back! xoxoxo

Baseball Practice!

Playing Catch Up!

Its been a busy month and I havent checked in since last month so here goes a briefing :) We've had a couple of health adventures. Chris bear had his wisdom teeth taken out during his vacation week and I can honestly say Ive never laughed so hard in my life at his anesthesia antics. I love that nutcase to pieces xoxo! I also had a little scare with my heart and palpitations. Thankfully, 2 er visits, several copays, and echos later my little ticker is doing just fine. I just need to get in better condition. Kal-El is currently suffering from conjunctivitis (pink eye) but still as wild as ever and Logan is the picture of health :) We have a lot to be grateful for.  We decided to hold off on our Oregon trip until the boys are just a but older so they can remember and enjoy it more! We had such a nice week of  relaxing...I think we all really, really need the relaxation, movies, and cuddle time!
   The most exciting new thing in our lives is baseball for Super and language explosion for Logan! K had his first couple of practices this past week and we are all enjoying it so much. Kal-El took right to sports and literally cant get enough of it. I look forward to all of our games this year,....Including the one this Thursday...his very first game on his birthday! So exciting! We also got Kal-El registered for school this August. He is seriously going to love it and the fact that hes so independent about it helps mommy bird hover'er a great deal ;) He's going to school at the same place he plays baseball so I'm excited about him playing with many of the same children this summer. I was a little concerned initially about diversity but everyone has been amazing to us and I love the smaller feel of the school...it seems more private and the education seems like it takes a front seat. All a plus for sure.
   Logan has become a talking machine. He has about 45 -50 words now :) His voice is PRECIOUS. Im so proud of him that I can hardly stand it. He has 2 favorite 'H' words at the moment. Hulk (yes the irony) and hugs (I beg for them all day) He's an amazing little boy who captures my heart even more with each new word that leaves his little mouth. I cant wait until the sentences start rolling bc I know its coming...he already has one "Here you go!" for when he wants something. He used it at Super's baseball game when a man sat down beside him with a funnel cake. "HERE YOU GO!!!" Everyone got a laugh out of that one!
   Business with Capes and Crowns has been super busy to! Im waiting for the issue of Mingle Magazine to hit stands at the beginning of April and we just finished wrapping the Bambi Twittered pated shoot for Bird's party magazine. I can not tell a lie here, Im without a doubt the most excited about Kal-El's party on April 6th. I planned it a couple weeks after his bday bc I thought we'd be in Oregon but Im relieved for the extra time bc I want it to be extra special.
 Most of these pictures will be from Instagram on this update. While its often times difficult to sit and write a blog post with two wild superheros running around I always snap pics of them and share. The next post will prob be all the baseball practice pictures :)

Funny Valentine! xoxo

Talk about this holiday creeping up on me! Parties mess me up sometime! I had the Jessica Rabbit shoot all wrapped up at the end of January so it really felt like we had already had vday and all the goodies that came with. There is literally always an elaborate setup going on over here. I didnt do any of the little handmade crafts this year for the boys. I figured we would get enough of that next year with Super starting school so we were very laid back this year. I have to admit it was soooo nice and very stress free! Mom came over a couple of weeks ago and showered them with vday goody bags and made little personalized cookies for them. So sweet! On the actual day of Valentine's Chris and I were getting our new unit put in. Romantic huh? ;) We have lots of romance other than one day on the calender year. As a matter of fact I hate obligatory anything! My hubby humors me bc hes awesome but I really could care less. He was sweet enough to watch both boys while workers were here so I could do a little shopping for myself. Its so the little things that are special to me and I love him so much for "getting me". There were a lot of sweet , heart felt cards that got passed around yesterday but I have to admit that Kal-El's anti love card kind of stole the show!!
  Kal-El got a new carseat yesterday. Actually, a booster seat. Long over due. It was NOT the one he wanted. You see the one his heart desired was a big gaudy commercial ninja turtle model that was not only out of stock (thank God) but veeery over priced. He got a nice grey one. He hated it at first. Cried. Then wouldnt speak to me or Chris. Then he got my valentines card that he got me and drew a huge heart on it and put an equally huge 'X' over it. He brought me a piece of paper and said he needed help writing a letter...he wanted to spell "You are not my best friend anymore, I dont like you go somewhere else" I told him I dont write mean letters to people and asked who it was for. He said "Daddy!" I told him how rude and disrespectful he was being over a new carseat and sent him to his room to think about how to feels when we hurt peoples feelings that we love. He came out "reformed" (bahaha) a half hour letter and wanted to write another letter. I thought it might have been an apology letter. Nope. Why would I think that. It was full of heart though...in typical Kal-El fashion. He said "I need it to say the same thing again...not best friends..this one is a pretend letter to stranger" LOL I died laughing I honestly couldnt help it. He really wanted to get that letter to his Dad! After I refused again he was even MORE mad at me then his Daddy. I letter found a letter hed wrote to me. He'e only 4 so he of course doesnt have the tools to write the sentences himself. Instead I found another huge heart with another huge 'X' over it and a word word insult that made laugh hysterically. 'LAM' my four year old just called me "lame" folks. Im framing this bad boy and putting it with all the other sappy cards I'll keep bc it prob captures his personality more then anything else!! I'm a lucky girl to have three amazing boys in my life. They make me smile and laugh constantly! Happy Valentine's Day!! xoxo
