Enemy

Last night while the boys were getting ready for bed, we were picking out outfits for them to wear to school today...they always want to wear comfy pants, however they keep ripping holes in the knees. So I told Ethan he was going to have to wear jeans to school, his response "Jeans are fine, just NOT a button down shirt...they are my worst enemy!" Gotta love it! :)

Hotel Waterpark and Pistons Game

We sure had a great weekend...on Friday afternoon we headed to Detroit. We got to the hotel and did lots of swimming!! Then we went back to our room, ordered pizza, and got ready for the Pistons Game! The game didn't start until 8pm so by the time we got to the Palace Caleb and Ethan were tired. Levi, who took a nap on the ride to Detroit was wide awake. He was so excited...clapping, cheering, and saying "look" about everything! It didn't take the boys long to "wake up" once the players came out, the music jamming, and the fire, flames, and large "booms". Ethan actually was quite nervous about the (huge) flames, so he snuggled close to Kevin but after awhile seemed to enjoy it. All three boys really got into the game and loved cheering for the Pistons! They also enjoyed the "shows" that were put on (between timeouts, halftime, etc). Caleb was so excited with the Pistons last shot...putting them at 101! He thought that was super cool! After the game we got to go down on the court and the boys were able to take 1 shot, it was pretty exciting for them! From there we headed back to the hotel to sleep and then woke up to donuts and more swimming!!

Cheetah...

My mom (the boys Grandma Choo Choo) has always sang this song to them...

"Rock a bye a baby, ________ is a lady. ________ is a gentlemen. And ________ is a coffee can!"

(You fill in the blanks with which ever name you want.)

A couple weeks ago we are all riding in the car and we were saying what animals we would choose to be. Caleb said a "Monkey", Ethan said a "Grizzly Bear", and Kevin said a "Moose" (to make us all laugh). So after giving Kevin a hard time, we continued to talk about other animals that would be a good choice. Cheetah came up because it is fast and so from that Kevin turned it around that I wanted to be a Cheetah...which made for even more laughs from the boys! So now Levi has made up his own song and it goes something like this...

"Rock a bye a baby, Mommy is a Cheetah!"

Lovely. He sings this ALL the time...around the house, in the van, at the store, etc. And for the record I said I didn't know what animal I would choose, that I would want to be some sort of fish...like a Dolphin. Oh well, it sure makes for LOTS and LOTS of laughs around the Hart home!

7 Birthdays...7 Parties!!

Caleb was such a monkey, so for his 1st Birthday party we had a jungle theme. He wasn't quite walking yet on his own, but busier than ever! We can't even begin to describe all the JOY he brought to us the day he was born...so every Birthday we truly love to celebrate HIM and the precious gift God gave us!


"Choo...Choo" yes that best describes Caleb at 2!! He LOVED trains, especially Thomas the Train! He knew the names of all the different trains, which we found to be quite amazing. So you guessed it, we had train party!


Big brother at 3 and ready for fun!! We had a Chicken Little Birthday party and boy did we have fun...from the Pinata to shaking our tail feathers, oh and we can't forget him getting the battery operated Jeep!


By 4 his new love was CARS movie...Caleb and Ethan would run around pretending to be race cars...stopping by us to "change a tire" or "get gas". We had so many "races" to Caleb's bed each night at bedtime! We watched that movie too many times to count!


The big 5...in preschool, has two younger brothers now, got a new bike, and Aunt Kate flew in to be a part of the celebration! Caleb was so into Space...so Space party it was, we even had planets hanging from our living room ceiling!


Stars Wars...Caleb LOVES, LOVES Stars Wars (still does) but this was the year it all began! So of course there would be no other theme for a 6th Birthday! Caleb and Ethan greeted all the guest in their Storm Trooper outfits, what a fun day we had!


And now this past weekend we had a sk8ing good time at his 7th Birthday! Yes he went with Skateboarding/Xtreme sports theme and some of the gifts he got went along with that theme...Skateboard, Snowboard, and Hockey Rollerblades! Oh the fun to be a boy and 7! As always the kids got to smash a pinata and eat lots of candy! We sure had a great day celebrating Caleb's Birthday with family!



We are so thankful for Caleb and the special boy that he is!! He is such a fun kid, always ready to laugh! He has such a kind heart and really looks out for others. He's a thinker, and has lots of good questions. He really enjoys school, and we are so proud of all the things he is learning. He is such a people person and loves being with friends! He truly adores being outside...from playing in the snow to catching frogs in the backyard. He keeps us on the go with Soccer games, but we love the joy and excitement he has with playing it! We always say Caleb has a quiet faith, but when you talk one on one with him his love for Jesus is so evident! One of the ways he lets his light shine is his caring heart for others. We are so honored to be Caleb's parents and a part of his life! We praise God for him and all the love and joy he brings into our home! He is truly a gift from God!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY K-MAN!! We love you and keep letting your light shine for Jesus! We look forward to all the Birthdays to come!! Wonder what your theme will be next year? :)
