Good-bye Earl...

Earl's a gonner.  Drew looks sad in this picture but he's really been so proud of himself.  He figured out where he was and sprayed some bug spray in there.  Earl came flying out and Drew went crazy on him!  No more chirping at night...I kinda miss him.  I could always count on Earl!

 Waiting in line to jump on a tramp at a gymnastics place. They all look so angry!!

Playing at the Phoenix Zoo...

Kade loves his buddies...he is finally potty trained for good thanks to these guys.  Once Kade saw them go potty he hasn't looked back.  Peer pressure maybe?  I don't even care...potty training is over!

Here they are reading the map and figuring out where to go next.

 The weather is awesome.  We have been taking Kade for some fun bike rides.

We walked to breakfast...

Drew's favorite thing to do!

 Here's our sweet valentine treat we made for daddy!

And how rad are we for Valentine's Day...we went to Chik-Fil-A for a candle light dinner!  I am obsessed with this place and am pretty much a regular.  One employee introduced themselves to me today because they see me so often and felt like we should know each other's names. 

 It was a fun night and I think it will become a tradition.  No need to pay for a babysitter. 

Love you boys!

Earl Has to Die

 After 2 years of moving around we sure have some good memories of each of the apartments we've lived in.  Here's another one for the books.  So a cricket climbed somewhere behind the dishwasher about 4 or 5 months ago and has been chirping his little heart out every night when it gets dark.  He usually stops when he hears us come into the kitchen but starts back up again as soon as we leave.  We have always figured he would die eventually but he sure hasn't.  Drew had had enough one night and went after him.  He was worried he may have knocked another cricket up and had babies back there.  So before considering bug spray, he tore this whole thing apart after I had gone to bed.  I woke up around 2 am and went to the kitchen to get a drink.  I saw everything ripped out and could hear Earl (Drew named him) chirping away in triumph!

 

Here's Drew's To Do list...my favorite is #7.  It's still not crossed off and it's been a few weeks. 

We pretty much do everything naked around here...by "we" I mean Kaden!  He loves soccer and trying to help me make dinner.

Here he is in his jersey with his loot he scored from China.  Dad spoiled us when he got home!
