Halloween 2014

Halloween was fun this year.  Kieran chose to be Superman.  I wanted to make his costume, it took me a bit to find the right colors, but I finally got it!  He took his costume to school, and they had a little costume parade, and then we went to some friends house.  They have a block party, with games, and food, and Kieran enjoyed it.  He went trick-or-treating, which I wasn't too keen on.  Chris and Ashley took all the kids up and down the street.  The first house he came to he was the last one and was just watching the other kids.  He stood there with his bucket out and when they put candy in, he looked in at it and back up at them.  Chris had to go up and get him to leave.  =)  He did get into his candy on the way home too.  He would NOT let go of his bucket of goodies, so I told him he can't have anything till we got home.  I heard him rummaging thru his bucket and then heard him bite into a piece of candy.  I pulled over and he had a big snickers bar and had taken a bite out of it with the wrapper on!  He then got into a bag of M & M's, and tried sucking on a starburst which got all sticky.  But needless to say, he enjoyed Halloween and having a cape and boots!

Kieran's 1st attempt at a skateboard.  He wants to get on it all the time now.  He will get on, and hold on to the porch and slowly move himself along.  He has a long way to go, but he's getting there!

Our latest wedding we did.  At the Marriott in Coronoado with a completely covered tent.  It was gorgeous and luckly a great day in November!

We were walking thru Target one night and he saw his size chairs, so he told me he needed to sit and watch people.

Telling me a story about something.  This kid loves to talk, and is usually talking unless he has food in his mouth.

2nd Birthday

We just celebrated Kieran's 2nd birthday this past weekend.  Thursday Tino, his friend Abe, Molly, Abigail and I took him up to Disneyland on his birthday.  It was fun, just a long day.  The kids didn't nap, it was crowded, and waiting in lines and having to say no to toys and getting off rides, and eachother made for a long day.  It was fun though, Kieran got to ride his 1st roller coaster.  In ToonTown they have a little kids roller coaster that you have to be 35" to ride and he just barely hit it.  I video taped it all, so hopefully I can upload it to YouTube.  By the time we finished the ride he was scrunched down next to Tino, but when we stopped he said "more time" which is his way of saying again, 1 more time.  It was a legit roller coaster too, Abigail rode it last year and came off the ride so pumped, and again this time, her and Molly sat in the front row!  We didn't get to ride everything the adults wanted to, some rides were closed, but also cause the lines were so long.  Molly had never been to California Adventure, so we went over there halfway thru the day.  It is different from Disneyland, so I'm not sure how much Molly really enjoyed it, she likes Disneyland.  And the kids were starting to get moody so we didn't get to do a whole lot.  We stayed till about 8:45 and left, so it was a long day, but Kieran had a good time. 
I took popsicles to daycare Friday to have with his friends.  They said they were a hit with the kids and they all sat and ate their popsicles and were good.  That night Molly and Chris and the girls came over to celebrate and have dinner and presents.  He got an easel that sits on the table, a Mickey book, some Angry Bird Star Wars stuffed characters, his first baseball glove and a little wagon for outside.  I even gave him a mini cupcake which he just ate the icing off and then smooshed the cake.  He had a great birthday, and enjoyed the attention. 
Here are some pictures from his birthday and other things.

Kieran was supposed to go up to Tino's parents for Easter, but got Hand-foot and mouth disease so he stayed home.  We had a small easter egg hunt for him.

 Riley got to go for her 1st bike ride!!
