The other day I had to run to Walmart to grab a card real quick. Of course, with kids I still had to grab a cart. We went in, got the card, paid and were out in a matter of minutes (only since it was 8am)... I put Kate back in the car and left Kaden in the cart to return it to the cart return. When I pushed it in I did what every other Walmart cart returner does (keeping in mind, not all Walmart shoppers actually return their carts!) I slammed it into the other carts in a nice, but forceful way. Kaden looks up at me and goes "WHoa MOM! Watch where you're going!"
I felt like I had a teenager. REALLY, Kaden? THanks. My very next thought was, "If I ever get into an accident and he says that-heads could fly." Just sayin'.
I just have to say, for being at Walmart a whole 5 minutes it was memorable. Between Kaden's mouth and the phone calls I got. One was as I walked in-from the Walmart pharmacy. Now-how convnenient is that? Except I didn't want the meds. Of course, I'll never be in Walmart when I do want the meds and they call. Oh well.

Cheyenne & Denver
Early this month we headed down to Cheyenne, WY so Luke could attend the WES Conference for his engineering stuff. (Can you tell I know a lot about it?) We headed down on Thursday and did a little shopping and took the kids swimming. Both LOVED the pool. And Kate was so adorable in her little baby swimsuit. Want proof? Ok, fine, I'll put some pictures in (since you twisted my arm, and all.)Ok "some pictures" might have been an understatement. Sorry.
While Luke was at the conference on Friday, the kids and I did some shopping. It was a really windy, cold day and by about 2pm I was SO done. Thankfully, Luke decided to skip out on the last 45 mintues of the conference and we got to head to Denver (and Brent and Claire's) early. We got there in time to eat some dinner and then Luke and Brent headed to a Nuggets basketball game. While they were there we did our best to tire out our 2 year olds...here's a hint to what they did!
I think they ended up having a bath everyday we were there. It was a great entertainment when we adults were worn out! They went to bed VERY well for us that night.
Saturday we took the boys to the mall to wear themselves out in the indoor play area. That's where my finger decided to swell, itch, and totally take away from my day. I survived, but it sure was annoying. For the afternoon, Claire and I got to go shopping all by ourselves. It probably sounds more fun than it was, since neither of us felt like we had money to blow! It was nice to get away and I'm totally jealous that Claire has access to all those stores within 5 minutes notice. (Traffic depending-of course!)That evening we made the men put the boys to bed. Let's just say it didn't go so well for them. It makes a mom feel good...is that bad????
Sunday was the superbowl, snacks for the kids, more baths, and just hanging out and relaxing.
Oh yah. And church! Kate got compliments for how good of a baby she is in the church nursery. She's such a sweetie!
Here's a picture of the boys...as you might have noticed it was a little hard to get them still enough to get a good one. This was MAJOR success!
We got home Monday evening and we were all so tired that we put on Lady and the Tramp and had movie night til we were allowed to go to bed!
Thanks Brent, Claire, and Parker for letting us see your world!

A little bit of ♥
The last time I posted I remember it was a sick day...it's been a while, and yet, not much has changed! Fevers seem to be the theme of this year so far, but we're glad that so far, they don't seem to be signaling anything too horrible. Kaden's the last one to have a fever, and today seems to be doing MUCH better. Kate's fever seemed to be a result of teething-although-we still have no teeth to show for it. At this rate she's gonna be a hairless, toothless, one year old soon. Poor girl. *edit* I think this picture is how she's felt lately...with her teething, etc...
We celebrated Valentine's day a bit early in the Antonich world. Tradition is for me to make heart pizzas and have candlelit dinner as a family. Kaden loved his mini heart pizza and the "fires". I think Luke did too. He brought home some roses-which are STILL sitting beautifully on the table a week later. Kate got to have mac 'n cheese...she seemed thrilled until she realized she didn't have pizza on her tray. I'd post a picture but my camera has disspeared. Very frustrating. VERY.
*edited* The pictures are now uploaded. I'm thanking the camera elves for bringing it back to me so soon! Here are my other two Valentines! I'm a lucky girl!!!
Every year I just can't wait til next Valentine's Day!

Sick Day!
Katelyn started running a fever yesterday, then in the middle of the night threw up a little bit. This morning I thought she was doing better, but her fever spiked again around 9:30am. SO, here we are, down in our basement with netflix running and as comfy as possible! Kaden's loving the mom time and Katelyn is loving the movies! (Truth be told, Kaden's loving the movies just as much!) I did run out and get starbucks to help me through the day, and ran one errand. Other than that I'm just going to love on my kids and do my best to not have a TO-DO list today. Here's a picture of Kate-it's not the greatest because it's from my phone.
To bad I didn't realize we needed more baby advil. SIGH. Maybe I'll run out when Luke's home for lunch. I swear the Advil cuts the fever WAY better than Tylenol-but we're using both to keep on top of it.

Time goes on and on and on...
My babies are growing up. In some ways, it's exciting. In others, I'm a typical mom-trying to hold on to my babies forever. ♥
Today we lowered the mattress on Katelyn's crib. She was able to pull herself up-and we feared over- the side rail. This means I can no longer just lean over and kiss her sleeping cheek. I will miss that until she's in a real bed someday.
Today also marks the first day she was completely unwilling to eat baby food. For the past couple days we can squeeze in a bite or 2 here and there. Today-lunch to be exact- had to be table food. NO baby food. She had 2 helpings of peas, a helping of pears, some cottage cheese and ham. She didn't do too well with the ham, but not TOO bad either. I'm trying to remember what I fed Kaden at this age! Lots of veggies, crackers, noodles, and such.
On a similar note, she is VERY into Kaden's sippy. If it is in the room then that is ALL she wants. So, today, we gave her her very own sippy cup. She was thrilled.
As for Kaden, we got him his new booster car seat last night. It's the kind that just repostions the seat belt to fit him better. He tried it out by going to Home Depot with Daddy this morning. I don't think he even noticed it was different. I had to go put him back in it in his pajamas to get this pic. He thought it was weird, and didn't cooperate very well!
As for Luke and I, there is no development to report. Probably more like getting older and falling apart kind of stuff. But I'll spare you!

Two and a Half already!
Kaden is 2 1/2 years old today. He's still young enough to count in half years, right? He is such a bright spot in my world! He's my alarm clock (and if I'm already awake, he makes sure I'm WIDE awake and ready to go!) He's my conversation piece - I am so bad at meeting new people, but not him. And he drags me into it with him! He's a tease. Just today he figured out that Kate was crawling after him for the toy he had, so -with a giggle and a grin- he took off, teasing her all the while with the toy. She wasn't impressed, but he was. He's so smart! He told me the other day that he would need a plane to get to the clouds, but a rocket to get to the "moons and stars." He told Brittany today that she should go to Kmart and get a carseat for her car so he could go places with her. And he's sure to correct me on what things are EXACTLY. ("Food" does NOT cut it. It's "peas" or "macaroni and cheese" or any other specific.) He's my drama boy. Everything he does is done with his whole heart, and when it doesn't go as planned, it's a major crisis. He's my favorite little boy.
