Kisses for Baby Sister

Kason is almost 15 months old.  He has quite the personality. Any time someone opens the door he runs over to try and follow them outside. Whenever he hears the door close, he will run to the couch, sit on the back, and watch them leave.  He runs over to the window several times a day, including when he hears a dog bark or when a car pulls up.  He loves to look out the window! His new words this week are “Meow” like the kitty which he always does softly and quietly like the cat. He also said “Rope” on Sunday while looking at his My Family book.  He jabbers all the time and is very particular about what he is saying, although most times it is not understandable.  He is also quite particular about the toaster popping or the microwave beeping.  He will run into the kitchen and yell “Mom” while pointing to the microwave or toaster until someone gets it.  It is pretty cute. He is learning how to whisper which will be great during church! He loves all food, and hasn’t consistently turned down any particular food yet.  

Baby girl is doing great. Heartburn has kicked in this week full force, as well as some serious sciatic nerve pain.  I can’t believe in almost 3 months she will be here.  Kason is also starting to understand that mommy has a baby in her belly. Tonight he gave his baby sister 3 kisses! It was so sweet!

Our week was pretty low key.  Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons I work at the Post Register. Kolt has been working mostly Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights which he did this week.  My mom watched Kason during any overlap between our work schedules which is so nice.  Kolt went to the dentist on Wednesday. He has been a great flosser since our last cleaning, so he was happy to hear his gums were doing great, and he didn’t have any cavities.

For volleyball this week, we played Idaho Falls at home on Tuesday.  We won handily in 3 sets.  Thank you to Kolt and Brand for helping keep score. They were great. The girls played great and passed well. On Thursday, we played Hillcrest. We lost in 5 and probably lost close to 25 serves.  It was frustrating, but it’s always good to have things to work on. Grandma Piquet took Kason for Grandma’s Day on Thursday during the game which was great! They had a great time watching Brand’s team play in Shelley and having a bath!

 

On Friday afternoon, Kason and I met Kolt for lunch at the park by his school.  Kason loves playing at the playgrounds; he is all business until he gets to the top of the slide, then he wants us to make sure we’re watching before he goes down. We had a great time at the park!  On Friday evening, we went to the Bonneville vs. Shelley football game.  We only watched for a little bit, but got to see the half time activities. We even saw Jared Hill win a big screen TV! Kason was serious about watching the game for a while, and then played with a cute girl his age that sat by us.  On Saturday, Kolt helped stack hay for his dad, and then we all went shopping in town.  We had a good afternoon together before Kolt went into work. 

On Sunday, I played the organ, and Kolt and I split teaching the Sunday school lesson.  We learned how keeping the commandments helps us become more like Heavenly Father.  The kids did some hands-on activities in the Hymnbook and in the scriptures and got to share with the class what they found.  Kason played in the nursery for few minutes with Kolt.  Kolt said Kason he was having so much fun that he wouldn’t have cared if he would’ve left.  He played basketball with the hoop for most of the time until they started singing time.  Once they shut the curtain, Kason was too worried about the hoop on the other side, so they came back to Sunday school.  In a few short months, he will be so glad to be able to play in nursery finally! In Relief Society, we had a great lesson taught by our bishop.  We learned about bringing up our kids in truth and light. After church, Kolt and I got our temple recommends renewed.  We had dinner with the Lindley’s.  Kason loved playing with his cousins.  In the evening, we went out to Kolt’s parents, and Kason was in heaven again to see Paisley and ride on the 4-wheeler with Rope.
