Outings

Here are some pictures from being out and about as a family. This is kind of a catch up post. :)





















 

Kash Monster

We are so blessed to have this little boy of ours. He fills our heart with such joy and he completes our family. He has quite the personality. If I had to describe him, the words I would use would be:
  • adorable
  • lady killer
  • intense
  • unpredictable
  • picky (not with food, but everything else in life)
  • loving
  • demanding
  • impatient
  • joyful
  • fearless
He is a boy of many names: KashMan, Kashson, Kash Monster, Honey Badger, Mr Mccoy, Kash Kab, Hulk, Hulk-a-Mania, Kash the Destroyer, Deadlift Kashton (this one is because he loves to find the heaviest of things to lift), (release the) Cracken,  etc.

He is very particular and most of the time seems unsure of what he wants. If something makes him slightly upset (ie a door not opening, a toy not doing what he wants, the way something tastes) he tries to destroy it and then proceeds to throw himself around and/or bang his head into the floor/wall. He will even run to the nearest wall to do this. He loves Kaisley. LOVES Kaisley. If he is eating in his high chair and she walks out of his sight he will scream until he can see her again. Sometimes she is the only one who can calm him down. When Kaisley was a baby, she would wake up and we would bring her to our bed and snuggle and she would do this for what seemed like forever. When Kashton wakes up and we bring him to our bed he growls, squeals, snuggles for short periods of time, darts for the edge of the bed, takes the remote and tries to smack you with it, etc. He is WILD! Kashton is a blanket boy. If he sees a blanket and you are holding him he will just scream until you either put him down or grab it yourself. He is an instant cuddle bug anytime he has a blanket. We have to keep one in the car. He is also a big thumb sucker. He does it more than Kaisley ever did. He can be quite challenging at times but we love him more than life.


Hiking



One of my favorite hobbies is hiking. Since Kiley had a hard time even walking, Kais, Kohl and I went off for a scenic hike. It was BEAUTIFUL and we had a small encounter with a heard of 19 elk. When we were coming back on the trail they were standing right on it leading into the parking lot. I put Kais on my back and made a big loop to get around them. I don't think they would have minded us as much but they were cautious of Kohl. One of the bulls started moving towards us at one point, but after a while they calmed down and started grazing again. Kaisley talked about the "melk" all day. 
 
















Sand



We played in the sand at Peter Iredale and "flew" a kite at Seaside. We bought a fighter kite on accident and were really horrible at flying it. It was actually a little embarrassing!
