We've been Tagged!

Ok, I am brand new to this tagging thingy. But, here goes.....
Kaylee Jordan Koberstein
A few things you may or may not know, and probably some you don't want to!
1. She weighed 9 lbs. 6 oz. when she was born! HUGE BABY!
2. She is a PRINCESS... I don't know where she gets some of her ideas, though I have been accused on occasion.
3. She loves to SING! She is a great singer and knows the words to lots of songs, especially Primary songs. I am so happy to have her in Primary now so she can sing with the kids in sacrament meeting programs! She always loved music as a baby and as she learned to talk, she sang and sang. My personal favorite is "Joy to the World." She knows all four verses!

4. She has an amazing understanding of the Gospel! Seriously, I love when she teaches the FHE lessons. And sometime you should ask her to teach you about the resurrection.
5. She will start Kindergarten this fall!
6. She has an amazing imagination, I mean this girl can draw you into her pretend world and you won't remember who you really were to begin with! 7. She loves to swim and is getting quite good!
8. She loves babies. She wants more babies. She once wanted 10 children, until she asked me one day, "Why does it hurt moms to have babies?" Now she wants to adopt!
9. She is the only granddaughter on my side. She is the 4th, I think grandchild on Louis' side. Even though she doesn't get to see her cousins very often, she loves them and always asks about them!
10. She loves snowmen! When she was 6 months old I gave her a snowman given to me for a shower gift and she took that thing everywhere!!! It got lost when we moved just after Charles was born. Only a few tears were shed. They were shed by mom, but Kaylee was ok.
11. She is a sleeping beauty! She would sleep ALL day if I let her, and still is quite good about going to bed early!
12. Kaylee is super smart and most of the time a sweet girl and a great sister. We love her!

Charles Terry Koberstein (Charles calls this his "tuxsqueedo")
1. He is the first "Koberstein" grandson, so we named him after his father and grandfather. Charles loves to say his full name. He thinks it's pretty cool that he shares a name with Grandpa Kobe. But, he looks like a Manwaring!! He is also currently the only grandson on my side. He has two cousins on Louis' side who were born the same summer as he was.
2. He weighed 9 lbs. when he was born. He's still quite heavy and eats a LOT, unless of course it's something he hates!
3. He LOVES Star Wars!!! He sings his own theme music when he runs around playing. It used to have it's own sound, but now he sings the Star Wars theme music, or Darth Vader's music! This is him dressed up as Darth Vader. Kaylee is Princess Leia. Other favorites are Cars, Toy Story, other Pixar flicks, etc.
4. He loves Kaylee. He always wants to play with her and he will do almost anything for her, except pretend to be someone's boyfriend! (Funny story, ask me later!)
5. He is stinking smart! He talks so well and when he was 18 months old he could correctly name and identify all the letters in the alphabet. He must get that from me!
6. He is quite agreeable. He is very submissive and easy to persuade. Just a nice, easy going guy. Reminds me of his uncle, Daniel. He does have his moments, but really, they are few and far between, especially compared to his sister.... He is also soooo funny! I love his goofy faces!
7. He loves his Uncle Jake!!! When Charles was a baby, Aunt Tressa was his favorite person, then she met Jake. They started dating and she quickly took a backseat. He still loves Tressa, but Jake is number one, I think.
8. He loves watching MOVIES! This includes movies of himself, which is probably why I post so many video clips! If he's looking at a picture with me he'll say, "Turn it on, Mom!"

9. His best friend is Andrew Meadows. He always wants to go to Andrew's house or see him at nursery and "play lightsabers."

10. He is an early riser!!! It doesn't matter how late he goes to bed, which is usually a minute before me and Louis, he is almost always the first one awake!
11. He loves babies, especially "Baby Zimon" (Simon Meadows) and "Baby Izzie" (Isabella Hollingsworth) and "Baby Cooper" (Cooper Johnnie)
12. He will often sigh and say, "Mom, I love you." This is much appreciated especially considering that when Kaylee was his age she was often saying, "I hate you, Mom." Thanks, Charles! His other favorite saying is, "You're the best." When you tell him he's the best, he says, "Thanks, mom!"

A few last facts about both Kaylee and Charles. They are so lucky to have so many living grandparents! 3 Grandpa's and 5 Grandma's! Who spoil them very much!!! Also, they both love to pray! Some of the best fights we have here are at prayer time deciding whose turn it is!
