I always think I'll run out of words each year and won't be able to do a post for his birthday or our anniversary, etc but then I always sit down to write about him and words flow out of me. Since this post is all about Kaleb James Hargrove I thought I would share 24 fun facts about him that you may not know. Just FYI I did this when he turned 21 so to be fair I won't post anything that's the same from that post. He has changed a lot in these last 3 years since we've been married and watching him change has been so fun for me.

1) He has an obsession with hole-in-the-wall places and doesn't want to eat at chain restaurants when we're in a new town.
2) He is a craft beer enthusiast.
3) He likes to home brew now because of that enthusiasm.
4) He loves anything Sci-Fi.
5) He loves to play golf but always comes back from playing and tells me how bad he is at it. Psh, men.
6) He makes a mean baked potato soup and it's the one dish I won't even try to make because he does such a good job with it.
7) German Chocolate Cake and Brownies are his favorite desserts.
8) He loves a good pair of khaki pants.
9) He's an Apple guy forced to live an Android life for the next year. Total bummer.
10) He is crazy in love with his son and can be seen engaging in some awesome tickle fights with him after getting home from work.
11) He is in school to be a pastor but it's slow going with his full time job and family.
12) He has many plans in his head to open a business.
13) He is very engaged in mine and Elijah's life (and one day Abigail's too no doubt). He doesn't just coast through when it comes to being a husband and father.
14) He has an amazing idea for a documentary and we often talk about what he wants it to look and be like.
15) His metabolism is ridiculous. He can be seen constantly eating but never gains any weight, lucky guy.
16) He owns a kilt.
17) He is a nerd in all forms and loves when he finds a fellow nerdy guy to be friends with.
18) He doesn't like the texture of yogurt and never eats it.
19) Star Wars. Nuff said.
20) He likes to baby wear.
21) He can play the guitar, bass, drums, and piano but the drums are still his main instrument
22) He loves his job and can often be seen with a popsicle in hand.
23) He has compassion for so many people and their burdens. I wish I was more like him in this area.
24) He doesn't want to settle for a comfortable Christian life. He yearns for deeper intimacy with the Lord and to walk in the supernatural.

TWO!!!!!!

My first born is two. My oldest baby is not even looking like a baby anymore. He seems so grown up even though I know there is so much more growing he still has to do. A few things this two year old can do/likes:

• Forming actual sentences
• Loves to repeat
• Has become a much pickier eater #pickyeatersclub
• Favorite foods-all fruit, PBJ sandwiches, and anything that's dippable
• Down to one nap a day
• Can climb out of his crib and pack n play
• Has become more of an early riser
• Loves to "play" golf
• Loves for anyone and everyone to read to him
• Favorite TV shows are Jake and The Neverland Pirates ("Yo-Ho") and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
• Loves the slide at the park and will spend a whole hour going down it over and over again
• Loves the splash pad
• Wearing 2T clothes
• Size 5-6 in shoes
• Can use the potty and asks constantly but we haven't begun full on potty training yet
• Runs everywhere. Walking is too slow for him.
• Loves to kiss mama's belly and say hello to his baby sibling
• Not shy at all, extremely friendly
• Current favorite phrases-"Oh, MAN!" and "Daddy, come here!" 
• Loves playing with other kids but hasn't quite learned how to share toys yet

That's right. I'm a total princess/diva who has an entire weekend of birthday fun planned. But in reality it's just a weekend with my parentals and sister, my in laws, and my only little family. I. Am. So. Excited. Prepare for the Instabomb and Facebook picture overload. My mom texted me a couple of days ago asking me what I wanted for my birthday. I replied with "Clothes. Same as always." I seriously have zero clothes for spring/summer so that's a pretty fair answer I think. However, if I were totally honest. I've wanted the same thing for my birthday/Christmas/any other present-giving holiday for years now. And that one thing is this my friends:

Kaleb is 21 years old today. 21.
