T.P.

Guess who got into the toilet paper, but didn't want to TRY to use the potty? She just thought it was playtime!

School Party

Pictures from Calebs Class Party on Friday for Valentines. He had so much fun! I got there a little before 9:30am. which is when the party "started" Caleb ran to me to make sure I brought all his Valentines and Supplies we had signed up for! Mommy was on top of things and The kids ate sandwiches, chips, cookies, cupcakes and shared all their candy and passed out all their Valentines to each other! I think Sarah enjoyed all the excitement too! She mostly walked around with a cheeto or ham sandwich in her hand! :)

double the fun...;)

Caleb had his sleepover last night and boy was it fun for him.

He was super excited all day about his Valentines Party @ school, that he almost forgot on Friday that his friend from Church was coming over.

The fun started around 6p.m. and didn't stop till almost 10:30p.m.  They ate, played, watched a movie and had a blast.

Then they both decided they needed to head to bed.With no complaints at all! They were worn out.

At 6:45am and then again at 7a.m. They were already ready to get up and eat. They complained, 

"We are starving, and our stomachs are about to burst!" ~Too Funny!

So they ate cereal, and passed up cinnamon rolls(that the adults ended up eating.),

Lucky Charms was the breakfast of choice! :)

Then off to the grocery store all 5 of us. Sams and HEB.

Boy were we tired. All that walking and shopping.

Chili Dogs for Lunch, then Naps for the boys.

Wow, and a good 2 1/2 hour nap at that!

Then we all went on a small walk down the road. 

A Scooter, Bike and Jogging Stroller to boot!

We all had frozen pizza for dinner while we settled in to watch some olympics,

 until it was time to get picked up.

We all had so much fun. Caleb wasn't ready for his friend to leave, but he's so ready to do it all over again!

 

 

 

For Caleb's first sleepover, it was great!

(We had to hide his face because he's in foster care.)

My Pride and Joy!

I love this picture. He's still always eager to "cheese" for the camera!

Just a little update of C Man. He's doing so good in school and is the BEST big brother a sister could ask for.

Recently, I'm still trying to remind some of the volunteers/aids on his campus that boys will be boys, and 4 year olds are just that. 4 year olds. They are still just babies in a sense and aren't out of that  preschool phase yet. Its a little irritating on my end, because they don't always see it that way. HIS new class aide does and I'm grateful. She and I talked this week, and its so wonderful to hear that she thought he was a "joy" and so "personable" to be around! Aww, I just melted! I'm so proud of him. And I'm just Blessed he is able to attend school to get the feel of what it will be like next year when he goes all day. I'm praying for a smooth transition, especially with no nap! 

 He will be having his first sleepover this Friday, and he's so excited! He keeps asking me, "How many more days, Mom?" And everyday, is one day closer. It's a church friend and He's very excited as well!

I'm definitely up for the challenge and ready for some fun memories. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures!

16 Months

Sarah is 16 months as of today. What a big girl she's beginning to be! I was watching her sleep early this morning and realizing how LONG she's getting. She's going to outgrow that crib before we know it. Her toddler bed is in the makings to be put together to introduce her to it. Yay! for our biggest little girl!

She is walking, almost running. She Can put objects in/out of containers when told to.

She's in love with the Tuperware drawer.

She loves her snack cup.She calls them her "nacks".

She know's how to say Mama, Dada, Bubba, Kitty, Dog, Ball, Shoes, Mine, Done, Bite, Juice, Milk, Hot, Brr, Cold. Ready, Go, Bye, Play, No(doh), PahPah(paci), Love you.

She barks at the dog. "ru ru" with her lips pursed. ;)

She makes the cutest kissy, smushy faces.

She loves to cuddle bears, baby dolls.

She gives you kisses by leaning into you with her cheek.

When we walk in the store she won't take your finger, she wants to do it herself!

She goes to bed around 7pm and she sleeps until about 9:30am most days.

She loves her friends at MDO, and she is very social.

She can sign, more, please, and done.

If the radio is on in the car she will sing along with it.

If she wants something, she'll point and say, "is" for THIS.

She's a serious eater at every meal and "snacks" nearly all day. But definitely works it all off with the walking!

She and her brother are so in love with one another. She crawled in bed with him the other night.

Then again, she'll rear back and knock the tar out of him. We are teaching him not to do it back because she's just playing usually.

She scrunches her shoulders if you tell her you love her or Call her name and say "Hi baby!"

She runs to the door when her daddy gets home and reaches for him to pick her up.

Some days she will literally follow me around the house while I clean. Sippy and snack cup in hand. Too Funny..

She gets excited and tries to find her shoes to bring them to me(if they aren't already on) when I grab my purse and keys. And starts to say, "eady, eady" She loves to be in the car driving or going somewhere.

She knows how to use a fork to feed herself.

She LOVES music, especially the band that does praise and worship at church.

She's starting to potty train.

All for now, enjoy! I'll update again @ 18 months!

New Things, and One Crazy Morning

What a crazy week. From getting a new truck to almost losing the new truck. We can say that its been very exciting on Short St.

Yes, after 4 1/2 years Rob was able to get a truck of his own. He was so excited and the kids and I were excited for him! Wed. we met the guy that was selling it and was able to come home with this:

No Payments! Nothing Owed! Praise The Lord, What a Blessing!

Then On Thursday, early morning before school/work. We were getting everyone ready and I heard a crash outside. We came out to find our mailbox like this:

And the guy didn't stop. He kept going and it sure did tear up his SUV. He even moved the rock beside the mailbox a good 2 feet. We had Robs new truck parked in the drive and the driver barely missed it when he was trying to flee. Interesting day to say the least!

Better days came today, when we walked outside to find NO rain but sunshine! God is soo Good.:)

Happy Weekend!

Hooo!!

Well, we have finally come to a decision on Sarahs big girl bedding set. I debated for the last 6 months what I was going to use, because I didn't want it to be the cheesy Disney Bedding. (Cinderella, Tinkerbell, etc. Grant it Sarah loves Tinkerbell) but I wanted something that would grow with her. Nothing that would necessarily be a phase of something that she would like one week and couldn't stand the next.

So this is what we decided on The Circo Love & Nature Set From Target. I'm really loving it with all the different colors. And I will post more pics as we get her big girl bed set up and the crib taken down (*tear*) and I also plan on doing a few murals for her room to tie into the whole owl theme. 
I just think its too cute.

Happy Birthday Dad & Grandpa!

We love you!! Hope you have a wonderful day! 

Love, Your Babies!
