Mother's Day, Grandma, & Dancing

I have been so busy the last couple weeks that I had not had a chance to blog.

Mother's Day 2010 was another successful day. It was my second Mother's Day and of course Caleb and Braden went out of their way to make me feel special. I got a beautiful flower arrangement from my favorite shop (Bows & Arrows) and a gorgeous green (my favorite color) necklace [the picture of me wearing the necklace did NOT turn out good]. Since we had plans to spend Mother's Day with the Howell Family, we decided to celebrate a little early just the three of us with a big, tasty meal at Houston's. I ate so much but was so happily stuffed with yummy food.


Last week Grandma (my mom) was in town visiting. She hadn't seen Caleb in a month and was having grandson withdrawal symptoms. She also had to help my baby sister with some wedding planning fun. It was a great week with Grandma. We always love having her in town.

Caleb is always into something he is not supposed to be into. Lately you can find him climbing on the treadmill in the guest room. We always laugh and say he is working out his chubby little thighs (that we love so much). He is just too cute.

After Caleb' s jog on the treadmill, he went down for a nap. I couldn't resist trying to get a couple pictures of him sleeping.

So angelic when he sleeps!


Grandma bought Caleb this really cute outfit (I love the cutoff jeans). He was rocking his new outfit for me :)

While Grandma was in town, she taught Caleb to LOVE Nilla Wafers. I can vividly remember sitting in my rocking chair as a child with a box of Nilla Wafers and watching cartoons. Needless to say, Caleb is a BIG fan and eats a few cookies a day.

The other night Caleb had been playing so hard that he needed a quick break to get some water and hang out with Daddy.

I love it when Caleb and Braden match (blue polo & plaid shorts)

Sweet Baby Face!

Well, not so much a baby with all those teeth!

We have been working with Caleb at feeding himself with a spoon/fork. He can eat with his hands with no problems but we would like our child to be a little neater.

The other night, he would not give up the fork after dinner.

Most mornings on the way to school, Caleb falls asleep in the car. I just couldn't resist another angelic picture of my baby sleeping.

Last night after dinner Braden turned on some tunes and we all danced around the living room.

Caleb is starting to get into it

Then Caleb wanted to Dance with me

And I dipped him

When it was time for bed, Braden took off Caleb's clothes but he was not done dancing.

WOW! What is this? Is this my big belly where all my food goes?

Last (but not least) my sweet puppy girl, Lexi.

I have to brag on my sweet puppy. She has been a rockstar when it comes to Caleb. We are working with Caleb on being gentle and nice to animals. But, he is so rough with Lexi. Does Lexi bite him? No. She takes all the abuse and still kisses him every day. I could not have asked for a better dog to have. She has really been patient and kind to Caleb - for that, I am blessed.
