Chuck E Cheese

A few weekends ago Braden, Caleb, and I went to Chuck E Cheese. Our brother & sister-in-law were baby sitting and wanted us to go with them. Here are some of the "pictures" we had made.

OOPS!!

What happened to Caleb's diaper?

Good thing his hiney is the most adorable hiney in the world

So happy to be outside playing

I bought this hat to take with me on a trip to Mexico next month (so excited).

I guess I didn't put it up high enough on the shelf because when I went into the closet to find Caleb, he was wearing my hat :)

Random Pictures

Last week I had a work obligation for most of the week so Caleb and Braden hung out "just the boys" for two nights.

Caleb got to play at Nana & Papa's house

He looks SO cute in this hat

Caleb sent me a wave to tell me he was thinking about me

Aunt Bubba came over one night to see the monkey and sent me this cute picture

He is a BIG helper

Another Wonderful Weekend

It was another fun packed, wonderful weekend for the Howell Trio.

Friday night Braden and I went to our Barrett & Amy's Baby Shower. It was the first time we had left Caleb with anyone except for family. I was a little nervous but everything turned out just fine and he was a good boy for his babysitter. The Baby Shower was a lot of fun. They got lots of great gifts for the baby. We are really excited to welcome our beautiful niece Micah in August.

Saturday morning we met up with our realtor to look at some houses. It was great to see what is out there and get excited about hopefully selling our house and moving into more space. Saturday afternoon was pretty quite with everyone taking a little nap and recharging for a fun celebration in Ft Worth on Saturday evening.
Saturday evening we drove to Ft Worth for a party to celebrate my dear friend Sasha. If you remember about a year ago Sasha was burned in a backyard cookout. She has been working non-stop for the last year on her recovery. She is one of the strongest women I know. It was a great time to celebrate Sasha.

Sunday was really low key. I woke up with no voice and not feeling great. Braden took Caleb to church so I could stay at home and rest and try to feel better. I took a little nap and woke up feeling fine but still had no voice. It is really hard not talking and trying to conserve my voice. Sunday evening we went over to Barrett & Amy’s house to watch them open all the gifts from their Baby Shower. They cleaned up!!

Caleb took a shower with Daddy

Don't forget to squeegee the shower after you are done

Huggies has these Limited Edition Blue Jeans diapers.
I couldn't resist buying some for Caleb.
SO CUTE!

Caleb got one of Braden's shoes out of the closet and was walking around with it on.

Caleb's newest trick is climbing in and out of his dump truck.

We tell him no and to get out. But, sometimes, you just have to photographer your child being bad.

"What? I need to get out of here?"

"Oops! How did I get in here?"

"Row, Row, Row my dump truck"

I took this picture because I wanted to show Caleb's first real bruise.

Last week at school he tripped and hit is face on a chair.

Poor Baby :(

Caleb was mad when we made him get out of the Dump Truck

My Handsome Boys

Caleb has learned to stick his tongue out recently.

He thinks it is SO funny when you stick yours out too.

This is the sweet face that gets Caleb out of trouble

and this sweet face

Caleb was EXHAUSTED on the drive back from Ft Worth on Saturday.

He had a death grip on his bottle

Memorial Day Weekend

First I have to say a big Thank You to all the men and women who serve our country. Our American Flag was flying all day on Monday in honor of you.

It was a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. The weekend started off on Friday afternoon as we drove out of town and headed to the Howell Family Lake House. We spent Friday & Saturday with Nana, Papa, Unc Unc (Uncle Barrett), and Aunt Amy. We had a great time enjoying the sun, lake, and each others company. We are so blessed to have such a great family.

Caleb got this little calculator from his Uncle Matt. On the way home from the lake he put it to his ear and wanted to call Uncle Matt.

We drove home from the lake on Sunday morning. It was such a beautiful day that Caleb and I went for a little walk down the street.

Caleb is seriously the cutest thing I have ever seen.

Happy Boy

Monday was a very fun day for Caleb. We ran errands most of the day. Then after the heat of the afternoon sun, we ventured over to Papa & Nana's for some much need pool time fun. Caleb had a great time splashing and playing in the pool.

"When can we go outside?"
