First big boy party

A few weeks ago Caleb went to his first big boy birthday party. It was for Marcos, the son, of a couple in our Sunday school class.

We went to Little Gym. Caleb had a blast! He was climbing over all he blocks, holding our hand and walking across a balance beam, and flipping over a bar.

It was so fun to watch Matt and Caleb. Caleb would hang on to the bar, then Matt would sling his body over. Caleb would just laugh and giggle. It was a very enjoyable experience.



After the time was over in the gym, it was time for pizza, presents, and cake.

Even though Caleb was the littlest one there he had a blast. I still can't believe he will be two in two months. Time is flying by.

Mom's little helper

So Caleb has really been into helping. He wants to help us load the dishwasher, unload the dishwasher, fold clothes, feed the dog, but I think his favorite thing to help mom with is cooking.

He pushes a chair up to the counter, climbs up and say "help, please".
He loves to help pour and stir. We make muffins, jello, and the picture to the right is an oven bake dinner.

It is so cute to watch him, he is growing up way to fast. I am trying to soak up every moment that I spend with him. I just want to stop time because he is so fun at this age.

New look for the curtains!

So I have been reading home decorting blogs such as www.thehappyhomebody.blogspot.com, www.livingwithlindsay.blogspot.com, tehy gave me an idea to add curtain toppers in the living room. I made these before I took my sewing class so I used the no sew, hemming tape. For my first time I don't think they turned out too bad.

Call me Domestic Diva!!!

LONG OVER DUE

Caleb's dedication was very ebentful. Everyone came that was invited. Caleb was pretty good. However, with the next baby we will make sure they are not mobile. :)

My sister the singer!

Taylor had a concert last night at Weatherford College. I must confess she was the best one out of the bunch! She looked amazing and sounded like an angel. I am so proud of her. Caleb also did really really well. I was worried that he was going to make a scene, but he sat happily in my dad's lap and watched the show. Towards the end of the concert he even fell asleep.

Baby Stellan

YAHOOOO!!!!!! Stellan and his mama are on their way home from the hospital!! God is so very good! Thanks to everyone who prayed for him.

Time for a change

I have only been blogging since Aug. So I thought I would give my blog page a make over. I have to confess that I am still trying to learn how to make it fancy and cute ( I have a long way to go). Anyway the guys are asleep and I am enjoying my quite Saturday morning.

We are dedicating Caleb tomorrow at church. We should have around 20-25 people there. I am very excited. If you would have asked me a year ago if I would be a member, a full blown, going every Sunday, loving my Sunday school group, baptized active member at a Southern Baptist Church I would have asked if you were crazy. But it is funny how the Lord works. He gave me a HUGE wake up call. And now I could not be happier with my life. All I needed was HIM to lean on and allow to carry me through.

Since we are on the topic, please take a moment and pray that Stellan, MckMama and her entire family as they are going through this very trying time. I have posted a link to Stellan's prayer site. I follow his journey daily. Reading it makes me want to come home and just hold and hug and kiss Caleb all over. It also makes me want to priase the Lord for blessing Matt and I will a health baby.

Ok this is becoming a very long post. I need to get stuff done before we go to a crawfish boil tonight.

I found out about this blog through one of the blogs that I am following. My heart breaks for this mother and family. I am keeping them in my prayers and I hope that you will do the same.

Shower

Jordan and I along with a few members of Ashlee's family threw her a baby shower this past weekend. I went so good!!! I can't wait for to have that little girl!! I am so excited. She also told me that they might be moving to the Dallas Fort Worth area! Which mean she will be ALOT closer to us. We can take the kids on play dates and get to spend more time together! :) Here are a few pictures from the shower
