what we've been up to

We have been trying to finish a few projects around the outside of the house before it gets too blazing hot, and Cale hsa been such a good helper.




We did take some time to enjoy the nice weather as well

Maryn Elizabeth

Maryn is growing so fast she is tall and thin for her hight but heavy for her age. She laughs and coos all the time. Shes constantly making noises and laughing at Cale. Shes such a happy baby now that shes a little older and grown out of that awful colicky stage. She eats a little rice and oatmeal but is still learning to eat from a spoon, she spits most of it back out. She sleeps about 12hours at night waking up once sometimes twice, but shes so fun and always makes me smile. I love watching Cale and her play, and I hope he is still nice to her when they grow a little older.

My boy is 2!

I can't believe Cale is two. We celebrated with a BBQ, fire works, set up his little jumpy house, and made tie die cupcakes. He played and played with his friend william and had a blast. I am pretty sure he had a good day.

He is learning new words every day. He calls me Em a lot of the time and he loves to make Maryn laugh.
He also loves to eat pancakes and strawberries and drink milk. (those are the things he asks for the most) He's growing and learning so fast its so fun to see things through his eyes.

Merry Christmas

This Christmas was a fun one. We stayed in Arizona, spent Christmas eve at my parents, had a fabulous dinner ad spent Christmas morning at home.
When Cale woke up at 7 he wanted us to come into his room to play and started throwing a fit when we tried to get him to come see what santa had left him. When he finally did the first thing he saw was his hot wheels and wanted nothing to do with anything else. He eventually opened his presents and Maryn woke up later, in time for Cale to enjoy her toys as well. It was so cute to see his face light up when he opened his gifts and said cool or wow. Its defiantly more fun to be on this side of Christmas

Family Pics

Here are some family pics that were taken in November when Cason was growing his mustache (very attractive) The kids look adorable in the pics though and thats really what matters.

Thanksgiving

I only took a few pics of Thanksgiving because I was kind of a disaster Cale didn't have a nap and maryn was sick so they we super fun that day.
we started the day with a sort hike in the White Tanks and watched Cale pick up his collection of rocks and sticks then we went to my parents ate watched football and cooked.Cason deep fried a turkey in my parents backyard with my dad and brother. It turned out fabulous and he wants to do it every year.





Later I let Cale hand some candy canes on the tree before we decorated it. He was very specific about where he put them.

The Annual Surprise Party

This past weekend we went to the annual Surprise party the city puts on and this year has been so fun. On Thursday the had cookies with Santa. (Actually the line for santa was SO long and Cale probably wouldn't sit on his lap anyway let alone wait in line so we walked across the street and over to the park and played for a while) Friday was a hot air balloon glow, sky divers, fireworks, and yummy fair food and rides. Saturday is an all day extravaganza with elephant camel and pony rides. they also have bounce houses, train rides, face painting, and a classic car show. Lots of fun. I took the kids by myself on Saturday so we didn't get to stay as long as I would have liked but we had an awesome weekend and will defiantly be attending next year.






PS that is NOT cason in the leather jacket, just wanted to make that clear.
