More Conversations with Caleb

I wish we had an attic pipe.

I called Caleb at my Mom's house to tell him I was on my way home from work. He asked, Are you on the Gene Snyder? Actually, I am.

Can I have a Popsicle? No. We haven't had dinner yet. Fine! I'll just run away. Ok. (A few minutes later...) I have a good idea. If you give me a Popsicle, I won't run away.

Caleb, quit hitting me! I'm not! I'm hammering you.

You're not a nice Momma. You can't have any Diet Coke at the ball game.

Let your brother lay on you, please. No! Caleb, let him lay on you. Noooo! I'm not a couch.

Creed's friend Mark said to Caleb, "Maybe you could come over and play in our basement?" Caleb responded, Or I could come see your attic and insulation!

Wagon Ride

Our wagon just got harder to pull...and we don't mind a bit!!)

Round Two

One of the VERY best things Caleb ever got was his Step 2 car. We have used it more than anything, and he actually still loves to ride in it. He actually calls it his "Nascar," since he and PeePaw have Nascar races in it. Now, it looks as though the Nascar has a new driver...

The Dreaded Security Tag

Before Luke was born someone gave us a Carter's set- pants, long sleeve onesie, and short sleeve onesie. It is a size 9 months, so I've had it hanging in the closet since February. Since I liked it and knew he would use it, I took off the tags and threw away the gift receipt. Since he is now wearing 9 month clothes, I pulled it out of the closet and was ready to throw it in the washing machine when I saw this...

the dreaded LEFT ON security tag! Here is the issue...I don't know what store it came from, and even if I did, I don't even have the tags, much less the receipt. I realize it is only a onesie, something that I could replace for less than $10. BUT, it is cute, and matches the pants. Any suggestions?? Would love advice on how to pry it off...

Rainy Day Fun

These Days

These days, Luke continues to be a happy, content baby

full of smiles

and Caleb is ALL boy, preferring Nerf guns, Buzz Lightyear, and fighter jets.

Familypalloza (sp?)

On Labor Day we went to Southeast's annual "Familypalooza," or a carnival as Caleb called it. It was a few hours before PeePaw's flight so he got to go too! We even got to meet up with cousin Matteo who was in town for the weekend. Caleb loved the bouncies, slides, petting zoo, and pony rides. Luke just sat back and enjoyed all the sights

This is my favorite picture...You'll notice that Caleb has a look of terror on his face. The pony in front of his pooped and he was SO sicked out when he saw it!

Matteo is such a cute and busy little guy. We actually got to celebrate his first birthday with him last month. Funny story about why he is in a pink stoller...My aunt bought it to keep at her house for when he is in town. She thought by the looks of it folded that it was brown...nope. It's mostly pink with some brown. Ha!

Fun with PeePaw

This past weekend PeePaw came to visit and to say that Caleb was excited would be an understatement. Caleb had been counting down- first 4 weeks, then 3 weeks,...then we started counting down the days. When I went into his dark room Thursday morning the first words he uttered were, "Is today Friday?" So, imagine his excitement when he woke up Friday, realizing that it was indeed Friday and he would get to pick PeePaw up at the airport! While we had some crazy weather this weekend (It went from 102 degrees one day to only mid 60s two days later) we still made the most of our time.

One morning Caleb and PeePaw went for donuts...

and then to the park.

They are such buddies and have the best time together.

Erin & Tyler

This past Friday night we went to my cousin Erin's wedding. It was so beautiful and SO hot. Record setting temperatures for September...an outdoor wedding...water bottles...frozen grapes...sweaty, sweaty guests...But, it was still a perfect evening. Erin's dress was stunning and she arrived at the ceremony in a horse drawn carriage! Her colors (deep purple and bright green with touches of silver) were perfect.

Heading to the reception with her hubby!

Granny Sue looked so pretty! I can only hope I look and feel this good at 93!

My handsome date!

River Bats Game

Take me out to the ball game. Take me out to the crowd (to celebrate Ryan's birthday). Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks (and a giant snow cone with ALL the colors). I don't care if I never get back.
For it's root, root, root for the home team (Go Bats!) If they don't win it's a shame (although they'll still have a great fireworks show).
For it's 1...2...3 strikes- you're out! At the old ball game!

(A special thanks to Blair, for singing it with Caleb over and over and over again!!!)
