Who's Ready for Monster Jam!?!?

Caleb LOVES monster trucks! He loves watching them on TV, DVDS...whenever he can!!! He has a whole collection of them and knows each of them by name. When he does watch them on TV he lines them all up on the couch next to him and when their name is called out and doing its thing he picks that one up and says "There you are Grave Digger! Watch what you do!" It is so funny! The other day he made a whole bunch of ramps out of his DVD cases and was playing. It was cute.

One Crazy Chica

Emilee is at the fun stage of trying all sorts of new things. She is taking her first steps and trying to get the hang of walking...she loves putting her head on the floor and looking between her legs upside down...she thinks its hilarious to play in the toilet and go up and down the stairs. I, on the other hand, feel like I am going crazy chasing after her! She's so cute doing half of these things though and it makes it really hard to get mad at her!

His Weekend with Grandma and Hailey

Caleb got to spend some time with his cousin Hailey this past weekend. They had so much fun together. I feel bad that he doesn't get to play with kids more often. We don't live by family really so when we do get together he is on cloud nine! It was cute...Saturday night as I was putting him to bed he said, "Mom I am so tired today. Me and Hailey played so so very hard!" He loves her so much! This is a picture of them in the bath (the floor and grandma were soaked when it was finally over) and afterwards warming up in Grandma's blanket.

Massive Curls

Emilee's hair is so funny. If I don't comb it over and over during the drying process her hair is just a massive set of curls. Gene had really curly hair when he was little and Emilee seems to have the same thing going for her!

Emilee's First Year

I can't believe Emilee is already one! She turned one on November 8th. It is such a blessing to have both of my kids but Emilee has such a special place in my heart. I don't know what it is (maybe b/c she is a girl) but there is something different about her. I just love her to pieces and I am so happy that I am able to be at home with her and have that special bond that I never got with Caleb. I thought I would put a few pictures on of her growing up over this past year!

Halloween 2007

I never got to put some pictures on of the kids from Halloween! They had so much fun. Gene's mom came down to our house for trick-or-treating and we loved having her here! Aren't they so cute?!

Our Little BooBoo

Emilee...I love having a little girl! It is so fun to dress her up and buy her cute little outfits and dresses! She is so sweet. She is the complete opposite of her brother. She smiles and loves jabbering to everyone she meets. She just sits back and takes whatever her brother dishes out. However, she is definitely curious. She loves to play in the toilet water, garbage, dirty laundry and anything else she can find! But when she smiles at me it is so hard to get mad at her!

Our Favorite Boy..Mr. Bee-ub

This is the last semi-decent picture that I have of Caleb. He is getting so big! He will be turning 4 in January...crazy how time flies! He is definitely a handful! He drives both of us nuts at times. He is Mr. Independent and does not like being told what to do (at least not by his mom and dad). He is a perfect little angel for his grandparents and nursery leader though! We love him so much!
