That's my Tu-Tu

Can you find what is wrong about these picture? I made some tu-tus for upcomting birthdays for some girls and Cayden loved twirling in them. He was so funny to watch. We don't get to see things like this around our house.

Bathing Beauxs

I thought my 2 little guys were so cute playing in the bath together. Not often do I get them in there together. Caleb always takes his way earlier then Cayden. He likes to be in bed by 7 ish and Cayden is still outside with his daddy.

POOR CALEB!!

Caleb has his 1st tooth

I tried uploading the video to this picture but blogspot wasn't working correctly this morning. Last week Caleb's first tooth broke through his bottom gum. I think the second one is coming along right beside it. I will keep trying to get the video posted but if it doesn't work it is on Facebook.

He is so funny these days. He is at the point of a little bit of separation anxiety. I love to see his face light up when he sees me walk in the door. At church this past week he was in his room and caught a glimpse of me at the door and he started fussing because he couldn't get to me. He is such a sweet baby.

New kitchen toy

Well, I call it my new kitchen toy. We have a small desk area in the kitchen that we have made into a new computer station. Let's see how clean it stays. We have an office right off the kitchen but it has been overtaken by my embroidery business. Our older laptop has one foot in the grave. Right after we moved in we had one line across the screen and we watched that line grow into 4 lines. It is a pretty rainbow on the desktop but it is not there for appearance. It is slowly telling us goodbye.


Aaron got the itch of looking at new computers. So within the last week we have bought a new all-in-one computer. It works well where it is. I was not in favor of the new computer because the other one still works but I didn't win that discussion. I really like it, though!

At last...the playset is complete

As many of you know projects around our house never seem to stop. Since we moved in a little over a month ago the playset has been sitting in the backyard in pieces. Our backyard slops off where unlevel ground was causing a problem with putting the playset together. Aaron looked behind our fence and noticed that our property line still continued about 8 ft. behind our fence. So you can imagine that Aaron needed his next project to be moving the fence back to the line. It was a smart move because it allowed the playset to be built on somewhat level ground. One weekend my dad came over and helped move the fence back and the following weekend he came back and helped put together the playset. Thank you, Daddy!!

The fence is now backed up 8ft. and Cayden now has his "treehouse" as he calls it. We have a fabulous backyard that backs up to woods and we have a great shaded backyard in the afternoons when it is soooo hot. Our neighbors in Addis called the playset a deer stand because it is so tall. It doesn't look that tall here in MS because the trees help camoflauge it.

Boys will be boys

Here we are at 8 months now and Caleb is sitting up fairly well. He will sit in the floor and play with Cayden for 15 min. or so and then either he will fall to one side or get irritated. He has also for some reason started rolling over onto his stomach in his bed but he hates it when he is there. So he proceeds to scream and break a huge sweat until he gets back over. Mind you he is not going back to his stomach on his own I have to do that. I think he is taking advantage of his cuteness to get his way. He is a super sweet baby completely the opposite of what Cayden was like when he was little. He still does not have any teeth but he puts EVERYTHING in his mouth. His naps and night time sleeping are very speratic. It is about to kill me. I am so exhausted and I never get to rest it seems like. When one is up the other is down and vise versa. I hope within this month he can get a little more mobile and figure out his sleeping schedule.

Oh usual Cayden. He is in the sand table when he is supposed to be standing outside of it. We desperately need to take a trip where he can get down and dirty in the sand. He makes such a mess on the patio but it call all be swept off. We go through at least 3 sets of clothes a day with him. I never get caught up with laundary. Aaron is dilligently trying to get his playset put together up here but the hill in our back yard is posing a problem. That is what is in the background beside the fence. Cayden on the other hand is our big sleeper (at naptime) and I thought I would NEVER say that. He used to only get in the max 1.5 hours where now he can take a 3.5 hour nap. Most of the time Caleb wakes him up. Cayden will come out of his room and say "Caleb wake me up." It is so cute but usually he will be whinny after that.

It is has been so much fun being the mom of 2 precious boys. I don't know what I would do if I had it any other way.

Then and Now

Just the other day Cayden climbed into Aaron's lap to finish his nap and I got a flash back of what size he was a little over 2 years ago. My how time has flown. I have been noticing lately how tall Cayden is getting but this just reassured me that he is not our little baby anymore. This rarely happens so when I saw them I knew I had to capture the moment. That was our Cayden when he was a week old and this is our Cayden now at 2.
