And The Award Goes To...

Layne and I won Parents of the Year Award this weekend...we went camping out by Simpson Springs which was beautiful and so much fun. We were sitting by DeAnne & Casey's trailer talking when Cael walked over to play in the dirt, he had been such a good boy (He Loves Camping!) When all of a sudden someone said, Cael's in the fire pit! We had started a fire that morning but by lunch it had died but the coals were still hot. Cael had gone in after one of his little rakes because it fell in the pit - when he picked up the rake he picked up some coals, and then he fell to his knees. I was seriously sick - I hate fires anyways and we were sitting right there! He wouldn't let us take pictures of it or even look at it but finally the next day he let his Uncle Casey take some...he loves him! Anyways it is a huge blister on his palm and that is it...we are so lucky he didn't get burned anywhere else. He is so tough too, he hasn't even complained about it. All he says is when you say show me your hand - hot mom, it's hot mom.

So here are some pictures of our eventful weekend!! Other than that camping was great!



Cael & Brylee...they played on the 4-wheelers all day long!


Cael has one of these trucks at home & never plays with it but he wanted this one because it was Caleb's...kids never like their own toys!

Our Fun Day

Layne took some time off so we could have Spring Break together so yesterday we went and hit baseball's with my nephew Morgan and Cael wanted to be right in the action it was so fun...the kid can hold a bat both ways and he swings like Babe Ruth, I know I'm bias but I think he's cute :)We had a blast yesterday, I love it when we are all home & get to play!

Happy Birthday Chopper!

My little man turned 2 yesterday! I can't believe it's been two years already...he has gotten so big! If you ask him he's 4 but we had a blast celebrating his birthday. On Sunday he got to celebrate with his cousin Will they are 3 days apart and they were so cute. Will gave Cael a tractor and he hasn't stopped playing with it for two days! Then last night we had Layne's family over to celebrate it was so great to have everyone there, Cael got too many toys & was totally spoiled! But I guess that's the perks of being our only child!! Layne & I seriously love this stinkin' kid to death, he is so much fun and I can't imagine our life without him - we were so boring!! Happy Birthday Chopper!

Coloring Easter Eggs!


Giving Will a High 5




Grandma Jeri & Grandpa Dean got him a basketball hoop - we have to shoot hoops every day...I dunk it mom, he says it over and over again!

And Layne & I bought Cael a 4-Wheeler -

I love this picture...his face is priceless! He loves his new Bike!

Spring Was Here...

Cael has loved it being warm outside - until it snowed, we had been going out every day and he was all over the place. I bought a wagon to go in our yard and he loves to sit on it and drive the horses...every night we have to say prayers and watch Lonesome Dove before we go to bed and he thinks he's Gus in the wagon it's so stinkin' cute.


Layne & Cael have spending a lot of time together since I'm at work so they went to IFA and Cael saw the baby chicks and told his dad , "Chicks home dad"...so the Chick's came home! We have 4 baby chicks in our garage and Cael has to check on them every 5 minutes, it's been really cute to see him take care of his chickens! These pictures are bad ---my flash broke but I'll put some better ones up later!

Big Fish Lies

Layne has been ice fishing three times in the last week and every time he comes home he has caught so many fish and had so much fun...so we went on a date Friday night to Deer Creek fishing, and he lies! We didn't even get a bite! But it was still fun to be in the ice shack with him and just hang out for the night!


This is a fish from one of his earlier trips!

Well it's official, I am starting a new job February 1! There was an English opening at Pleasant Grove High School that I thought, I'll go interview for it and practice so then when I want to go back for next year I'll kind of be ready....well they offered me the job! Which I am so excited for but kind of sad too, I love teaching preschool & I love the kids but I need to go back to work full time too. So I am teaching 10th & 11th grade English and I went yesterday to meet with the English Department and see my classroom....oh I have a lot to do to get ready in one week! So while I was gone Layne & Cael took naps & then babysat each other...and when I got home these were the pictures I got to see! I don't know if me going to work full time is a good idea but Cael is going to love spending more time with his dad because he gets to do whatever he wants!! Like eat out of the Peanut Butter Jar! I love my two boys!

ScrapBook

I decided that since Layne has been working swings that I would work on Cael's scrapbook....so I went to where I left off....That was at his 1st birthday! I haven't even done his first birthday & he is going to be 2 in March!! I'm so crappy, I don't know what I have been doing but now I really have a lot to do and all I've done is the first page of his birthday party....I may be a year behind for a long time....oh well, it's kind of fun to see how much he's changed.

Cael's Birthday - & Christmas Morning this year!
