Take a Time out for fun

Well, yesterday should have gone like this (according to my type A brain): get up, go for a run, go to church, go to lunch with friends, come home, put Cale down for a nap, wash windows and clean the garage while JP finishes the fence work, get Cale up, go to community group, go to dinner, come home and work for a couple of hours (to prep for a meeting on Monday), go to bed.
Sometimes the free spirit of JP and Cale actually do get through to me. Here is how yesterday actually went: roll out of bed around 8:30, no shower, grab breakfast at McDonald's on the way to the DART station, catch the DART train down to the Dallas Zoo, have a blast with Cale and JP at the Zoo for a couple of hours, ride the train home, all 3 of us go down for a nap, Cale wakes us up, we are late to community group, community group decides there are only 5 of us so we go to dinner instead, come home, get some work done, go to bed.
It was all worth it. Cale had such a great time riding the train and going to the Zoo, we all did. I will post some pictures from our adventure when I get time in my schedule to upload them!!! :)
Enjoy the time we have, the other stuff will always be there tomorrow.

Cale's Story for Grandma

New Class Today1

Cale started a new class today at school, the upper 2's and 3's class, called the Skeeters. He has been talking a lot about being a skeeter (moving up from the crickets class). He has many friends that have already moved up, he was looking forward to joining them. This morning when I dropped him off, he was a bit apprehensive to go into the room (the bigger kids get to go into a separate room at drop off time, different than the 'big room' where he has been dropped off for the last year). He did not want to leave me, but then we started seeing his friends, Harlow, Blake, Will... We walked into the room, he still did not want me to leave. Harlow then came over gave Cale a big hug and a kiss, grabbed his hand and took him over to play. It was so cute I almost melted.

Take a Guess

Cute little man!

A couple of weeks ago we went to the lake with some friends Cale had the greatest time swimming in the Lake! We also had a great time hanging out with our closest friends, it was nice to get away for the weekend. He is looking more and more like a little kid, no more baby boy.


He is talking up a storm. I love it, he can tell us all about his day at daycare and what he wants to do. We have him in swimming lessons now at the gym by our work two nights a week. He has a lot of fun and then doesn't want to get out! My little fishy, maybe a triathlete some day!

Been too long...

Well much has happened in our lives since my last post. I have been a little tired and sick and therefore not really motivated to sit down and write. It has been taking me all the energy I have had just to work and keep up with very minimal functioning at home. Why you ask? We are pregnant! I am due on March the 3rd. This time around it has been much different than it was with Cale, I was ill the first 13 weeks, nauseous from about 10 am until I went to bed. I am feeling better now and looking forward to getting through the rest of this pregnancy!

We have had many fun times as well in the past month or so, here are some of our memorable moments...

Buster and Pepper are still the same (although this is not Buster's best angle!)

Cale and JP love the trampoline

Chris welcomed his son Jaxon to the world, Cale loves his cousin!

Uncle Chris still let's Cale do anything he wants

Proud Daddy

We were all proud of Cale for diving into a cupcake at Quade's birthday, this is a milestone for our 'clean freak' of a two year old :)

Cale at Bree's birthday party, thanks Bree for my soccer bear Jaxon (named after my cousin)

Maybe this will be the start of me keeping up with this again, at least until March :)

Hint: looks like we will be one closer to a boys soccer team come March...

Recovery

Well the AC guys are here this morning and the nights have been cool so this actually has not been a big deal at all. JP is recovering well and seems to be better today than yesterday. We got my car last night, I absolutly love it (I am so spoiled!). I had taken today off work so I am just hanging out making sure the AC guys don't fall out of the attic. Now we get to prep for a trip to Iowa :) At least we will have a new car to play with.
