Playtime

Yesterday afternoon was super warm and a little windy.  We decided to hit up the playground.  Callie Grace and Caleb had a lot of fun.  They ran, played on the swing, rock wall and slide.  We love these carefree afternoons.

As a side note, Caleb has always been a little love bug but he has recently become my shadow.  He always says that he wants me.  He showers me with kisses and hugs.  I don't know how long this is going to last but I love it!!

Miss Callie Grace has become a complete sass.  I am not loving this at all.  I hope we can work our way right through this stage sooner than later. 

Look at those pink cheeks!

Look at his pink cheeks!

Update

We enjoyed having Joshua spend Friday night with us.  I didn't get a single picture but I can tell you that the children had a great time.  I believe every toy that we have ever owned was spread out throughout the house.  Joshua lost his 3rd tooth while spending the night.  The tooth fairy knew the way to our house.  Callie Grace and Caleb were in complete awe!

On Saturday, we went to CG and Caleb's twin cousins skating party.  My duo have never skated but we gave it a try.  They both loved it!  Kip had a prior commitment that day.  Many thanks to mimi for helping me watch my babies at the party.

Happy Birthday Aly!

Happy Birthday Rion!

Once Kip got home on Saturday afternoon, we went to the park.  It was a beautiful day!

Callie Grace brought her monkey along!

The motorcycle lost its juice so daddy got a workout!


After church on Sunday, we had lunch at Miss Cindy's house.  We brought a birthday cake that my friend from work, Shannon made.  It tasted as good as it looks!

A few outside pictures while we were waiting to eat.  Kip practiced soccer with the kiddos.

Mrs. Cheyenne

Today is Callie Grace's assistant teacher, Mrs. Cheyenne's birthday.  We had a little party for her today.  The children had a lot of fun and I think Mrs. Cheyenne did also!

Two thumbs up!

To say last night was exhausting is the understatement of the year... but boy did we have fun!  Callie Grace and Caleb both had a blast.  It was even more fun because friends Luke and Ashlyn are on their teams.  Kip and I loved having Pat and Joy Lynn there as well.  Joy Lynn had their wagon in her car and it sure came in handy.  We had so much stuff to carry around!  Thank you for thinking of the wagon Joy Lynn!! :)

Without further ado, I present to you our soccer stars...

I think Callie Grace's # is 5 and Caleb's # is 6.  Fun times are ahead!

First Sport for Callie Grace and Caleb

Well, tonight is the first night of soccer practice.  I am a little nervous.  I think it may be really chaotic.  I hope I am wrong!  I will post some pictures of our inauguration tomorrow.  Callie Grace and Caleb can't wait.

My birthday

My birthday was on March 21st.  The children and I met my friend, Jamie and her children at the park that Saturday for a picnic.  Jamie brought party hats, whistle blowers, birthday plates, napkins and cupcakes to the park.  The children had a lot of fun and we did too.  Jamie is such a special friend to me.

Horrible picture of me but sweet of my babies

That evening, my sister had us over for tacos and playtime.  The tacos were delicious and we all had a lot of fun together!

These last two are randon pictures of the babies doing art at our table.  They were taken last week.

St. Patrick's Day

Both children had a special green snack at school to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!  Caleb's snack was on Wednesday (he goes to school MWF) and CG's was on Thursday.

Caleb's menu consisted of green jello, green mini cupcakes, green grapes and green drink.  They had green plates and napkins too.

I was on a call at work and was a few minutes late to Callie Grace's party.  Her teacher told me that CG was worried about me.  That just broke my heart.  I always feel so torn.  I never want to miss anything in my children's lives and my work is so great about working with me so I can try to be at all the big things at their school.  I try to remind myself that I am helping provide a roof over their heads and food in their tummies but boy is it hard!

Callie Grace's menu consisted of green grapes, green cupcakes, green jello, chips and dip and green drink.  I told Kip last night that we may need to consider having Callie Grace enter a convent.
