Caleb fun again...

Yes I know that I just posted a few funny things about Caleb but I had to post one more! I was fast asleep this morning and my little Caleb boy ran into our room, and started patting me on the shoulder, "mom, mommy, wake up peasssss.............MOMMY!" I rolled over and looked at Caleb, and said, " Caleb, sweetie what do you need, Mom is tired, why don't you lay down for a little bit longer?" Caleb replied, "MOMMY YOU NEED TO GET UP, I need a haircut, right now!!" I smiled big and said " Why don't we do it a little bit later?" Caleb said " NO, Peasss I really need a haircut!" He looked at me with his big blue eyes and again said "PEASSSSSSSSS!!" He has me wrapped around his little finger! So I got out of bed, got my smock on, then we went down to the salon, and gave Caleb a haircut. When we were done he was so proud, he looked in the mirror and said "I look good, thanks mommy! I just smiled, he is so cute!!!

Thankful Sunday..

Doesn't he look so proud of himself?

Today has been full of many emotions.

I"m thankful for Young Women's, I learn so much from the girls, they never cease to amaze me they are all so smart, and you can see how much they want to learn and do good in their lives!! I just hope and pray that I will be able to teach them as much as they teach me.

I'm thankful for two boys who know how to make their mom laugh! Caleb kept me laughing all day long, it was one thing after another, I went into my room for a brief moment, Caleb was in the front room playing with the blocks, I heard what sounded like Caleb calling for help. I listen again and heard, "Help Me Mommy!!" I ran in the the front room, I couldn't see him, I turned to go into the kitchen and there to my surprise was Caleb in the fridge, I just started to laugh, he had gotten a stool and climbed up into the fridge to get himself a piece of lunch meat, he looked at me with his big blue eyes and said "umm good mommy, help me down!" So I hurried and got my camera and snapped a pic. I'd like to say that this was the only thing to happen today, but it continues, after I got him out of the fridge, I tried to explain to him (the best I could to a two year old) that he shouldn't be climbing into the fridge, I knew that it was probably pointless, but I had try. I again went into my room to do something, and was gone only a minute or two, and I hear what sounded like water pouring onto the ground, so again I run into the front room, and there Caleb stands with the vanilla creamer (which I had just bought the night before for peaches and cream) in one hand and all around his lips were white. He again looks at me and with those big blues eyes he just smiles and says "yummy mommy!" He must of thought that it was milk, and I guess he decided to help himself, he drank most of it and dumped a little on the carpet, I wasn't sure if I would laugh or cry, so I decided to laugh. I took the container away and cleaned the mess up, again I tried to explain to him that he shouldn't be in the fridge, "ask mommy if you want something," he looks at me and nods and say "okay mom" Well three hours have gone by with out any thing to funny happening, until about two minutes ago, Caleb is sitting down watching me type, he starts saying "color yeahhh" I turn around and he has a black permanent marker, and he has colored all over his face, oh boy!! I guess he will have to let this one wear off, he kind of looks like he has war paint on his face. I think that I have forgotten how much fun toddlers are, it has only been seven years since Nathaniel was Caleb's age. I am beginning to think that everyday is going to be as eventful and today. Smiles and laughter will get me through it, I hope!!

Nathaniel's First day of Fourth Grade..

On Monday Nathaniel started Fourth grade, I can't believe that

he is in fourth grade that is crazy! It just seems like yesterday he was in

kindergarten. He was so excited to go back to school,

this year we are in a new school, our boundaries changed

this is only the second year of the school, it is so nice to

walk into a building where everything is clean and

functional. I think that Nathaniel will like the school, his

teacher seems very nice!

Painting

The past couple of days I have been painting the boys room, it turned out great. We are getting new carpet soon, so before we get the carpet we had to paint. The room is still a bit bare but it is getting better, carpet and some more decor it will be awesome. I'm proud of myself, can you tell.. I got a great deal on the comforter sets, normally 60 dollars, I got them for 12.99, the curtains

were the same, 55.00 normally, I paid 12.00.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

Say Cheese... Happy Birthday!

Today is a special day, it is Darlene Pratt's birthday. Mom, James the kids and I love you so much, you are an amazing women, hope that your day is filled with excitment!!!

Thankful Sunday...

Sorry Chantel I am going to use you idea of the "Thankful Sunday.? I've been thinking a lot about life and the things that are important, so here is a small list of the things that I am so Thankful for.....

1. For my loving family, a husband that is always putting up with me and my silly ideas, not to mention my O.C.D tendencies, he is always there for me, he helps remind me that I need to smile and laugh more, he knows just what I need! Thanks I love you!!! For my two boys; Nathaniel helps me out so much, he is growing up so fast I can't believe that he is going to be in fourth grade. He loves his little brother Caleb and they have so much fun playing together, Thanks Nathaniel for being my big helper, you have a sweet spirit and you try so hard at everything you do!!! Caleb is just over two years old, time is going way to fast I am not ready to see my little baby grow up, but it is happening he isn't a baby he is a toddler, it is funny when Nathaniel was Caleb's age he didn't want anything to do with a toilet, it seemed I had to push him to use the toilet! Caleb is already wanting to use the toilet, the past couple weeks he has been taking his diaper off and running to the toilet to go potty, you would think that the toilet would be a bit big for a two year old, but not Caleb he climbs up and does his thing. Amazing to think he may be done with diapers before to long ! He is a love, he is always up to something, he loves to sing, dance, read, play the piano, and draw. Both my boys teach me so much and I love them sooooo much!

2. I am thankful for summer to come and thankful to see it go, school starts tomorrow and I look forward to another year of school and learning. Nathaniel can't wait to go to school tomorrow, he already has his things ready for the morning. He informed me that he wants to ride the bus to school, he doesn't need me to take him on the first day, he knows where he is going because we went and toured the school and found his class and his teacher. I will admit that it made me a bit sad. It will be fun for him to ride the bus. Bus Ride, New School, New faces, it will be an exciting day!

3. While Nathaniel is in school I will have some time to start painting the house and fixing things that need fixing, this summer has been crazy and I haven't had time to do much improvments around the house. Nathaniel and Caleb's room is the first project, new carpet and new paint. Wish me luck, hopefully Caleb will have fun helping me!

4. I'm thankful for the gospel in my life and being able to go to church each week, it is nice to feel the spirit, and to learn. I love serving in the Young Womens, they teach me so much.

5. I'm thankful for my life and all that I have!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!!!!

Today is my older brother Ryan's birthday, boy you are getting old!!!! J/K

Hope that you have an awesome day, we love you! Be safe on your trip...
