Everett Crawling

It is official Everett is crawling. He has been working really hard the last two days, but today he figured out the arms part too. He is pretty quick. This is good, but bad too. He is only 6 months old. He can't be crawling already. That means he'll being doing everything else early too. I can barely keep up with both of the boys right now. How will I do it with two mobile boys?

I Love Cael

Here is one of Cael's little quirks. It drives me crazy, but I love it too. He pulls out all of my Friends DVD's and lines them up to count the numbers. He LOVES numbers, so my Friends are perfect for counting. They are all in the correct order too. He was so proud of himself. I LOVE THIS BOY!!!

32 Years

Happy Anniversary Grammy and Grampy

Wow, 32 years.

We love you guys.

6 Months Old

Today we had Everett's 6 month check up. He had to get 4 shots and take 1 oral vaccine. He was a little champ. He was very sleepy, but still did good. His stats are 18.6 pounds (70%), 27 inches long (75%), and his head is also in the 75%. I figured he was in the 90% because he is wearing 9 months clothes, but he is still a big boy.

Here are some pictures I took of him after his appointment.















Do you see his purple band-aid? He has a matching one on his other leg.














Funny face for the camera.














Sitting up so everyone can see those massive legs.














I just thought that this picture was funny. Cael giving Everett a kiss and blocking his whole head.

Happy Birthday Gracie

Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday Dear Gracie
Happy Birthday to You















I love this picture of Gracie. I know that this is not a recent picture, but it is one of my favorites.

Disneyland Pictures

Here are some pictures from Disneyland yesterday. It was lots of fun. Cael had a wonderful time. He is starting to really enjoy the rides. Gracie and Lucy don't have the same thrill seeking gene, so they didn't like the roller coasters as much. I wish that everyone could have been there. It was so much fun. I love Disneyland, but it is even better when family is there.
















Here is Jill, Andee, Clair, and Summer in the teacups. Cael has a huge crush on Summer. He was caught kissing her twice.















Neil, Gracie, Lucy, and Cael are in the pink teacup.















Adam trying to make himself dizzy in the orange teacup.















This is my FAVORITE picture. Cael is looking right at me and smiling big. I think it is a good picture of the girls too.















This is how Everett was watching the parade. He was suppose to be sleeping, but we were sitting right in front of the speaker. It was a little too loud for napping.

I Need Advice

Does anyone know how to stop a biter? Cael is being so difficult when Everett cries. He HATES whenever Everett cries. I can't leave the room with both of the boys playing on the ground because if Everett starts fussing Cael will bite him. I just don't what to do. I have to put Everett in his crib whenever I need to go the the bathroom. Everett has to sit in his Bumbo when I'm cooking also. It is just really hard because he wants to be playing on the ground, but I can't trust Cael to leave him alone while no one is supervising. This morning Cael did it again. I was brushing my teeth and Cael decided to become a shark. I feel so overwhelmed by this.
HELP PLEASE? Any advice would be great.

For All You Dodger Fans Out There

If you are a Dodger fan, than this post is for you. Tutu and Papa got Cael this romper when he was a baby and now I find it fitting for Everett to wear it since the Dodger are in 1st place in the NL West. I decided to include pictures of Cael when he wore this outfit too. The romper fits them the same in these pictures. The only difference is that Cael is a few months older in his picture than Everett is.

Favorite Photo Friday

These are some pictures I took of the boys this morning. They are so cute, but I know that I'm biased.
















I know this picture is blurry, but look at that cute cheesy smile.

















I liked this close up of Everett. He wasn't wanting to give me a smile, but he is still so stinkin' adorable.

Kissing Frogs

If anyone is in need of frogs to be kissed to turn into princes, just let me know. I've got a couple of highly available ones right here.
















Sorry for the booger shot of Everett. This boy has more boogs than anyone I've ever known.
































Blurry, I know. But they look like they are wrestling.

Party Anyone?!?

Congrats Auntie Leisa on your new job. We know that you are going to a wonderful addition to the PARTY place.

Mammoth Weekend

Here are some pictures from Mammoth. We were playing at the park in town. This was the only time I pulled out the camera. I don't have any of Adam and Don fishing, but I'll try to post some later.
















Cael saw these rocks at the park and decided to go climb them. He did it all of his own, I was just trailing him making sure that he didn't fall.
















He was so proud of himself.
















Cael was counting down with me. He sure does love numbers. He can actually hold his fingers correctly when counting on them. It is so cute.
















Going down the big slide.
















Swinging on the big boy swing.

Everett Scooting

Here is Everett trying really hard to crawl. He is getting around pretty good for being only 5 months old. Crazy. Now I am having to keep up with two crazy boys.

Mammoth Weekend

We are off to Mammoth for the weekend. I will try to take lots of pictures.

Funny Sleeper

As everyone knows, Cael loves to cuddle. On Wed. he didn't want to go lay in bed to take his nap, he wanted to cuddle with me while I was rocking Everett to sleep. So he feel asleep sitting on the arm of the chair while leaning his head on my shoulder. Both of the boys fell asleep, but I had to get up to lay Everett down. I figured Cael would wake up. Nope. He just slid down the chair a little and fell back asleep. I was cracking up that this is how he wanted to sleep. Ouch.

5 Months Old

I can't believe that Everett is already 5 months old. Time has gone by so fast. He is starting to sit up. Mostly with the support of his hands helping hold him up, but it is a start. Things have been hard this last week because he has been a little snotty. He expects to being held all the time right now too. That make doing anything really hard for me. But he looks like he is almost over the sniffles, so it should be getting better soon. You can really see his crusty nose in the last picture. We love the newest member of the family and can't remember what is was like without him.

Happy Birthday Ry Ry

Happy Birthday to You.
Happy Birthday to You.
Happy Birthday dear Ryanne.
Happy Birthday to You.


I can't believe you are 11. I remember when you were born and it was not that long ago. I wish you a very Happy Birthday. I miss you tons girly.

God Saw He Was Getting Tired

Today was the viewing for Ralph. I was really sad to see his body lying there, but I know that he is in a better place. It just makes me so thankful for all of the time that I have been given with all of those that I love.
I love you guys.

Here is a cool poem that was passed out with his picture next to it.

God Saw He Was Getting Tired
God saw he was getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So he put His arms around him
And whispered, "Come with me."
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer,
And saw him fade away;
Although we loved him dearly
We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest;
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the Best!

You will be missed Papaw.

We Love You Papaw

Today Adam's Papaw passed away. We are going to miss him very much. He loved loved loved the boys. He always hugged, kissed, and pinched them. He was a very loving and welcoming guy. He would never greet us without hugs and kisses. I'm glad he was my papaw-in-law. But he never made me feel like I wasn't his own granddaughter.

















This is a picture from Christmas 2006. I wish that we could have gotten together one more time to take more pictures with him.

Ride 'Em Cowboy

Here is Everett on his new horsey. He does pretty good in there for 10-20 minutes. Cael really likes it too because it makes noises and plays music.















Everett is waving to everyone.














Showing off. "Look Mom no hands."














Chillin'.














It is like he knew that I was cutting his head off in this picture, so he leaned down more so I could get his whole face in there.
