Teeth

Cal said to me today pointing at Cade "Look mommy, Cader's teeth look like Mater's teeth"

Day at the Lake

We love living so close to the lake! We haven't taken the boat out yet this summer but we have made many trips to the lake to play in the sand and water. When my dad and sister and her girls were here, we decided to have a little picnic at the lake and relax. Unfortunately, it didn't last as long as what we were hoping, it got a little too windy!

Cal's BirthdayParty!

Cal was so excited it was finally HIS Birthday! He wanted a Lightning McQueen birthday cake, we had a lot of fun! Grandpa, some of his cousins and Aunt Andrea were able to join us for his party!
We had A "cars theme " party. I made a road that went through our house out of butcher paper and some other fun decor. My sister Andrea and I were up til 12:30 the night before making all the signs! Thanks Anj! Here is everyone standing by the "Welcome to Radiator Springs sign" at the beginning of the road.
One of the first stops was "Ramon's House of Body Art" where we painted lighting bolts on every ones faces! Cal thought this was pretty cool!


The gang with their faces painted!

While the kids were outside playing with the lighting McQueen bubbles, Lighting McQueen pulled up and gave everybody a ride! ( I thought this turned out cute, I am not much of an artist or very creative but I thought I did a pretty good job! Plus the kids loved it!)

Opening presents!

Thanks everybody for the great gifts! Cal got pretty spoiled by everyone this year and loved it!!

Meet Egg

This is Egg. Cal's pet lizard.


A few weeks ago, some of our neighbors were out trying to catch a lizard and asked Adrian if he could catch it for them. About a week later they came and knocked on our door and asked if we wanted him, since Adrian was the one who caught him. Of course Cal thought it was the coolest thing EVER! He wanted to name him EGG. Cal absolutly loved Egg. Adrian and him built him a home in a box with dirt and rocks, gave him water to drink and food to eat. Cal would tell Egg goodnight for naps and bedtime, he blew him kisses, he was always wanting to touch egg and carry his box around. It was pretty cute how much Cal loved Egg.
We decided a week later it was probably best for Egg if he lived outside not in a box so he could see the rest of his family and have more room to play. Adrian let him go one night, and Cal stills tries to find him when we are outside. It was fun seeing Cal with a pet. Who knows maybe we will get a dog for the boys. (ok probably not!)

Easter Egg Hunt

We love a good Easter egg hunt!

Easter Sunday

My very handsome boys ready for church on Easter.


Ever since my boys stayed with their Aunt Kiki, Cal has wanted a tie, because she let him wear one her sons tie. We told Cal that maybe the Easter bunny would bring him one! I don't have any pictures of the boys and the Easter bunny, but we did go see him a few times at the mall. Cal of course loved him, Cade was still a little nervous, he did sit on his lap though.

Dying Easter Eggs

Dying Easter eggs is one of my favorite traditions. Cade didn't quite get it but he enjoyed watching and eating the eggs!
