A little taste of Spring...

Lately, we've been doing A LOT of this...But, Saturday was beautiful and we actually got to enjoy some of this...

I get by with a little help from my friends...OR, my "bossy" big sister!

My "baby" girl












I walk softly and carry a big stick...Actually, I DON'T walk softly at all!





Daddy, Cale and a little wind!


She is NOT camera shy...can you tell????
Getting a bit tired...


Loving on each other (cause I told them too!)








My happy boy!!

Chaos Cale!!!

Matt calls him "Chaos" for short. He says if you spend a couple minutes with him you'll know why! Here are a few reasons of mine...


Painting our face with Ella's lip gloss!


We built sand castles with the soot in the fire place!


There are two "No, No's" here: 1. Being the obvious climbing on the counter. Yes, this is how we ended up in the ER three months ago...clearly, we didn't learn anything. 2. Playing with daddy's work phone. Yes, clients and co-workers have been "cale dialed." SORRY!! AGAIN, climbing on the bar stool. And, Pepsi after 8 0'clock is NOT a good idea!!

We like to move stools, seats, etc. and stand on them so we can reach buttons and things we are NOT supposed to touch!



If this hair doesn't say trouble, I don't know what does!!


Then, we have moments such as this of sheer cuteness and innocence...and ALL is forgiven!

I once heard someone say the definition of a boy is, "noise with a little bit of dirt on it." In 18 months, I am finding that statement to be very true. You can always find him by following the clanking, banging, hammering and of course, grunting. Dirt seems to attract to him like a magnet and I'm not lying when I say we have a busted lip on a daily basis. Cale keeps me on my toes! I don't have time to blog, I barely have time to sit. I used to read with Ella. The only thing Cale really likes to do with books is dump them out. The ONLY time he's still is when he's sleeping! I used to put Ella to bed and get back up. That was when Matt and I could spend some time together or watch a "people show." When Cale goes to bed, I'm WIPED. Bedtime for Cale usually means bedtime for momma. The differences in boys and girls is immeasurable. But, he IS the sweetest thing ever and when he loves on me it melts my heart and he loves on me A LOT!!
