Some Pictures

28 Aug 2009 by Mom

So I’ve posted new blog entries, but haven’t created a web album in awhile. Below you’ll find a few pictures from July and August. We’ve got a busy September coming up with a trip to see some friends next weekend and our long awaited trip to the beach the week after that. Let’s hope there aren’t any hurricanes or tropical storms that want to blow through during that time.

We took Joshua to another Eye Doctor last week. He felt that Joshua was too young to get an accurate measuring on his eyes, so although surgery is not ruled out, it is not something we will be rushing in to anytime soon. Please keep praying for him! Joshua did get a new eye prescription. The Doctor felt that his old prescription was still not right, and hopefully this new one will help straighten his eyes. We picked him out some new glasses, and are waiting for them to come in. They’re back ordered…of course.

Oh Happy Day!

09 Aug 2009 by Mom

We were so happy that one of the watermelons from our garden finally became ready to pick! Great Grandma Lee these pictures are for you! It was delicious! The watermelon was so big (wow, that sounds like the beginning of a joke) we had to share half of it with people at church!

A few Videos…

06 Aug 2009 by Mom

Just thought I would post a few videos. The first one is of Joshua laughing at his big brother. I can’t get enough of their sweet little laughs! I can’t wait to see how they play and interact with each other as they get older. The second video is what happens while playing a video game with Caleb.

Army Crawling

21 Jul 2009 by Mom

As we wait for Joshua to start crawling on his hands and knees, here is a video of how he prefers to get around.  He’s pretty fast when he sees something he wants…like Caleb’s juice, or Caleb’s legos, or anything that has to do with Caleb.

That’s What Faith Must Be

20 Jul 2009 by Mom

Okay, it’s only taken me 2 weeks to get a few pictures up from our July 4th weekend, but it was a really busy day.  I guess I’m still recovering.  Not really, but here is a rundown of our day.  We met up with Grammy, Papa, The Edwards, The Stones, and The Diaz Girls, as well as The Rowan Republicans, at the East Rowan YMCA  so we could catch a ride on the Trolley to ride in the Faith Parade.  Caleb loved it.  He thought it was a Choo-Choo.  He liked throwing candy and necklaces out the window to the crowds, but his favorite part was sneaking a few pieces of candy.  Ben walked beside the Trolley and blew up animal balloons.

After the parade, everyone came over for a 4th of July cookout.  Caleb loved playing with his cousins.  Joshua enjoyed it too.  After eating, we tried finding ways to pass the time until the Fireworks started- 10:30pm.  Ya, a little on the late side.  But some napped, some played wiffle ball, some walked, and then we all watched a movie.  We rode back to Faith for the Fireworks, and I think both boys enjoyed them.  The little town puts on a pretty good show.

Enjoy a few pictures and a short video of the Fireworks.

Hello Summer!

26 Jun 2009 by Mom

As usual, we’ve been pretty busy, but hasn’t everyone?  The month of June is almost over, and I can’t believe it.  Caleb is super full of energy from 7:00am till 9:30pm.  He loves talking about Choo-choo’s and Cars.  His new favorite thing is lightning bugs.  He and Ben go out at night to catch them, and he comes in with exciting stories to tell me of how he lets them crawl on his hand and arm.   Joshua is growing and growing.  He likes getting up on his hands and knees now, but usually just rolls all over the floor.  He loves playing with and watching Caleb.  They’re a riot at dinner, but he doesn’t like it when Caleb yells in his face and scares him,  that just makes him cry.  The boys had house guests last week.  Their Grandma and Great-Grandma came to visit after Aunt Becca’s graduation.  Great-Grandma stayed for a week.  Caleb loved playing ball and hide and seek with her.  Joshua enjoyed having her hold him and put on his glasses.

We set up Caleb’s little pool on the deck.  He enjoyed it last year, but he really loves it now.  You don’t want to mention pool around him because he starts undressing ready to go swim.

Here are a few pictures to start out the season.  There is also a video of Caleb racing his shadow.  I thought it was pretty funny.  I only wish I had started vrecording earlier.  He played probably 10 minutes with his shadow, and I caught the last few seconds…oh well!  Enjoy.

Elmo and Strawberries…

28 May 2009 by Mom

We took Caleb to see “Elmo Makes Music”  last Friday.  It was Caleb’s birthday present from Daddy.  He really enjoyed it.  He sat mesmerized the whole show.  He didn’t even move around during the 15 minute intermission.  He just waited patiently for Elmo to return to the stage.  I thought Joshua would fall asleep, but he also enjoyed the show.  He liked all the flashing lights.

The next morning Papa took the cousins strawberry picking.  Caleb loves strawberries!  He enjoyed filling up his container.

Thank You!

28 May 2009 by caleb

Turning 2 is a very busy thing, so forgive me that it has taken me this long to thank everyone. I’ve really been enjoying all my new toys. Thanks to everyone who sent me gift cards or money. I like picking toys out, but Mom has this crazy idea that I need clothes instead. When will she learn?! I asked Mom to take a picture of me enjoying all of my gifts so I could post them here. I think she got most of them. She hasn’t let me play with the sprinkler ball yet. She keeps saying, “let it warm up a little more.” So Cailyn, when Mom thinks it’s warm enough, you’ll have to come over and play with me.

Thank you Grammy and Papa for my video game and Tub Whistle. I really enjoy playing with them.

I really love playing with my choo-choos! Thank you Great Grandma and Grandpa Lee and Grandpa and Jane!

Mom really likes this outfit. Thank you Uncle Steve, Aunt Rachel, and all the Diaz Cousins!

I have lots of fun on this lion. I named it Aslan. I like to use it to climb on to other things. I even let Joshua get on it sometimes. Thanks Uncle Chucky, Aunt Amy, and all the Stone Cousins.

I have lots of fun running around the house trying to tag all the animals in this game. Thanks Aunt Emily, Uncle Steven, and Emma.

I like my puzzle and train that Uncle Matt, Aunt Hill, and David and Muzie got for me. I like putting the puzzle together and then dumping the pieces out again to let Mom pick up.

Mom thought that the enjoyment I got from this present was best shown in a short video rather than a picture. Here it is. Thanks to the Stogner’s for this book. I love it!

I can see clearly…

08 May 2009 by Mom


Yup, that’s Joshua. In his new glasses. I’m still trying to get used to them myself, but he seems to be doing well with them. We don’t have any crazy “breaking the glasses within an hour of having them” stories. He can’t pull them off of his head because there are cables that wrap around his ears, but he can pull them down to his mouth and suck on the nose pads.

Keep checking in. I’m sure these little crazies will give us plenty of Adventures With Glasses stories for you to enjoy.
