Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

30 Dec 2009 by Mom

The boys enjoyed their Christmas. We started around 8:00am, read the Christmas story, opened stockings, and then started on all the presents. Caleb really enjoyed opening all his gifts. Joshua got bored halfway through and had more fun looking at all the new things Caleb had gotten. After presents, we began making food for our Christmas lunch with the Lee Family. We hosted the get together at our home this year. The cousins had a great time playing together, and as Grandpa Lee would say, they were a bunch of “house apes.” I think Joshua was the only one who sat still long enough to eat his meal, and that’s because he was strapped into his chair. There was another round of opening presents, and then we were off to celebrate Christmas with the Johnson Family. We had a great day with family, and hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas! Now we are ready to ring in the New Year…I think. I can’t believe how fast 2009 went by. I don’t know if I’m ready for 2010 to go that quickly.

Enjoy a few pictures from our exciting December.

Happy Birthday!

Joshua really enjoyed his first birthday. He wants to thank everyone for coming and sharing his special day with him. Thanks for Christmas Caroling with us as well! He has enjoyed playing with his new toys…when Caleb lets him. Thanks again to everyone. Here are a few pictures and some video from his special day!

Catch Up

06 Dec 2009 by Mom

Merry Christmas!  Does anyone else feel like this year has flown by?   In a week, Joshua will be celebrating his first birthday.  I can’t believe it!  It feels like only yesterday when he was born.  We have a busy few weeks coming up.  I think that’s the same with everyone though.  Joshua’s birthday party is next Sunday.  We will be singing at the Boyd Wright Road Nativity next Saturday, and the boys will be wise men and shepards.   We will be serenading the kindergartners at North Elementary school the following week, and we are putting together a small Christmas Musical at our church on December 20th.  Should be fun!

We recently took a road trip to Springfield, MO to visit with old friends (and eat some Andy’s of course), and then to Oklahoma to see some family, and finally to Illinois to enjoy Thanksgiving.  Although we all ended up getting sick, we had a wonderful time seeing everyone.

Enjoy the pictures. I’ll post a few videos later. I’m having trouble uploading them to youtube. Check back for them soon.

We haven’t put any videos up in awhile.  The first two are of Caleb enjoying a ride at Tweetsie Railroad.  The last one is of both boys playing in our room…I figured I needed to get one up here with Joshua in it.  Enjoy!

Caleb didn’t want to get off the ride once it was finished.

Fun at Tweetsie

27 Oct 2009 by Mom

This past weekend we headed up to the mountains to look at some leaves and take the boys to Tweetsie Railroad. The leaves were gorgeous, and the boys had a lot of fun at Tweetsie. Caleb was able to ride almost all the rides. His favorite was the train ride of course, but he enjoyed all of them. Joshua was even able to enjoy a few rides. The temperature was 70 degrees when we arrived and 54 degrees when we left. Good thing we brought our coats with us. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

It’s a big choo-choo!

09 Oct 2009 by Mom

I’ve been meaning to change our blog template for a year now. Thank goodness it’s Autumn again.

On Sunday, we went to the NC Transportation Museum in Spencer to take a ride on Thomas the Train. Caleb was in Choo-choo heaven. He couldn’t wait to ride the train–too bad we had an hour to kill before we were able to board. Caleb couldn’t quite grasp that concept. He didn’t understand why he could see Thomas, and Mommy and Daddy said we were going to take a ride, but yet we were walking away from the train. He got over it quickly when he found a train table to play on.

Caleb enjoys a ride down the slide.

“It’s a BIG choo-choo!”

They had Thomas blocked off so you couldn’t get a picture in front of him unless you paid for them to take it. Ben walked with Caleb around to the other side of Thomas and got this one. Cheese!

Caleb could have played at this table for hours. Joshua was ready to go.

Could Caleb have posed any better for this picture?

All Aboard!

Waiting for the train ride to start. The anticipation is killing us!

Here are a few extra pictures.
Crazy Brothers!

The Beach

23 Sep 2009 by Mom

We are back from our trip to the beach. Everyone had a wonderful time, but we’re happy to be back home. Below are some pictures and a few highlights from the week.

Before we left for our trip we were asking Caleb what was at the beach (like water and sand and such) and he answered, “boobies.” Although he was correct, I don’t think he knew exactly what he was saying. I hope! We bought Caleb a kite to fly on the beach. He was having fun walking around with the string but accidentally let go of it. I was trying to chase it down so we wouldn’t lose it, but every time I reached out for it the wind would blow it further from me. I finally caught it, but I had many people starring and laughing at me. Thanks Caleb!
Caleb enjoyed playing in the sand and jumping the waves. Joshua enjoyed eating the sand and crawling in the water. In the evenings we would play in the lazy river and “hot”  as Caleb called the hot tub. Both Caleb and Joshua liked the hot tub. We visited the Children’s Museum in Myrtle Beach and on our way back home we stopped by the aquarium at Fort Fisher. We ended up having to take a Ferry to Fort Fisher. We were a little surprised when the next directions from the GPS were “Board Ferry.” Caleb really enjoyed it though.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.
