We had a pretty low key Father's Day here at our house. We enjoyed hanging out are our house as a family. Here is Don with our two sweet little ones. Time on Daddy's lap is coveted around here! Callie loves sitting with her Daddy and when Callie is there, that's where DJ wants to be also. So we 'take turns'! :) We are so greatful for Don who works hard for us! He is the BEST Daddy ever! WE LOVE YOU! Happy Father's Day!

Callie's Blessing

What a great weekend with family! We missed many of you that couldn't be there... but we were so lucky to have some of you share this time with us! Callie wore the SAME dress that I wore when I was blessed 37 years ago! My sisters also wore this dress and so did my niece Allie Grace!

Summer Fun!

Over here in HOT Texas summer... we do a LOT of things that have to do with water! Swimming, go to the water slide park, slip n sliding, sprinkler parks and more of all of the above all over again. :)
The picture of DJ looking out the window was after playing in the blow up pool... he had so much fun that he stood there looking out at it... he was sad to come inside, but it was getting dark out there and I was getting eaten alive by mosquitoes!
DJ is talking so much these days, we still can't understand a few things he says, which just might be baby talk when he doesn't want to communicate, but for the most part he does pretty good and it makes me laugh when he says certain things... like asking me what time is it (making sure that it's not "nap-TIME"! teehee) If I say, time to eat lunch or time to go to the store, he keeps asking me over and over again until I tell him THE TIME... so fine, knowing that he doesn't know what time means... I tell him anyway and he repeats me, "twelve-thirty" or "one o' clock" then he FINALLY stops asking me what time it is... FUNNY KID! It's neat to see his little brain in action, he does a really good job at copying exact enunciations and pronunciations... he keeps me on my toes!

Here are a few more pictures of Callie and DJ... they are growing so fast!! Callie enjoys tummy time, unlike DJ when he was her age. (her head takes a lot less effort to lift up!) ;) Callie LOVES DJ so much... she's a sensitive and jumpy little girl, loud things (like the old man sneezing in church) scare her, make her lower lip stick out super far, quiver and then she cries... but no matter how loud DJ is, he makes her smile! When he runs from one end of the room to the other singing Toy Story's "You got a friend in me" at the top of his lungs, Callie follows DJ back and forth... he always can make her smile... it's the sweetest thing to watch. DJ loves Callie back... is always trying to give her hugs and kisses. Lately, he's been wanting to pick her up and hold her... and even though he's wearing size 4T clothes at the age of TWO (for two more weeks) he's still too small to pick Callie up. :) Oh it is so much fun to be the mommy of these two! I love them so much to pieces! :)

Hangin' Out

Most everyone says that Callie looks just like DJ, just petite... well, one day I turn around to see that DJ had put on Callie's bow... before busting out laughing so hard, I had to get a picture! ...so in case you were wondering, this is what Callie will look like in 2.5 years!
LOVE this one of the two of them together. :)

Fun Stuff...

DJ at 10 weeks, then Callie at 10 weeks! Do they look like they are related or what!!??
...then a few more shots of Callie smiling... she is a happy baby! She wakes up smiling every morning... even before eating! Here she is in the swing... she is not a huge fan of the swing, but was sort of enjoying it this time!
Last, BATH TIME for my two babies!

Eight Weeks Old and Walking!

To the POOL!

We were the only people at the pool today, probably because the water is still cold or maybe because it is a Friday and school hasn't gotten out yet! ...or maybe because we are having thunderstorm and tornado warnings!!?? Well, we were hot and wanted to go, so we did. As long as there is no lightening we are fine! DJ LOVED swimming for his first time this year! He didn't care about the cold water! Callie slept in her car seat for most of the time... then screamed when I put her toes in... oh she better like the water!! :) Can't wait for it to warm up! :)
