CALEB'S MEAN STREAK

Ok well Caleb did a mean thing today to his "sisters." I went to pick up Caleb and he went around to give the girls kisses before we left, like he ALWAYS does. Well, the little booger went and gave Reagan a kiss while Sharon and I were talking. The next thing I know Brady is upset. Evidentally she wanted a kiss from Caleb too, and he said "NO!" When Brady told Sharon and I what was wrong, I said Caleb get over there and kiss Brady too...that's mean and we are not mean to our friends! I had to laugh at how funny it sounded, my scolding my 3 year old for not kissing both of the girls. Well I'll be darn if that child doesn't look at me, walk right past Brady, and kiss Lucy (the dog) all while making sure Sharon and I saw he was still NOT kissing Brady!! Sharon and I looked at each other trying not to laugh, and were amazed at how jerky he was already acting! After I forced him to apologize to Brady for being mean to her, he gave her a kiss and we left. All was then well...but I was stunned my little turd of a son went and kissed Reagan and the dog, and refused to kiss Brady. Where the heck did that come from?? LOL

Also, Sharon said that she got out of her 15 second shower and said that Caleb and the girls had played dress up...and they were all decked out in the girls clothing. She took a pic of Caleb in the girls clothes. Here's the pic:




Finally, little Micah got tuckered out and passed out in his jumperoo mid cry. Sharon got a pic of that too and that is below.

UPDATE ON MICAH 6 MONTHS OLD

Micah is eating stage 2 babyfood now. He enjoys his big boy food, but still likes to cuddle and nurse with mommy. He will be crawling soon, as he is already on all fours and rocking. It won't be long before he is taking off after his big brother. Here's some pics I took of him trying to do just that!!!









My precious boy sleeping:

GROCERY SHOPPING WITH A 3 YEAR OLD THAT IS POTTY TRAINING!

Ok so...we were in the store last night getting groceries right? Well I was looking at something down the aisle with Micah in the stroller...Josh was up at the other end of the same aisle with Caleb in the shopping cart. And this is what I hear...

Caleb: Daddy, my pirates hurt. (pirates is what Caleb calls his privates, when he says this it means he has to pee)

Daddy: Caleb shhhhhhhhh (not realizing what he means)

Caleb: (at the top of his lungs) DADDY DO YOU WANT TO SEE MY PIRATES??!!

Daddy at this point turns bright red and glances around looking desperately for me.

Caleb: (insistent now) DADDY MY PIRATES HURT!!!!

Me: C'mon Caleb (I'd booked it down the aisle as quickly as I could to rescue Josh and interpret for my son)...let's go potty. I then take Caleb in the restroom where he promises to pee as long as I swear I won't flush the toilet (public potties scare him when they flush). I promised (knowing full well I was not going to leave pee in the toilet, but he had to go, so I lied) and then put him on the pot where he peed. And then I flushed the potty while he stands there screaming "NO NO NO MOMMY DON'T FLUSH THE POTTY!"

When we came back out I informed Josh that "My pirates hurt" means, he has to pee. Josh then declares, well why doesn't he just say he has to pee. I just give him a look while I'm thinking to myself, "because he's 3 genius!" However, I was good...I didn't say it!! LOL

We practically ran up to the cash register to check out, so we could escape the sideways glances coming our way. When we got to the register, my very verbal 3 year old decids all of a sudden to be shy and demure for the cashier and bagboy who are trying to play with him! I was just grateful he didn't start telling them about his "pirates!!!!!" LOL

GUESS WHO......

IS SITTING UP?????

MICAH'S BABY DEDICATION

Today was Micah's baby dedication at church. Nonnie and I went shopping yesterday, and bought him a dedication outfit. I actually picked this one out, and she paid. Josh of course HATED it. He told me this morning it looked like a dress (which it did not), but he was outnumbered, and it made for some cute pics. :-)






And this pic is big brother Caleb on his big day 3 years ago! LOL Oh how things change!! :-)

CALEB AND NAPTIME TODAY

Oh my goodness! I just got out of the shower, while Caleb was supposed to be napping and Micah is playing in his pack and play, I hear singing and carrying on over the baby monitor from Calebs room. So I go in there to tell him to hush and go to sleep right? Well here is what I see...Caleb over by his toybox in his Thomas underwear!!! Well, why is that so strange you ask? It is strange, because, I KNOW FULL WELL I put that child down for nap in a pullup so he won't wet the bed. I forget alot of things, but I KNEW that I had not put him to bed in underwear because he had a huge poopy accident last night and Josh had just changed the bed!! And this is how the subsequent coversation went:


Me: Caleb, where is your pull up?
Caleb: I took them off mommy.
Me: Why did you take them off Caleb.
Caleb: I pooped in them Mommy.

At this statement my eyes dart around the room looking for poop everywhere and a dirty pull up stuck to the ceiling or walls. Horrified I say...,

Me: Caleb, where did you put your pull up?
Caleb: (looks at me quite like I'm an idiot) In the trash can Mommy.

I go examine the trash can and the floor making sure there aren't poopy footprints on the carpet and there isn't. Sure enough in the trashcan is a poopy pullup folded neatly where poop can't escape. NO POOP ANYWHERE...of which I'm completely in shock.
I put him in another pullup and try to explain to him to call mommy if he poops and not to try to clean it himself, all while trying my best not to bust out laughing. His heiney was clean, and a little smudge in his undies but not much. He even had his underwear on right side out and not backwards. He is way too smart for his own good! LOL While I was mildly annoyed that he had attempted to clean up himself, I couldn't help but be proud of my big boy's success!!! He's becoming more independent...and mommy isn't quite sure how she feels about that yet! :-) Just thought I'd share...he's too cute for words!

A FEW MORE VIDEOS OF THE BOYS

102 DEGREE FUN

Well, it sure did get hot today, but we didn't let the heat beat us. We went to church, and then this afternoon after nap we "swam" in the kiddie pool. I tried to pick some pictures that didn't show too much "boobage" or "buttage" to put on the world wide web!! LOL












After we worked up an appetite, we came in and I made Frito Pie, and homemade vanilla ice cream. Micah had ice cold peaches! Been a great family day!



This isn't from today, but I'm gonna try to put a cell phone video on here and see what happens.

FIRST SERVICE IN OUR NEW CHURCH

It was amazing. There were people standing at the first service, there were NOT enough chairs. We ran out of parking, seats, food...it was totally awesome! I remember when there was just a handful of people when Chris started the church. Now we are running nearly 400! Today's baptism at the lake was also amazing. We had 20-25 people being baptized--the most ever at one time at our church! God is blessing like crazy. I am just in awe of what God has done in our church family. Caleb had a good time up until the baptism (He's dancing and singing in the 3rd pic with the worship leader--was sooo cute). He got bored really quickly and had to go play on the playground with Daddy. Here are some pics from the baptism (everyone in the water is getting baptized, except the lady with the camera):
