Dance Baby Dance

Jessa has been in a little tap/ballet dance class for the last 3 months and in November they has their first dance recital. They did a little ballet routine and she was VERY cute even though she said she likes tap better.
Jessa and her great friend Reese


I only got a couple pictures of her up on stage because they were all turning out yellow with the lighting.

Best Birthday EVER!

Justin was having a great birthday party (And yes, that's my replica of Chads truck. I must of made a mistake somewhere along the way because my kids think that I can make whatever cake their little imaginations can dream up.)with 6 crazy buddies

when there was a knock at the door...who could that be.....of course it was Grandad, Grandma, and Aunt Riki who flew in from MT for one great weekend. My kids face were PRICELESS !!
Justin was one lucky boy. Not only did he get the great surprise of family but his Daddy also thought he was ready for his very first Gun. I don't know who is prouder of that little camo BB Gun...Justin or Chad
Grandad was more then willing to take Justin out the very next day for some shooting practice
Jessa just so badly wants to be part of EVERY single thing Justin does

Happy 6th Birthday Justin!

THIS IS BEST SAID BY....

Moto Moto from the Movie Madagascar "I like 'em BIG, I like 'em CHUNKY, I like 'em BIG, I like 'em PLUMPY"

I saw him standing there and just couldn't resist capturing his perfect cuteness.


I feel like I blinked and my 3rd baby had his 1st birthday! We had a little party for him and he did great.
Look at his face. It says it all: get me away from that crazy lady! He was sitting by me and I was being the crazy Mom shoving gifts at him so he crawled over to Marcie and sat on HER lap to open gifts. (We all love Reese and she LOVES Caleb!)
Yum Yum Yum
He couldn't wait to dig in

and IceCream too...Thanks Dad

Birthday kisses for Marcie
Oh ya, thats good stuff

WE LOVE YOU CALEB SO MUCH!!!!

And On The Field We Have.....

He Hits, He Runs, He Scores.....It's DiamondBacks MVP Justin
You gotta watch her She is Quick, She's Got Eyes Like an Eagle and She Never Misses a Call....It is Referee in a tutu Jessica
He is Round, He is Fast and He Loves to Get Thrown Around.....It's Catch Me If You Can Caleb (aka the ball)


HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2011!!!

Pumpkin Carving

Both kids went to the Pumpkin Patch with their Kindergarten/Joy School class and picked their perfect pumpkins. Carving was fun and they dug right in.

This is the first year that Justin has carved his pumpkin all on his own and he did a great job!
But he has ALWAYS had a problem digging all the slimy gunky guts out so I was surprised when he said "I want to get my seeds out" as he was running out of the kitchen and came back with these.....his yard gloves (clever I know) and he got the job done.

Caleb does what he always does....he ate. And he was cute doing it!

Caleb, Chubs, Chunk, Chunker

Caleb is GREAT! He is pretty much almost ALWAYS Happy. He thinks everything is funny: washing hands, putting/taking off shoes, putting on pants, baths, crawling away fast when we are trying to get him into the bath, drinking out of a straw, my dancing, his brother and sister. He is VERY ticklish. His WHOLE body starts moving whenever there is music on. He is into EVERYTHING at his level but also loves to pick up toys and put them in buckets, containers and drawers. He is an AMAZING eater and he eats A LOT. Like a whole banana and 2 pieces of toast a lot. He is a great sleeper...Thank You! He loves to give kisses and bites...Lucky Me.


Justin loves to give rides and Jessa and Caleb love to ride...works out perfect.

He pulls up onto everything but hasn't started "cruising" yet.


One of his MANY messes


When I found out I was pregnant with Caleb, I cried. I knew I would have #3 but wasn't quite ready for it. I was scared. I do the parenting thing by myself a lot (not to say that Chad doesn't help out a TON when he is home because he does. He just happens to be gone a lot too). All I could think was how am I going to do this. Caleb has taught me I CAN! I can do more then I thought I could. I can love more then I thought I could. I am capable of more then I thought I was. I LOVE this little boy! I love his smile, his laugh, his bright blue eyes, his chunky little thighs and chubby little hands. He is the BEST addition to our little family.
I LOVE YOU CALEB!!!

Crazy Hail Storm

It was a beautiful blue sky day then this little storm hit right as school was getting out (perfect timing). It was crazy and great and left just as fast as it arrived.
