Sweet Caleb

Caleb,

Listening to your sweet little voice just makes my heart smile. You came in today and asked if you could sing me my favorite song (you are my sunshine). This was a real treat because I always ask you to sing for me and you are usually not in the mood. You even let me record you and that never happens. You always get really shy when I get the video camera out.

I love your voice! The way you put pronounce your words, especially your j's! You tell Daddy and I "good gwob" all the time meaning "good job". Sometimes it is hard to keep a straight face because you think that you are so big and trying really hard to have big boy conversations while using what we call "Caleb-isms". I have been trying to keep track of them all but there are so many!

Here are just a few:

"in the morrow" for tomorrow

"alligator" for elevator

"say mia prayers" for say my prayers

and one of my favorites is "soaking hot" or "soaking hungry". You have heard us say "soaking wet" many times and now you put the word soaking before EVERYTHING! I just pray that you do not do this at school because a lot of times it does not come out that clear and they could easily misunderstand what you are saying for a not so nice word. :)

Thank you for making my day today by singing me my favorite song. I will cherish these videos forever!

I love you sweet boy!

God's love

I want to share this picture with everyone that I feel is so heart warming. I know I have looked at this picture a dozen times and last night it just stood out! I can not believe we have never noticed it before. The trees have made a heart over the boys! I honestly believe that this is God's love. He is watching over the boys. It just gives me the chills!

Where do I start?

I want to say how thankful I am for my family! I have the best husband in the world and so happy that we get to share this wonderful life together that God has given us. I thank God every day for the two miracles that he has blessed us with. They could not be more perfect!


As I am writing they are chasing each other around my chair and having so much fun. I love to hear them laugh! I hope they always enjoy each other like they do in this moment.


I just can not believe that Caleb is almost 4 years old! Where does the time go? And it seems to be going by even faster for Ace. Caleb is quite our little athlete. All he wants to do is play ball, it does not matter what kind of ball as long as it is a ball. He already watches Sports Center all the time! He will sit and study whatever game is on. It amazes me! He started playing on a soccer team (The Blue Dragon's) a couple of weeks ago and if you ask Jamie or I he is by far the best one on the team (when he will actually play). Unlike his little brother he is so shy. We are very proud of him getting out on the field and trying to overcome his fear.



Ace is total opposite of Caleb. He is not shy or afraid of anything. He will do whatever it takes to get your attention. He has started to repeat things that you say and tries really hard to do whatever his big brother is doing. He thinks he is as big as Caleb. His favorite words are Mama, DaDa, no and hot. He loves barking like a dog and meowing like a cat. He just moved up to the "big boy" class at mother's day out and he is sleeping on a mat and eating lunch at the table. I can't believe he is growing up so fast!


I hope you boys always know how much we love you and how proud we are of you both!

What a Great 5 Years
