backyard pool time

Caleb still loves to splash...

Sissy, after going down the slide on her back!

Girlfriend, you are fearless!

Of course, Caleb decided that the grass was waaaay more interesting than the water; Hannah Grace was very bothered by this and wanted to put him back in his pool.  Big sis- you are great at keeping Bubba in line!

 

Horrible Blogger...

Well, as the title implies, I have not been very good at keeping up lately.... here are a few things we've been doing the past few weeks: trip to No. Little Rock just to spend a few days visiting... trip to Branson with MeMaw and PePaw... Mom had a loooooong workshop... Caleb has had the stomach bug!  As you can see, time flies when you're having fun (especially the last part)!  Caleb did debut a new skill this evening... Nana stayed home with him tonight since Mom and Dad had duties at church, and when she went into his room he was standing (wobbily) in his crib!  Yea, sweet boy!

Memory Verse, Hannah Version

Well, we've begun working on some Bible verses... I thought we'd better start w/ Eph. 6:1... "Children, obey your parents, for this is right".  Hannah can say the whole thing, but then she decided that it should go like this: "Children, obey your parents.... good job!"  She does the last part along with a funny arm hook thing... kind of like what a pirate would do with the whole "aaaaaargh, matey" thing.  I told James this must be a new translation we haven't heard of!

Also, while we're at it, Caleb is really close to crawling- doing everything but!  He's great at going backwards by pushing with his arms locked... I'm in no rush. :)

Awwww...

Mrs. Amy captured this moment at the S'dale Aquatic Center a few weeks ago... I'm so thankful she did!

funny Hannah moments...

I was working on cooking dinner one evening, and I looked outside the back window... Hannah was figuring out how to climb up into Caleb's baby swing.  I sent Dad out to capture the moment!

What she looked like one morning when I went in to check on her... why sleep on a comfy bed when you can do this?

Hannah participated (using the term loosely) in her first Bible school closing program last Friday.  During one of the songs, she spotted Caleb.  She began bending over and saying "Hi Caleb... Caaaaaleb", etc.  What a great big sis!

swimming fun

We have started our pool adventures this summer!  Hannah Grace loves the water... always has. Caleb likes it, but only if the temperature suits him.  He splashed around a little bit the first time we put him in the big pool.  That happened last Thursday... thanks, Mr. Kevin!

Of course, this is Caleb's idea of a good time at the pool, too...

Daddy is obsessed with making Bubba's hair into a mohawk... so here ya' go, Dad.

Here's what you get when Hannah does NOT want to smile for another picture... pitiful, isn't it?

Visit to NLR

We went to NLR last weekend for Father's Day, and so that I could go to a shower for James' cousin and his fiance.  We had a good time... Uncle Chad brought his new puppy down, and he enjoyed Caleb's exersaucer!

Here's Hannah seriously contemplating something on the back deck... she had so much fine playing with the water table on MeMaw and PePaw's back deck and going down the slip-n-slide. She is an outdoors-girl!

I just couldn't pass up the chance to post this one... everyone says he's a momma's boy, but I just don't understand...
