Sock Monkey

While in TN Uncle Chad gave Cale his first "sock monkey". He says that every kid needs a sock monkey. Needless to say, Cale loves it! And Daddy named it "Boo-Boo". I asked why? and he said because it is easy to say and he will be able to say it when he starts talking. What a sweet Daddy :)

Wordless Wednesday

Thanksgiving Trip

We survived our first long car trip with Cale! Let me just say....HE DID GREAT!!!! He was so good. He only got mad the last 30 minutes of the ride home. Our trip home was extended several hours due to traffic and several stops, but we finally made it home. Here are some pictures of our trip.

This is Cale in his bumbo seat. He is really trying to sit up on his own and this seat helps him. He was just hanging out in the living room and Aunt Heather and Uncle Chad's house (which is where we stayed).

These are from Thanksgiving Day. Of course we had him in his "Baby's First Thanksgiving" outfit from Aunt Heather and his "My First Thanksgiving" turkey hat from Aunt Valerie. He was so cute....but the hat didnt last too long :)

These are from another day just hanging around the house. He was laughing at Bryan who was running back and forth through the living room getting Cale to follow him with his head.

This is hour 8 or 9 in the car on the way home. I was trying to keep him entertained!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I want to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving! We will be packing up and heading out of town tomorrow for the beautiful scenery of Tennessee! I can't wait! I must say that packing for a 4 month old for a 6 day trip has not been the easiest thing I have ever done. Overwhelming - yes! This will be the longest trip (8 hours) that Cale has made. Be praying for us! I think he will do just fine, but you never really know with a little one. I will post once we return to let you know how he does....and I will have plenty of pics I am sure!

My hubby

So, most of you know that my husband is a high school football coach. That means that for 12 weeks during the fall I have no husband. He has practice everyday(not getting home until around 7), games on Friday, and coach's meetings on Saturday morning (yes, I said Saturday!). Needless to say, I have not known what to do with myself this week. Football is officially over and I have my husband back. I has been wonderful. I get to come home and have help with Cale!!! I think that the nicest part is that he is here to watch Cale while I cook dinner. Cooking and trying to entertain a 3 1/2 month old is no easy task. I like cooking, but I dreaded it before because it was so hard to do both. I have cooked a lot this past week. I even cooked tonight (I never cook on the weekends!). We even made a trip to Kingsland this afternoon. That never happened during football season. By the time Saturday afternoons arrived, Bryan was too tired to want to go and do anything. I am really glad it is over and Bryan is home more. I love when we get to spend time together as a family. And I am looking forward to much more of that!

Football is OVER!!!!

High school football is officially OVER!!!! I now have my husband back! Just thought I would share that :)

Sweet Boys

On Tuesday, since we had no school, we loaded up and head to town. Brody and Caleb (my nephews) both have birthdays coming up and I needed a baby shower gift. So where better to go than the new Babies R Us and Toys R Us combo store at the town center. Bryan was excited about going to Toys R Us because, as we all know, he is a big kid himself! It was nice that they are connected because Bryan was able to cruise through the toys while I gathered the things I needed.

Since we were in town, of course we had to meet up with Nana. She needed a Cale fix and some sweet sugar. She met us while we were still shopping. From there we decided to go to dinner. We tried Cantino Lareno (I think that is what it was called). It was "gourmet Mexican food". It was the type of Mexican I can handle. We both enjoyed it, but I think Bryan would have licked his plate if I would have let him. He ate every last bite. It was good, but I wouldn't have went that far :)

On the way home we decided to stop by Jason and Jenny's, which we almost always do anytime that we go to town. Don't know why we do, it just always happens. Brody was thrilled to see "Na" (Uncle Bryan) but could had cared less that "Tatah" and "Baby Tale" were there. In the midst of the visit, Cale ended up chilling in the recliner. That is when Brody thought he would go check things out. It didn't last long and Brody was not thrilled about the camera, but we were able to get a couple pictures of our two sweet boys!

Having Tuesday off definitely messed my week all up, but we had a great day together as a family!
