Caleb's Halloween Costume and Mother's Day Out

Okay, so Caleb absolutely loved the chicken outfit in Target. He would not let us take it off of him. We had to check out with the costume on. The guy had to scan Caleb's head with the hand scanner. He was so excited and he kept saying "Bak Bak Bak" like what chickens do. So hilarious! The last picture is him in chapel clapping his hands to "Jesus, You're my Superhero" from Hillsong. He loves his music just like his daddy and mommy.

We've been trying since 10-24-07

Yes, we have been trying to potty on the toilet for about a week now. He hasn't gone in it yet but he LOVES to sit on it and put toilet paper in there. He sees mommy do that so I guess he thinks he is just suppose to sit there and do that. It is sooooo cute. We are going to just keep trying. I know he will eventually catch on. Anyways, just wanted to share some pics of our experience with y'all.

Truly Beautifully Blessed

Kelly, Kristie, Alicia

Nina and Alicia

What a weekend! I am so blessed to be at this church. We had a woman's retreat at the T Bar M Ranch in New Braunfuls. It was great. Our speaker's name was Rita Morrow. She was amazing. I can't help but count the blessings that God has given me. The ladies at this church have taken me in like I have always been here. I feel like I have known everyone for so long and it has only been a couple of months. Kristie Ackerman has been an amazing friend since the beginning. Josh new their family before I did. He grew up knowing Edgar Ackerman. He kept telling me about this awesome family before we got here and I just said "Okay". But now I can see why he was telling me about them. They have taken us in like family. I just feel truly blessed to have such great people surrounding me always uplifting me. It makes a world of difference. It is amazing what happens when you let God really control your life and place it all in His hands having COMPLETE faith in Him. It was very hard to just up and leave a house that we had just had built for our "first" home together. But I gave it to God, and He has done nothing but pour out blessings upon me and my family's life since we decided to let Him do what He wants to do for us. I realized that "Home" is not just a house, it is where you make it and that is in your heart. God, I thank you for being such an awesome father. You have given us shelter and a safe place. You have shown me Your face. I have faith in what You have in store for my life. I know You have Your hand wrapped around me. I thank You for making me who I am today. I know that when I get discouraged You are there for me. I will trust in You. Only You!

We went to see the Duckies!!!

Family Picture

Momma and Bub throwing bread to the ducks and turtles

The ducks that wouldn't come see us. I think they were full. There are always tons of people at the river feeding the ducks.

Caleb getting ready to frow his piece of bread. Every time he would get ready to throw it he would say "Frow, Frow, Frow, Frow" and then we would have to say "Okay, bub throw it".

Daddy and his little man. The two of them are twins. It is scary to look over sometimes and just see how much they look alike. He loves his daddy!

All in all, we had a great day. I love being able to just relax and have good ol' family time together.

Cute Cousins

I found these cute pics of Caleb and Lexi on Melissa's myspace. Just thought I would show y'all his little cousin on his daddy's side. He knew little cousin on the way doesn't have a picture yet. He/she will show their face pretty soon. It's funny how these two are complete opposites.

This is what happens when I leave him alone for two seconds. Poor Sid. Her food is all over the floor. I guess y'all have figured it out that I got my digital camera back now.

Shish!

Caleb got a new pet the other day. He has named it Shish.

For you Mom

Sweet Moments

My new hobby! Josh and I have decided that we needed to do something together more often. He has several hobbies and I really don't have any ones that are sporty. All my hobbies are shopping, singing, and snowboarding (which I am in the wrong state for that). Anyways, I am so excite and I will post new pics from this past Monday from our little trip down the Guadelupe River when I get them developed. We had so much fun. We kayaked about 20 minutes and then pulled off to the side and had a picnic lunch. It was very sweet and romantic. I saw alot of nature that I haven't seen or really payed attention to. Then we stopped to take a swim for a little bit. I made it through the rapids without tipping over. I was so proud of myself. That picture is the same kayak I have. Same color too. I love it!


This picture was taken today. He is such a joy to be around. I love love love being a stay at home mom. Okay not that I am pregnant or even trying to get pregnant, I just decided today that if I ever have a girl that I am going to name her Maddalyn. I think that is the cutest name ever. Her nick name will be Maddy. Oh it will be cute. If I don't ever have a girl I am going to tell my sister to name her kid that! I love it. Anyways, life is good. I am so excited about youth convention. Actually, I am just excited about Hillsong United being there. It is going to be flippin awesome. Well, Caleb has been cutting some more teeth. I believe it is more of his molars. NOT FUN!!! He gets up in the middle of the night just crying and crying. He is asleep but the pain is so bad it wakes him up. Poor baby. You know now that I am thinking about the whole teeth thing, we go through all that pain as a kid to get the dumb things in so they can fall out again. I don't get it. Why not just get one set of teeth. That is very weird if you really stop and think about it. Well, I am going to go to bed now. I have to wake up early for Mother's Day out tomorrow. I love doing that. Caleb gets to play with a bunch of his friends. It's great. Goodnight everyone.

Macs are so much fun! I could literally sit at this computer for hours making fun of myself in this pics. Okay, so the family is great. Caleb is always getting bigger and he is saying so much more now. He says "Oh my Gosh" and "Wow" all the time. My little man is sooooo cute. Josh and I are loving the church. I can't begin to tell you how much we love it here. It's great. Other than that no other news. Just living a good life!!!
