Thomas needs a coat!

Last Saturday we took the kids to see Thomas the Train! Caleb, like most little boys, LOVES trains and especially Thomas! We were bummed though b/c when we woke up that morning it was sooo cold and windy but we still had a fun day. When we were getting dressed to leave that morning I told Caleb it was cold so we were going to have to wear our coats. Caleb told me "We'll have to go to the store and get Thomas a coat". I thought that was so funny that he was worried Thomas would be cold!

We got to ride a bus from the parking lot to Thomas which was a big hit. Once we got there they had coloring stations, train tables, story times, etc. We walked around a little while and then waited in line to board the train. Once we were on they played Thomas music and we were off for our ride! The conductor came around and took our tickets, which the kids loved! After our ride we took a few more pics and then headed back on the bus to our car. We stopped for a yummy Mexican food lunch and then headed home for naps. It was a fun morning and Caleb is already wanting to go back and see Thomas again! Hopefully the next time Thomas is in town it will be a little warmer!

 
 
 
 

Fun with the box!

Brett recently bought a new smoker and of course Caleb and Caroline thought the box that it came in was a blast! They played with it for several days in a row. They would pretend they were riding in a car, pretend to go to sleep, and even have story time in the box! It's the simple things that keep them entertained!

 
 
 

Spring Break, Part 2

After a busy morning at the mall, we all headed back to take a little nap. After naps everyone came over to play outside and then we went to La Hacienda for dinner. After a yummy meal everyone was exhausted from a busy day so we all headed home.

The next day we met for breakfast, went to the park, and then did a little painting at a fun kids pottery place. After lunch we played a little more and then everyone headed home. For some reason I didn't take any pictures on our second day!

We had a great time hanging out with our cousins and we hope to do it again soon!

 
 
 

Spring Break

Last week the kids had spring break so Amy, Emma, Maddie, Nana and PawPaw came over for a couple of days of fun! We started off the first morning at the mall. We did Build A Bear, rode the carousel, went to the train store, and then had lunch at Rainforest Cafe. It was a busy morning but Caleb and Caroline loved it all! 

 
 
 
 

Big kids now...

We recently moved Caleb and Caroline into big girl/boy beds and we moved Caroline into her own room. We were worried about the transition but it has been really smooth. They both love their rooms and beds and are sleeping great! It's hard to believe they are big enough to be out of cribs. I guess our next goal is potty training...which I have to admit I am dreading!

One day at nap Caleb wanted to have his train book in his bed. When we went in to wake him up this is what we it laying on top of him! Here are some pictures of sleep Caleb and Caroline playing peek-a-boo.

 
 
 

Sweet Granny

A few weeks ago my granny passed away. Granny was the kindest person I have ever known. She loved her family so much and it showed--she was a great mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. I have so many fun memories of her that I will always remember. One time she came to stay with me while my parents were out of town. I came home from school and she had made me a HUGE bowl of pudding. I thought it was so cool that she would let me eat the whole thing! :) 

We are so sad that granny isn't with us anymore but I know she is in heaven with my papaw and that makes me happy. Here is a picture of granny with Caleb and Caroline at her 90th birthday party in August.
