Almost Christmas, What?

It has been a while since I have posted mostly because I get caught up in the everyday life things and this gets pushed down on my "to do" list. Here is an update on everyone




Caleb - He is a funny guy! always laughing and smiling until he really wants something then he pulls you over and screams at what he wants. I am hoping this gets better once he learns to talk! Oh how frustrating it must be not to be able to just say what you want. He also likes to be involved in everything. We had ginger bread house making at Juliet's friends Hapers house and Caleb wanted to do everything the girls were doing, he helped decorate the house and loved to be in the middle of things. John jokes that he will get married at 19 and start a family soon after because he loves to be around people so much and rarely likes to be alone... who is that like??? Maybe John Collins! ha ha. Caleb is a funny and so sweet and gives hugs and kisses whenever I ask for them. He also is starting to really love daddy and asks for him over me sometimes, small tear (see I thought we were best buddies)




Juliet - Always an easy going cool girl. She is just so easy and has a breezy way about her. She does hate to clean up and lets me know. "you know mom I just don't like to clean up my mess" and I say back to her "you know what I don't either but we have to do it or the mice and bugs will start to over run out house" you see she is like me in this way. I wish I was better at being organized and tidy but I am not. I do my best and "make myself" clean up but I agree with her I don't really want to. Maybe Juliet will be called a fun director in the future like I am by John! She is writing more words at school and learning her sight words to get ready for kindergarten. I can not believe she will be on a school bus and going to school for a full day next year. CRAZY!

Halloween and other fun stuff

Caleb and Juliet both had a great Halloween Caleb trick-or-treated for the first time and had a blast! He is such a happy guy and loves to do anything his sister does. A couple of Caleb's new words are duck, cup, milk, hot, hock (for hockey) and, grape & app (for apple!) 

John and I ran through the grapvine! Got 2nd place in my age :)

Dad shows Juliet how to make your own play dough and a circuit with led lights! 

We picked the last of our garden till next spring! 

October almost gone...

Everyone is doing well Caleb is starting to talk a little more by repeating words I say and learning new words like bird, up, and cat. Juliet ran her first mile fun run, she loved it & ran it with my dad. I also won the 5k at a local school community race!!! Juliet is still a sweet big sister now she's saying things like she never wants Caleb to grow up b/c he is so cute as he is. Which is true I wish I could hit the pause button sometimes but I also live watching them grow and change. Caleb is still napping twice a day b/c he still gets up pretty early most days between 5 & 6am. He is still also have stomach problems at times :( 

Juliet with crazy hair for school

Caleb loves to read books in the morning and will yell "books, books" until he reads almost a dozen books! 

Our fun ran and race

Hello October!

Where has the time gone? it's been almost a month since I've posted a lot is going on! John and I both excepted new jobs John is a manager of sales and I am now an online specialist which means I will be doing a lot more with the marketing campaign for the youth market of American heart. Caleb says a few words regularly mama, dada,Nana, book ball, bath, but (for button b/c he loves pushing buttons) he seems to have a knack for the words that start with B. Caleb is high energy and he loves to try to wander off and explore all the time I have to watch him like a hawk. He easily laughs and sometimes easily cries when he gets upset! Juliet is still loving big sister and now has taken to picking Caleb up when she wants to move him and tells me because he was in danger she had to pick him up! Juliet has school five days a week and she's loving it she has lots of friends and she really likes her teacher. I can't believe she'll be going to kindergarten next year she seems like such a big kid deathly not a toddler anymore. 

Below are pictures from Juliet's first kids race and her dressing up for Halloween and Caleb playing outside and family pictures!
