July 2012

WOW!! July FLEW by! From 2 weddings, vacations, baby showers, and a whole lot of nesting/preparing for baby.  Here are a LOT of snapshots of the rest of our month:

Caleb loves doing "science projects" and creates his own.  This one happens to be baking soda,vinegar, jello, eye droppers, jello mold, and a fun time exploring
Caleb is pushing Davis in the baby doll stroller-they are becoming great buddies/playmates
Caleb was coughing/wheezing, so we took him in to the doctor concerned about our upcoming traveling.  They gave us a breathing treatment, an inhaler, and some medicine. 
It worked really quickly and he actually enjoyed doing it because he dressed up like a fireman and watched "Fireman Sam" Too Cute and grateful for good medicine!
We had a super fun family Fourth of July.  We picked up Slurpee's from Seven-11 and headed to the Uptown Trolley.
We had so much fun riding around the town
Brotherly Love!
First Slurpee
Caleb has his explorer binoculars
We got off and took a walk to a park
The park was just a baseball field but it had a great view of Downtown. 
We had a long wait for the Trolley to head back to our car.  We have 2 hot and hungry boys!
We were all excited when we saw the trolley pull up
Davis was mesmerized
Another "Science Experiment" was making Bubble Snakes
They had a blast, were entertained for a long time, and continued in the bath tub that afternoon
Bubbles taste funny
Caleb loves matching with his brother-it is too fun and I know it won't last long.  Caleb picked out his own pajamas for Davis to wear, so that they could match.
Davis is wondering why his pants are so big
We turned Davis around to face forward before one of our many car trips.  Now that he is 18 months, 28 pounds 6 ounces (75%), and 34.5 inches (95%) we felt that was okay.  Davis LOVED it and it has been wonderful being able to see him, hand him things, and for him to be a part of the family car trip.
In between Horseshoe Bay and the trip to Philadelphia, we had 1.5 days in Austin.  It was so fun to meet Aunt Jen and the little 2 cousins at a Spray Park.  Precious Faith!
Sarah and Caleb
Faith and Davis
Love these boys
Our neighbors went out of town on their water day, so they suggested we come over and play in their sprinklers.  So, Daddy had a fun idea of playing T-ball and soccer in the sprinklers too.
Mimi and Papa came in town for Little Girl's Sprinkle, so we surprised them with a "Thank you" night in a hotel for all they do for us, all they have been through, and a special treat to tell them how much we love them.  The boys had a fun time dropping them off in their fancy hotel.
Sweet boys
Someone is making them self at home
We walked over to the Galleria for dinner at Five Guys and Mimi splurged and got matching shirts for the boys (per Caleb's request to match)-such a fun night!
An afternoon in the backyard to stay cool
Thank you so much Edge Family for letting us borrow your crib so these two monkeys could get used to sharing a room before their sister shows up.  The shared room has been tough at times with a few tired mornings but overall they have done a great job!
Bath time fun--Arrrr! Caleb put the eye patch on Davis
A baseball player playing golf
Caleb was counting his golf swings or something and Davis goes behind the tree.  It took me a few seconds to realize that he thought Caleb was playing "Hide and Seek"
We got a cheap slip and slide and Caleb had fun splashing around and I had fun learning how to use our new camera!!! Thank you Daddy for such an amazing gift-can't wait to learn how to really use it to its maximum capacity. 
Maybe it is just me, but I LOVE the way there is so much detail to each of these pictures.  I am an amateur but really cherish these pictures (and the many after these).  Thanks again Craig for this amazing gift! 


WOW-check out these two back to back pictures of Caleb in motion

The boys are watching the opening night of the Olympics-it was fun memories 
Davis pointing at the "show" 
"Daddy and Caleb, do you see this"
Sweet boys 
And that was our month in between all the traveling!  (Sorry this post was so long)
