Summer time with pool time Fun

This morning I cleaned out the kiddie pool so we could put it on the back patio area. Caleb didn't like getting in it, he just wanted to be on the outside of it touching the water. Of course Parker loved the pool and was jumping around and sliding down the slide. So glad that we will have this again this summer for the boys to cool off in the hot summer days. Mom look at me in my bathing suit near the water

Mom look how silly I can be with the rubber ducks

My silly cute boys having fun in the pool

Caleb walking around in the kitchen. He is really getting the walking thing down and starting to move fast.

Look at me!! I can do it Dad.

Cheerios on Caleb

The other morning while I was taking a shower, David was feeding Caleb some cheerios. Caleb then laid his head down on top of the cheerios and got them stuck to his face. So cute to see them on his face, so Daddy took some cute pics of him.

hehe look at me Daddy!

Caleb is Walking

Our sweet Caleb is now walking. Two weeks ago he took his first steps and then it turned into 10 steps last weekend. All week he is trying to go further. Well today he is taking so many steps that we can't even count them because we are thrilled to have him walking. Watch out here I come!!!! I just love this picture of Caleb. He is so full of laughter and fun.

Mom look at me behind my walker. I can really move with it.

Only a few weeks until Caleb turns 1 years old and he is walking. He isn't saying many words, but that is okay. We love you Caleb Reid.

David and Parker go Camping

David told Parker this week for this last week of school that they could camp out in the basement on Friday night with a movie and popcorn. Well on Friday afternoon, Parker tells me he wants to camp out in the backyard. So I texted David to tell him to pick up a tent from UAB rec center renting equipment area. David and I were shocked that Parker wanted to camp out in a tent. So we blew up the air matresses and put them in the tent and closed it up so the bugs wouldn't get in it before they went to sleep. Parker was so excited and we really thought he wouldn't make it all night, but he did. David and Parker enjoyed their special time together and I wonder what they talked about out there under the stars.
Caleb and I enjoyed staying inside the house all night with the air condition. The 2 man tent

Parker was so excited to be getting in the tent for the night

Here I am all ready to sleep in the tent

David and Parker all ready to zip it up and try to fall asleep outside

Happy Mother's Day

For Mother's Day we went to the Irondale Cafe (whistle stop cafe) for lunch and to watch the trains go by. While Daddy was paying the bill we went outside to watch a train go by. Parker wanted to sit on this bench. The train was really loud so Parker put his hands over his ears while Caleb had big eyes watching it go by. This was the first time for Caleb to see a train up close.

Trying to get them to look at me, but they were watching the train

I wanted a picture of all my boys, but Parker didnt' want to sit near Daddy and Caleb. My silly boys.

Mommy with her boys. I love being a mother and I am so blessed to be Parker and Caleb's mother.
David gave me 4 knock out roses to plant in our garden, which we did last weekend. I am excited to be able to cut roses throughout the summer from them to have in the house. Parker wanted to buy me a pink snuggie and he did.

David then got me the "table of contents" cookout which is the Junior League of Birmingham newest cookbook. I am excited to try new recipes on the family.

It was a great day to spend with my boys.

Caleb is 11 months old

Our little man, Caleb is 11 months old today. What is he up to you ask? Well he is finally taking his first few steps this week and loves to cruise around the furniture and us. So we will probably have a walker very soon. He is crawling around everywhere and pulling up on everything he can try. He loves to play with his big brother Parker and Parker loves to play with him. It is so cute for David and I to watch them play together. This past week we put up a big boy swing for Parker, so now Caleb and Parker can both swing outside at the same time. Caleb loves being in his swing and will point to it when we are outside and want to go in it. He will cry when you get him out of it, because he isn't finished swinging. So we have to distract him and turn his attention onto something else. He was watching his baby videos and it was so cute to see him resting his head on his fist.

Whenever I am loading or unloading the dishwasher, Caleb will hurry over to me and want to get the items out of the dishwasher. So we needed to capture these moments before he moves onto something else.

This fork feels so good in my mouth.
