Summer around the town!

Having fun at the Hoover Library. Every week we go and pick out books to read for the week. we then get tickets for every 100 pages we read' which we then get to cash in for toys. Parker loves getting free toys and getting to read different books.

Fun watching the trains

On Sunday with my parents we went to Irondale Cafe (whistle stop cafe) for lunch and then got to spend time outside watching the trains go by. It was a lot of fun to see the boys really get excited to put pennies on the tracks and then look for them after the trains went by. This is one of our favorite places to go and get a great home-cooked meal. The Boys looking for their pennies that they put on the track. We got some really cool ones.

Caleb was so excited to see the Big TRAINS up in person going by him fast.

The boys watching the train go by. They loved watching them.

Look at me MOM. That is a train over there. So cool.

Caleb enjoying snuggle time with Grandma. So glad that Grandpa and Grandma came in town to celebrate my 1 year birthday.

CALEB REID turns 1 years old

Caleb turned 1 years old yesterday. Wow how the time has gone by so fast. This little boy has brought us such joy and spunk this past year. We are so thrilled to have him part of our family. Yesterday on his birthday we had a farm themed birthday party for Caleb. Caleb looking at the bale of hay with a pitch fork and duck on it.

The farm cake that I made. It took me all day to bake 3 different cakes and then to put it all together with icing and candy.

The cupcakes were pigs, cows and ducks. I even made animal shaped sugar cookies, haystack cookies, rice krispies for the guests to eat while here at our house.

Caleb had his own personal little green cake with chocolate chips on it. He first just looked at it and all of us who were looking at him. We even put a little chick cupcake by him hoping to entice him to dive in.

We even gave him a fork to help. He decided to stick the chick with it.

Finally in the end, he did smash his own cake and eat some of it as well.

This cake was so yummy and fun Mommy to dive into with my fork. I can't believe you didn't tell me NO for making a mess out of my food.
