A fun day with bud!!

We were invited to dress up and join Caeden today at school for elegant day. :) All week long they had been practicing their manners, how to set a table, proper etiquette and learned how to Waltz.... this morning they got to show the parents just how gentleman and lady like they are. ADORABLE!
I had the privilege of helping to decorate yesterday and it really was a mini prom setting. :)
How cute are these kiddos dressed in their finest attire?
When they entered the room Caeden said, "Hi, I'm Caeden, allow me to introduce Maritess." She continued with a head nod and curtsy and said, "it's very nice to see you." After all the introductions they waltzed with each other and all of us parents got turns with our kiddos too. It really was a special day!

This Valentine's Day we are....

We are...
*happy to be a family of four, on the brink of five!
*excited by our beautiful weather!
*in love with each other!
*thrilled to have grandparents ready to play with the boys this weekend so Jay and I can go to Dallas for a vacation before sister comes!
*grateful for so many wonderful family and friends that we get to do life with regularly!
*soaking in moments of laughter, games, wrestling, gun shooting, play dates, and movie time!
*loving our times with the Lord at home, school, church and out and about!

God is good and so are our lives! We pray that you too would experience the love of God! His love for you is SOOOOOOOOOOO BIG It's amazing! Ephesians 3:18-19 says... May you have the power with all God's people to understand Christ's love. May you know how wide and long and high and deep it is. And may you know his love, even though it can't be known completely. Then you will be filled with everything God has for you.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Birthday Caleb!!!



Here he is our 3 year old sound asleep, how precious you are!
Birthday breakfast, he was sooooo excited to have cinnamon rolls and a #3 candle on it. :)
One of Caleb's favorite places to go is AZ Sunrays where they get an hour and a half of free time play on all the gymnastics equipment. One of his friends Judah joined us and it was wonderful to see a smiley boy the whole time.


Birthday presents tonight, right after PIZZA and right before ICE CREAM!
Tonight we made a cake together for his family birthday party at the park tomorrow. He has been so excited that he tells strangers all about his birthday and who is coming to his party. It's pretty darn cute!

Caleb Bo Baleb, we LOVE you. You are such a fun, passionate, energetic, caring, and silly kid. We are so proud of you for learning how to use the big boy potty in these last few weeks!!! We are also amazed at how much your little mind remembers, you are a guy who knows his details! We are delighted at your adoration for sister even though she is still in Mommy's tummy. It is going to be amazing to watch you love on her in person. Thank you for bringing joy to our hearts and home. We love you sweet one, happy 3rd Birthday!
