How cute are my parents?

My parents bought a canoe to enjoy on the lakes in Show Low. This weekend was it's first adventure out and although it is a little hard for them to load and unload off the Pilot they sure enjoyed their hour and a half canoe jaunt. Go mom and dad! Can't wait to try it out!

A little from this week...

The boys and their Papa Chris up north. My dad and I were just talking this past weekend about how much fun he has as a Grandpa and the boys sure love their time with him too. Family... what a fun idea God had!
My munchkins and I. I feel like the boys are in such awesome stages right now! 41/2 and 1 1/2, Caeden is so cute and fun and creative and we enjoy doing school together. Caleb is starting to talk so much, yet they are baby words. He still has his baby chub but his personality is starting to develop into a little boy. Oh how yummy they both are!
Caeden started Karate last Friday and it was amazing! I have so many cute videos that I don't know how to get on here, sorry... but it is a great class. Caeden is our Mighty Warrior and so we want to encourage and equip him in that area. He learned so many "moves" and self discipline things last week we can't wait for another class tomorrow! Caleb thinks it's amazing to watch too, which is great!

RODEO

We went to Taylor, AZ on Saturday night to watch a Rodeo with my parents. It was so fun! It made a huge impression on Caleb as he has talked about the "eee hee's" (his name for horse is the sound they make) and "broke" and "man" and "moo's" for the last few days. He was obviously very concerned with the things that took place. We have been reassuring him over and over that all the animals and people are ok. Kids of all ages were at this Rodeo but we have a very sweet and sensitive little boy, we love his sincere heart!!!
Here are some cowboys tying up a cow during the ranch rodeo festivities. We also saw real bronco riding, it was scary and cool all at the same time.
Here is the clan. :) Caeden at one point said, "mom, look the black cow is on top of the brown cow and going like this...." he had the moves and the noises down, the cutest part is he had no idea they were getting their groove on. :) Jay wondered why none of us were videoing his story. :)

3 Caeden funnies

We were washing our produce after grocery shopping and Caeden said, "mom, look it's a veggie party!" :)

Tonight Caeden was not interested in what I cooked for dinner and kept asking if he could be done. We told him he needed to finish the rest of his food before he would be excused. So.... he asked if we could quit talking at the dinner table because we were distracting him. :) (nice try buddy.) And then during one of the many lul's in waiting for the food to disappear he asked if I could get him some of the "bug cream cheese" for the bites on his legs. :) Hilarious new verbage for anti itch cream. Oh my cute boy!

We are off to Show Low for the long weekend! Yeah for family, cool weather and daddy all to ourselves for a few days!
