Kaleb's 1st day of Preschool

Today while sister was at school Kaleb learned how
to write the letter c, o, a, and d. Last week he
learned the sounds of them and the little letter
stories behind each letter. He did a pretty good
job! His attention span is only about 30 minutes
though.

Kaleb practicing his letters!

Yosemite!

On Thursday the kids and I went with
my parents to Oakhurst. On Friday,
we headed up to Yosemite. The kids
had a blast! Thanks Grandma Sharon
and Papa for inviting us to join you!

First Day of Homeschooling!

So we just completed our first day of
school today at home! It only took us
two hours but I think that was only
because we are reviewing what she
already learned in kindergarten. She
did a great job and Kaleb even sat
for a bit and learned letters a, c, o, u
and g. I think I will start teaching him
while Taylor is in school on Tuesday's
and Thursday's. We also learned our
verse for this week which is Psalms 118:24
"This is the day the Lord has made and
I will rejoice and be glad in it!" I am
rejoicing in the Lord for the opportunity
to give my children a Godly education!

and the kids table!


A view of our classroom. We set it up in the
sitting room (which was empty). The rug
Taylor picked out has all the states on it :)
We started the day off with seeing where Granny
was flying this morning. All the way from CA to OK!

Circus!!

Last night we got to go to the Circus!
Thanks to Jonathan's work we got some
awesome tickets to the Circus for a great
price. The kids had a great time! We went
an hour and a half early to see the animals
and meet the crew. We were so glad Grandma
Sharon, Uncle Larry, Uncle Bubby, Dillon
and Connor got to join us too!


Taylor and Kaleb checking out the zebras!

4th of July

We had fun this 4th of July with our
friends from down the street. We had
a good time swimming, eating yummy
food, and watching the fireworks. A
special thanks to Uncle Larry for taking
the kids to get fireworks. They really
enjoyed our first year of fireworks!


Bradley and daddy! So glad no one
got hurt.


Kaleb and his silly face!

Photo Shoot!

On Saturday the kids had a photo shoot with their
cousins. It was really laid back and the photgrapher
just took pictures of their everyday smiles/looks.
I think she did an amazing job at capturing their
personalities! Here are a few preview pictures.

Party Time!

Monday night we helped Grandma Dede
celebrate her 70th Birthday! Uncle Larry
ordered Chinese food, mom made a
pink cocunut cake and I made homemade
vanilla icecream! After eating I had the kids
pose for a picture with the birthday girl!
So, glad we got to spend time with Grandma
Dede on her birthday. And, we pray that
the Lord will bless her with many more!

Easter Sunday 2011

The kids posed for a picture before
church Sunday morning. Grammy
Tenny bought them their Easter
outfits this year. It's hard to get
Bradley to pose for a pic. Taylor is good
with the boys though and tries real
hard for them to help make my
life a bit easier by looking at the camera.
Here are a couple of shots from the 10
I took!

A day at CALM!

Grammy called and asked if the kids and I wanted
to spend the day with her. She took the kids and I to
CALM. We had a wonderful time! We got to ride
the train twice and see the animals. Below is a pic
of Grammy and the kids walking to see the animals.
Taylor and Kaleb also got a picture with the engineer
of the train...Bradley wouldn't stay still long enough
to get in the pic. And, the last pic is of Kaleb wearing
his mask he made at the craft center!

Playtime!

The kids had a great time yesterday playing football with Papa John and daddy. Great-Grandpa and Grandma Hunt came all the way from Georgia to spend the day with us. The kids really had a wonderful time!

Matching Suits

Kaleb got a new suit a few weeks ago and I decided he should wear it this Sunday to church. He asked Papa if he would match him. So, I had to get a picture because they matched almost perfectly.

Disneyland 2011

We had a wonderful time this week at Disneyland. The kids loved getting to meet all the characters! We were so glad we got to share this experience with Dillon, Connor, and Brenna not to mention their parents, Grandma Sharon and Papa, and Uncle Larry. Here are a few pics we took the rest we left up to my brother which I am sure he will post soon.

Tuesday Fun!

Yesterday morning the boys had lots of fun playing with Mia and Macie! Then later that evening Uncle Larry, Pops and Grandma Dede, and Grandma Sharon and Papa came over for dinner. The kids enjoyed playing outside with Pops until it got dark. We all sure are enjoying this nice weather! Kaleb playing with Mia and Macie! Macie is the only one
that would smile for the camera!

Tree Trimming

Papa and Grandma Sharon came over today to help us trim our trees. Of course the boys thought they had to help Papa with every little thing. So, Papa let them haul away the old supports that were holding up the trees. A special thanks to Papa and Grandma Sharon for helping Mommy trim the trees this year :)
Kaleb and Bradley working together.

I had to get the back shot too!

Kaleb said after we were all done that his

tummy hurt. I asked him why and he said

because of all the hard work he had to do!

He is his father's son...for sure :)

Captain Awesome

Kaleb got these PJs for his birthday from Grammy Tenny. If you have ever given Kaleb a gift or a cookie or really anything if he likes it he says, "AWESOME!!" So when he unwrapped these on Tuesday I knew I was going to have to take a pic and post it on the blog. Now we refer to him as Captain Awesome and he loves it!

What can I say he is adorable!

He even has a cape on the back of his PJs.

Bunkbeds!

The boy's new bunkbeds came in today. Thanks to Uncle Larry the boys have brand new bedroom furniture and memory foam mattresses. I would like to personally thank Uncle Larry for all he does for us. We love you Uncle Larry and thank you for the new beds!!

Bradley and Kaleb excited to sleep in their
new beds tonight!

These bunkbeds have a desk on one side, bookshelves

on the other and a 5 drawer dresser.

Uncle Larry also got them this dresser so

they would have enough room for all the

clothes he buys them...lol

Kaleb gets to sleep on the top bunk. Check out his

new surfboard sheets.

Taylor had to try out the top bunk as well :)

Happy 4th Birthday Kaleb!

Kaleb decided he wanted to go see the movie Gnomeo and Juliet for his birthday. Since his cousins Dillon and Connor couldn't make it :( Kaleb decided to invite a friend. Ty is my cousin's son and the boys hit if off about a month ago when they spent the night together at Granny Barbara's house. So, Kaleb was very excited that Ty could come along on his Birthday celebration. Also in attendance at the movie were Uncle Jason, Mommy, Daddy, Bradley and Granny. After the movie was over we came home for some pizza and Ninja Turtle cake made espeically for Kaleb by Grandma Sharon. Uncle Larry, Grandma Dede and Pops, and Grammy Tenny came over for some cake and present opening as well. Thanks to all that came and made Kaleb's birthday so special. He loves each and everyone of you and his presents too!

Kaleb and Ty ready for the movie!

quick pic!

After the movie I had to snap this picture because

I thought it was adorable. Granny, Ty, and Kaleb
