GOOAALLL!

We have really enjoyed going to a few Real soccer games this year. Although we usually find someone to watch Cael, we wanted to bring him along yesterday. It was nearly 100 degrees outside, but we kept his sippy cup full of Gatorade and fed him lots of ice cream. He also snuck a piece or two of popcorn off of the ground. :0) We're awesome parents, I know. I can't say I saw as much of the game as I usually get to watch, but I was so glad to have our little buddy along. It's so fun to watch him experience things for the first time. He was enjoying the ice cream in particular so much that we couldn't pry the spoon out of his little hands. He's a funny little dude.

All in all, it was a successful day and I think we made some good progress toward training our own little soccer player!

Don't they look cute in their matching shirts!

Memorial Day 2010

On Memorial Day we took a little trip up the canyon for a campfire, some roasted hotdogs and s'mores. I about had a heart attack a number of times with the swiftly-flowing creek on one side and the fire pit on the other. Hardly a relaxing atmosphere for the mother of an 18-month old boy. However, we did manage to capture a few super cute photos of our favorite little monkey. Love this kid!

Easter Egg Surprise

I love that Cael is starting to catch on to what's going on with Holidays and birthdays and other fun events. On Easter we did a little Easter Egg Hunt around my house for Cael, Ayden and Colby. Ayden fully understood what he was supposed to do, but Cael was a little confused about what was going on at first. However, I finally got him to find an egg. He opened it up and that was the end of the hunt for Cael. Once he realized there was candy inside he was too preoccupied with eating the candy to bother with looking for more eggs. Since Colby is not crawling yet, let's just say that Ayden had free reign of the Easter Egg Hunt.

Here are some pictures of our Easter Egg Hunt.
