just the three of us

we had such a relaxing weekend! I had decided I needed to skip the women's retreat this past weekend to spend some much needed time with my boy as I had been running errands all week after work and was missing him so much. I think it was the first weekend in a very long time we've been able to spend the whole weekend together...just the three of us. Well, we did celebrate Jason's Birthday Friday at Saddle Creek and we did have Kaleb's Granna come by for a visit! You'll have to excuse the numerous pictures and videos...so much was done we had to document it all!



"watching you" by rodney atkins (words below):


he closed his little eyes, folded his little hands spoke to the Lord like he was talking to a friend I asked him son, where'd you learn to pray like that? I've been watching you, dad ain't that cool? I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you eat all my food and grow as tall as you are we like fixing things and holding mama's hand yeah we're just alike, hey, ain't we dad? i wanna do everything you do, I've been watching you


was tearing up hearing this song on the way to daycare and guess what? just started tearing up again! Can't even blame the hormones anymore. I'm trying to hold onto every precious moment as Kaleb is little bitty but get so excited for the future when he's grown...he's so much like his daddy already... kaleb, this weekend daddy kept telling me over and over how much he loves you! And just when I was confident it was not possible for a daddy to love his child any more he'd interrupt my thoughts with "have I told you today how MUCH I love my boy??" daddy wanted to nap with you all day. I don't think sleeping was the idea so much as cuddling together because every time daddy woke up and you were still sleeping he BEGGED me to wake you up so he could play! after playing a bit i.e. singing Josh Groban songs to you in your bumbo seat, daddy napped with you again

in your carrier grasping your donkey toy. you didn't let go of him the whole car ride.

Kaleb and Riley celebrating Jason's Birthday! Riley looked so cute in her outfit with her leopard fur trim! We need to start shopping at Baby Couture for Kaleb or Riley's going to find a more fashion-minded baby--perhaps baby Gabe or Deacon =)) No worries. Truth be told, it's always the sophisticated ones who fall for the farm boys!

kaleb reached out and put his hand on Riley's...I thee wed...

At P.F. chang's for my birthday with Kaleb sleeping away next to us just out of view. Derek's doing his 'I'm trying to appear handsome and rugged' look but, as usual, it appears as though he is angry.

mama had to run errands for just an hour this weekend and kaleb missed me so much! he got so excited when i came back home...what a warm welcome he gave me!!
