What A Week!




We survived Daddy's week out of town, but things got a little silly around here! Check out how I found Jay one morning...no pants, old sandles (much too little) on the wrong feet, reading away. Caleb was playing with this airplane in the tub, but then couldn't find it!!

Sweet Caleb!


Caleb is growing up so fast! On the 19th, he went to the Dr. for a well check. He was 20lbs, 14 oz (high 60's %) and was 29.5 inches (90%). He loves to laugh, play with Jay & swing. He now has added "nah," meaning "no,'' complete with head shake to his vocabulary. He is in constant motion, pulling up on anything he can reach and beginning to slide his feet to move down the coffee table, couch, etc. a bit. He & Jay are going to be complete opposites, but both are perfect to us!

Gardner In Training!





Jay had SO much fun picking tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans & apples at Mama J & Daddy J's house! He loved being able to run around & explore everything!

Our Helpers!
















Thank you, Grandmother & Pa, for coming to the wedding and for helping take care of the boys!

Uncle Matt was one handsome guy himself! (Sorry, Aunt Rachel...the only pics. I have at this point are of you getting ready!) Don't worry, more photos to come.

Are We Ready For This?

This is what we see when we go to get Caleb after his naps! He has had a busy 3 days. Since Friday, he had begun to sit up from a crawling position, pull up to his knees, and now, pull up to stand. Have I ever mentioned that he's a busy boy??

The Ar-teest...Part 2!

After his nap, Jay decided to draw on his chalkboard. He draws a BIG circle then 2 lines (eyes) and some hair. VIOLA....A Big, Big Smiley Face!!! Daddy says it looks like the face of an ant!

Playing Ball - Together!


Jay & Caleb are can play ball together, now! Both just laugh and squeal as they roll it back & forth! (yes, the "bug" is a fake, just in case you were worried.)

Our House


We were taking pictures of the house for Caleb's baby book, and I realized that some of you have not seen where we live...and others may have forgotten : ) This is home, sweet home!

July 3rd Celebration!



We had an early Independence Day get together with the Brothers and Bohannons. The little ones & little ones on-the-way, put a whole new spin (and time table) on cookouts & fireworks! Jay & Caleb love to have sweet Ella come to visit! We are all very thankful to live in such a great, free country and are eternally grateful to all who have served to make and keep it that way!

Big Boy Underwear!!

This is one of those pictures that he'll be upset with mommy about later in life, but I'm not scared! We gave the diapers to Caleb, starting Friday (6/30). So far, neither Jay nor Mommy are huge fans of the process!

Checking Out The Toys!





















Jay loves for Caleb to stand at the toy box with him so that he can "show" him everything! They were so cute, I coudn't pass up this shot! Caleb is so busy and into everything that I have to find places to "stash" him for a few minutes after he eats so that he doesn't spit up everywhere doing his belly crawl.

Breakfast Crazies!



The silly boys were making each other laugh at breakfast, wish I had instant video capabilities. By the time the video camera comes out, the best stuff is over!! (Caleb was getting his veges out of the way early)

Time Flies!


Our sweet Daddy sent Mommy seven beautiful roses for their anniversary (OK, so we haven't posted in long time) last week! He's the very best daddy AND the very best husband....double threat guy!

Got Milk?

Jay is so funny with his milk mustache from drinking out of a big boy cup!
