Cute Little Caylee

Caylee is so stinkin’ cute even if I do say so myself. This post is to recognize a few of her cutest moments in the last few weeks.

1) She loves to sing and dance. She will come up to me and sing happy and clap. Her favorite is “If your Happy and you know it.” I will sing it for her and she will perform all the moves until she gets so excited all she can do is squeal. When we go for walks if you are quite you can hear her sing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” as we push her in the stroller. PRECIOUS!!

2) Because we are always telling the kids, “I love you” at random moments Caylee has started coming up to us and saying “I love you too” at random moments. Makes my heart flutter.

3) The other night I was going to watch a movie. Caylee ask me what I was doing. I told her I was going to watch a chic-flic. She then said, “Momma watch chicken.” Haha, such sweetness.

4) We always tell Caylee that she is our little Princess. Well it has kind of went to her head. Now every time we get her dressed she says, “I princess.” Then the other night Mom came over and Caylee was being ugly. So, I swatted her on the bottom. She started crying, looked up at Grandma, and in a pitiful little voice said, “Princess got spanking.” So hilarious now but not when she is a teenager. ;)

5) When Jeff is off we always try to do something fun as a family. This last weekend we took the kids to the park. We took a soccerball, football, baseball, and gloves. We were teaching Cade how to play soccer and I look up. Caylee went into the goal to get a ball and her head went right through the net. It is wrapped around her throat and she is hung squealing. It looked so funny. Wish we would have got a picture.

Daddy Will be so Proud

I don’t know how many of you watch America’s Got Talent but we def. watch it here. This year there was a guy on the show called, The Kinetic King. He was a little on the weird side but I loved him. He would spend hrs. stacking popsicle sticks and then make them drop like dominoes for his talent. I was more intrigued by his personality than anything. Anyways he would always say, “Oh yeah, woohoo.” His voice and lack of excitement really made the expression. Jeff started mimicking this guy when he wanted to tease me about liking him and we always laugh about it. Last week he taught Cade the expression and would have him repeat it. This afternoon I was checking to see what shows were on TV tonight. I was excited with the evening line up and said, “Yes!” As soon as it was out of my mouth I hear Cade say in a mediocre voice, “Oh yeah, woohoo.” I could have swore The Kinetic King was sitting right beside me. Haha, he didn’t have a clue what I was excited about but like his Daddy poked fun at the fact that once again Mommy was celebrating over nothing.

Stay-cation 2011

This past week Jeff was on vacation so we decided to take a stay-cation. I looked on the internet at different things here in Amarillo that we don’t normally do. I found prices and times and made a list of activities that I thought the kids as well as us would enjoy.

On Monday we went to Thompson park and had a picnic. After our picnic we went to the zoo. Both of the kids really seemed to enjoy themselves. At each and every stop Cade would say, “I see an animal. Let’s go find another animal.” About half way through he told me he could hear an elephant. However, there are no elephants there. After we left the zoo and was headed home I ask the kids what their favorite animal was. Cade said, “The zebra,” there wasn’t one, haha. And Caylee said, “I sleepy” with a big grin on her face. That night they had an ice cream M&M picnic and watched ABC animals in the living room.

On Tues. we got up and went to the botanical garden. It is small and not way exciting but we were able to talk to the kids about all the different colors and shapes. They loved being outside and walking through “the jungle” as Cade calls it. That afternoon we went to the Discovery Center. There were a million hands on act. For the kids. They had different act. With ping pong balls, blocks, legos, and bubbles. They had a place to learn how to rope. They had cowboy outfits and mirrors. They also had a performance stage and lots of instruments the kids could play. We will def. be getting a membership there for cold snowy days or days that it is too hot to go outside.

On Wed. we rested and then went to church that night. Then on Thurs. we took the kids to the WT football game. They have never been to a game so I packed books, stickers, and snacks to keep them occupied. On the way to Canyon Cade raised his arms and shouted, “Cade is so excited.” When we pulled up to the stadium he said, “Look it’s the football cow.” Haha! Once we were in we took them over to see the buffalo and then found our seats. They loved sitting behind the band and put on quite a dance show for the fans in our area. They clapped and cheered. And at the end of the game Cade cried all the way to the car. He begged to stay.

Friday and Sat. we spent our time in Borger celebrating birthdays. And what better way to end a special week than to spend time with Grandma and Papa. Lots of wonderful memories with my sweet babies. (I will upload an album of pictures on fb for those of you interested.)
