Playin' in the grass...

This was Caleb's first time playing...

in the grass!

This kept him busy for a good while...

he pulled handful after handful out.

He then made sure to examine each piece of grass...

very carefully.  I was very surprised he didn't try to eat it.

Oh gee golly...grass is such fun!

Easter

we had a very blessed Easter weekend...

filled with family...

allergen free Easter dinner...

and a lot of starburst jelly beans :)

Caleb's Grandpa Curt and Grandma Beth (Cole's parents) came Easter Sunday...

we had lunch together and then went for a walk at Holmes Lake.

Cole and Caleb before Easter service...

Me and my baby boy :)

I pray Caleb knows his Savior, even now...

that He lives and reigns.

We are so blessed to know truth and that Jesus Christ is the risen Lord.

We are ever thankful for His salvation and the life He gives us.

Caleb is a big boy...

at a young 8 months Caleb weighs nearly 22 lbs and is close to 30 inches...

and his Chicco car seat height limit is 30 inches.

Thus, we are in the market for a new car seat.

I would LOVE any recommendations!

I am looking for a convertible car seat that is...

1. SAFE

2. Easy to use

Thanks for your help!

I Dream Of Laundry Room...

Cole and I went to some dream open houses today just for fun.  Oh, and dream houses they were!  One specifically had a dream laundry room, everything I imagine when I dream of a laundry room of my dreams. 

A dream laundry room for me would have....

TONS of light.

Windows...

light colors...

white, white and more white!

Just like the one pictured above.

Oh, and I love that this one has a back door.

I love that it functions as a washroom.

It would also ...

Be quite large...

 I'm thinking the size of a master bedroom (hehe)

And would also contain tons of...

shelving...

...storage...

and more storage.

Oh, and I like that this one has a table...

for folding, sorting and such things.

Love this laundry room, too.

My dream laundry room would also have...

Multiple front load washing machines and dryers.

Totally unnecessary and quite extravagant...

... but this is my dream laundry room after all! :)

What would your dream laundry room (or any room) be like?

8 Months

Caleb is 8 months old.

Caleb...

...we are seeing your bottom two pearly white teeth coming in...

just four days ago you learned how to get up on your hands and knees...

we think you may begin to crawl anytime now!

You are a very happy baby.

You love to jibber jabber and sing, we love to listen.

You love to pat the wood floors with your little hands...

...and bang your toys together to make noise.

You are very social and react strongly to your favorite people (with a giddy smile and some boy noises)

You have a knack for getting underneath the household furniture (the couch and your dresser)

Your favorite toys are your musical cars and green frog.

You are a night owl and love to stay up late hanging out with mama and daddy.

You love to sleep in.

You still love to snuggle, and we hope you always will. :)

You love to eat with a recent favorite being peas.

You are such a joy and we just can't get enough of you!

We love you, our baby boy!

What...

What do you think...

he is thinking about?

Isn't it fun to wonder! :)
