Me & Elmo

So here is Calebs best friend. He loves his Elmo and his red wagon. Although Elmo is usually what we have to convince him to leave at home since they are about the same size. In the next few pictures you will see we have found various ways to stay cool and beat the summer heat. He loves the sprinkler only now it reminds him of rain so he want to take an umbrella out with him sometimes! The orange bucket is the one he eventually took a topple in and doused himself with water in the process. Mom is still trying to find a comfy chair to sit in with baby while watching Boogs run and play in the yard. Have thought about a sandbox for little man to play in however our neighbors have said to make sure we have a good cover for it since they have been finding snakes!

where's all the water gone?

 Some are copperheads, and others are just harmless little snakes living out their lives. However the neighbor behind us does not take car of their lawn and their children have told other kids as they jump on the trampoline to stay out of certain areas because of the snakes. So needless to say dogs clear the yard then we let the kid out.So still trying to figure out the best way to do a sandbox...i think Caleb would love it but want to keep him safe too.

 So Caleb loves to watch golf with daddy, I think it is due to the clapping on every hole! He is such a little encourager and celebratory little boy. So we went and played putt-putt he did amazing the first 4 holes and then was bored. Had more fun throwing the ball, hitting Momma's ball out of the way or all the way back to the T. It was a fun time though. Glad we went.Well just trying to get some more things posted that have been on the to do list for a bit now. Dad is on his way home from camp and to the Zoo tommorrow we will go! Fun Fun, type at you soon.

So here are some quick photos from spring break in April. We went to Kure Beach and Ft. Fisher's aquarium. Our friend Sara went with us. It was a fun day had by all! Little man wasn't sure of the water but he loved the sand and chasing the birds. The Aquarium was really awesome would recommend it and want to go again!! Just wanted to get theses up. Caleb is/was watching Jonah, now he's on my lap trying to help, turning the printer on and off.. Hope you like these more soon I hope!See you all soon as baby Trox 2 arrives!

well here I am...

So once again I have made it back to this site for an update. However, i thought i would be putting up some pictures of Boogs, yet the husbadio is using the computer for his conference, so I am doing a quick update from work.

We had a great spring break and Easter. Our church did an Easter Play/Pageant whatever you would like to call it on Friday and sat it was Christ's life up until the Cross and then on Sunday it was the resurrection and ascension. Caleb loved the Sunday one it was so full of Music, colors, lights and banners. He clapped like crazy. That Friday we drove to Ft. Fisher, near Wilmington went to the aquarium and then spent the afternoon at the beach! Caleb Loved the sand he wouldn't go near the water, I think the noise of it scared him more then anything. But he played in the sand digging and throwing it (mainly throwing it)! Daddy and him played some soccer too. It was fun to watch. All in all we had a great day at the beach, we will go again to Kure Beach it was a blast.

Boogs, now has most of his teeth in except for 2 on the bottom that are still breaking thru the gums. He loves his teeth he is such a little cheesy grin guy now. Caleb is still into balls, the baseball coach at my school gave him a baseball after one of the games and he carried it around and slept with it for almost three days, Momma had to hide it for a couple days. Any type of ball and stick he is a happy lil' man. He also loves to play in his water bucket outside and help water all of our vegetables. He pushes his firetruck and tonka trucks thru the backyard. He goes as fast as he can to try to scare and chase the dogs. Molly and Moo are doing really great with him too. Although the other night he gave me heart failure. I had just checked on him and the dogs through the back door as I was beginning to start dinner. Not 5 minutes later the doorbell rings. I was like hmmm i wonder why the dogs aren't barking and going crazy? So i look out the back door, no dogs no boy! Ahhhh My 8 year old neighbor is at the door letting me know the dogs are loose. My little man has figured out how to open the back gate to the yard! (yikes! note to self buy a padlock to lock gate.which BTW Husbandio and I had just been talking about earlier in the week) OK i say where are the dogs he points across the street to the cul-de-sac. Then I say have you seen Caleb he said "yep he's with the dogs". Thanks I said as I dash out into the street. (As fast as a prego can dash)

There is Caleb all the way on the other side of the cul-de-sac. I yell Caleb come here. He shakes his little head no and stomps his foot, points and the dog and says Molly, Moo come! Boogs knew he was in trouble and was trying to "catch" the dogs. Silly little boy. So I scooped him up and headed for home, while yelling for the dogs, Moo came with us so i gave her a treat and trapped her and Caleb in the house while I went after Molly, who by then was on the other side of the house trying to figure out how to get back inside the fence, so I caught her and took her inside about 15 minutes later Michael made it home from Seminary! Glad to have gotten everyone wrangled up before Daddy got home!!

So that has been our exciting adventures lately.

Hope all is well in your realm!

God is so Good,to us!

Hello I am back.
Can I just say God has once again shown us how faithful he is to us and how he does work everything to his Glory and for good. So Michael resigned from C.F.B.C and God opened another door with in about threes weeks time. Michael was offered and accepted a part time position at Village Baptist Church here in town so we do not have to worry about moving or finding new jobs in other locations. The amazing thing about it is how some of the people we met in Charlotte, namely our sunday school teachers had connections with some people here and gave Michael very nice references! God had started working this issue out a few years ago before we even knew there would be a problem!
Michael will also be doing some substitute teaching at one of the Christian schools as well...we shall see what he thinks of teaching! His classes at Wake Forrest are going well, he had spring break this week.
My spring break will be in April, I will have another Ultrasound to check this baby out and see how he/she is growing.
Boogerman is doing good he is getting so big, maybe too big for his britches at times. He has started closing his eyes when you are telling him something he doesn't want to hear or if you are scolding him. He has always called both dogs Moo but now he has figured out how to say Molly and he is so proud of himself. He is using manners very well plez, tank ou, he tells the dogs git down. He is getting more teeth on the bottom finally the top seems like they are almost all in. So his mouthful of chompers are almost all here. He is still avoiding most meats, he surprised us and ate a turkey burger the other night. He loves to be outside, he has recently found dirt and mud so things should be interesting from here on out. He has had some allergie issues, but we are getting through them everthing is blooming here trees flowers etc...Well I had a moment to check in so I did. Hope all is well XOXO

I'm back... ha for a moment anyway.

Well is has been a while since Halloween i believe. We are alive and doing as well as we can. Exciting news for us is that Little Man is going to be a big brother this summer! So we can't wait.
