Army crawling

Caleb can now pull himself across the room, though he still prefers to roll.  Mommy has to rediscover a new motivational technique every time she wants him to perform!  Sometimes he'll roll around side to side a few times before realizing he has to move forward to reach what he wants!  So funny!!!

PS...happy one year anniversary to this blog!!!!!  A year ago we divulged we were having a boy!  Awwwwww Caleb...I love you so much.

He is Risen!

He is Risen Indeed!!!

This year's Easter Celebrations included egg dying, farm animals, pony rides, hay rides, egg hunts, Grandma Linda, pedicures, and swimming.  Yes...swimming! 

Savannah loved doing the "primary colors" experiment first

Waiting 5 minutes per round wasn't easy, but she loved fishing the colored eggs out!

We have some friends who own a ranch here in town and they throw an Easter party every year.  This year they included a petting zoo and pony rides in addition to the traditional hay rides and egg hunts!

I had to hold on to Caleb extra tight because the animals excited him!

First egg hunt of the weekend.

Already scoping out her next egg....

It's a good thing I didn't give her a bigger basket

Chowing down on CANDY!

Grandma Linda came down for the weekend baring her usual load of gifts and pleasantries.  She treated Savannah and I to pedicures!!!  Matt was sick most of the weekend so it was extra nice to have Grandma around.

A wagon full of presents and Savannah was most excited about the Peeps

Grandma brought the kids a little table!  They love it!

Grandma Linda does the BEST pedicures!

And....she's off!

Not yet two-and-a-half and she's got this egg hunt perfected!

This brings us up to about 10am Easter Sunday.  Phew.  No wonder it has taken me a full week to tackle this blog entry!  After church we had a bunch of friends over for Easter ham...and somehow everyone but me ended up in the pool.  The green pool.  So gross.  So embarrassing.  But so fun!!!  We stayed up until almost midnight playing games and eating.  Hmmm...no wonder I've been exhausted this week.

Uncovering the pool to discover the green

Savvy in her skibbies (before I got smart and dug out her suit)

Enjoying the "Hot" tub

Yup, Matt got pushed in

My little water baby

Hunk a Chunk surrounded by the ladies!

 A special thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, who was Crucified some 2000+ years ago and rose to life three days later...all to save a sinner like you and me.

Caleb is 7 Months!

Caleb is 7 months old and he's on the move!  Sorta.  He's a rolly polly at least.  He can roll across a room faster than you can blink.  He's also starting to get his hips up and inch forward which is very exciting.  He finally prefers to be on his tummy and he's much happier for it.  Oh oh oh....he has teeth!!!  His middle bottom teeth came in late last month.  With every passing day he is looking more and more like his daddy :-)
