2*22*11 Mommy and her boys. I do love my boys!!!

2*21*11 The grandparents thought that since Cedar got gifts for his birthday that the twins should as well. This was actually Carters gift, but it quickly got taken over by Calla. She is our little dress up queen. Calla the fire woman.

2*21*11 So not really thinking, I put the same candy in Carter and Calla's treat bag as I did everyone else at Cedar's party. They don't really get sweets, or at least very rarely. So once they saw the suckers I thought they should get them. They REALLY like suckers. Cedar really likes to sit on top of this table so I am glad for this moment he was politely on his knees.

2*20*11 Grandaddy and Grandmommy joined Carter and Calla for their before bed milk and to watch Little Bear. They were in town for Cedar's birthday. We always enjoy our visits.

2*20*11 Cedar had "daddy"! Calla got a doll house for Christmas or her birthday, not sure which, that came with these little people. For several weeks if not more than a month, Calla had them with her all the time. If one of the boys took them, she would get very upset. I am thinking at this time, she did not know that Cedar had "daddy" in his possession. These dolls now (may) have teeth marks and scratches all over them, so she did learn to share, or at least she got over the new of them anyway.

2*19*11 Calla sporting her valentines gift from maw-maw, a hooded frog towel. She likes to wear hoods or hats, so this was a great gift for her. Her and Carter got frogs and Cedar got a monkey.

2*9*11 We all love our wagon rides. Back then we would go often. Recently (April or so) the twins decided that they wanted to walk when we go. This is great with two adults, but not possible on my own. They do pretty good, but still have no concept of the fact that a car would squish them!

Cedar Turns One!!

Cedar Brett turned One year old on Feb 19th! He is so much fun and we could not imagine our world without him. We had a party at the Little Gym on the 20th and here are a few highlights. Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us, we all had a really great time!

Turner in the back, Cedar in the front.



Turner came to the party, he is adorable, I love this look he has!

Hayden having fun.

My oh my, he did love that cake!

After

Calla also loved the cake, and the balloons were a big hit with the twins.

Campbell looking super cute as always.

Carter enjoying the activities. His speech is still not very clear the majority of the time. It was really cute when he got done with this he said, very loud, "that was fun!" as clear as could be.

Carter giving the birthday boy a big hug!

Hannah and Calla. Two cute girls in a hole!

Emily and Hannah enjoying the big bouncy box (I have no idea what it was called!).

Geneva and Lexa (also twins) joined us for the party as well. Here Geneva was giving Cedar a kiss. This was not even prompted, just a super sweet little girl!

The Birthday Boy.

Watch out Turner, your girlfriend is checking out her options!

Turner and Campbell.

I love this picture. Calla looks so happy! Meesey must have told a good joke.

Campbell, Turner, and Cedar are all very close in age. I love that our friends kids are all so close in age, makes it really fun!

Yes of course, no matter where Carter is, he will find a plug and try to take it out of the wall and make it his. I love this guilty look he has on his face. I get to see it a lot and am really glad that I caught it on camera!

My sweet boy!

2*18*2011 Grandmommy and Cedar. Jamey's parents joined us for the weekend. It is always so good to see them. They live in Texas so the kids really enjoy visiting with them when they get to come see us!

2*19*11 This was taken on his actual birthday. Now that's a birthday picture is I ever saw one. This was the after effects of spaghetti which he loves, but thinks that it needs to cover his entire face and hair in the process.

Happy Birthday Cade and Austin!

2*13*11 The family came over to celebrate Cade and Austin's Birthdays! Cade was 9 and Austin is 18! I can not believe how old they both are! Where does the time go. Austin is a Sr in high school! And it seems like just yesterday that Cade was born! Oh my, it really does fly by.

Week two Feb 2011

2*9*11 The big snow storm of 2011. This is out back yard. The snow is up to the swings and covering everything! It was crazy.


2*9*11 Another snow pick, our back patio furniture.

2*8*11 The twins really do have a strong bond and really do love each other. When they are apart, Calla will be fine for about and hour and then she starts asking about Carter and will not stop until they are together again. Carter's speech is not as good as hers so he doesn't ask about her but he sure gets crabby when they are not together. Or he will be OK, but then the joy we see in his face when they are back together is just priceless. Here they had just gotten up from a nap and were having a snack while waiting on Cedar to wake up. They sit this close all on their own.

2*8*11
Sweet little Cedar. He thinks he is so big. He thinks that he can do everything they can and wants to do everything that they do. It is really sweet. He loves them. Carter still every know and then will just pat him on the head and say "hi, baby". Here is is climbing on his chair. He loves to stand in it and climb up on the couch and sit like his big brother and sister!
