<span style="font-size: large;">The day has finally arrived! Caleb started his first day of First Grade at a new school and he had a great day. I think I was more nervous about today than he was, so I'm super proud that he handled it so well. I'm not sure if it's something that this age group goes through or if it's just a phase for him, but he talked so much about school like he had a great day and then tonight at bedtime he told me no one would play with him. I'm sure this isn't all true, so I'm hoping tomorrow he will have a new friend to talk about!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Lily on the other hand... she didn't care for picture day at school today! Her shirt definitely does not match her attitude today! :) I hope all of our friends and family who have kiddos that started school today had a great day.

<span style="font-size: large;">Where does the time go? Seriously, and why is it so hard to keep up with this blog?!?! I really need to find a healthy balance in life (as I'm sure we all do), but what I have come to realize in the past 3 months is that too often we put the things we care about most on the back burner. I'm over that. I'm done with it. So, here I sit again catching our friends and family up on what has been happening in our lives for the past few months. Hopefully as the school year is coming to an end, I can do a better job of posting on here more often. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is going to be a long one folks, so you can read on to see what the Bordelons' have been up too, or you can just scroll through the pictures (I must say there are SEVERAL good ones) either way here is the short version of our busy-ness! :) Shortly after Lily's first birthday, we had to take her in to have tubes put in her ears. Our sweet pea kept getting ear infection after ear infection so we finally scheduled a day and had the procedure done. She did such a great job and slept most of the morning after her surgery!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">March rolled around and before I knew it we were on Spring Break with one of our favorite families, The Hendersons'. We took a long weekend trip down to San Antonio and enjoyed a rainy day at Sea World and stayed at a beautiful Marriott Hotel. The boys had such a blast.

<span style="font-size: large;">After our trip, we celebrated Chris's 34th birthday but unfortunately Lily was a little under the weather so we didn't really do much celebrating. We also had a scare with our sweet dog Noelle. We thought that we would be spending our last night with her the weekend before spring break was over, but thankfully she is doing so much better and everything is great now. We still are not sure exactly what happened to her, she either fell and hurt her back or had an embolism. Either way we are happy to say she is back to her normal mischevious self and our house is happy again! :) </span></div><div><font size="4"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4zLR1LVkHkymm4v6LYIAykxyUNCKQLyh2nJ8dn1j8WukaJfSXDdU_LdOEXieEAsoX5cQ0iwDpRpjYiL80NH0OhOJYt8S4Fg_bsdTRQy0AVBMiU7wBGaYSzD1bTDjtttI1xJSvfln8Gc9p/s640/blogger-image--896564031.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4zLR1LVkHkymm4v6LYIAykxyUNCKQLyh2nJ8dn1j8WukaJfSXDdU_LdOEXieEAsoX5cQ0iwDpRpjYiL80NH0OhOJYt8S4Fg_bsdTRQy0AVBMiU7wBGaYSzD1bTDjtttI1xJSvfln8Gc9p/s640/blogger-image--896564031.jpg"></a></div></font>
<span style="font-size: large;">Caleb started baseball at the end of March. I must admit, I had my doubts. I truly thought this was going to be a big waste of money. I can not even begin to tell you how happy I am that I was wrong about that though! I absolutely love going to watch him play. His second game he earned the game ball and I could not have been more proud of him! His Uncle Tim was there to see him as well so it made it that much more special to our little slugger! We do need to continue to work on catching and fielding, but he definitely has the hang of hitting!</span></div><div><font size="4"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeXM3m_FEr_PBk-TG5lXXTWe4gHGvfNwQxePUmSdDLGWFPDd44ltY07beQUV2thyKvA4YSqPiGXunEC6OH2XXctHlHHN6u-oV0hCLRMTd_02UiqXPg_wKCcrVng82oA6jypDcd4AjMaTYX/s640/blogger-image--2103109165.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeXM3m_FEr_PBk-TG5lXXTWe4gHGvfNwQxePUmSdDLGWFPDd44ltY07beQUV2thyKvA4YSqPiGXunEC6OH2XXctHlHHN6u-oV0hCLRMTd_02UiqXPg_wKCcrVng82oA6jypDcd4AjMaTYX/s640/blogger-image--2103109165.jpg"></a></div><br></font>

As we were preparing to celebrate this milestone in Lily's life, I found myself overwhelmed with happiness & sadness at the same time. My very last baby is growing up! It's all I can do to love & cuddle on her as much as I can because time is going WAY. TO. FAST!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So our day started off with a few doctor visits. The first visit was to the ENT. Yes, she will be getting tubes due to the many ear infections she's experienced over the last few months. Hopefully we will find out tomorrow if she can get them this week! After the ENT we headed to our favorite pediatrician's office. Our birthday girl weighed in at 19 pounds 11 ounces and was 29 1/2 inches long. Everything checked out and as much as we love Dr. Coco, we hope once she gets her tubes she is much healthier and we don't have to make as many visits!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The next day our little snowflake was ready to party! We decided to keep it small and low key this year so we could just enjoy Lily and her day. We still had a ton of delicious food; courtesy of Grandma, Papa & Nana and yummy cupcakes from <a href="http://www.smallcakescupcakery.com/">SmallCakes</a>! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Lily loved her cake, presents and all of the attention that she was getting. I would say overall her favorite part of the day was the cake!:-)</span></div>

Needless to say, we have had a busy last few months of the year. August is always busy with the start of school and Caleb's birthday.

<span style="font-size: large;">Then November rolled around and we moved into our new home! What a process this was, but we finally made it and we love everything about our cozy new place. We had our first Thanksgiving here with my family and even enjoyed an extra special treat when my Gramps decided to make the trip to Texas as well.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">For Christmas this year, we headed further south to New Orleans. We had a wonderful time celebrating the holidays with Nana and Papa, Mother, Gran and Pa, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We stuffed our faces with beignets, raw oysters, chargrilled oysters, po'boys, and so many other things. We only get to see some of them every couple of years so the time spent together is always a happy and fun one.</span></div>

Overall, 2013 was full of many blessings. We welcomed our beautiful baby girl into the world, Caleb started Kindergarten and LOVES school, we found our church home and became members, we filled a new home with lots of love, and so much more. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm excited about starting a new year today and I cannot wait to see what blessing God has in store for us in 2014. My wish for this year is that all of our friends and family are just as blessed as we are and that everyone stops to take time and appreciate the things that truly matter in life. It's easy to get wrapped up in the negativity, the things going wrong or the things we don't have. My goal this year is to love a little more, stress a little less, and appreciate the things that I have because it is so much more than many others in this world. </span></div>

My sweet Caleb,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today is such a big day for you. It is the beginning of your official school journey. I know you have been in "school" before, but this time it's a little different. From the moment you step through those elementary school doors, you will no longer be a baby... you're a big kid now going to big kid school. Even though I'm sad that you are growing up, I'm so excited that I will get to share in all of your memories with you because I will be right across the hall!</div>

I want you to know how proud I am of you. You are an incredible little boy who can do anything that you put your mind to. Every day you amaze me. The words you say, things you know, your big heart, friendly demeanor, your curiosity, and the love you have for learning are just a few things that are going to help you in school. Always believe in yourself and never give up even when things are hard because there will be moments when it will be difficult. School is a very fun and exciting place, but sometimes it can be mean and scary too. You will find out that not everyone wants to be your friend or always wants to play with you. Just remember that you define who you are, nobody else can do that but you. I hope that you are always kind to everyone even if they are not that nice to you. You will be tempted to make bad choices, but try your best to remember the difference between right and wrong. Always tell the truth, even if it gets you in trouble and remember that Daddy and I love you no matter what so you can ALWAYS tell us anything. Listen to everything Mrs. Kindred teaches you, she is a smart lady and she will teach you things that Daddy and I have forgotten about. Be helpful and respectful, it's extremely important. </div>

You will be in my thoughts all day today. Even though I will only be feet away from you, I will be wondering what you are doing all day, are you listening to your teacher, did you make any new friends, are you okay, will you get your lunch finished in time or will you spend your whole lunch time talking and if you are missing us; your family. I hope that when you walk your energetic self over to my classroom after school I will get to hear all about how your day went; what you liked or didn't like, new friends names, who you sit with at your table, what you think about your teacher... truth is though I will probably get the answer, "We played" or "I don't remember." To be honest, that's perfectly okay, as long as you still give me a big hug when I see you.</div>

Kindergarten will be one of your favorite places. I have so many hopes and wishes for you this school year but mainly I just want you to be happy. We will have to make up a secret code just for you and I, that way when I see you in the hall we can make our secret code and neither one of us will get in trouble for talking in line. I love you to the moon and back buddy, I hope you know you are always in my heart.</div>

<br />
<br />
I sit here tonight full of mixed emotions. I should be in bed due to the fact that I have to go to work tomorrow, but my heart is too heavy to sleep. Last Wednesday, my "Weebs" (grandma) fell ill. When my mom called me to tell me that it wasn't good, I was in the car with Caleb. I began to cry uncontrollably in front of him. As soon as he saw me crying our conversation went something like this:<br />
<br />
Caleb: Mommy, why are you so sad?<br />
Me: Well, Great-Grandmother isn't feeling well and she is probably going to Heaven soon.<br />
<em>Long Pause</em>....<br />
Caleb: Don't worry Mommy, Heaven is a happy place and you will get to see her again one day. You still have me, Lily, Daddy, Grandma & Grandpa, and Great-Grandfather too.<br />
Me: You're right baby, Heaven is a happy place and I am so blessed to still have all of you with me. I will just miss Great-Grandmother.<br />
Caleb: I know Mommy, but it will be ok.<br />
<br />
My sweet little boy had so much wisdom in that moment of sadness, he had that same wisdom tonight when I sat down with him to tell him that Great-Grandmother left us to go live in Heaven. I was in the middle of giving him his bath when I told him that she passed away. He looked at me and said, "She will be ok Mommy, she no longer hurts and she's happy in Heaven." How incredibly true those words are.<br />
<br />
My heart still hurts knowing that my grandmother has left us, but I find peace in the fact that she is in a place where there is no pain, hurt, tears or sadness and she gets to live an eternal life with her Savior that is full of love, grace, comfort and happiness. Instead of focusing on the sadness, I'm going to think about all the memories of Weebs. Things like homemade pies (usually pumpkin or lemon meringue because of my brothers) and cinnamon rolls, hanging clothes on a clothesline, a blue-ish purple three wheeler, fresh vegetables from the garden, lots of sweets, playing card games like "you know" (that's how she pronounced UNO), dressing up in her jewelry and bright red lipstick, coin purses, getting voice messages from her that sound like she's reading a letter and ending it with LOVE GRANDMA, birthday cards that weren't signed so we could re-gift them to someone else, her kind and gentle spirit and most of all her laughter. Once you got her started she couldn't stop and the best part about it, was that it was always contagious!<br />
<br />
I'm so grateful for this summer and that I was able to take my children to spend time in Illinois with my family. Weebs was able to meet both of my children... four generations, that's pretty rare and special, just like her. She truly was one of a kind, there is no question about that. I hope that when I get my chance to be with her again, she will have a piece of pie and a game of "you know" waiting for me. I love you, Weebs. As much as I will miss you here on Earth, I know you are so happy to be home. <br />

I noticed towards the end of our visit in Illinois, Lily was starting a dry cough. I didn't think anything of it at first and chalked it up to be just the difference in the weather. Once we got home though, her cough didn't get any better, it progressively got worse. She was waking up in the middle of the night coughing so hard and gagging herself... it was absolutely awful. I called her pediatrician and set up an appointment to bring her in. Her cough started to make her gag and then from there she began vomiting. Of course, when I took her to the doctor she showed NONE of these symptoms to him. From the information I gave him he thought that she was developing a severe case of reflux. This all started 2 Thursdays ago. Over the weekend, Lily wasn't getting any better. In fact, it was getting worse by the day and Chris and I weren't sleeping. She would wake herself up gasping for air and making a horrible sound. I called Monday morning and took her back to the doctor. Once again, she showed nothing but happiness with Dr. Coco, however he knows we are not the type of parents that just bring our kids in for every little thing. He decided that Lily needed to see a GI specialist, but went ahead and gave her an antibiotic for her cough even though her lungs were clear. The following day we went to see yet another doctor. Thankfully (as scary as they are) she had a few coughing spell while we were there and finally somebody with a medical degree witnessed what we have been experiencing for 2 weeks now. She was being weighed on the scale in the hallway and it was so bad that the doctor came running out of her office not knowing if she was ok or not. Once we began talking to her she told us that she didn't think Lily had reflux. She wanted us to go get an x-ray to make sure she didn't swallow something or had a blockage in her airway. If the x-ray came back clear, she thought it would be a good idea to see a pulmonologist because she could have whooping cough.... WHAT?!?!?! Scary!!!!! That same day we went to have an x-ray done and the results came back negative. After talking to our pediatrician, he decided that we should come back in and he would do the pertussis test on her but we wouldn't get the results back for a few days. Three doctors visits in one day. My poor sweet pea had been through the ringer, but she was still happy as can be. I'm sure all of my mommy friends can only imagine at this point the thoughts that are running through my head. I have a sick child and there is absolutely nothing I can do for her to help her feel better. I was literally emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausted. Later that night, my mom calls to tell me that my grandfather had a stroke. I was pretty upset the rest of the night and I know Chris was worried about me so he decided to stay home and help me with the kids the next day. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Our sweet pediatrician was so worried about her that on Wednesday he actually called on his day off to check on her. He was very concerned especially since he has never heard her do any of this himself and told us not to hesitate to call him if we felt the need to. Wednesday and Thursday were fairly decent days for Lily. She didn't have too many coughing spells and she seemed to hold down most of her feedings, we thought for sure she was doing better. Thursday evening, that all changed. Chris was on his way home from work and I honestly didn't think he could have gotten home fast enough. We were noticing that over the past 24 hours she didn't have much of an appetite or as many wet diapers. I was feeding her around 5 o'clock and she took about 2 ounces of milk. She went into a coughing spell and then began to vomit. I have never been more scared in my entire life!! It just coming up over and over again, I truly didn't think it was going to ever stop. Once she finally did stop, I picked up the phone and called Dr. Coco. At that point he had enough as well and made a conference call to 2 of the doctors at Children's. Apparently they had spoke about Lily earlier because her doctor still was not ok with what was going on with her and was afraid that maybe she needed to be admitted to the hospital. After Chris got home, we headed off to the hospital where once again she was acting perfectly fine. The ER doctor was one of the doctors that our pediatrician talked to about Lily earlier that day so he already had some background info. He wanted us to go ahead and feed her while we were there since she had not had anything since the afternoon and it was already about 9 o'clock at night. Luckily, while we were in the ER she had another spell and began to vomit again. After her milk, they decided to try pedialyte and she couldn't even keep that down. Since she was projectile vomiting and she was already mildly dehydrated the admitted us to the hospital for observation. </span><br />

After being pumped full of fluids, lovebug was doing so much better. She started keeping her food down and having more wet diapers. We got her tests results back the following morning and she tested positive for pertussis or whooping cough. Basically, she is no longer contagious however it could take quite some time for her to get over this nasty, scary, infection. We have to be sure that she doesn't start running a fever, keeps her food down and recovers from her coughing spells, the 100 day cough... I DO NOT LIKE YOU!! Seriously friends, this is not something to mess with when you have wee ones. It's exhausting, heartbreaking, scary, frightening, and I wish it would go away. Our little baby girl is handling it like a champ though and she just keeps smiling that big beautiful smile of hers, hopefully she will mend from this quickly.</div>

We kicked it off by a trip to the ER in Springfield, Missouri, about 10 minutes after we got there. What happened you ask? Well, Caleb sliced his finger open in the hotel room! Since we literally just arrived to the hotel, mom stayed with Lily and Dad and I went to the hospital. Three stitches and an orange popsicle later, we were settled in for the night to get some rest for the remainder of our drive the following day.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Once we actually made it to Illinois, our fun began. Our sweet pumpkin turned 5 months old can you believe it?! Where does the time go?!? </span><span style="font-size: large;">Our days were full of playing Ninja Turtles, with cousins, grandparents, great-grandparents and so much more! Caleb was in heaven watching fireworks, going to a parade and making s'mores with his big cousins.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">What I love the most about going home other than seeing my family, is that I'm reminded of what my childhood was like and I get to see Caleb and Lily experience a little bit of that. The neighborhood that my brother lives in is full of kids and they thought it would be fun to make their own 4th of July parade! They walked, rode bikes, pulled wagons, carried flags, played patriotic music, threw candy and shouted, "U.S.A" around 2 whole blocks! :) It was by fair the best parade I have ever been too! Later that night after dinner we all sat out on the back porch, looking out at the pond, eating s'mores and lighting sparklers.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So once again, here I am posting a few months late and like always... giving updates on what has happened over the past month and a half. My last post was in April so I'm going to jump ahead to the month of May where we kicked off the month with a baby shower for my Bestie! It was the perfect girls day as Lily and I got to honor our BFFs and to spoil Ninnie and Baby Alyssa rotten.</span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For Mother's Day this year, Chris and the kids took me out to breakfast and then we headed to the Ft. Worth Zoo. It was the perfect way to spend the day with my little loves and with my mom. Like always, Caleb loved running around with his map finding all of the different animals and telling us the interesting facts he knew about them. </span></div>

Lily and I will head that way the last weekend in June and then Chris will come in July. We are looking forward to spending some time with our family and having a relaxing summer.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you are a reader of our sweet little blog, you will know how much I ADORE the <a href="http://www.chellecates.com/">Mrs. Chelle Cates</a> and the amazing pictures she takes of our family. That's why last week when she emailed me to see if we were interested in being the models for her Mommy and Me mini session I was so extremely excited! You would be a fool to say no to that question!! :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Last Wednesday, we drove to McKinney to meet Chelle in this beautiful wooded dreamy area and spent time together just appreciating the little moments. After the week that our country had, it really made me stop and think about how it is so very easy to get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of life. Here are a few fairy tale shots that Chelle was able to capture:</span><br />

I cannot believe my precious little Lily is two months old already. It seems like we waited (or I actually waited since I was on bed rest) so long for her arrival, and now that she is here time won't slow down. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I started back to work this month and while it was hard to leave her, it helped knowing that my parents were here to take care of her. We are so very lucky that our families are able to take time off and spend time with her so she does not have to go to daycare right away. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On Friday, I took Lily for her two month checkup and our wonderful pediatrician told us she is perfectly healthy. We are so very blessed to have two healthy beautiful children. Our biggest struggles right now with this little one is a rash on her neck and enjoying too much sleepy time on peoples chests!! She might be a tad bit spoiled, but that's ok!! :) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lily's 2 month stats:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Weight: 10lbs. 13oz.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Height: 23in.</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Have I ever told you guys how much I L-O-V-E our photographer?!?! Well, I do!!! She takes the best pictures ever & no matter how mischievous my little Caleb is, she captures his exuberant personality every single time. She let's my funny little six year old be crazy, silly like he normally is and my beautiful, tiny bundle of joy be peaceful the way she normally is. It's true what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. I love looking at our photographs from </span><a href="http://www.chellecates.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Chelle</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> and without a doubt being able to see all the love and happiness in them. Her patience and joy for what she does is definitely felt during her sessions and clearly can be seen in any photograph taken. If you live in the DFW area and want memories you will cherish forever... let me know, I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">This past week was crazy busy and fun at our house. My oldest brother and his family came down from Illinois and spent a few days here with us. Caleb was so excited because he does not get to see his cousins very often and he absolutely adores them. We didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with them since they had to travel to Houston as well, but we made the most of it while they were here!</span><br />

Would he be angry? Would he get upset? Feel left out? What if he starts misbehaving at school? Maybe he won't understand why we have to give her so much attention. Oh no, what if he HATES her?!?!?! With all of the mommy questions/worries that I had, the one thing that I forgot to consider is the fact that I was talking about Caleb here! This kid is pretty awesome and not much phases him. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I was focusing on all the things that I knew Caleb struggled with instead of what I love about him the most... his kind heart. I mean this is the kid that cried one day because 2 dogs were running around on the street, in the pouring rain and he was afraid they would get struck by lighting. After much debate on why they couldn't come inside our house, he convinced me to open the garage door so they would have a dry place to lay until the rain stopped... we also had to call the "dog helper" to come take them to their home. This is also the same kid who for 9 months asked almost every day when his baby was going to be here. What was I so worried about?!?!?!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From the moment that Lily came into this world, Caleb has absolutely loved her. He wants to help with everything, well minus the diaper changes that is! :) While there has been times that he doesn't always understand why her needs tend to come first right now, overall he has been so patient and loving with her. The best part of all of it is seeing how proud he is of her and how he likes to show her off to anyone and everyone! Talk about melting a mom's heart!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">He loves his little sister so very much! Every morning he kisses her good bye and tells her to have a good day, and every afternoon he comes home and tells her how his day was at school. He helps bathe her, feed her, play with her, protects her, reads to her, tells her jokes, talks to her, holds her hand, cuddles... I could not be more proud of this special little boy and how he adores his baby sister!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">WE HAD A BABY! A beautiful baby girl who has completely captured our hearts and has made our family whole. I love her to pieces, Daddy is already wrapped around her little finger, and Caleb absolutely ADORES his baby sister. He is a fantastic big brother! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Lillian Harper Bordelon (also known as Lily) blessed us with her presence on January 31, 2013. She was 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20 inches long. I know what you are thinking, January 31st?? Ummmm hello, you are already a month behind again!! I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?! Hopefully this time around (which I think it's like the third time I've tried to update) I will stick with it. Keep your fingers crossed! ;-)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Life with two has been fun so far. I was panicking that it would be crazy, which it is, but crazy is our new normal and we love it. Sleep is like finding gold in our house, as you can see! :) Caleb is still Caleb and sleep is not something he requires. Maybe one of these days he will be big enough to keep an eye on his sister while Daddy and I refuel!</span></div>

You spend all of this time preparing for this big event, and then the next thing you know it's over in a flash. Christmas this year seemed to be just that, a flash! Because our families live in two different parts of the country, we have to alternate our Christmases and this year we headed down south to Louisiana to spend Christmas with Chris's family. We had a celebration at our house the day before we left so there wouldn't be so many things to travel with and then the next day Caleb and I were on a plane to New Orleans. The Sunday before we left though, Nana, Papa, Uncle Kent and his girlfriend came over so we could exchange gifts.</span><br />

It was nice going a day earlier than everyone else because it gave Caleb time to spend with just his Gran and Pa who he hasn't seen in forever. The weather down South was SO BEAUTIFUL, that we took Caleb to the park that his Daddy grew up playing at with his Pa and he met up with his cousin Lyndsie while we were there and we even helped Aunt Amy save a baby chick by getting her close to her mother.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Who would have guessed the week of Thanksgiving would have gone by so fast. After a very short and sad trip back up North, we made our way back to Texas to enjoy the holidays with Nana & Papa.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The day before Thanksgiving, while everyone else was preparing for the big feast, we decided it would be a good night to take Caleb to see what the big fuss over <a href="http://www.gaylordhotels.com/gaylord-texan/lone-star-christmas/ice-experience/index.html?intcmp=gp-pl=lNav-cid=lsc-ice">ICE</a> is all about. WOW!! Let me start off by saying that I did not realize how big the <a href="http://www.gaylordhotels.com/texan-home.html?source=www.gaylordtexan.com">Gaylord Texan</a> is! It seemed like we walked forever and a day to get to where the cold icy land started. We did have to stop and admire all the wonderful trains and Christmas decorations the hotel had to offer and we actually got a few good shots in the process with the camera!</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is where the fun really began! Our first stop was the ice slides and every single one of us went tubing down the slide... even NANA!! :) The pictures from the slide turned out blurry so I don't have very many to show, but let me just tell you that this was probably the best part of the night. Watching Caleb's sweet little face as he zoomed down the slide was pure happiness!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
My heart hurts today. I cry for a woman that is undeniably amazing, I cry for people that make up the family of an incredible man, I cry for 228 Winding Lane, and I cry for another family that was without a doubt fortunate to be raised next door to 2 of the most wonderful human beings on the face of this Earth.<br />
<br />
Wilbert E. Brandon, "Wib", or Wib-head as my Dad called him, became the angel he was always meant to be today. I imagine that if he had any say in it with God, his wings are distinguished with Chicago Cub emblems on them, with the hopes that he will still see them win a World Series someday from the BEST seats in the house! He was a man of many characteristics, but the only ones that I ever knew or saw were kind, loving, passionate, loyal, trustworthy, honest, dependable, and humble to name a few. While he was not related to me by blood, he very much was apart of my family in my heart. <br />
<br />
I grew up next door to this wonderful man, and many of my childhood memories involve him and his wife. For as long as I can remember, I have ALWAYS considered Mr. and Mrs. Brandon apart of my family, they were my grandparents next door. The memories that flow through my mind right now are those of Mr. Brandon whistling at my brothers and I through his bedroom window as we pulled in the driveway coming home from ballgames. It never failed that he would be there waiting to find out if we won or lost... no matter how late it was. Through that same window, you could always count on there being a HAPPY BIRTHDAY sign to whoever's birthday it was in my house. He had this super cool blue mo-ped that he would take out for a spin around the neighborhood especially when his granddaughters were visiting... I was lucky enough to be considered apart of that special group of girls and he never left me out. I remember hot summer days walking next door to find him sitting in a lawn chair out in his garage watching his favorite baseball team on an old tv with a box fan in front of him, his huge freezer full of popsicles which he always remembered to give me anytime I was over there. He was there... always. Birthdays, baseball games, school programs, trips to the hospital, barbeques, moving day, family losses, even the funny moments such as your oldest brother falling through the ceiling (true story) or your other brother crawling out the back door because of smoke from a piece of burnt toast! Even after we moved to Texas, him and his wife were still very much apart of our lives.<br />
<br />
I consider my family, the family that grew up next door, just as blessed as his real family to have known and loved him. He truly was one of a kind and to know him was a privilege. I can garuantee that anyone that knew him would say the same thing. He loved us unconditionally... he may not have said it very often, but we all knew and felt it. I don't know what heaven is like, but I do know that it just got a little bit better. What I adored the most about this man is his gentle eyes, his loving smile, and his hearty laugh. I will miss him everyday, but I know he lives in my heart and he is watching over all of us from above.<br />
<br />
Rest in peace Wib. I hope heaven is filled with a comfy chair, remote control, tv, and a winning cubs season for you! Thank you for being the man you were to my family and loving us like we were your very own. I LOVE YOU!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Today was one of those days where I feel like things happened for a reason. Have you ever had one of those days before?! Well, mine started of with all of the fun Thanksgiving activities I had planned for my little firsties. We were doing an "I am thankful for..." activity when one of my sweet little boys touched my heart with his writing by saying he was thankful for what he has and how it made him happy. A little back story on this special kiddo... he lost his mom this summer to cancer. To hear a 7 year old tell you that he is just grateful for what he has in his life is heart wrenching, but also very humbling. </span><span style="font-size: large;">As the day went on I decided to visit one of my favorite little family <a href="http://i-love-baby-feet.blogspot.com/">blogs </a> and saw this sweet post. Now I've seen a lot of this on my new obsession with <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Cara's idea about making this a family tradition.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So often we take life for granted and the blessings that God has given us. So this holiday season my family and I are starting a tradition of giving back. Hopefully this is something that we can continue to do each month through out the year since people are ALWAYS in need, not just at Christmas time. My hope is that by sharing this idea, it will spread to each person that reads just like it spread to me by reading Cara's blog! So, put on your thinking hats people and let's all do away with the selfishness and join in the RACK'ING fun!! You never know who's heart you could potentially touch!</span><br />

I celebrated my 31st birthday in my home state and we went to "Chicajo" for the weekend. Caleb had a hard time pronouncing CHICAGO so the closests we got to it was Chicajo... it was pretty cute! Anyway, the fam and I packed up our suitcases and headed to Chicago for the weekend. It was such a beautiful perfect weekend! We flew out of Dallas, Thursday night after work and arrived at our hotel pretty late Thursday evening. I was hoping in honor of my birthday Caleb would allow all of us to sleep in a little bit but seriously, who are we kidding. So bright and early Friday morning my sweet little boy came jumping up on the bed shouting, "Wake up! The sun is out!" Since we did not have a car and we were waiting on my parents to get there we decided to order room service before heading to watch my boys in blue play!!</div><br />

A few hours later we were ready to make the drive to Wrigley Field for a Cubbies game. I was really worried Caleb wouldn't make it through the whole game, but he was SO GREAT!! He was able to take a good nap on Grandpa's shoulder before the game started so that probably helped! Of course there were lots of treats like hotdogs, ice cream, m&ms, pretzels, and other things, but he really did well. The best part of the game was the 7th inning when we were finally able to sing Take Me Out to the Ball Game. Once we were done singing Caleb was ready to go home, but he lasted a few more innings before the Cubs decided to almost blow the game and send it into extra innings! YIKES!! Anyway, we could start to feel the breeze off the lake and the sun was going down so we decided it was time to go. Even though we didn't stay for the whole game, my boys did end up winning <span style="color: blue;">GO </span><span style="color: red;">CUBBIES! </span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">So off we were to downtown Chicago and headed to <a href="http://www.sheddaquarium.com/">Shedd Aquaruim</a> which by far is probably the best aquarium I have ever been too. We had a little bit of a wait to get into it, but the day was beautiful and the aquarium is located right on Lake Michigan, GORGEOUS! We pretty much spent the whole day there and Caleb loved every second of it. We saw everything from fish and dolphins to Dora/Diego 4D and Anacondas... yes I said Anacondas. I was not a fan of that section of the aquarium. I took a picture of that thing and you will be able to see WHY I was ready to leave!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

We took showers, ate, read books, watched football and just had a relaxing end of the night!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The good thing about it was that the museum was actually apart of Navy Pier so we didn't have to be outside very long. Caleb was in exploration heaven in this place and I so wish Dallas had something like it for kids because it was fantastic!!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Caleb's favorite section! And when I say favorite I mean we had to carry him out kicking, screaming, and crying! It was definitely cool though. The area had a room that was filled with gray nets draped from the ceiling to teach the kids how to stay low to the ground during a fire and crawl through smoke. Another part of the room had phones set up to show how to dial 911 and dress up clothes for the kids to dress like firemen... ADORABLE! They also had a fire truck that the kids could climb on and a place where they could shoot water at the fire in the windows, SO COOL!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Let's PUMP IT UP!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Part II of Caleb's birthday celebration came the following weekend when we actually had his party. Earlier that year we went to a party for our sweet friend Milan who had her party at <a href="http://www.pumpitupparty.com/">Pump It Up Jr.</a> and I found myself loving the idea that it was indoors, closed to only OUR party, and I didn't have to do anything but bring a cake and take pictures... YES PLEASE!!! So this summer I made that phone call and we were set. I'm so glad we decided to have it <a href="http://www.pumpitupparty.com/">here</a> because everything about it was fantastic! The staff was AMAZING with the kids, it was cool (weather wise and fun wise), relaxed and best of all the kids had a BLAST! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a party place idea. The Frisco location was outstanding, seriously!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, on to the party details. Since I was actually able to concentrate and focus on the party this year I found myself reviewing a ton of pictures for this post, so we are going to break it down into parts!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Better late than never though right?! So on August 30th, my sweet little boy turned 4 years old. Little boy is definitely what he is now. Since his actual birthday fell on a weekday we had a regular day of school and work, then just had the family get together at Gattitown for a mini celebration. Nana, Aunt Ashley, Grandma and Grandpa all showed up and we had a fun night of pizza, a movie, and games! The day started with the birthday boy in his birthday shirt and a crazy wet head thanks to Daddy!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8_VU3aN1WnbAwmWYSxuIv-OtxcehrjEfgFJ7vyUZAccsWZPYJk_n7fbOXO8GgXG6_o_Ut-gLRaUWwU_khwKz3JPmx4dTZXKN_6uOzqyvFjk10H_n2q5mVODalfiDjhpzkMcTMazR0yU5q/s1600/IMG_0915.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8_VU3aN1WnbAwmWYSxuIv-OtxcehrjEfgFJ7vyUZAccsWZPYJk_n7fbOXO8GgXG6_o_Ut-gLRaUWwU_khwKz3JPmx4dTZXKN_6uOzqyvFjk10H_n2q5mVODalfiDjhpzkMcTMazR0yU5q/s320/IMG_0915.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well of course that shirt didn't last all day at daycare so when we finally got home we had to change before heading out to our night at Gattitown.

Even though it was his 4th birthday, it was still a school night so we had to get going shortly after. If any of you know Caleb, you know how much he loves trains so we had to make one last stop before calling it a night.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqhuUsxnuc4JT3_Ukppr5K-hUkT3gdzBa2oj4DslT7ahWxroPsWL7c01N1S7N7pTUddV0QZrQAXXoOvk4hgIo7ZFi9PqAZ2xS2hbBNNVZc26R2toWFYgbBG6XRyeGJtiU1ZrcLFNfSB5CK/s1600/IMG_0929.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" nba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqhuUsxnuc4JT3_Ukppr5K-hUkT3gdzBa2oj4DslT7ahWxroPsWL7c01N1S7N7pTUddV0QZrQAXXoOvk4hgIo7ZFi9PqAZ2xS2hbBNNVZc26R2toWFYgbBG6XRyeGJtiU1ZrcLFNfSB5CK/s320/IMG_0929.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

My three year old started preschool last week! :( I really cannot believe how fast time goes by. Man, does that make me sound old or what?! I remember rolling my eyes everytime I heard my mom say that HA! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Last week was the first week back at school for both Caleb and I. We both had new adventures awaiting us as Monday morning rolled around. Bright and early we were up and at it back at our usual morning routine of getting dressed still half asleep, eating a quick breakfast, watching cartoons and then out the door for a long drive to school. Caleb was asking for DAYS when school was going to start because he was so excited to see his friends. I was really proud of him as he carried his Mickey Mouse backpack into school ready to learn!</span><br />

I cannot believe that he will start his first day of preschool next week... it's scary to think that Caleb is actually old enough to be one year away from possibly starting Kindergarten, OH MY WORD!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">With the stress of me starting back to school as well, I wanted to do something fun with Caleb in his final days as a 3 year old. As we drove to Sherman today, I remembered seeing a sweet little family post a blog the other day about interviewing her 4 year old and I thought this would be a great idea to do with Caleb! I mean after all the kid is all for talking about himself and telling stories! Here are a few of the questions I asked Caleb on our car ride:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Q: How old are you?</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Umm, free (three).</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Q: What makes your heart sad?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Q: Where is your favorite place to go?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I couldn't think of any more questions to ask him so I let him take a nap! :) 19 more days and I will have a 4 year old! My heart is happy and sad at the same time.</span><br />
