Father's Day Gift

Mommy took Caelyn to Michael's to make Daddy a Father's Day present, a duct tape wallet for all of his "big monies".

Happy Birthday Cayson!!!

Cayson has celebrated his first birthday!!! We are so excited!! This year has gone by so fast and he has gotten so big. He went to the doctor and he is 18.7 pounds and is 29.5 inches long. He has four teeth and two more coming in. He is so close to walking. He can take a few steps on his own. We think we will be walking before the end of the month. His eyes are still blue-green. He is a good eater and sleeper. His sister loves him to pieces. He is talking up a storm. He is just such a special little boy!!! He had a good time at his mini party, just us. He tried to cram the entire cupcake in his mouth. Mom had to scoop some out, but he loved it!!

What's wrong with this picture?

Not the sun's reflection!! Caelyn put her nighttime pull-up on over her underwear. Luckily she was dry. I guess she thought she needed double protection.

Open House at Scared Heart School

Caelyn will be starting Sacred Heart School in the fall. Daddy took her to open house to check out her new school. She had a really good time and has not stopped talking about her new school since. She got to sit in a fire truck, ride on a city bus, ride a pony, go in the bouncy house, make a tool box, explore her new classroom, and of course, get her face painted. I think she will go to school everyday if she gets to eat cotton candy!! She even saw one of her friends from dance class who will also be starting in the fall.

Dance recital

Caelyn had her first dance recital. It was really nice. She did a really good job and so did Daddy. Wesley and Jana got to come see Caelyn and Chad perform. It was a packed house and there were many performances. Video and professional pictures will follow when we get them in the mail.

Arts Festival and Operation Safe Child

We took Caelyn and Cayson to the Schenectady Arts Festival where they got fingerprinted for Operation Safe Child. They had a bit of a hard time getting a print from Cayson with his small fingers. Caelyn enjoyed the art projects and getting to meet Zimmer the crime fighting dog.

Caelyn's gymnastics meet

Caelyn has been in gymnastics all year and was looking forward to the gymnastics meeting and becoming the next Dominique Dawes:). She did pretty good. It is really funny to watch her because she is so distracted by everything and everyone around her and she wants to do everything so fast. Cayson likes watching his sister compete. Coach Anne helped Caelyn on the floor and Coach Mom help Caelyn stay focused.
