We've Been Busy

Ok... so this post is a little late. We've been very busy around here. I am sorry for the delay. Last weekend we had our family and a few friends over to celebrate Caleb's third birthday. It was a Thomas the Train party. Caleb loves those silly trains! We all had a great time celebrating with him. Here are a few pictures from the day. The trains were a big hit. All the kids enjoyed putting the different tracks together and pushing the trains around.

Notice the mess. It looks like Christmas in July!

Here is a picture of Emily at her brother's party!

This picture of Carson cracks me up. Please notice there is not a kid in sight. They ate cake and ice cream and were out of there. Then there was Carson. He so loves to eat. I gave him an ice cream cone and he was in heaven. He actually sat there for over 20 minutes all by himself eating up that cone. He was such a mess. ( He also could care less that he was there all alone!)

The birthday boy!

The next morning I found Caleb in his birthday cake. I did what any good mother would do when she saw this.... I ran and got the camera... took a few cute pictures and then told him that this was a no no! I love this picture of Caleb being busted! It is the ...I wonder if I am getting a spanking look. ( We get that look often!) As I said we have been very busy around here. The kids and I did VBS this past week. I taught the second grade class. We had a blast. Caleb was in the three and four year old group. He was only 3 years and one week old when VBS started. Needless to say he was the youngest three year old. He was all over the place. Each day when I checked him in, the worker would look at him and say, " Hey Caleb Pope... we couldn't forget you!" Now what really did that say? I think it really said, " Great, Caleb is back.... Let's find him his own worker."

Carson and Emily were in the baby room during VBS. They had a great time. Carson made quick friends with the workers and found a buddy in a older "grandpa like" man in his room. They played all morning and could be seen walking the halls of the church. As for Emily she was loved on for five days! She loved her first VBS!

Carson being caged in!

Emily learning about Jesus.

Sunday night was a family night to wrap up VBS. All the kids stood on the stage and sang songs that they learned during the week. ( Well... all but my kid.) Caleb stood there while the kids sang and just looked around checking everything out. He also sat on the stage, pulled up his shirt and yawned. I was such a proud momma. I took pictures and video of the entire thing.

After the performance the kids celebrated with a few snacks. Here are Caleb and Carson eating cupcakes and cookies to celebrate the end of VBS.

Carson such a mess.

Here is a little video from Caleb's party.
