Caelan

Caelan saw the picture I took of him sitting on the picnic bench and decided to update it to suit his style!  I have to admit... it's pretty cool!

Brothers...

Family is such an important part of my life... I grew up in a big family and having those bonds with my siblings has been so important to me.  This past year has shown me again how much my family means to me.

 I have seen Cody and Garrett bonding on many occasions and aside from the fact that it is absolutely adorable... it warms my heart that they will be close. 

 I see them bonding with Caelan as well.  Caelan was at first a little overwhelmed with being a big brother to two instantly, but he has adjusted and he loves them very much.  How awesome is it for all three of them to have each other.  

A Lovely Afternoon...

A few weeks ago it was so nice outside that all of us... me and the 4 males of the house... went outside to" play."  Cody was kicking his soccer ball around, and just running (that kid does love to run).  Garrett was crawling around, and watching all of us (this was a short while before he started walking on his own... which he does very well now).  Caelan was playing catch with me. 

Now I have never been great at sports.  I was much more the Band Geek, photography, year book, kind of Gal in High School.  So, even though I have 3 brothers I never really threw a football very well.  So, after a little instruction ( he had to teach me I was the only one to play catch with at the time... Brian was not home yet )  Anyway... he showed me how to hold the ball and we were off.  I found out that I am pretty good at throwing the ball, but really not great at catching it.  LOL pretty much could have called that one!

  Once Brian got home he changed and came down to "play" some too!  Cody and I kicked the soccer ball back and forth, and watch the big boys throw the football.  They let Cody in on the fun some too!  All in all it was really a lovely afternoon.  

Some Catching Up to do...

 So much for keeping up with my blog and with posting at least once a week!  LOL So, I have some post I will make in the next couple of day to get me caught up.  But I am going to start from where I am today... for today! Cody and Garrett are with their Dad this week so it's just the three of us.  Caelan had a football game today and Brian and I both we able to go. He has had many games but they start at 4pm, which makes it really hard for us to make it.  It was really fun and we all had a great time.  He made some great hits!
