hot date night

So tonight me and Paul got his mom to watch the boys for what was supposed to be a few hours. We were going to go out to eat, then see a movie. We dropped the boys off at his moms house about 6:30, went to a resturant about 10 min away, & sat down. we got our drinks around 7, and ordered our food. I kid you not, as soon as the waiter left with our order, Paul got a call to come into work. They told him he just needed to weld some crush pins on a few different things and it should take about 5 min. Paul told them he had just sat down to eat, but would be there as soon as he could. We ate our food then headed out to his work which was about 20 min away from where we were and he got to workin'. Remember that "5 minute job"? Yea it turned into a nearly 4 hr job! So needless to say our date night went down the drain. But I guess as long as we were together its still a date night right? haha.

I don't know about where y'all are, but it has been hotter than hot here! It hit 105 yesterday, with no heat index. In our garage it was 110! I have a feeling that this year will be much like last year, long hot summer, and a warm "winter". sigh.

Happy Birthday!

As of 1:52 am yesterday, Caleb is officially a year old! We celebrated his birthday on Saturday, in good old mickey mouse fashion, and he had a blast!

                             

 We had hamburgers for lunch, and cake and ice cream. Then we had some visitors show up! Even though Caleb LOVES Mickey and Minnie mouse, he wasn't so sure about real life mickey and minnie. But the other kids loved them! Then we hit the pinata and opened gifts. We had a great turn out and are truly blessed with family and friends.

In the clear!

We had Caleb's consultation with the neurosurgeon on the 23rd, and while he does believe that caleb's sutures fused early, he doesn't think that there is any pressure on the brain. Therefor, NO SURGERY NEEDED!!!!! I can't tell you how much of a relief this is for Paul and I. We go back in 6 months (Oct 24) for a check up to make sure the Dr. still believes that no surgery is needed, but for now i'm considering that a win for us :)

 On another note, as of this past weekend, Ty is officially training wheel free on his bicycle! We went to max's 10th birthday party, and he wanted to ride 

Reeds' bike. Well his bike doesn't have training wheels... so i figured i'd let him ride it and just told on to him. He got on and took off, when i figured he was doing good steering himself, i let go of the handle bar and just held onto his seat. Then i figured that he was doing well with his balance and let go but ran beside him, and off he went with no training wheels, just like that. It took maybe 10 minutes. So of course when we got home he just HAD to have his daddy take off his training wheels from his bike. He's been riding "baby wheel-less" (as Ty calls it) since.

Baby Love

Caleb has a new girlfriend. Her name is Addison, and shes the most adorable blonde hair, blue eyed little girl around. Her mommy and daddy are good friends of Paul and I, and I currently watch her on Wednesdays while her parents are at work, and will soon be watching her m-f :)

Battle Ship Of Texas

I don't know if you've ever been to the battle ship of Texas, but it's a really cool thing to go see. If you're ever in Houston, you should go.
Ty has this thing about boats, cars, planes, motorcycles, four wheelers, ect. He goes absolutely nuts over them, so Paul and I thought it would be a great idea to take him down there and tour around the boat. As we walked pulled into the parking lot the first thing out of his mouth was "oh. my. gosh!" As we were walking up to the boat he said "Oh WOW! Look at this boat!" Needless to say he was super excited, so excited in fact i could barely get him to hold still long enough for pictures. I did get a few however.

We plan on buying one of those back pack carrier things for kids that people who hike use so we can go on more of these family outings. As much as I love Caleb and all of his chubbyness, he sure does get heavy and FAST, especially when you can't take a stroller to wherever your going, or there are a billion stairs up and down. So hopefully I will have more fun pictures come to you soon.

Happy Easter!

We had a blast for Easter, as usual it was packed with traveling between houses and trying to visit as much with family as possible.

I hope you all had a great Easter as well :)
