No More Training Wheels!!!!

Caleb started riding without training wheels yesterday. It just took Marc running beside him for a few steps and he took off. He did so awesome and no big falls yet. The transition couldn't have gone smoother! Today he insisted on learning how to start on his own. He even told a neighbor that came to help that he could do it, and he eventually did. Man was that hard to watch and not go help (especially when the man came out of his house to try and help!). Anyway, he is VERY proud of himself and now wants to ride all the time.

These pics were taken when we first went out to the field near our house. Marc thought that was best since there was lots of room and if he fell it would be on the grass.

First boat trip for the summer

At the end of May it was finally warm enough to take the boat out. The kids were scared at first but started to have fun after a few minutes. We stopped and went for a swim. Caleb LOVED jumping off the back of the boat. Jessica spent the whole time trying to give us Noodles.

Cowgirl

Jessica sleeps with the rocking horse next to her bed. She likes to pet it and talk to it before she falls asleep. It's really cute. One night she fell asleep with her hat on.

Easter Pictures

The kids got to have Easter egg hunts at school and again at church. They have more candy that Hershey's!

Elissa

The Houston Yacht Club was hosting the annual Elissa Regatta the weekend we went down for Marc's reunion. My parents had the privilege of going sailing on her the week or so before. Since it was so close to their house we decided to take the kids to see her, and I wanted to see her again too.

When I was in 5th and 6th grade I got to sleep on board as part of a Marine Biology camp I attended. One of the times we had to get up and cook breakfast in this galley the next morning. It was in July and soooooo hot.

This wonderful man took Caleb all over the ship. He showed him all kinds of neat things and answered all of Caleb's questions. He even let him sit at the navigation station and talked to him about the charts and instruments. Caleb loved it!

At one point this person came by in a kayak. We noticed they stopped and realized it was to talk on a cell phone!

No pool boy...

We don't have a pool so a young pool boy would be too obvious. Instead I got myself a sexy gardener!

Pet Book

Caleb's class has been working on making 17 books. I thought we would get Caleb's work at the end of the year but it turns out we will get one of the completed books. I decided to take pictures of they books as they come home with him. Here is the pet book.
