Updates

Can't believe it has been almost 3 months since I posted. I'm really slacking. I hope that I can catch everyone up. Hang on, it is going to be a lengthy one. I'm still a Stay-at-Home Mom and love it - even though it is very trying sometimes. I am truly blessed to have such a WONDERFUL husband that lets me be home during these great years of Caylee-Graces' life. I thank the good Lord everyday for that.

So what is Caylee-Grace up to these days you may ask? Can't believe that in less then 2 weeks she will be 3 years old. Well, she say and does any and everything. We really need cameras all through the house because we never can catch the good, funny things on camera. I wonder sometimes where she comes up with the things she does and says. Things she loves to do now are: playing with her babies, playing dress up (she loves shoes), loves to play tent, loves outside and playing with her friends. She has started the pretend stuff as well. She is really a smart girl. She can count to 20, say her abc's and she has also said her first bible verse, Gen 1:1. She loves to sing bible songs also (she has an acappla cd she listens to in the car and has to have it LOUD) She even sings some during worship. I'm so proud of her. She isn't potty trained yet and isn't even interested in it. I so wanted her to be potty trained before she was 3 but that isn't going to happen. I guess she will do it in her own time. I've tried stickers, potty dance songs, everything and NOPE she wont. She said she wears diapers. I told her soon she will have to change her own diaper, because I tired of it. She loves to watch Max & Ruby, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Blues Clues and Miss Spider and the Sunny Patch Friends. We stopped letting her watch SpongeBob - way to much drama and too fast for her. We don't like SpongeBob.

Well the end of July, we went to Randals Fathers lakehouse to spend the night and visit. CG has some fun. We went down to the pier and blew bubbles, she found a water board and played on it.





Then in August, Candace and I took Asa and CG to see Jack in the Benstalk which they really enjoyed. CG wouldn't get her picture made with actors but Ezra and Asa did.














September, we went one night to the park for a movie (Yogi Bear) and splashpad a few times and had lots of birthday parties in between, which included my birthday. Some fun times with her friends Asa, Skylar and Eva and Matthew

Last weekend in September we went camping with my parents at Tannehill and CG absolutely loved camping. We had a blast, we played cards, did a lot of walking and they had their halloween decorations out so we enjoyed taking CG out at night to see all the lights and decorations. We stayed 5 nights and 6 days. We had a marshmellow roast but CG wouldn't eat any so I had to eat them. We also had some friend come down and bring some fish they had caught and we played cards and ate fish. We definetly will be going camping again next year. Here are some pictures.

Then yesterday we took her to The Great Pumpkin Patch. She really enjoyed picking out her very own pumpkin. She wouldn't play in the inflatable jumping toys but we rode the wagon over to pick the pumpkin. It was such a great day to be outside and enjoy family time.

We are leaving Sunday for the Smoky Mountains for a few days of r & r. Then when we get back, I have to rush to get her party ready. She is having a Minnie Mouse party. She loves Minnie Mouse, Dora and Princess.

A good thing that has happened since I posted last was I have lost 21 pounds and 25 1/2 inches. I feel great, I don't think I've been this thin since we first got married. I wanted to get back down to what I was before I had Caylee-Grace and I actually am 4 pounds lighter. I just let myself go and ate any and everything. It is amazing how much better you feel when you are healthier and eat better. I hope that I can maintain my weight during the holidays. Still exercising but believe it or not, not as much as I usually do. I also got my hair highlighted













Hopefully I won't wait as long in between posts this time. If anyone is even reading this. I NEVER gets any comments.
