Oh my, Cale tortured my dad's cats...

Merry Christmas...Here Comes a New Year...

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. We sure did. Cale was so much fun to watch this year...I can't imagine how next year will be with two opening gifts and running around everywhere. I am adding a few pictures that were taken on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day. Santa was extra nice to Cale this year...he got his very own Gator to ride. I will be adding video of him on the next entry so stay tuned...

Jeff, Cale and Lanna on Christmas Eve..he had his hands FULL!!!Cale opening gifts and looking through his stocking on Christmas morning.

More pics of Lanna and Cale...

Wow where does the time go...

Okay so I am back at work. I have been back for a week. It is hard to leave little Lanna but I know she is in good hands and it's even better because she is with her brother. According to the sitter he is really protective of her. I think that's cute. We are all doing good just getting ready for Christmas. We have one more week of school...I don't know why with all the fun stuff going on it seems kinda pointless. I can't believe Lanna is already two months. She smiled for the first time (awake) the Monday before I went back to work. I would have been bummed if she would have waited so I am glad I stole the first smiles!! She is smiling a lot these days. It makes those first rough weeks all go away when they start smiling. Cale is doing great. We have gotten him the coolest Christmas present ever and I can't wait to see his face on Christmas morning. We are going next weekend to get him a few other things along with some stocking stuffers. Lanna is going to be easy to buy for. I know enjoy it while I can right? Well here are some recent pics.

Birthday Night...

Okay so after two naps and demanding Jeff give him a bath...he decided he wanted to play some basketball. My parents gave him a basketball goal for his birthday and it was a favorite right away! Here are some pictures of him shooting hoops at 10 pm.

Now for the best part...we have this battery operated Frosty. You push a button and it sings and dances. This was his favorite thing last year during Christmas...as a matter of fact we had to leave it out until Valentine's Day because he refused for it to leave the living room. Well this year is a different story. From the time we pulled Frosty out of the attic Cale has been terrified of him. So he has sat in the living room staring and refusing to go near Frosty. Shooting some hoops was a ton of fun until the ball rolled over to Frosty...just watch what happens next

I know you can't hear it but as he is running down the hall he is yelling DADADADA! Needless to say Frosty now lives in a box in the garage! Poor Frosty!!!!

More Birthday Pictures...

Cale's cake...that he picked out himself.

A successful birthday party, this was on our 6 minute drive home!

Happy Birthday (2) Cale...

Well my baby boy is now 2. He will proudly tell you he is TWOOOOOO and hold all five fingers up. Hey it's progress from one...he would say un and hold up his middle finger. Glad that one is behind us. It was fun trying to explain to everyone he is not flipping them off but showing them his age. Ha! We had a wonderful time Sunday with 20 kiddos and their parents at Jump 'n Land in the mall. It is a great place. They have inflatibles, a huge jungle gym type thing and a party host (which was more for me than anything else). It was well worth the money and I think all that came had an excellent time. He even had both sets of grandparents there...but he was way too busy to enjoy them. He is still so proud of all his new toys...I packed up some of the old ones to make room and to save for Lanna. Here are some pics from Sunday!

Opening presents at home with mom and dad (and Lanna too)

Football Season Is Over, What A Year...

Well the Jackets season came to a hault Friday night at Texas Stadium. It was so hard to see it come to an end but I was very proud of how hard they had worked all season long. I am posting some pics I took at the game. I have to say that I am glad the Cowboys are getting a new stadium. That one was one of the worst I have been in. Dirty, old and no toilet paper. Are you kidding me with no toilet paper? The girl I went with took her daughter to three different bathrooms and none of them had paper. I mean come on that is just insane. Oh well...Cale was really well behaved at the game. He sat in the seat next to me the whole 2nd quarter eating his $5.00 popcorn. The rest of the game I had to hold him because he wanted to see the BEE. It was fun though and memories to last a lifetime. Not everyone can say they coached at Texas Stadium...but now Jeff can. Hopefully next year we can be out there taking pics on that star with the state trophy in hand! Oh and my baby boy will be 2 tomorrow...party pics to come!

The BEE Cale loves...

Happy (Late) Thanksgiving...

Sorry this is a little late but we have been rather busy in Wigsworld. We were with family, getting ready for a big football game and party planning for Cale's 2nd birthday! Here are some Thanksgiving pics...I am all about comparing so there is a pic from last year too!

2007 Thanksgiving


2008 Thanksgiving

Happy Birthday Meme, Cale got tubes...

Well first I would like to say happy birthday to my momma. She and my dad drove an hour to watch Lanna so we could take Cale to have tubes put in. Thank you to them! It was so sad seeing my baby in a little hospital gown and looking scared to death. He did really well until they had to pry him out of Jeff's arms to take him back. From the time he left us until the Dr. came out took 6 whole minutes...a very long six minutes by the way but all went well. Cale had (in the Dr.'s words) tons of fluid sitting on both ears, making it difficult for him to hear clearly. Dr. Richmond said he should be hearing better and speaking better since the tubes are in. We are very grateful for him coming out to talk to us after it was over. It was very comforting to hear the news straight from him. Very professional of him! He is the dad of one of my former softball players. A good man! So now we are home...Cale has been asleep for three hours and Lanna has been asleep an hour and a half. Gotta blog when you can, right? As for Thanksgiving, we will be going to my uncle's house with my family and then back here to Denison for dinner with Jeff's family. But we can't go anywhere until football practice is over...strange for us this time of year. Then Friday is the big game at Texas Stadium. Here are some pics we have taken over the last couple of days...I talked Cale into holding Lanna for some photo ops and this was the best we got. Now all he wants to do is hold her! Oh and he will be 2 on Sunday...I can't believe it!!!

(Jeff and Lanna...he hasn't cut his hair since before football started)

(Can you tell he loves her hair?)

One More Week of Football, Texas Stadium Here We Come...

Well the Jackets won!!! We are now spending our Thanksgiving break planning around football practice and all that comes with it. I am so happy for them. It was awesome to see how excited they all were after the game last night. Cale had a wonderful time. We sat in an area where he and the other two kiddos that came with us could run and play and they did just that all night long. After the game Cale had the run of the stadium. He was literally running back and forth acorss the football field. I let Jeff chase him since I had been chasing him all day. I think Jeff was so happy and excited he actually enjoyed chasing him all over the field. Here are some pics from last night. Jeff and the Jackets will play Friday night at Texas Stadium.

Cale had to be in the picture...I love the look on his face.

Cale slept the whole way home then when we got home fought sleep till daddy came home. This is him fighting it...I really think he was asleep with his eyes open.

Time Flies When You Are Having Fun...

(Setting a fashion trend...pj shirt with the green rain boots)

Well I can't believe it but we are coming up on our 10 year reunion...winning a national championship that is. I can't believe it's been almost 10 years. So much has changed since May 2000. I am happily married...for 6 years now. I have a 2 year old, or I will have a 2 year old next Sunday. I have a 5 week old baby girl and I live in Texas. That is the only shocking thing, I never thought I would ever live in Texas. I was Sooner Born and Sooner Bred and now I live in Texas!!! I love it here though, I love that I live on a street with more Sooner fans than fans of anything else. Two houses up is a former cheerleader and Sooner Baseball Player and across the street are two die hard Sooner Fans. I think he graduated from there. It's the perfect place in Texas for us to live! Here are some recent photos. We are just gearing up for the BIG game on Friday, if they win they play next Friday at Texas Stadium...a very big deal! One game at a time though, the team they play this Friday is bigger and more athletic than last week's team. It just doesn't get easier! I will post after Friday!! Go Jackets...

One More Week of Football...

So the Jackets are now a perfect 11-0. After the defeat of Royse City last night at SMU stadium football continues one more week. Jeff was so excited after the game. He has been so stressed out. I am sure the stress will start over again on Monday. We are proud of daddy and all the boys. Its so much fun to watch them have success. Especially because they spend SO MUCH TIME up at that field house away from their families. Cale and I went to the game and my mom and dad kept Lanna. I am sure she was loving the one-on-one time without Cale rubbing her head and poking her in the cheeks. She is now weighing in over 11 lbs. Cale will be 2 in 15 days. So much going on around Wigsworld. Here are a few pics from the game last night...

Cale having fun in the stands...he kept that hat on all night I was in shock!
