Caz's Latest Antics

After the forgotten camera fiasco, I have been trying to make up for it with shots around the house the last week.  These are just a little of our every day...

Nate's biggest fan getting his caffeine on before the game. :)

His first lollipop.  He knew just what to do and he found it very yummy.



Caz enjoys a little Sesame Street every now and then.  Dad pulled up some Elmo clips on Youtube.  Yeah!

Our first really cold morning.  Isn't he cute all bundled up in his winter coat.

Such a cutie in his GT pjs making his spitting sounds at which he has grown quite adept.  And you gotta love a baby buddha belly.

Most of the cabinets are baby-proofed but the corner cabinet with the lazy susan.  Caz, of course, found the one cabinet that he could get in to and literally got in to it.  It's a favorite spot of his when I'm working in the kitchen.  I wonder how much longer he'll fit in there.

Caz enjoys a good book, especially when his big brother is reading to him.  He looks a little irritated in this first picture, but it's not because he doesn't want to read with Nate.  No, he is mad at me for interrupting.  He's learning the 'Aw Mom' face pretty quickly.


MC loves to play with me in laundry hampers and baskets.  I think she likes it because they keep me in one place.  Good thing I find it equally amusing.

Soccer and Flag Football Seasons are Through

Last week brought much quieter afternoons to our house as we take a rest from soccer and flag football.  I have previously posted a number of shots from soccer games, however flag football has been neglected.  That is until now.  Before we get to the pictures, a few tidbits on Nate's season.  Nate loves playing flag football almost as much as he loves the NCAA Football game on Wii, BUT he is not the most aggressive player.  So in an effort to improve Nate's play, particularly on defense, Brandon devised an intricate motivational system.  For every flag Nate pulls....he gets a dollar.  No, we are not above a little good, old-fashioned bribery.  And it worked.  I'd say he got at least one flag per game under the new system with 3 being his single game record.  Now, check out Nate in action...

Heisman...

Warming up...

Ready position on defense...
(The pictures get a little darker as the sun set, so excuse the quality.)

Just missed the flag...

Under center as QB in the 2nd half...

Checking the line...


Please catch it, please catch it...

Getting ready for the pass...under pressure...

Insert Wedding and Caz's First Birthday

It was a big weekend with Terri & Chad's wedding and a celebration of Caz's 1st birthday with family and friends......and I forgot my camera.  So I insert this post as a reminder to family and friends who did have their cameras at these precious events to PLEASE send me your pictures!  :)  Thank you!
