My Little Monkey

Well it's official, Cason thinks he's a monkey! He loves to climb, jump, flip, and leap. You name it he can climb it in our house.

This is how I found him last Saturday, he was sitting on the coffee table in the pampers box watching TV.

He also loves to climb up our bed and flip over onto the mattress.

Who needs bar stools when you can sit on the counter. I have to stay on his heels at all times, which is hard because he is quick, curious, and determined.

Cason took his first shower on Tuesday. He was a little scared of the water and would not stand underneath it, but he loved it and had a blast. I know his booty is showing in this picture but I had to include because his little pot belly is just too cute!



Birthday's & Valentines

We have had a busy week! Tuesday we celebrated Bradley's 35th birthday with dinner out with Mimi and Peepaw. Later that night Emory got upset because she wanted to buy Bradley a superman birthday cake from Wal-Mart. It was oh so dramatic but she was truly upset because Daddy did not have a real birthday cake (we had made a cake from a mix but it was not decorated therefore not real). So Wednesday Emory and Mimi went to work. Emory decided that a farmer cake would suffice this year (next year she IS getting him a superman cake) and did a great job decorating it for her Daddy. She was very very proud of her cake.

 Wednesday night Emory helped me bake cookies for her and Cason's Valentines party. Creativity was not flowing through me this year when it came to Valentines, but I doubt the kids really cared.  So this is what Cason and Emory gave to their friends this year!

Ms. Betty said they both had a blast at the party and they came home with lots of goodies! That evening they opened their presents from Bradley and I.  

The both got new summer pj's, cups, and candy. Emory got a new magical wand and Cason a coloring book.

Cason going in for the candy. He loves his sweets!

Here are a few of the valentines the kids received from their friends!



Little Lincoln

 

      

Andrew and Rachel welcomed their newest addition February 1, 2013. Lincoln Andrew Contreras arrived at 11:08 pm. He was 6 lbs 11oz and was 19.5 inches!

 

Emory and I headed south to meet little Lincoln and visit with Rachel, Andrew, and Miss Mckenzie Wednesday. The girls had a blasts playing!

Crazy Hair!

 

Lincoln is a great baby! He was 25 days early so at this point he is doing what he would have been doing in Rachel's belly...sleeping and eating! I did manage to see his eyes a few times and they appear to be a dark blue. He is tiny and just precious. Despite coming early and having a heart condition, our prayers were answered and Lincoln arrived breathing on his own and did not require a trip to the NICU or open heart surgery immediately following his birth!

His big sis was not in the mood to take a picture, but she is doing a fantastic job in her new role! She is very caring towards him, often patting his little head gently. I think she is going to be a fantastic big sister! We plan on going back for another visit soon with Bradley and Cason this time.
