Swimming

Casey is such a nice dad. He filled up the mini pool the other day & took Caleb outside to play. I thought it was cute of him. He even filled it up in the early morning so that the water could warm up & I didn't even have to suggest it! Sometimes I don't give the guy enough credit when credit is due. I didn't get to stay & watch them play because I had to run some errands, but Casey said that Caleb had a good time.

Caleb won't say 'mom' or 'dad' or 'no' - aren't those usually a kids first words? He says car & spoon. Two of the weirdest first words I can think of! He jibber jabbers all the time & I'm just waiting for the ramblings to become words that I can understand....probably so then I can tell him to be quiet. One of many examples of how we always want what we don't have.

We had some friends over Sunday night for a BBQ and to play cards. Kevin & Courtney Miller & Shelby (Casey's brother). It was a lot of fun. Kevin & Courtney brought a delicious fresh salsa. My taste buds are expanding! Hooray! It had tomatoes, avocado, green & yellow pepper, lime juice, cilantro, black beans, jalapenos....& a few things that I'm probably forgetting. I'm so glad I tried it!! I let Caleb play with a deck of cards - maybe not the best idea, but he had a good time. I had to take them away when he started sucking on them.

My little sister is getting MaRrIeD! So - my older sister & I have went into panic mode because we both want to drop 10 elbees before Aug 29th. We have made a schedule to go to the gym every Sunday, Wednesday & Friday. I hope I hope I hope that we can stick to it & reach our goal! Go Team Fattie!!
