Ten on Tuesday

1. Caleb started taking his first steps yesterday. Sadly I wasn't there to see it and when I got home he just wanted me to hold him. But He did it again today! He only take like two or three steps but we all get very excited!!! I tried to post a video but after waiting like 15 minutes for it to download I gave up. It was a horrible video anyways but I just wanted to document it.

2. Caleb likes to pull on the letter magnets off the fridge. Today I gave him a container and showed him how to put them in and he liked it. Kept him busy for about 15 minutes.

3. It's been a long known fact that we have too many toys in our house. I've wanted to rotate them for a long time but haven't done it. I took action today. Just a small action. I went through Caleb's baby toys and books and divided them in to three groups. I put two away and kept one out. It makes for a much neater shelf! But storage is limited too so finding a place to store the extra toys is challenging.

4. While I was putting the baby books in one of the closets I discovered that I have a lot of brown paper grocery bags. So the kids and I made some masks out of them.

Daniel, Brianna, and Matthew

Here's mine.

Caleb didn't have one so we just put a basket on his head.

5. Daniel convinced me to not put a pull up on him last night. He went to the bathroom before bed and when he does that he often wakes up dry in the morning. He was so sure that if he had to go pee he would wake up and go. I was awaken at about midnight by him. He was totally soaked. I just love taking off pee clothes in the middle of the night. There's no way I was going to change his sheets at that hour so I just let him sleep with me.

6. Danny worked on the set of a new HBO movie today. Pretty cool.

7. I've started helping coach on a softball team. Getting back into the game again. I'm wanting to start giving pitching lessons. Hoping to start making some money on the side that way.

8. I'm watching Super Troopers right now. It's one of Danny's favorite movies.

9. I've decided that I want to move to a place where I can live on a lake. But I would like to take my California weather, my church, my parents, my in laws, and Brianna's school. Maybe a few friends too.

10. My aunt Norma passed away on Sunday. She's my dad's sister and lived in Missouri. When I was growing up my family went to Kansas and Oklahoma every summer. (That's where my dad is from and all his side of the family lives.) My aunt Norma and Uncle Bill lived on Grand Lake in Grove, Oklahoma. I have so many memories of being on the lake there with my family. I haven't seen my aunt in many years. I wish I could of gone back for her funeral. My heart is really sad.
