Yesterday Caleb had another soccer game. It went much better than the previous two. Caleb had been getting into a habit of wanting to walk off the field and sit down. He would say he was "too tired and needed to rest" even though he had only played a few minutes. Last week when we told him it was time to go play his soccer game he said " I don't want to go mommy." When I asked why he said "because it's too boring. They don't let me get the ball." He does have a few older boys on the team now and at this age sharing isn't an option. The coach tries to rotate the kids, but at this age there is no "team" it's all about "i". "I" didn't win because "i" didn't make a goal. Though I still tried to explain how a team works, I also told him if he wanted to make a goal he had to continue to try harder to get the ball. 
So yesterday he did just that and scored 4 goals. They played a pretty good team too, so it was actually an exciting game.

Today was Lexie's dedication at our new church. Gigi came back to attend as well. She was upstairs with Caleb when he woke up. She asked him if he knew what we were doing at church today and he answered "yeah, we are taking Lexie to church to get her pregnant." After a total shock, my mom quickly corrected Caleb's thought process. I guess "dedication" is a difficult word to remember. 
Unfortunately Lexie didn't feel so great, she has been fighting a cold the last few days. But it was a great service with wonderful memories. The Scripture we picked to be read for Lexie was Colossians 1:9-10. For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God. 
We took Gigi out to lunch afterward before she had to head home again.

The rest of the day we took it easy and actually caught up on much needed rest. Poor Lexie tried to fight off a fever the rest of the day. She finally settled into a comfortable sleep around 9:30pm with the help of Tylenol. I hope tomorrow is a better day for her. Daddy is going to keep her in the morning until I can get home. Thank goodness for half day Mondays.
Greg said he did a super job, and caught 4 Perch on his own. Caleb was so proud. 
Next month the boys are planning to go for a two day camping trip with Grandpa Allen and Uncle Jason. I am a little worried about that trip. Letting him go right up the road fishing was hard enough. Baby steps please!!!!
Yesterday we headed to the Zoo with Sarah and her girls Teresa and Addison. Caleb informed me that "we hadn't been to the Zoo in too long". We arrived a little late after suffering through multiple delays before leaving the house. It is much harder to travel with two, especially when you deal with unexpected diaper blowouts or off track nursing demands. But once we made it there, things went pretty smoothly. 
Lexie was a trooper hanging out in the stroller most of the day. Caleb climbed almost every rock wall we passed and loudly proclaimed every move we were to make. It was such a wonderful day to be out and about though. 
We loved seeing all the animals up close again. 
When we reached the bird exhibit, Sarah bravely took the kids inside to feed the birds. While Lex and I enjoyed the view from outside the cage. 
We made our way to the carousel so the kids could enjoy a ride, then stopped for an ice cream treat before jumping on the train to the entrance. 
We made it through most of the zoo before bad attitude crept into the picture. Caleb's defiant attitude only surfaced on our way out of the zoo, which I tried to tolerate patiently since it had been a long day without napping. So overall it was a successful outing. And we so enjoyed seeing our friends again.
It didn't surprise me when Caleb passed out for a short nap on our way home. Then we had to quickly make and eat dinner before heading over to swimming lessons. What a day!
Caleb loved working on the "construction site" and playing in the water center.
He was a trooper when we had to stop and feed baby Lexie, thank goodness for cartoons on my iphone.
Then we headed to the Dino dig where we discovered several different fossils. He was also a huge fan of the dino-puzzles on the computer. 
We even did some inventing while we were there;Caleb invented some sort of flying contraption I think. It was a great way to spend my day off with the kids.
We'll probably spend lots of Tuesday's at the museum.
Caleb had so much fun playing with Logan and Dylan, they wore themselves out with all the fun to be had a Gigi's. 
Lexie enjoyed being spoiled by everyone. She had no complaints about getting to snuggle with so many people.
The Easter bunny left baskets full of goodies for the kids Easter morning. 
They were so excited!
Caleb loved his new 
Later the Easter bunny helped the adults hide the eggs for the hunt. Caleb said " the Easter bunny is sneaky mommy. That's why you can't see him." 
Caleb had plenty of candy by the time Easter weekend was over. Oh boy!
