3 in the bathtub!

Could she be any happier in the big bathtub with her brothers?!

Enjoying new gifts

For a little girl who really needed nothing, she got a lot of cute, fun, "girl stuff" for her birthday. She really did enjoy opening & discovering all of it! Here are a few snapshots of our fun :)

No, not a posed picture...just one I happen to catch, but oh so cute!

Her first sip of "tea" from her tea set... ha!

Testing out the baby doll's "food"...

She really did not know what to think of this bath toy... "I think it's pretty neat, but ???"

Callie also got some adorable outfits & PJ's :)

Thanks everyone!!

It's party day!

WOAH! What a 1st birthday party!

Family, a little chaos & a lot of noise, some presents & some cake

ALL make for a very happy birthday girl!

These 3 were so sweet playing together in Callie's closet :)

Yummmm... birthday cake!

She needed a good washing off after she devoured her cake :)

Still having fun even after the crew was gone :)

Baseball is here again!

Fall baseball is here! This is supposed to be more of a "learning league" so Cade-o is getting to play with big brother! Daddy is coaching (which has been somewhat of a challenge he! he!), and Mommy & Callie are cheering from the stands!

How she spent the day...

9/9/10

Good morning, birthday girl! Mommy & Daddy greeted you in your bed with a birthday song today. After brothers got off to school, it was bathtime for Callie!

...then we read a few books before nap.

More pictures?! :)

Let's call Daisy & watch her outside!

Before bedtime, a little playtime with brothers...

You've had a super birthday, Callie Jewel! We love you!

Happy 1st Birthday, Callie!

Has it been a year already?!

Baby girl... you've made it to your special day!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY! We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you!

Blogworthy quotes

**On Sunday mornings, Howie & I usually split duties after early church service. Callie is not quite ready to skip a morning nap, so one of us takes her home to nap, and one heads over to Sunday school. Hudson always wants to go to Sunday school... Cade... well, not so much :) This particular Sunday was not a Sunday to "battle", so Cade & Daddy took Callie home for her nap while Hudson and I went on to Sunday school. While driving home, Howie asked Cade about why he didn't want to go to Sunday school to learn more with Hudson. Cade responded, "I'm all done learning. Me & you, Daddy... we're all done learning today." HA!

**On the way home from preschool one day, Cade was telling me about seeing a police officer that visited his school. He said, "She had badges, a speaker thingy, and handcups." Too cute!
