Caleb's Happy 2nd

This cake was pretty simple and Caleb loved it. He kept giggling that there was dirt on his cake. I love that he got a kick out of it. The dirt part is just chunks of unfrosted cake (I got the idea from a friend).

This is Caleb enjoying the truck's sound effects. He kept pushing the buttons on the top of it, and the best part was that he got to keep the tractor/truck afterwards.

This is Caleb's happy face that he got his own package of gum as a gift.

Happy Caleb

We took the boys to The Aquarium and we had a good time. While we were there I was reminded why we don't go there often. You don't get much for your money, and they nickel and dime you to death once you're inside. The kids loved the sharks though.

Caleb's Big Boy Bed

We moved Caleb out of the crib and into a regular bed. Caleb has been asking to sleep in Paul's bed for a while now, but I was worried how the naps would go if we moved him out of the crib. We had a trial run while we were in Baton Rouge. Caleb slept in a bed there, and did really well. So, when we got home we made the transition. It went surprisingly smooth, and the nap times are still intact. Hooray for nap times! Both of the kids are loving the change.


LSU Game

We traveled to Baton Rouge, LA to attend an LSU football game with Pat's dad. The sheer mass of people tailgating was overwhelming. We arrived 5 hours before the start of the game and still had to park 45 minutes away. Unfortunately, the game itself left something to be desired (1st, 2nd, 3rd down, kick the entire time.) The two touchdowns were made by special teams. I had a good time overall though, and the trip was really fun. The kids had a great time with grandpa's dog.
