TYLER TRIP

We took the family to Tyler for mom's 20th high school reunion in late July. Nana and Big Daddy were sweet enough to meet us there and babysit Cal for the weekend. They had tons of fun including Cal's first trip to the zoo. Fortunately, the Tyler zoo is a great one! Here are some fun pics of their trip.

MORE CAKE, PLEASE! Cal knew just what to do with the cake at the friends birthday party after the family went home. We hosted 12 kids + parents and some kidless friends, too. We had the first sunny day without rain in more than a week which was really convenient since it was a swimming party. Momma's pregnant belly was in full view in her swimsuit - baby #2 will be here in 6 months!

FAMILY FUN - We had a great time celebrating with family and opening lots of great gifts. Luckily cousin Q was there to show Cal what to do with them. A Ballpopper and Red Wagon were some of our favorites from year one.

ONE YEAR OLD!!!
We had two parties for the big birthday. Both sides of Cal's family came in for the weekend to celebrate so the first party was family only. Cal loved the cake his mom made for him and promptly put his foot in it. He then ate every last bite along with ice cream. He must have gotten his love of cake from his momma...

11 MONTHS AND JULY 4th - We traveled to Oklahoma to celebrate July 4th with the Phillips family. We went to see Cal's cousin Q, Aunt Amy and Uncle Russ at their lake house which was tons of fun. Cal loves hanging out with his cousin. They did what cousins do together - rode in a wagon and fought over beer....
