Introducing... The Amazing Catman!

We went over to Aunt Neesey's to play the other day. My kids are both really into dress-up these days. Well, Patti found this adorable cat outfit in Chloe and Phoebe's stash. She looked SO stinkin' cute in this tight long sleeve/long leg velour leotard and cat ears. Sweet Phoebe and Chloe wanted Patti to take it home... so we borrowed it for a little while. Patti didn't want to take it off and even wore it home. The two kids went upstairs to play once we got home... a few minutes later, I heard this sweet little voice coming down the stairs....

"Wook Mommy! I'm CATMAN!!"

(Perfect blackmail in the future)

Look Ma, No hands!

My Cuddle-Bug

Cal is such a cuddler. He BEGS for us to snuggle with him. If you are sitting or laying down, Cal is most likely sitting in your lap or laying on top of you. Sometimes he just has to be touching you. It's sweet. Right now, as I type this sitting in my chair, he is sitting on the arm of the chair with his head on my shoulder. These are just a few pictures from the past couple of months.




A visit from Uncle Bomboo wouldn't be complete without a snuggle on the couch...

Grams is always a sure cuddle....

Just needing to be close to Paw Paw...

Daddy laying on the couch is fair game...

We were at a family reunion and Cal and Patti shared a bed. We woke up to see this....

Fresh meat.... Wonder how much of a snuggler David will be...

I think David's had enough....

Fun at the Beach.... Again

We headed back down to South Padre for another fun vacation at the end of July. We stayed almost 2 weeks and had so much fun. For the first week, it was just my mom, Paw Paw, the kids and me (we overlapped with my brother, Randy, and his family for one night). Daniel flew down and joined us for the last week.

This little boy adores his Grams....

It's always fun to snuggle up in this king-size bed (and to keep warm because Grams keeps it a chilly 68 degrees in the condo!).

There were lots of kids at the condos this time around. Cal just joined right on in (that's him at the end of the line... he was the smallest one.... but, also the bravest).

Here's my little guy jumping into the deep end with no life jacket (he swam right to the side with no problem... he is really swimming good).

David's growing so much! Most his vacation was spent in the condo with his Grams. Neither one complained at all.

I hope Grams doesn't kill me for posting this picture, but it was just too priceless. Grams, Patti and Cal all slept together. Cal LOVED it... he is such a cuddle-bug.

Cal loves his Paw Paw.... especially when he makes his famous popcorn!

My cousin Natalie joined us for a day. She and I were roomies in college. Crazy how fast time flies!

Patti really loved to read books with Paw Paw. Priceless memories.

Cousin Ryan and Cal.... Cal loves Ryan.

Ryan and David.... the oldest grandkid and the youngest.

Our favorite place to eat at Padre is Pirate's Landing. They have parrots outside that are so tame and just sit on the kids heads, shoulders, hands..... they even poop on you (ask Cal).

We went to visit Minnie one day.... I love this lady.

Some dear friends from Weslaco also joined us at Minnies....

And of course, fun in the sand....

Paw Paw and I took the kids on the Laguna Madre nature boardwalk....

I debated on whether or not to blog this picture.... I couldn't resist. When you gotta go, you gotta go....


Cousins.... Patti, Colleen (Natalie's little girl), and Cal
