IMG_0106

Callie Beth turned 3 1/2 September 21st!  Where is the time going?  I can not believe this little girl is half way to four.  She seems to have grown up so much recently.

  • She truly has the biggest heart.  She is always looking out for others, trying to make them happy. 
  • She still loves to read.
  • She loves to do "school work"
  • She can write her name and her brother's name
  • She is working on her ABCs (recognizing, writing and sounds)
  • She can count to 20
  • She knows her address (street, city and state)
  • Her favorite food is corn on cob.  She is still a picky eater and does not each much.
  • She can say the Pledge of Allegiance
  • She loves to help
  • She can fold her own laundry and put them away
  • She is still a tiny little thing.  She is just now getting in to 3T pants (only if they are leggings or adjustable waists) and still in 2T tops.  She wore 24 month shorts all summer.
  • She is an amazing big sister
  • She loves gymnastics and swimming

More apples

Ben is obsessed with our apple tree as you have probably noticed with the previous posts.  Ben and Jake have a routine they do every day when Jake gets home from work.  I finally caught it all on camera.

First, they walk down to the tree. IMG_0174 Then, Jake picks an apple for them.IMG_0175Ben sits and wait for his apple. IMG_0176Then, they enjoy their applesIMG_0178 IMG_0186 IMG_0179 IMG_0184This was another day:IMG_0127 IMG_0128 IMG_0137IMG_0136 Love how this boy sits with his feet crossed!
