Little known fact...

.. Ryan wanted to name him Abraham...

Caleb was almost Abraham Ryan Hock instead of Caleb Ryan Hock!

I'm glad I won that one. I do love Mr. Lincoln but don't know if that name really fits my little mans personality... Pic from a year and a half ago.

One word wednesday

Here are a few pics taken over the weekend.

WWE Monday Night Raw

We had a great time lastnight. Thank you Grandaddy Ray for going with us! We love you. This first picture is of John Cena, Calebs favorite wrestler. I still don't have a new camera with zoom so that was the best I could do.. Look at my cutie with his John Cena "You can't see me" hat! He also got a 2 pack of wrestling figurines. Since I grew up the oldest of four girls and am the oldest cousin out of 10 grandchildren who are all girls except for the youngest, this stuff is so new to me! I kinda like it though. All the cool BOY things that I get to experience with Caleb has been so fun. I can't wait for all that is yet to come..

Play Ball!

Caleb had a great time lastnight practicing with some of his t-ball buddies! Here's a picture of Justin batting! We couldn't get him to bat all season but yesterday he finally did it. I know he does it at home but would not do it in front of all of us and the team so I am so proud of him and so happy that he did it several times and really seemed to enjoy it. Good job mom and coaches! Great job Justin! Yay Jus!

My boy batting.. can't wait to get a new camera with zoom...

Thirsty Caleb

My baby looking cute on Backwards Day!

7/22/09

He wanted me to leave him alone and let him play his DS. He just looked so cute withhis hat on sideways and his hair was all sweaty. He's so cute. During the day he had his shirt and hat on backwards.. don't know why he put it on the right way. I love those big eyes.

Crazy Hair Day

Caleb on crazy hair day at school. He wanted a mohawk... That's the best we could do. It was also 80's day. I tried to get him to wear a Michael Jackson t-shirt but he wouldn't put it on for some reason. I don't know why. Some of his all time favorite songs are Beat it, Billie Jean and The way you make me feel... He's been dancing to MJ for years. Guess he just didn't recognize MJ on the shirt.. It was young Michael.

Yay! Almost Fall Ball time!

These pictures are from Fall Ball 08. He's grown so much since then. Tomorrow night we are having a T ball practice/play date with our team from the spring. Most of them will be on our Fall Ball team. One of my favorite things is watching these kids play together. I love being team mom too. Look at Caleb playing pitcher. He's my little heartbreaker.

Little Stinker

This old picture still cracks me up. Looks so grumpy (and like Dad) that I had to get it. I can't believe my little baby is already 5 and going into kindergarten. I really think he is overdue for a baby brother or sister! I miss the baby days sometimes. How am I going to drop this little baby off at a big new school full of mostly strangers? I don't think I can do it. I guess I will let him ride the bus the first day? He really wants to.. But that just might KILL me...

Outback tonight anyone?

I'm taking Caleb and my nephew Damien to Outback tonight in La Plata if anyone wants to join us or stop by. I should be there around 6:30! Yum, I can't wait!

Favorite Picture of the week..

Jul & Noah

Meet Baby Noah

Noah Van was born on July 16th weighing in at 7 lbs and 10 ounces! Very cute like his big Bro but looks a little more like Mommy than Brad did. Mom was doing well also!

Caleb Cena

My little mans been working out! j/k! He is REALLY into wrestling right now and he loves John Cena, so when we went to the little place on the boardwalk in OC that can put your head on any body, guess who he picked?? Isn't he cute? John Cena has nothing on him.. By the way, I got 2 tickets for the WWE show on the 25th at the Verizon Center. One for Caleb and one for mommy. And NO, I do not like wrestling.. but anything for my baby!

** Vacation **

( This is on the train at the Jolly Roger)

We went to OC, MD for 3 days and stayed at Uncle Boots and Aunt Carolyns beach house on 15th street. It was a great little family vacation. We hadn't been there since Caleb was 2. He just absolutely loves the beach. He's a water boy.. And I know, people are probably asking why do the boys have long sleeves on... I'm just really weird about the sun and skin cancer. I know too many people that have had it and my Paw paw died because of melonoma, so I make them cover up! I'm not as bad about myself, can't kick the habit completely but I do actually use sunblock these days. Never used too.. I just dont use it as much as I should.

Right after he got off the bigger roller coaster with Dad..

I can't believe my baby will get on rides like this. there they are way up there! I don't like seeing my little baby do stuff like that..

This was much better for me! nice little kiddie caterpillar ride! He wasn't impressed though.

Daddy and Caleb playing in the water

It was a beautiful week in OC!

Caleb and Leo

Twin putters

Real twins! why am I the only one that sees how much we look alike? Is everyone else blind?

I'm not sure why he can never just smile for a picture with mom. Its always some crazy face or pose.. He's always been my crazy Caleb. I had no idea he was doing this..

The sun was in thier eyes. We were suppose to try again later but never did... I have a shot of them from 3 years ago sitting in the same chair together.

Catch up time once again..

These are all out of order and I don't know how to move them around!? Oh well.

This is Caleb, Grandma Brenda and Brianna banana on Grandma's Birthday.

My little man with the dog his great aunt Jeanette gave him before he was born.

He dressed him in a build a bear terps shirt, his old boxer briefs and some old socks.

I thought it was adorable...

Caleb riding in uncle Keiths boat. (one of his favorite things to do).

He HAS to sit in the very front and likes to go very fast!

Cool guy

My niecey-poo Brianna Bananna eating cake at Long Horn with us for my moms B-day dinner!

Shes wearing my sun glasses... I had to wash the cake off of them when I got home.
