It's been a LONG time

Wow! I can't believe how long it has been since I edited our family blog. Life has been such a blessing. We are all moved into our new house, Kali started at a new school, Cellabration Photography is picking up. I started second shooting with my good friend Leah and I couldn't be happier. Check out Cellabration's Blog to see some of the fabulous photo shoots that I have been doing lately. I have met some great people along the way.

Kevin reapplied to school, so please be in prayer that he gets in. Last semester, they weren't taking anymore new students. Tyler is almost completely potty trained. Just a few accidents but we are so close to being diaper free. Tymorie is walking and talking up a storm. She has learned to say, "NO". It is really cute but a pain at the same time. How very opinionated she is...I can't imagine why??

Well, I have to look through my photo files and catch everyone up. Keep an eye out. I am feeling inspired!

Anniversay SAFARI

For our anniversary, Kevin got me a Dolphin and Whale watching safari...we almost didn't bring the kids BUT I am so glad that we did! We had a blast...together. Before the BIG day we got some books on Dolphins and Whales from the library and learned all about them. We even pained some bottle-nose dolphins as a craft. Then we went to Dana Point and took a boat ride out to sea. The LORD blessed up with a pod of dolphins and a BLUE whale! The kids enjoyed every minute and so did we. When they looked at the library books (which reminds me, I haven't returned them yet) it was such a JOY to see them come alive to them. AWESOME, family day!

My BIGGEST little helper

Kaliana is such a HELPER! The other day she asked me to show her how to change a diaper....I was not objecting! What an AWESOME big sis!

Great FRIENDS...GOOD times....

We got to hang out with our GREAT friends the Robinsons recently. We went to the beach, out to lunch and just had a great time hangin with them! Thanks guys for having us out to your place in SD!

KEYS????

Alright, we will be signing the closing escrow papers tomorrow....we should have KEYS to our very FIRST home this week! We got an incredible deal on a fixer-upper right here in Menifee. WE are so excited to have a place to call our OWN. When we first started looking for HOMES we never expected this charming little place....the LORD has exceeded our expectations and I can't wait to post pics!

MOPS...a year gone by

Wow! ONE year of MOPS...gone by. I have been in MOPS for about three years now (Thank you Lo!) and this was my first year in leadership. I am so in LOVE with this ministry. I see the LORD working through the hands of a group of FABULOUS women and I have so grateful that the LORD called me to this place. I look forward for many more years of SERVICE to this ministry and of getting more involved.

5 YEARS ago....

I was marrying the MAN of my dreams. On May 15th, Kev and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. Back in December of 2001, my friend called and asked me to go to Las Vegas for New Year's Eve...it was 11pm at night and something inside me couldn't wait to go. We left at midnight and arrived at 4 AM to some random hole in the wall motel to stay with her friends. This place was ghetto! The beds had a quarter machine to make the vibrate (EWW!) but there I was. Everyone was pretty much sleeping and the next day I noticed him. This amazingly handsome, tall, stud! I kept saying, "There's something about that guy..." Didn't know what it was but it was SOMETHING (the LORD literally sent me FIREWORKS...but I didn't quite know). After New Year's we found out that we knew a lot of the same people, hung out in a lot of the same crowds, graduated from the same school, and attended the same college. We started hanging out a LOT and about 2 months later I was telling my BESTEST friends....This is the MAN I am going to MARRY. Well, on May 15, 2004 my dreams came true and I married my SOULMATE, the one person who knows me so well, can finish my sentences, make me laugh till I cry and just smile and make all things well. Mr. CALDWELL, Thank you for making me your WIFE...for a wonderful 5 years, for providing for me and our THREE beautiful children...for being who you are and for LOVING me!
