Casen and Chris

Baby Practice

Something is apparently in the water around our church. There have been lots of babies being born lately, which means lots of great baby practice for Casen.

Right now he is really into babies. He points them out everywhere we go and is very gentle with them. This is baby Elijah and Casen. Elijah was snoozing when we went to visit his parents, Aubrey and Josh, so we had to take a side by side shot.

Thankfully, lots of our friends are having their babies the same hospital where Casen's brother will be born. Now that Casen has visited the baby ward a few times hopefully he'll be more comfortable when he comes to visit his little brother! Here Casen is giving baby Calvin a kiss on the head.

The most recent addition that we visited in the hospital is Brynlee. She wasn't very happy at the moment and Casen wasn't quite sure what to think!

Casen practicing his hugs with Grayson. Sutton had to get in on the action too!

Casen and Austin

Last weekend Chris was in Oklahoma singing in a wedding. Thankfully, our good friends, the Dollars, invited us over for pizza so we weren't lonely without Chris around. It was a beautiful evening outside and the boys had a ton of fun playing!

Taking the John Deere for a spin...my Papa has one just like it!

Casen loves the slide.

Not sure what the two of them spotted but it must be interesting!

Casen's First Hair Cut

Sorry this is so late getting posted...it's been busy around the Freeland household!

A "before" picture...obviously it was time!

When we decided to go for the first official hair cut we looked no further than our good friend Hilary. She has a mini barber shop set up in her home which is very convenient!

Thankfully, Hilary also has a son a few months younger so she's an expert at moving targets!

Learning the Hard Way!

The other day I thought Casen might like Jello Jigglers. So, I whipped up some jello put it in a shallow pan and then waited in anticipation to see how much he enjoyed it. Enjoy it he did! Apparently, I need to read the directions before I assume that I know how to make them. I never realized that there were some "extra" steps that need to be taken to ensure that the Jigglers don't get everywhere! As you can tell from the pictures, the mess didn't deter him from scarfing down the Jello! Lesson learned.

Easter

Since Chris cannot be gone from work on Easter Sunday and because our family lives in Oklahoma we spent our Easter afternoon with The Gardners, a family we know from Arlington that has been so gracious to include us in their gatherings. Sunday afternoon after church we headed to Al and Ozzie's for some great food, fun and fellowship.

We had a fun filled afternoon with the Gardners and are so thankful for them including us in their family!

More Fun at the Park!

Crazy hair!

Riding the dolphin one minute...

riding on Daddy the next!

Chris tried to get on the dolphin with Casen and it promptly bucked him off. He landed right where you see him! It was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time! I have to add that I'm really impressed with how well Chris held on to Casen!
