Out of the mouth of MY babe!

Yesterday Caleb walked up to his Daddy and told him, "Man looks at outward appearance, but Lord looks at his heart." Jospeh sent him to tell me and it was the most beautiful thing that I have heard Caleb say. Joseph has been memorizing scripture with Caleb for over a year now, but this was the first time that he has ever just quoted it unprompted. I pray that God continues to store His Word in Caleb's heart!


**The verse Caleb quoted was a portion of 1 Samuel 16:7 "But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God [sees] not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

DID WE HEAR RIGHT???!!!!

Here is the preview of our newest additions! Yes, you read right! You can imagine our suprise last night when we saw 2 heart beats on the ultrasound and heard the word TWINS!! I'm only 6 1/2 weeks so we are cautiously optimistically excited!


**Daddy & Caleb are sure that there is going to be one girl and one boy, Mommy is pepared fo more boys!

Soccer Update

Caleb had his second soccer game yesterday and it went wonderful! The Kicker's lost 5-0 but Caleb had a great time, played quite a bit and there were no tears. It is so great that those kids have so much fun and have no idea that they lost so badly!
I didn't get any pictures, but I was able to get Caleb there on time for his team picture and game and thought that was miraculous since I am having yucky morning sickness now :(

Oh Caleb...where are you? 

Crazy boy likes to wear his sunglasses upside down. 

Check out that salute! 

2 little peas in a pod. If Caleb is walking around with no shirt on Luke has to do the same thing! 

The boys love to take a bath in my bathtub because they love when we turn on the jets and make crazy bubbles. 

Seriously! Look how adorable these boys are!! 

Manly Men

Last weekend Joseph had to change the break pads on my car and was teaching Caleb how to take the tire off the car. Caleb loved helping his Daddy and did a lot of the work while Joseph supervised. During this, Luke wandered around looking cute and for trouble to get into. Don't my boys look like studs?!?!

Museum Day in Houston

Here are some pictures that I haven't posted yet of our weekend trip to Houston a couple of weeks ago. The had a free museum day and we went down to the Science Museum and the Children's Museum. Both were very cool and we all had a great time!

this dinosaur needs to eat this grumpy child! 

they had a great collection of dinosaurs at the museum.

Here Caleb is in little Mexico shopping at a farmer;s market. 

They had this great grocery store for the kids complete with a seafood/meat market 

Luke got to milk his first cow!

In their pond at the Children's Museum they had these cute stepping stones for the kids to walk on. We didn't dare let Luke on them! 

notice Luke trying to get in? we spent most of time trying to keep him out! 

Soccer and the Maddry boys

Soccer season is upon us and the Maddry men are gearing up. Caleb got new soccer cleats & shin guards and looks pretty spiffy. His team is made up of 4 & 5 year olds and Caleb is the youngest. We have practice on Mondays & games on Saturdays. Practice is getting better. The first on was pretty rough on Caleb and he wanted his Daddy out there on the field with him at all times. The second practice went a lot better and Caleb felt more comfortable on the field by himself.

Luke Maddry on the other hand doesn't realize that he isn't on the team and we are always having to drag him off the field. He kicks that ball better than some of the 5 year olds and the other parents have commented on what a "natural" Luke is. He really is good at sports for being so little. He loves sports and when the coach tells the team to line up with their balls - Luke grabs his ball and gets in line too. Luckily the coach is really nice and lets Luke participate too!

Our First Real Soccer Game

Well, we had our first soccer game yesterday. We were at the fields early because near the fields are some trails where Joseph went for a run while I took the boys for a good power walk. The whole morning we talked about our first soccer game and Caleb seemed really excited until it was time to start warming up. Then he decided that he didn't want to play & wanted to go home. Caleb played soccer last year in Maryland, but it was a non-competitive league, that met once a week, where they basically learned a few skills and would scrimmage against each other for the last 15 min. of practice. This year we have practice & a game once a week. Caleb really wanted to play, but never does well with new activities at first. The last quarter of the game he really got into it and started having fun. Everytime he would do something good -like run down the field- he would stop and look for us to give us the "thumbs up." It was so cute how he did that, but it was also usually right in the middle of the game. I think this week we will have to work on helping him keep his eye on the ball.



Side note - our team the "Kickers" lost badly. It was a shut out. We knew it was going to be bad when the game first started and they put the ball into play. Our team stood there frozen while the other team kicked the ball right past them and into the goal. Our team never moved a muscle... or knew what happened.

We were at the fields early and here are our future soccer stars very excited about the game! 

this isn't looking good...
