The Baby is Three!!

These two friends are so cute together!

Looking for critters with this friend.

Mom & Dad dropped the kids off at Grammy's house to head to Wyoming for one of Craig's races.
Here the kids are waving the customary goodbye.

In Wyoming we got to go rafting with some good friends!

Morning of the race.

A little nervous, but excited.

Paige got to wander around this beautiful place while waiting for Craig to finish the race.

It was a long wait and a funny story, but Paige and Craig were finally reunited at this finish line.

Meanwhile, in Utah, the kids were enjoying themselves at Grammy's house.

No children were broken in the making of this picture.

They love visiting Grams and getting jelly beans!

Love this.

Thanks Grammy, for taking good care of these kids and for wearing them out!


Back at home it's time to play with friends again.

Enjoyed a drive-in movie with some good friends.

The kids had a good time.

The next day, Carter and Jayden joined in a soccer camp with those same friends.
Here Carter is showing off his balancing skills.

Art project:  Light up lanterns.

Caleb did an art project too.  He calls it "Trucks"


Puzzle time!

Grammy came to visit and curled this girl's hair.
Beautiful!

During Caleb's nap, we set up these birthday balloons for him.

He wasn't sure what to think at first.

It only took a minute to figure out what to do with them.


Time for presents!
All three kids were excited!

A firetruck!  I love it!

Thanks Grammy!

A tub of sour cream!  I love it!
Thanks Carter!

I don't know what that is.  You can have it, Jayden.

Mom had to show him the ropes.

Oh I get it now!  This is cool!
(He did a great job eating all his food!  Thanks plate!)

Still enjoying his balloons.

One of his presents has to be put together.

Good thing he had lots of help!
Caleb: "How long will this take?"

New trucks finally assembled, he enjoyed playing with them.

Cake time!

We couldn't decide.....

which picture......

was cutest.

Ooh!  It's glowing!
Make a wish!

I did it!

Good work bulldozer!

This boy decides he's big enough to sneak out and sleep in mom and dad's bed.

It's raining!

See, it does rain here sometimes!


Zoning out for some truck videos.


This boy has been loving learning piano.

Going on a peaceful Sunday walk, we crossed paths with a villainous looking stranger.

Caleb: "Look away, look away.  Maybe he won't see me."

A lot of unease going on in this picture.

I think they are expecting to get attacked any second.

While the big kids are at Code Club at the library, the librarian got Caleb a coding caterpillar to learn with.

Time for some reading.
t-r-u-c-k

This book is about trucks!


Buddies.

You found us mom!



With all our fun, we have neglected our garden.
The tomato plants have completely gotten away from us.

Cousins, Friends, and Library Fun

 

FUN WITH COUSINS

We had a stormy drive to Grammy's house to visit cousins.

Cousin time is the best!

All the kiddos waiting with Grammy for the goodies to finish baking.

I'm tired cousin, carry me.

At the curiosity museum we got to play in the water.

And fly an airplane!!

Trying to get a picture of this crew.
Caleb...

Melody....
(We LOVE this picture)

Finally got them all smiling together.



FUN AT HOME

When you play with Mr. Potato Head, you have to borrow the earrings.

Is it time for school yet?

Experiencing the joy of Pop Rocks


Mom! I'm a snow plow!

"Daddy, bring back mine glasses!"
(daddy took Caleb's glasses to the glasses store)




FUN WITH FRIENDS

Picnic lunch with our friends.

When you squeeze too many kids in a car, crashes happen.

Caleb's buddies.





FUN AT THE LIBRARY


The leaning tower.

Mom was shocked to see Caleb sit so still to get his face painted.
Dad says maybe we need to paint his face during church.

What do you think of my monster?

Seeing their faces in the mirror.

Carter didn't want his face painted, so he made his own monster.


Caleb was able to climb this all by himself!

But he decided to slide down with brother's help.

Trying out some kayaks at the library.

I spy with my little eye..... two happy kids.
