Caleb's birthday!

Here is Caleb at his party we had for him at a

park two days after his birthday. The party was

a lot of fun! We had Caleb's friends come and they

played at the park, ate dinner, got goodies from a

pinata, and had cupcakes! This is the only

good picture I have right now because I had

Kristen take most of the pictures with her camera.

set we got him!
Here he is opening his train set

Hudson came over earlier in the day so we sang

"Happy Birthday" to him and had cupcakes!

Here are the boys eating their cupcakes!

Our stay in Spokane after Missoula

Caleb opened up his gifts early from grandpa,

grandma, and auntie Duke. Here he is with

the trucks auntie Duck got him!

Amy came over to my parent's house on Monday with

Hayden and Olivia- it was a lot of fun! Here

are Olivia and Halle playing on the floor together

Caleb and Hayden were having some very important

"guy" time after swimming in the pool!

This is such a funny picture because Caleb is in
mid-jump as Hayden splashes in the pool!

Halle with her auntie in the pool!

Trip to Missoula for a wedding

Halle is 6 months!

Wow! Time has flown by- our little girl is already half a

year old, and what a wonderful half a year it has been!

Halle Rose is such a delight and a real joy! She is so cute

and her personality is realing starting to show. She

absolutely loves to watch Caleb-she follows him with

her eyes wherever he goes, and when he talks to her or

dances for her, she just giggles- it is so cute! She also likes

peek a boo, and "where's Halle?", she still loves to stand

and jump- especially when her brother comes near. She

is becoming more mobile and is getting very good at

turning on her tummy- it won't be long before she is

crawling. I have started her on some solids, I got

these little net food things at the store and you can

put veggies and fruit in them and she loves them! She

really likes food a lot so when we are eating I sit her in

her little chair and she eats right along with us. We don't

swaddle her anymore for naps or bedtime and it is really

cute because she takes her pacifier out of her mouth

and then she tries to put it back in and can't and it's

really cute to watch her try and figure it out! The rest

of the family is doing well (a little sleep deprived). We

started Caleb in his big boy bed last Monday and he is

doing surprisingly well(most the time)but the last

couple mornings he has been up before 6- ahhh! One

morning I woke up to him standing at the side of our

bed with a smile on his face saying "momma"- I looked

at the clock, it was 5:20 am. Hopefully as he gets used

to his bed he will sleep a little longer!

I will try and put some pictures up of the last couple

of weeks, we have been so busy, and we are entering

another busy time! On July 2, Landen and I celebrated

our 4th wedding anniversary! It was great we went to

dinner and then kayaking on Lake Union with some

friends. For the 4th we went up to my Aunt and Uncles

for dinner and watched fire works. This coming weekend

we are heading to Montana for a wedding and then the

next weekend we are having Caleb's birthday party! He

is turning 2 on the 22 of July! Well, It is a little after 9 pm

and I should hit the hay because I will probably be getting

up early!

Hoopfest Weekend

It was so cute- Hudson and Caleb wanted to

stretch with their dad's before the game
As you can tell, Halle is definitely fascinated
with the basketball game

(It won't be long before they can have a team!)

Me, Mom, and Halle on our way to Hoopfest

Caleb wanted to sit with Landen while he got

his ankle taped- the lady there thought he was

so cute so she gave him a sucker!

BBQ at my parent's

It is our tradition now, to have a bbq at my

parent's Friday and Saturday night during

Hoopfest! We had such a great time- we

invited a bunch of people, ate a lot of food,

played some volleyball, and had a lot of fun!

(above:I can not believe Caleb and Landen went

in the pool- the water was freezing!)

Waiting for Hudson

Hudson (aka "huddee" or "Huds") was coming

over today and Caleb gets so excited whenever

he gets to see his best buddy! I thought this

picture was so cute because he wanted to wait

at the window with elmo and Amy (yes, he

named his bear amy- don't really know why?)
