I love this Guy!

Our friends did a photoshoot in the frigid cold. More to come!

We had our first snow fall!

Serious

Seriously, who falls asleep like this? An open water bottle, two apples in his lap, and (oh, ya) a chocolate chip cookie resting ever so gently on his knee!? He woke up after awhile, whined, took a bite of his cookie, and then went back to sleep. No lie!

Great Plains Zoo

We had a great time with Papa Mark, Nana Kelly, and Auntie Kayla at the Great Plains Zoo. And by great time, I mean great for being 1 hour overdue for a nap.

Gonnnnnng!




Looking like he could crash...
Hangin' out with his buddies...
And he did crash once we got back to the van. He was out before we even left the parking lot! What a cheap date- free pass to the zoo and didn't even have to buy him ice cream on the way home!

Papa Arlyn

We went to visit "Papa Arlyn" while he was recovering in the hospital. Bug was quite entertaining. He was busy eating Papa's cheetos, reading him books, and eating his supper! Papa Arlyn is home now...the TLC from Bug must have helped a little bit!! Bug is hoping to get to ride the tractor soon.

More Vacation

So, ask any of my friends, I am weird. One of the things that makes me weird is that I am a "Dave Ramsey follower." He's a financial guru. His take on money: Debt is dumb. Cash is king. And the paid off home mortgage has taken place of the BMW as the status symbol of choice!
Just a random musing from me today.

Anyway, more photos from our vacation.Kay-Kay got her ears pierced! Look at that proud smile!!The boys riding the Barbie Jeep!

Lunch at my favorite Chinese Bistro: PF Chang!
Carousel pre-teacup spinning.
Boys excited about the carousel ride (some more serious than others).
Kay-Kay was spinning our teacup out of control! Try being 14 weeks pregnant and spinning out of control...I'm nauseated just thinking about it.
The newest baby in the family...Kaeden Kalber. What a cutie pa-tutie.
Got in a fight with the cement. The cement won. Going down to the caves...the ONLY reason we wore sweatshirts in Alabama in August.

Vacation, Vacation!

Had a great time visiting family on vacation!!!
The best part of vacation is that you get to eat whatever you want! Bug was a huge supporter of cheetos and fruit snacks!


LOVED the airplane. He cried when we landed. The people in the airport looked on the passengers with such pity as we de-boarded. I wanted to say, "No, he was great on the flight. He threw a temper tantrum because he had to get off the plane!"

Riding cousin Kole's bike with Daddy. He would say, "Go fast, Daddy."

Getting all cleaned up!

And then go to a park and get dirty all over again...

Guess Who's Potty Trained?

Bug has been doing such a great job with potty training! He is in underwear at night too! For the past 2 weeks he has woke up dry in the morning. Still have occasional accidents, but so proud of him...and happy to have him out of diapers!!
He usually takes his nap in just underwear and a shirt. So my plan today was to get a photo, and of course he wanted to sleep in his shorts. I think it's so cute that he tells us which underwear he wants to wear when getting ready for the day. "I want Buzz Lightyear." "I want Cars." "I want Thomas and Percy."

Oh, the things the mother of a 2-year-old gets completely excited about! Go Bug, Go!!

Father's Day 2010

We had a nice Father's Day! Met my family half way and spent the day at the park. These photos are compliments of Nana Kelly! Enjoy!
