James Bond Again

Caleb's tuxedo came in today, so we had to try it on!

 

Last Soccer Game

Today was Caleb's last soccer game. He seemed to enjoy playing soccer more this time around. This last game was cold though! He did lots of running around to keep warm and Tyler and Garett were great at hanging in there since it was cold! Then we went to McDonalds with his team to have a little party!

 
 
 
 

Happy 9 Months, Garett!

Garett is 9 months old today! He's getting so big! He still really doesn't have any desire to crawl, but he does manage to get around and is starting to try to pull up more and more.



Here's a quick preview of Tyler in his tuxedo for Aunt Sarah's wedding!

Caleb Rocks

Caleb has been sneaking into mommy's bed in the morning...just resting up for his guitar hero playing in the afternoon!



He's still pretty squeeky, but he has a great time trying!

The Jars Are Full

For our countdown to daddy's return this time, we are doing something different. Since Caleb is a little older and he understands more, we thought a visual reminder would be a good way to go this time. So we have three jars each filled with a certian number of "kisses from daddy" and each of them get one a day. Mommy gets Garett's for the time being. Caleb understands that when the jars are empty, that it is time for daddy to come home. Tyler (for now) understands that when he gets up from his nap he gets a treat!

 

Harvest Party and Visitor

Caleb had a harvest party at school today. He got to pick out a pumpkin and go on a hayride with his class. They also had a party with some yummy treats! Tyler and Garett got to visit as well, which means Tyler got to have a cookie or two himself!

 
 
 

And here is our visitor who was waiting for us to come home from church tonight- yuck!
 

(they only seem to show up when daddy is gone!)

Preschool PJ Party

We had a really great time at the pj party tonight! Caleb made a bird feeder, Tyler had a great time building and Garett just loved rolling around on the floor. It was enough to tire us out, so we are off to bed!

 
 
 

That time again

Here we are saying goodbye to daddy at the airport. We also got to see the huge plane that he was taking (Caleb and Tyler were really impressed by it).

Our Pumpkins

In their new pumpkin shirts:

 

 

 

 

Up there!

Caleb and Tyler had a conversation with a cow today....

First the hug...
 

Up there!
 

Obviously the cow was confused!
 

New creatures for our house

Since daddy is getting ready to head off again, we got to make some new animals to keep us company when we get lonely. Caleb chose a dinosaur, Tyler chose a koala bear and Garett chose a cuddly teddy bear. Caleb and Tyler both enjoyed stuffing their animals and Garett was just amazed by the big machine that had all of the stuffing in it!

 
 
 
 

Random Fun

So one of the fun things about having a baby is that you can pretty much put anything on them and they won't complain too much! This, for example, is a mask off of a stuffed animal- looks pretty cute on Garett though!

 

Caleb and Tyler were racing with Lilly the other night- it was pretty funny to watch!
 
 

Busch Gardens Part I

We went to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg today with some friends. Everyone had a really great time! We got to ride lots of rides and we liked almost all of them!
