The last couple of weeks.

Here's a little look at what we've been up to the last couple of weeks. We're having a little camera(s) issues so I haven't taken a ton of pics. Our days/nights have been filled with birthday celebrations, trips to Smallwoods, playdates, house chores, a fun Seattle trip with my sis/mom/luke/& kiddos and my first time to Coffeefest, Halloween fun (that's another post), hunting, etc.

and the party continues at their house, Cal was obviously excitedCal & Lo putting on a show
and this little party animal was tired but still had fun
Since we didn't make it to a pumpkin patch this year, we hit up Smallwoods - one of our faves here in the Wenatchee area.

Cal loved the animals and talked a lot about feeding them but couldn't get up quite the nerve to do it. Ian made lots of friends. I made a couple friends too. This little bugger took the whole bag of food out of my hands.We had so much fun that we went back a couple days later with Luke, Logan & Jenni.Cal thought staying in a hotel w/ Luke was awesome... So awesome that he anxiously woke up at 5:30 a.m. asking for him while Luke was in the other room sleeping. my 2 little snuggle buds And this little guy turned 4 months yesterday! He's as cute as ever, LOVES his brother and has the most infectious smile.LOVE these 3!

Amazing

We were driving over town the other day and there was the most amazing rainbow. It was perfectly arched and went from E. Wenatchee to Wenatchee (for those that don't know, the 2 towns are separated by the Columbia river). Pictures don't do it justice....

Busy Bees

Pics and an update to come soon... Hopefully in the next couple of days. Plain & simple, we've been really busy. The teething monster also started showing its ugly head around here so our great little sleeper, Bennett, has not been sleeping so great so I've been trying to hit the sack a little earlier, cutting into blog time.

Check em out!

My folks had their pics done with Mary (MKC Photography) last week and I'm in aww with how they turned out. Seeing mom & dad with all their grandbabies makes me so happy, and looking at Luke in these pics makes me totally nostalgic. Where did the last 13 years go?! Check out the slideshow of pics HERE.

Crazy happy.

That's what Ian & I coined B, crazy happy. This little guy loves all, loves everything, loves his brother, apparently loves kitties (he's was loving on my sis' cat today) and loves being loved. He's got a smile that just melts your heart and the best dimples in the world.

He's on the move! After weeks of teetering on his side, Bennett started rolling a week ago and he hasn't stopped. He's going from back to front and just started going front to back too.

kisses fascinated with his fuzzy booties
this picture kills me

and some pics of big brother carving pumpkins w/ Pa

A little blog time for my lil' lady.

Our poor dogs. They used to be our world and then Cal & Bennett came along. We still love these two little fur balls very much, they are just treated a little more like dogs than they used to be.

Fire Chief Cal

BEST. DAY. EVER (for Cal that is). The E. Wenatchee fire dept. had an open house this last weekend so we took the kiddos and Cal was in heaven! He got to see all the fire rigs up close and personal, met the fire chief, took a ride on a little fire truck (x2) and more. He even wore his "fire chief" Halloween costume to look the part. We've been so bogged down in getting settled in the new house, furniture shopping, etc. that we haven't had much time for "fun" things with the kids so this made for the perfect Saturday morning. first ride with dadsecond ride, he wanted to do it alone
And the fun didn't stop there... Cal won a ride on a real fire truck (we entered a raffle) and he gets to take a couple friends. How fun is that?!?

This kid has some serious luck on his side. He also won a Fred Meyer gift card for learning about fire safety so he scouted out the toy ad and went with Gram & Pop to Freddies yesterday to spend his gift card and pick out some toys all on his own. Here he is with his goodies.
