So pretty.

Someone got into mommy's lipstick.

Happy belated b-day!

...to the coolest 13 year old I know. "the kids" playing with Luke's new helicopter and he couldn't get enough of it

Ian as the helipad...28 years old going on 13 ;)

all fun and games until the helicopter gets stuck in a tree and the big guy attempts to rescue it

"Big Trucks" Galore

We went to a fundraising event called Touch-a-Truck yesterday where there were, in Cal's words, lots of "big, big trucks!" - police cars, an ambulance, fire truck, garbage truck, tractors, race cars, buses, a helicopter, and more, and Cal got to sit in all of them. Of course, his favorites were the tractors with the fire/ladder truck and then ambulance coming in second and third. It was Cal's dream come true and the best $12 we've spent in a long time.

all business

and again, all business playing fireman driving the ladder truck telling me to get in his side-car ambulance fun This was insane! A helicpoter landed in the parking lot and was feet above us when it flew in. It was all fun & games until everyone watching got sprayed with debris from the ground. Now anytime Cal hears the word helicopter he covers his eye and talks about his eye hurting. Def. worth getting a little debris microdermabrasion to see this land so close. and he even got to sit in it hanging out in the drug raid rig this pretty much sums up our day - us chasing after Cal for 2 hours

Hello 3rd trimester!

Earlier this week I had another ultrasound and we got to see our sweet little baby boy. With Cal, I didn't have one this late into my pregnancy, so it was crazy to see what the baby looks like...an actual baby. I've had a bunch u/s's this time around and it's been so cool to see the baby grow, from 6 weeks being a spot on the screen to now a little babe with a precious little face. With the position of the baby when the tech was trying to get a profile shot, we ended up seeing the baby's face front on. So crazy. The tech goes, "that's some chin" and then looked at us to see who's chin it was. We knew right away where it came from...Cal (his chin was very defined & a bit pointy when he was little). Unfortunately, we didn't get a face shot, but we did see the limber little guy scratching his face with his foot and got a pic of that. the chin

Beep Beep, Who's got the keys to the jeep?!

"Happy To" Easter

... in the words of Cal. He thought Easter was an all day b-day celebration cause of all the presents and treats. We'll work on the meaning of the day next year... We had great day and enjoyed spending our very first Easter at home. I swear I am still full from all the food.

Cal's face coming down the stairs and seeing the goodies from the Easter bunny was priceless.

How many Hunters does it take to get Pez in the dispenser?

Mmm, candy for breakfast.We did a egg hunt at Jenni's house and Cal didn't make it out the door without the first causality of the day On a mission to find his share of the 97 hidden eggs (for two kids)

A little pre-Easter fun

Dying eggs with Gram and Pop

And someone thought it would be fun to dye their hands again. The blue came off within a day, but for some reason Cal's nails stayed tinted a pretty pink for several days.

On Saturday we went to up to Smallwoods, a charming petting zoo outside of Leavenworth, so Cal could get his egg hunt on and practice for the real deal on Sunday. Here's Cal scouting out the competition.

and they're off!less than excited about the Easter bunny The highlight of Cal's day was all the tractors another tractor

he was also pretty stoked about the hay ride (pulled by a tractor
