Caleb!

Here are a couple pictures of Caleb this summer...he's been having a great time the last couple months. I'm sure if you asked him, summer would be his favorite season. He loves to be outside. Some highlights so far...Tower's Day parade in Spring Lake Park this June (the first picture...a vulcan drew a mustache on his face. He thought that was pretty cool!)...hula hooping (Grandma bought him that and Dua taught him how, he's pretty good!)...and just hanging out at home, playing outside, riding his bike, helping Daddy with yard work. The older boys are at daycare too since there isn't school and Caleb really enjoys playing with them (Ethan and Dakota). He's also been up to the farm several times this summer and I am sure he thinks it's the best place on earth, just like Grandpa and Uncle Joey. Uncle Joey and Auntie Steph have also taken him fishing once (pictures of that to come!) and he loved that so much! He's been playing t-ball (pictures of that to come, too) since June and is really enjoying that too.

Cute kiddos!

Here's a couple recent pictures of the kids together. They are playing together more and more these days, usually because Ella wants to do whatever Caleb is doing. Playing in the diaper box in Ella's room has been a fun activity for awhile now..it's funny because I know there are pictures of me and my brother sitting in box like that, too. Ella can get up on the couch now by herself, so she'll climb up there and sit with Caleb (or push him out of his spot).

Mother's Day weekend

I spent Mother's Day weekend (Friday night and Saturday at least) up in Osakis at the farm with my family. That Saturday we had a baby shower for my cousin Darcie, so I went to that with Ella, my mom, sister and Stephanie. It was fun and Ella was pretty well-behaved. She looked super cute with her dress and pigtails. Her hair is long enough for that now but she hates me messing with it! So it's pretty rare that I can actually get pigtails IN! The kids were also able to play up at the farm, it was the first time Ella was really old enough to experience any of that. Of course she loved it. I knew she would. She wandered around outside just like Caleb and even rode on the 4 wheeler and tractor a little too. On Sunday we were back at home and had dinner at my parents' house. Caleb and I went to Bachmann's to pick out a gift for my mom and he was so cute looking at stuff for Grandma! I let him pick out his own present and he choose a little frog to put in the garden. He was so proud.
