Hawaii Pics on Hold

Caleb is sick. Just gave him his third bath of the day. Just started the 4th load of laundry. Won't go into the diaper issues...

Hawaii pics on hold..

Hawaii Pics #1

We spent a lot of time at the beach and at the pool in Hawaii. That equaled lots of time putting on sunscreen and lots of snacks. You can see from these pictures that the boys certainly didn't let sand get in the way of their snacking!


Caleb and Owen enjoy some goldfish.

I'm a boy, mom. I don't worry about a little sand with my snack. I like to eat dirt.

It sure was a lot of work getting up, eating breakfast, and putting on sunscreen before heading to the beach at 9:00am. Caleb decided he was ready for a nap!Jon's brother, Eric, and Caleb's cousin, Owen, relax on the beach chairs.

Injuries...

We are back from Hawaii and had a nice trip. I will post some pictures when I have a bit more time. Here is a picture of Caleb that we took before we left. He had been playing in front of my closet mirror, and it fell out of the brackets to the floor and then fell forward right on his face. The corner scratched his forehead, cheek, and chest. Thank goodness his eye was fine! I have a feeling that this won't be the only Caleb post labeled "Injuries". However, it is amazing how fast babies' skin heals. His face was back to normal in 2 days time.

Caleb is anticipating the King of the Mountain stages of the Tour de France, which we seem to have 3 hours of on our Tivo every night.

Not the Best Combination...

I did it; Jon took the picture! BLAH! Click on the picture to see what makes it so gross!

Tubtime! 1981

Who is this a picture of?

Tubtime!

Caleb's new favorite thing to do in the tub is to lay on his stomach and "blow bubbles". He can actually blow some bubbles, but he sure does swallow a lot of water in the process! Doesn't he look like such a big boy in this picture?

Lake Weekend with The Durands

We spent the Fourth of July with our friends, the Durands, at their lakehouse on Possum Kingdom lake. We had a fabulous time hanging out with friends and family and enjoying boat rides and swimming.Jon and Caleb paused for a quick picture on the patio before walking down to the boat for our morning trip to the "sandy beach", where the kids (2 one year olds and 2 three year olds) played in the sand and swam.

I just put this picture in to give you a picture of how Caleb felt about his life vest. It definitely was not his favorite part of the experience! Between the sunscreen in his eyes and the life vest trauma, he had a major meltdown during our first boat ride. Jon got sunscreen in his eyes too and had his own minor meltdown. Time for me to look for a different kind of sunscreen!

This is a picture of Caleb and Jackson sitting on the back of the boat while we were at the beach. They had a great time "jumping" off of the back of the boats to their parents. They would just sit there and lean forward until they fell into our hands. In the picture they are both very interested in a passing boat.

Finally here is a picture of Jon and Caleb playing in the water. Caleb loved swimming in the lake. For some reason, he wanted nothing to do with me while in the water. He only wanted his daddy. Jon would try to take a break and hand him off to me, and Caleb would start crying and reaching back towards Jon. This is a reversal of the norm, and I think Jon enjoyed the special bonding time with his boy. When Caleb was younger (funny to be saying that..), he would say "mamamamama" when he wanted to eat and "dadada" while he was playing. So Caleb pretty much wants me when he is hungry and Jon when he is ready for an adventure. I guess that is about right!

Thanks, Durands for a fun weekend!

Trouble

Looks like a lot of trouble! Caleb "experienced" the sprinklers last night, and then Jon styled his hair. It still looked somewhat like this when he woke up this morning.
