Golfing with Scott

Kevin went golfing with Scott and got hit by a golf ball!! He had no warning. he was a bout to swing and WHAM!!! he was hit in the back by a golfball. Yikes! He was fine...just sore... and the guys continued to play.

Caleb and Daddy put a sprinkler system in the front yard this summer. Mommy loves not having to drag sprinklers and hoses all over! Thanks guys!

Caleb's New Room

Caleb decided that he wanted to move into our computer room and let the new baby have his old room. With a lot of help from Nana and Papa with decorating and designing, Caleb got the room of his dreams.

Date Night

Tonight was our last date night before the baby comes. We spent it shopping at Babies R Us in Tacoma and then went out for dinner at The Spaghetti Factory.

A Day Out with Thomas (and daddy and Papa too!)

Papa and Daddy took Caleb to spend a "Day Out With Thomas" at the NW Railway Museum in Snoqualmie. Caleb got to ride on Thomas and play with trains. He was a bit overwhelmed by the crowds of people. He had been waiting for July to come for months in anticipation of this day!

Independence Day

Caleb loved the fireworks last 4th of July so I assumed he would want to go see them this year. I was wrong! Even the pop-its he did with daddy and Uncle T were too loud for him. The pop-its and smoke bombs made him cry so we decided that we'd all go to bed early and skip the firework show this year.
