Hanging with Max and Wood

Max, Wood and Erin Clark came over for a delicious gourmet Costco pizza dinner the other night. Wood got Caleb to ride his motorcycle... finally!! Now he'll ride it all by himself... though his steering needs some work.

Swimming with Papa

Caleb and Papa spent alot of time swimming this summer at The Valley. Caleb jumps in, goes under, comes up with his eyes still open and LOVES it!!! He's a little fish.

Ready, Set... GO!!! Big splash! "Oh hi, mommy. Look at this!" Papa and Caleb call this the 'Torpedo'. Caleb loves the 'Torpedo'!!

Funny Caleb!!!

We are working on potty training in our house. Today I let Caleb wear his "big boy underwear". He LOVES it!!! But he really still doesn't understand that it is NOT a diaper. Anyway, he was sitting on his little potty chair and we were talking and I asked him "What comes out of your bottom, Caleb?" And his reply "My foot." WHAT????? If he thinks his foot comes out of his bottom then this potty training business might take a LONG time!!!

Some Kauai pics

Kelly and Barry with their fruity drinks at Kalypso. Kelly's was called the Backscratcher... and came with one in her drink! I can't recall the name of Barry's drink but it looks pretty manly...probably the 'Terminator' or 'Stinky Gym Socks' or something like that.

Walk like an Egyptian... dancing at the condo.

No words for this priceless picture of Barry

Many have been asking to see some pictures of our recent Hawaiian vacation. We took so many that WE haven't even seen them all yet. I am just starting a photo album too. So, here is a sneak peek of our Kauai vacation...

Rick and Jamie's

We spent the weekend with Rick and Jamie. Caleb and Kevin went with Rick to a remote controlled airplane event. It was pretty cool. Caleb loved the planes. Kevin and Rick were just jealous. Rick wants to buys some new planes now. Kevin was just jealous they could keep them in the air and land them. He is still honing his flying skills. Caleb also got to go to Lynden's dream park and play in the stream. Auntie JJ (Jamie) and Missy got to do a little shoping and girl stuff, while the boys played. Pretty much the perfect weekend.

Swimming, losing your breath, and a birthday

We celebrated Seth's 8th birthday. It was quite an event. Seth had it at a gymnastics place in Moses Lake. The kids ran themselves ragged, jumping all over the place. Caleb didn't stop running for the hour and a half we were there. We tried to get pictures of him, but they were all just little blurs. He slept well that night. The Wemps also got a new pool. For some reason they decided to fill it with water that Kevin would swear was piped in directly from a Glacier. Of course Caleb and Seth and Ezra didn't know it was cold. They couldn't understand why Uncle Kevin could not breath when he first got in. Kevin, Seth and Ezra got to have a water baloon fight too. Kevin won, but got yelled at by the Mom's for being too awesome. Although they called it "being mean."

Missy got in on the action, but refused to get in the Glacial Spring.

Seth trying to figure out why Uncle Kevin can't breath.

The pool did have moments where it seemed warmer.

Seth taking the Nestea plunge, and showing off his super power of being impervious to unnaturally cold things.

Aunt Kelly stayed away from the "warm" pool too.

Caleb and his buddies

Caleb got a chance to hangout with his buddies Max and Wood. They had a great time blowing bubbles and riding the Kawasaki. Well, Max and Wood loved the motorcycle anyway. They all had a great time playing on the slides.
