Happy Birthday to my bestest friend in the whole world!

Happy Birthday, Cal!

An upside-down picture, just for fun.

That's my boy. :)

Apple pickin'

We took our 2nd annual trip to Aamodt's Apple Farm yesterday. Here are a few pictures from our morning adventure:


First, I drove the tractors.


Then we walked through the orchard and pick some apples (or in Sammy's case, take an apple from the large bin inside and eat that as we walk around).


Lovin' the apples. (He ate four apples yesterday. Four!)


Baby Freddie went, too. In his red hat, no less. Woulda been perfect if Mommy had knit a little leaf and stem for it.

Daddy actually took pictures today. Way to go, Daddy!

Happy 1st Birthday, Baby C!

(it's your birthday already in Thailand, ignore the wrong American date!)

Hugs to you, Miss Clementine!

Anyone notice...

that my baby brother has suddenly hijacked my blog? WITW?

I'll be back, with way manlier (manlyer? manly-er?) pictures than this baby...

You know you wanted to see Freddie's diapers. :)

I love the cloth! And it's so so easy! Seriously, any of my non-cloth diapering friends out there, ask me about it if your interested. Shoot, ask me about it if you want to hear how ga-ga I am about diapers these days. Diapering! FUN! Who woulda thunk?

But wouldn't you show off this fine work?


I mean, I made the hat *and* the baby. And they are both super-stinkin' cute! Props? (pretty please?)


What's up, ladies?

Sammy is a lucky boy - a firetruck backpack!

Yeah, it's a week late, and he had to take his dad's huge "Elmo" backpack (I put Elmo stickers over the Nature Valley Granola Bars logo) the first week, but I think I've more than made up for it with this gem. He loves it and it fits him beautifully. Hooray for an awesome internet find!

Freddie's GADimal.

Who doesn't love a fuzzy butt?

Progressing and Regressing.

Both boys are too big for this seat now.

One!

Two!

Three!

This is Freddie's signature face!

First day of preschool!

Here are the pictures from Sammy's first day at school!

(***several pictures removed - there are many - If you'd like to see more please email me!***)

Heading inside! Sammy was pulling on my hand to go in as we were waiting for Hannah to arrive. He was very excited.

This is how I left him. He barely glanced up to say "bye" and give me a kiss. He was definitely ready to start school!


After a fun-filled school morning - wiped out and sweaty!

I can't believe Sammy is old enough to be going off to school. My baby has grown up into a sweet, social little monster (uh, boy - he still has his moments! LOL) and I am so proud of him. ((heart swells)) I love that little guy so much!
