Christmas Pics

We had a great Christmas, and Calvin was a very lucky boy. He got a batman car from katelyn, his Trio Batcave from Grandma, a batman fishing pole, books, Moon Dough, movies, and mommy searched high and low for a giant "Breaky Man" otherwise known as Fantastic Four's the Thing. Calvin first spotted a giant ceramic Thing at a gift shop in Spokane. He had a giant melt down over the fact that we refused to buy the $50 ceramic. A. It was ceramic, not really play worthy. B. Sorry kid, I love you but $50 bucks is more than I spend on a just because gift ;) So I searched and searched for something comparable, and I think I found the only available one. He was stoked! Thank goodness!!! Santa also brought Calvin the Dragon house he had been begging for for 6 months. So it was a good day!
Carter, Calvin and Uncle Dane (Can you see the love?)

Bug and Adele

Meeting Li Xuan

This is Li Xuan (pronouced Li Chen), my newest niece, born just one day after Adele. So cute and tiny tiny! We loved meeting her, and would really like some recent pictures (hint hint). I'm not even sure my brother reads my blog, so he may not get the hint.

We all had to take our turns holding the cuteness...I think Dane needs a baby. We are all anxious to see the gorgeous thing him and Jacque produces.

And here is cutey patootie Ping...

And this is what Calvin does while we wait for our table at the restaurant...

I love this little head so much! He loved everything about being in the boat.

Smarty pants Poopster, put up the parking break way too far...we lost the race home :(

4th of July

I have to say nothing is more aggrivating then buying an expensive camera, and having all your pictures turn out blurry. I'm not sure what was the prob here, dirty lens, a photographer that doesn't bother to read manuals, who knows, but here is the best of what I could salvage with the 4th.

Calvin and Carter had a great time with the sparklers until my baby grabbed one from the wrong end.

Dall and Calvin Jacque and Dane

Family photo op and Dall doing his best at photo bombing.

The Fireworks....

Carter and Megan, the girls, Calvin and Daddy.

And of course we can't forget my mom's birthday, she had great helpers!

Pool time!

My little no fear dare devil. I have to fight to get him to wear a life jacket (known to him as the special diving jacket).

My bro...


I have no idea what Calvin was trying to do, other than be a clown? I'm also not sure why Carter had his suit pulled down, but I caught him in action.

Jaleese, Me and Jill... and then somehow this went from this (below)...

They are laughing about something, so I'm laughing innocently too, not knowing their evil plan. See below and see if you can figure it out...
