Monster Jam

Chad and Keston went to Monster Jam last night. Chad says, "We went to Monster Jam. It was fun!." And Keston says, "They crushed cars and they jumped very high and Superman truck was there and Grave Digger was there- everyone was there. And they jumped very very high and very big like this (arms open as wide as possible). And I loved it."

Happy Birthday Calon!

Calon turns 1 today! Time goes by so fast it is incredible! Grammy, Auntie Dani, cousin Mia, Mimi and Papa came up this weekend to help us celebrate. We had a great time with everyone. We were able to go the aquarium and the botanic gardens on Saturday and had a lot of fun. We had Calon's party at Chuck E Cheese on Sunday- which was nothing like I remembered from my youth, but was still a blast. Calon liked opening presents better than I thought he would and loved his new sock monkey jack in the box and hokey pokey Elmo. He didn't however care for the cake, didn't want to play with or eat it-( just when you think you know how they'll react to things they throw you for a loop.) It was a wonderful weekend for a darling, loving, amazing baby boy- big boy.

Cardinal Fever

Even though the Cardinals didn't win we sure has a lot of fun cheering for them and watching the game! The first picture is with our awesome 3D glasses we used to watch 1 commercial-ya!

Pumpkin Pie Haicutted Freak

Well, Calon had a lovely head of hair, but it was starting to get in his eyes, so we took him to get his first haircut! He was better much than we expected (we expected it to be a big fight-that is the only reason we didn't try it at home first)- but instead of a tiny trim around the face and in the back she butched and crookified the bangs and the back had the right half at 1/2 inch long and the left half at like 2 inches long- it was awful. So now he went from having awesome hair, to being a pumpkin pie haircutted freak, to buzzed. Yep, it was so bad we buzzed him- we did it on the longest setting possible, so it can grow back quick. It looks better buzzed then we thought it would, but I am so sad:( Here are some pics of the adventure in Calons' loss of hair. In the pics of him in the tub, the crooked bangs have not been partially buzzed- that's how she cut his hair!

Chad and the Cardinals Game

Go Cardinals Go!!!

Well, the Cardinals Rock this season and tomorrow is the NFC Championship game- Chad is so excited (as any life long Cardinal's fan would be) and he has given us all football fever- he's got Keston going around the house saying "Cardinal's Rule- Eagles suck"- he even has me looking forward to the game- (though I'm not sure whether I am excited about the game as much as I am excited about eating delicious snack foods! :) ) Anyway- for whatever reason we are all really pumped for the game tomorrow!

In other news- Calon loves trying to race to the kitchen before we can stop him from playing with Tank's food and water- this time he made a beeline for Tank's Kennel and got stuck, so here are a couple pics of that and just a few other pics from the last week...
