Fun with the Hobbs Fam...

Here are pictures of: Gavin (7), Isabel(5), and Jocelyn (1 1/2) Hobbs. They came all the way from Des Moines to play with us. We had a good time swimming, grilling, and shooting water guns. Isabel even helped make pancakes the next morning.

Fourth of July Grill Out

TJ, Sarah, and Ellie had us over on the 4th for some good food and good fun. Caelan ADORES Ellie as you can see. The pictures would be better if I could figure out how to get two little ones to smile at the same time. Here are some action shots. This day really tired the little man out.

Safe Fun with Fireworks

Mommy's favorite: Snakes. They don't jump at you.

Daddy's favorite: Any firework that makes Mommy nervous.

Caelan's favorite: Tanks. They get Oscar the most worked up.

BB King was Fun

He was great! Look how close our camera makes it look like we were. :-)

Caelan and Cameron

We were able to go over to Chuck and Sarah's house to meet Cameron. He is a one year old, and he is SO cute. Here they are creating things with playdo.

Aren't They Handsome?

Cyickle

That's no typo. That's what we call motorcycles at our house. It's one of the many new words the K-man has given us. Here he is riding a big-boy ride at SITP.

Saturday in the Park

It turns out it is fun for kiddos too! He brings new meaning to the words "hang on tight". That kid's got a death grip on the train. He was all business, but this was his favorite ride.

Here was a good pose by little man...

He was getting mommy out of a bind before her 10 year reunion. We're waiting until he's two for his next pictures, so I needed to snap a shot before heading off to the party. He did a great job with little notice.

K-Man and Great Grandma Malcom

Caelan had a good time with Great Grandma Malcom (G.Grndma Welcome to him). As does everyone, he LOVED seeing her. He saw the pictures at home and said "gate gamma welcome....nice...kiss...). So, she made a big impression on the little guy. Here he is showing off his bubble blowing skills.

Washing the Cars

with Daddy.

Jamie was sweet and she got me a birthday cake. Jamie was mean when she decided to put on all 28 candles AND light them. I think Simon referred to it as a "raging fire." He also said things like, "Why is it taking so long, Jamie?" Nice. No, but seriously it was a very fun time and a very nice surprise.

The Many Faces of Fun...

Look how cute baby Mason is. He's so very tiny and wonderful. Nice work Teresa and Dan!

Jamie Got a Phone Call...

So Caelan answered it for her, and then gave her the phone.

Cute Shot with Ralphie

Here Caelan is waiting to see Teresa and Dan's baby, Mason. Ralphie helps him look out the window at Jamie's house.

Look How Cute They Are...

Especially when they don't know their picture is being taken.

Ellie and Caelan

Ellie and Caelan couldn't swim on Wednesday due to the weather. Soooo, Sarah came up with a brilliant plan to take the kids to McDonald's playland. It...was....AWESOME!!!

Ellie was a wonderful tour guide through the tunnels. She watched out for Caelan when the big kids came along. Both mommies got to sit, relax and talk while the kiddos ran and ran and ran. It was a great alternative to the pool. Look how cute the buddies are!!

Hanging out with the Grandparents

He just had a blast! He rode in the truck and the wagon. He went to see a choo choo. He also mow, mow, mowed da grass.

Grawa's Little Helper

E I E I O Hat

He looks like he could wrangle even in PJ's.
