Loving a Bath with Grammy Claudia

Callan has never cried during his bath. He loves the water. He especially loves it when Grammy Claudia gives him a bath. This picture perfectly captures how much he loves his bath, but more importantly how much he loves his Grammy.

Callan Gets a Haircut

Jackson did not need a haircut until he was 2 and 1/2. Braden was around 1 when he first needed a haircut. Callan was around 2 months. Apparently we would have a chewbacca if we had another child! Here is a quick shot of Callan's first haircut. I have to get him used to the clippers early so we can afford all of the haircuts that we need at our house!

Going to the Pumpkin Patch

We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch in October. We saw the animals, picked pumpkins and rode the train. It was a great afternoon!

I just love this sweet little face!

This one is not so goofy. I love Braden's smile!

Cousin Sydney and Grammy Agnes

During my maternity leave I tried to make time to see the family with Callan. One day we went over to Great Grandma Agnes' house for some snuggles. Callan even got to spend some time cuddling with his cousin Sydney.

Goofball

I feel like most of the pictures of Braden lately have been goofy. He is our hilarious little goofball. Braden is a three year old who is full of passion and humor. This picture makes me smile!

Reading to Papa

Jackson is now a full blown reader! We are so proud of the progress he has made this year. We are also so thankful that Grammies and Papa are willing to read with him.

Smiley Boy

One of Callan's first smiles!

A Few of our favorites...

Because Callan is our last little one, I thought I would take a picture of a few of the favorite onesies all three boys wore. It is hard to believe how quickly Callan got too big for these! This time, instead of into the red bins, into a goodwill bag they go! Oh the nostalgia of the last baby!

Silly Little Monkey

Braden has a pretty wicked sense of humor. He is a goofball and loves to make us laugh. He also has no shame about dressing in silly outfits. He loves his monkey beanie and slippers, we love his goofy little self!

Brothers

I am just loving my pile of boys!

A Visit With Friends

This fall the Zeebs came to visit. It was so fun to see them and catch up in person. After two years it was like the kids had been hanging out just yesterday. They played and played in the backyard! We love the Zeebs!

Callan is 2 Months

A few shots of Callan at 2 months. He is a happy boy who is starting to really smile and laugh!

Snuggly Jackson

Jackson has always loved to snuggle. We have a cozy new blanket that he just loves!

Jackson's Sunflower

During Kindergarten last year Jackson planted a sunflower. He brought it home at the beginning of the summer and we watched it grow all summer long. Since summer was late in coming this year it took until September to really hit its stride. But, oh did it grow! It was a beautiful flower, and it got so tall!
