One Loooong Day for me

January 31st was a great day for me. I ran my first "official" 5k with some of my friends for the "Make a Wish" fundraiser. I had such a great time! I'm so glad I was able to to this.


Later that night one of our good friends had some extra tickets for the Wrangler Hockey game. We were able to take all of the kids and have a great time.

Here's the family together, well, almost. Maybe mom didn't take a good enough shower after her run that morning!!

Thanks Matt! We had a great time.

Caleb's 1st haircut

At the end of January, Caleb was approaching 16 months of age, and he had yet to have a hair cut! It was starting to hang over his ears and stick up all over the place (as you can see in this picture). So here he is, getting his long overdue first haircut:



He actually did really well and held still for his dad, for the most part. I have to say that he looked so grown up and old after Ryan was done :( Maybe that's why I kept putting the haircut off...

After:

You're such a cutie Caleb! Thanks for the great haircut dad!

Caleb's "trip" into the camera bag...

1/16/09
Tosha came in to Vegas one day and while we were visiting, the kids were playing in the family room. They were, of course, having a good time themselves. Here's a few pics of Caleb that day, before anything happened (foreshadowing):


Next thing I know, Caleb trips head first into his Dad's camera bag! At first it didn't seem too bad, just a small cut and bruise, but as the night wore on, it seemed to get a little worse:


However, that was nothing compared to what it looked like the next morning! It was swollen and puffy and he looked like Quasimodo (from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"):

He could open his eye, though, and he was so good about it! It didn't stay swollen too long, either (thank goodness).

What a tough kid!
