To the Zoo... again!

Ah, yes, the ZOO. A favorite pasttime of moms and kids everywhere. the best time to go is during the week. when most everyone is not able to be there, but if you are lucky, you can catch the animals at their finest.

cal, don't press that button!

And, since we have a membership and many days mommy is home all day with cal by herself, we took another brief excursion to the zoo... cal absolutely adores checking out the zoo and the bronze statues scattered throughout.

Cal and mommy went with daddy's cousin, alicia and her son Linkin...

The kids were wore down by the time we walked outta there.

Family Beach time

We decided to take advantage of the long summer evenings while they are still bright and we took a little family trip to the beach. Here are some pictures from our evening adventure...

A good time was had by all, and the car was very quiet on the way home!

homemade popsicles

Okay, so remember being a kid, and making your own popsicles in the freezer out of kool-aid or juice, or whatever you could get your hands on... Here is the new millenium version!

the neighbors brought us down some excellent homemade popsicles the other day... and BOY were they RED!!! but they were tasty too.

Then we rinsed off in our white trash backyard pool... I know I know, you are all SO jealous!

Soccer...

Calvin seems to be taking a liking to playing games and sports, which is good, since I am already looking forward to being a soccer mom... or football mom, or whatever becomes of it (hell, even a marching band mom!) So here he is taking care of business on the soccer field (aka our backyard!)

Oh, did I forget to mention that he was using a beach ball instead of a soccer ball, minor issue that we are working on! ha

Eating at the big boy table...

No, this post is not about Adam... as many of you know, he has been sitting at the big boy table for well over a couple months now... This time we are proud to announce that Cal has moved out of his high chair and is sitting at a booster seat at the big boy table!

Cal had not been eating real well in the high chair and fighting being put in it as well, so we decided to explore this option, and what do you know, it actually worked! YAY. So here he is, He loves sitting so close to mom and dad while he eats now.
