The Woes Of Motherhood

I normally don't post without pictures....but I am desperate for any suggestions and help! My poor little Caleb is teething... and not one at a time. He screams and screams and nothing seems to soothe him. He isn't sleeping either....not for naps or at night. I am so extremely tired. Anyone know any good tricks?

It's so hard to watch him just scream and know that nothing is making it any better. I hate to watch him suffer so.

Puppy Play Time -

We love to play with Shermie...

Dish Duty

If anyone knows Sherman - you know how much he enjoys helping with the dishes after any meal...to the extreme of climbing into the dishwasher to lick the plates. Well, we have a new helper in the house!!!

Bubbles, Bubbles, Everywhere Bubbles

We broke out the bubbles for the first time with Caleb. He enjoyed it. Sherman did too.

Family Pictures

Well -- I'm behind on posting these. Caleb is about 6 months in these... so they are a little old. But they turned out so cute. Thanks Greg.
(Again you can click on any of these to see them larger)

Caleb was so tired by the end of the day when we did this... there are very few smiles from him. The smile pictures where all earlier at Nicole's baby blessing. I'll post those soon...

Can You Believe It!

After a few weeks of struggling and lots of belly flops and frustration... he finally did it. He can crawl!!! Now I have to baby proof the house!


Caleb's Halloween Mirror

I have a mirror that I've used for Halloween for years now. It has a small button that when pushed it lights up a skeleton behind the glass and screams. I wasn't too sure about letting Caleb have it for fear he might freak out and cry. Watch the reaction!

Balloon Fiesta 2008

We usually go every year...but this year we went 3 times. We had Melissa (Craig's sister) and Kaylene (Craig's mother) come to visit just for the event. It was so much fun!

This is a new attempt for displaying the images...hope you all enjoy!

Final Stop - The Stadium Tour

We figured we ought to take advantage of the trip and tour the stadium as well. So Monday morning we got early to take a tour of Invesco before we headed back to Albuquerque.

The hat we bought for Caleb the day before was was too big...but they didn't have anything smaller and we figured he'd grow into it...but it is silly looking on him.

And just so everyone knows...the name of the horse atop the stadium is BUCKY! Some silly radio listener named him. The horse running across the field is actually Thunder.

Even though we didn't get to go in every part of the stadium...it was really neat. Enjoy all the photos. And if you want the skinny on the stadium... let us know... we learned a lot -- like the 40+ miles of beer line pipe run through the stadium. WOW!








Destination - Invesco Field at Mile High

I can't tell you how spoiled my boys are... within six months they have been to New York - Yankees Stadium and now to Denver to Invesco Field -Mile High. They were so very excited. Here are some pictures of all of us before the Game! (Remember - the weather was supposed to be rainy and cooler... and all we had was HOT HOT Sun the whole time)

The thing Caleb is sitting in is supposed to be a football tee - enlarged as a art feature along the walkway. There is also a mouth guard, a shoulder pad, a face-mask, A chin-strap, a cleat... it was neat.





Here is our seat... similar to Yankee Stadium (at the very top of steep stairs)...
Here it is from down on the field... see if you can find where we were sitting. Section 539 Row 25 Seats 13-16.


I unfortunately didn't get a picture of Caleb glued to the Cheerleaders...but he loved to watch them come out onto the field...typical boy! But here are some shots from during the game... including Thunder the horse ... who runs across every time we score, Miles the Mascot, and a drumline called Stampeded (a division of the Blue Knights).




And here is Caleb during the game... (how cute!)

Hotel Denver

So after leaving beautiful Vail and the gorgeous hotel room with a view we headed to Denver to meet up with Craig's parents for a Bronco Game. Caleb enjoyed showing off while in the hotel.



While in the room Caleb began a new game of Flip Me - Roll Over!
