Monster Truck Jam

We went to Monster Truck Jam at the RBC center this past weekend with Nicki and her kids and Tina and her family. Caleb was mesmerized by all the trucks and could hardly tear his eyes away long enough for us to get a picture.

I'm excited because it means that he's finally old enough to go to things like this!

Welcome Baby Wyatt

Here's some pics from our visit to the Spears family. Wyatt is a beautiful new addition to their family and I feel very lucky to have been able to be there to meet him!

For more pics (and I mean many many more), see the link to Sandy & Justin's website.

Visit with Kellie

Here's our visit with Kellie. During our visit up to DC we got a chance to hang out with Kellie who was in VA for training. It was great to see a Vancouverite and a familiar face after all these years 'down south'.

DC

Here we are in DC on our quick sighseeing tour with a crash course on American history given by Nicki. We were up there to visit Nicki's brother and his wife and their newest addition, Wyatt Liem.

Hugs from Gabi

One day we'll look back and see the beginnings of toddler romance. Gabi was giving Caleb a hug and looking so sly while doing so.

Caleb Talking....Le Ho Mah?

Caleb Talking...I'm so excited that he's starting to really talk! From what I see, there's a lot of learning done from the ages of 2 and 3 in regards to speaking and language development.

My big boy here loves to climb right into the front seat and make himself comfortable even though I tell him that we can't go anywhere until he gets out, gets into his carseat and buckles in. I couldn't resist a picture so that I can show him on the day he goes into take his drivers permit test. :)

Before and After

My before and after pics of my haircut.

Mommy's Hair Cut

I finally got my hair cut....it was long over due...

Painting Day

Here's Caleb flexing some of his artistic ability. He made quite the mess and seemed to enjoy every minute of it...

Christmas

Here are some pictures taken on Christmas with us and our Christmas gifts. My sister has become quite the domesticated seamstress and made us both reversable aprons (a back up plan in case her PhD gig starts to bore her :)) And of course, thanks to Daddy, Caleb made out like a bandit with his collection of tonka trucks, kitchen set, Doodle Pro and various other toys.

More Pictures from the Santa Brunch

Just some random pictures of us at the Santa's brunch. Here we're waiting for the line to Santa to die down so that we could get in some good pictures. Afterwards we went to through the museum of life and science and Caleb had a ball looking at everything.

Caleb's 2nd Birthday

Caleb's 2nd birthday party was Sunday and we had a sesame street theme since his new favourite friend is 'Ernie'. We kept it small with some neighbors and a handful of friends and I think it was a success. We had cake, opened presents and did a quick arts and crafts project where we had everybody put their hand print down so that Caleb can see who was all at his party later.

Ahh...this string is itchy!!!

Hey look! It's Ernie in my seat!!!
