Alaska August 2010

End of August the entire Family (Kallen, Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Uncle Mike, Aunt Bonny, and Cousin Sam) went on a 7 night Alaskan Cruise for Grandma and Grandpa's 40th Wedding Anniversary. Kallen couldn't have been a better child on the cruise. It probably helped that the timing of things meant he got to take a 2 - 3 hour nap each day with Dad.

Getting ready to turn in our luggage and board the ship. Skagway

SHIP LIFE

The boys chillin'

Chillin' with Grandpa

Lots of ice cream on board! If you look closely you can see that Kallen is sticking his tongue out as I am taking a lick of his ice cream.

Playing with Uncle Mike

Family Dinner each night! We had a great table with a great view and Kallen did great. I thought the two hour dinners would do him in but besides wanting to sit on our lap a couple nights he drank water from his own wine glass and ate off the adult menu.

Ice Cream Sundae for dessert at dinner!

Back in Seattle

Halloween 2010

Halloween 2010
Here are some pictures of getting the pumpkins at the pumpkin patch and some with Kallen in his costume. I didn't actually get him in his costume on Halloween. He wouldn't ever put the hood on but right after I bought it and showed it to him I got some pictures with the hood on. We actually never went trick-o-treating, it started raining about the time it was supposed to go out. We will probably have to make sure we go next year. On Sunday I got him in his costume to go look at the witches at Gardner Village but he wasn't in the picture taking mood there!

First Snow

We woke up on Wednesday, October 27th to about 4 inches of snow. We had just bought Kallen a pair of snow boots and had been talking them up so as soon as he saw the snow he wanted to go outside and play. Not to mention that it was only about 7:00 am, hence the darkness. At least he was willing to put his snow coat on too.

Two Peas In A Pod

Our friends the Odahlen's were visiting from North Dakota. They moved before Kallen was old enough to really get to know Connor and enjoy playing with his buddy. They were like two peas in a pod for their visit.

Visit to Wheeler Farm. The boys enjoyed jumping from straw bale to straw bale.

Feeding the ducks and geese!

Reading together!

Eating ice cream!

Grandma and Grandpa's Visit October 2010

Another great visit with Grandma and Grandpa

We took a trip on the Heber Creeper. It was a 3 hour ride, Kallen slept on the way back.

Playing with Grandma and Grandpa inside and out! We always have to go on a walk to see the horses and he loved playing baseball with Grandpa.

Another tradition going to the zoo.
