October

This is Neeve trying out her new toy, of course Caleb likes it more than she does.


Caleb and dad mowing the lawn together - it is quite cold out - there were small snowflakes coming down at the time.


Neeve, just hanging out, practicing sitting up.

New York City part 2

Here we are on the Brooklyn Bridge, after we left here, we went to china town to get some dinner and wound up in the middle of a street fair in Little Italy - after trekking through the crowd for a while we found a great Italian restaurant that we decided was the best food of the whole trip.


This is the Manhattan Temple for anyone who hasn't seen it before, I had been here before and thought they might upgrade the buildings looks, but nope, it still looks kind of old.


This is Caleb making friends in Central Park.


We went to the aquarium the last day while Jon was at the conference, we had a pretty good time - it wasn't anywhere near as big as the Zoo, but still had some fun exhibits.


This is the Alien Stingers exhibit.


While we were walking the boardwalk in Conney Island, all Caleb wanted to do was play with the sand that came up from the beach.


This is the 3 of us on our way home on the Subway - both kids did surprisingly well as travelers, from stroller, to subway, to cab,


to airplane.


Caleb wanted to portray Lady Liberty a couple of days after we got home.

New York City part 1

Here we are at the top of the Empire State Building - both babies were out for the entire excursion.


This is Caleb swinging in the Bronx. We found a park on our round about way to the Zoo.



There were some cool looking turtles in the tank that you can't really see.


Caleb loved the petting Zoo.

And the Peacocks.

This is us at Grand Central Station.

We were wondering who put up the BYU flag?


On the boat to the Statue of Liberty.

Looking back at the New York Skyline.

Us and Lady Liberty.


And Yes if you were wondering I did get my hair cut - the day before we left. I decided to donate it for locks of love - so it ended up shorter than I had anticipated.

Campout

Well here is our first campout of the summer - I know it has been a busy summer, and it was a long winter before that, so needless to say, we finally made it out.


Caleb is happy to be out of his bed (note the cardboard box behind him).


Neeve slept like a trooper - just the same schedule as any other night. Look at that sweet face - she really is a doll.


Everyone is pretty tired after the restless night.


Caleb and Dad - the mountain men.


Caleb will make a bat out of anything in order to round up a game of baseball, note the stick in the photo above.

We had a fun weekend - we went to the local Demolition Derby!
Here is just a little taste of the excitement. It got even more exciting as the night wore on. In the Powder Puff - one of the girls flipped another car, right in front of us!

Neeve has begun to coo - we think it is darling.

Here are the latest.

Neeve is a smiler.

We hiked up Battle Creek Canyon.

This photo was taken just after lightening flashed overhead. Just after the photo, the cloud burst and it poured on us.

New Photos

Sorry it has been so long, we didn't have internet access, then we got a new computer, and we just haven't been able to get photos to the right place, but here goes.

Caleb is a little climber.

We went to a ballgame in Arizona, Caleb is an old pro, but it was Neeve's first game.

We blessed Neeve in Arizona, none of our family photos looked very good.

Caleb jumping on Mom and Dad's bed. He is an attention seeker.
