Kids Triathlon

 Jonathan and David participated in the 2nd Annual Kid Tri Harder Triathlon. They loved it. They smiled the whole time! I was worried at first because we had to wait a long time to start. They did the kids in waves instead of starting them all at once. They swam a 25 (Jonathan and David clung to a lifeguard for a 25), biked around the block, and ran around the parking lot. I asked David what his favorite part was, and he said, "Running and jumping in the puddles!" It was a very wet rainy morning! They had a pancake breakfast afterwards, and all the kids got a medal. It is definitely a do it again activity! Way to go Jonathan and David!

Caleb Turns 1!

 Caleb is just so cute and sweet, I just want to gobble him up! He says, "I did it", "Amen" (he folds his arms too.), "Dad", "Mom", "this", "that", "cat", "dog". He does baby signs for "airplane," "more", and "down." He isn't walking, but he is climbing! he gets up on the couch and up on the big boys beds, and he climbs up and down the stairs like a pro. He is still cuddly and loves giving big wet kisses. He wants to be wherever Jonathan and David are and does not like to be left out! He also wants to make as much noise as possible so he is never forgotten. Lately, he just yells and screams for fun while we are driving around. Jonathan and David say, "Be quiet, Caleb," or "Shhhhhh!" Caleb says, "Shhhhhhh!" right back, laughs, and starts screaming again. 

 Jonathan and David got magnifying glasses. They love walking around looking at all the bugs crawling around outside. There was a couple of days when all the winged ants were out, and the boys spent all day outside finding "queens."

Gotta have lots of dessert on your birthday! The cupcakes we ate after breakfast, I think. Jonathan picked out the icecream for dessert after dinner.

Bonding Time

We were so lucky this year that McAfee switched over to Intel Security, and Intel gives their employees bonding time. It has to be used in the first year after the baby is born, and the Intel switch happened on July 1. Edmund was able to take the first two weeks of July off and be at home bonding with his family. I was in heaven. I wish we could all hang out together all the time. Our sprinklers started leaking and filling up one of the window wells, so Edmund pretty much spent two weeks fixing sprinklers, but he also got a lot of Lego building, and the beginning of potty training for David time!

 

 I got a baby bike seat for my birthday! David and Caleb both love it!

 We were doing a project outside and Caleb got mega dirty, and I believe he is eating chalk in this picture. Yuck!

 Waving goodbye to Daddy!
