Farm Boy

Neighbor Tracy parked the swather here at our house again. Oh joy. Looks like Daddy and I get to cut the grass again.

Few minor repairs needed. Better check it out with Daddy and give him my two cents (just so he knows I am Mommy's boy!).

OK, back in the cab for a systems check. "Caleb ... what are you doing in there?" says Daddy.

Seriously, are we ready yet or what? I'm dying here.

Time to go. Didn't die afterall.



And we're off ...

Still making my motor sounds ...

Sure do love being a farm boy.

Insanity in Spokane

Here's our sweet Kaitlyn who helped with a long and stressful string of appointments in Spokane this week. Thanks dear!
Sweet siblings in the early morning. Cuddle time with big brother. This will be used years down the road as evidence that I (Caleb) really did like my sisters when they were little. Look how sweet I am with them.

And this is another awesome friend/family who helped so much when Mommy was near the looney bin juggling too much on the road with doctor appointments, an overnight and three 'babies' in the van. Uuuugh. Thanks so much Gene, Jana and awesome kiddos! You are the best.

Now is that a great daddy, or what?

Oh ... and they even passed along a cool new toy for me to play with! Hooray.

Can you tell I haven't yet received the 'normal use briefing' in the following video? I'm afraid Uncle Pete would be concerned that my small town/remote upbringing has already ruined me! Guess Mommy will need to expose me to more 'normal' daily events so I can learn the right way to work a cash register/scanner. Oh well, Mommy and Daddy sure thought it was funny! :)

OK, so at least I AM teachable, Uncle Pete. You should be able to rest now.


Ooops ... well, maybe there is cause for concern afterall. :)


Anyway, thanks to the Baldwins for some great new toys and clothes. Sure do appreciate you!

Random Picts

Daddy's Uncle Richard. Anna sure liked his beard. He's so good with my sisters.

Daddy's cousin, Robert, with his niece and one my personal favorite playmates, Alex.

During a stressful week, Mommy was desperate for an outlet for creative expression ... and yes, a taste of chocolate! ... as if she had time for this nonsense! :) Sanity saver.

And this is in honor of Uncle Scot ... cuz Mommy says she used to play 'dirt rivers' with him when they were kids. If you want to send my cousin up here to the ranch, Uncle Scot, we can teach little Thomas how to play the highly technical game shown below. Oh ... and then you just wait until I get him on one of my tractors! You'll have to drag him kicking and screaming back to the city! ... though Mommy might gladly accompany you home. :)

Motorcycle Fun with Daddy

OK, so it doesn't get much better than this ... Daddy time and motorcycles. Ready to take a ride on this beast.

Oh look, tractor equipment ... that's the only thing better than this motorcycle.

And since we have plenty here, why don't we try out another bike while we're at it?

Sweet Big Sister on Loan

Here we are ... awake and awaiting our 'big sister stand-in' ... see what good care I take of my little sisters?
Silly moments in the kitchen with Mommy.

Jocelyn has arrived! Within the first five minutes, I had her right where I wanted her. :) She was so sweet to play along.

I had to share her with my sisters, of course.

Pool time! ...

... with some of my favorite games incorporated! That Jocelyn knows all the tricks of the trade.


Spectator standing by.

We attempted something fun for Jocelyn too. Check out her creativity!

This was my personal favorite design:
An evening out with the entire gang.

Sunday morning. Time to dress those sweet sisters of mine. Jocelyn's pretty good in the 'style' department too.

Thursday to Sunday morning, she did a great job juggling us Kuch kids. We had such a fun time with you, Jocelyn. Thanks so much! Here's her brother, Jed, who hung out with us for Sunday lunch at their place while Daddy was at work.

Oh ... and here is one of Addison's new pastimes...
