Work Week with Grandpa

Hey, who's driving this machine?

And this one?

Grandpa's giving me lessons.



Content to be the passenger here.

But back at the wheel now. Man, I love this truck.

Mother's Day 2010

Sweet treat from my sweet husband and son ... YUMMY!

Card reads: "Mom, you're the best! Caleb" So advanced.

Picnic at the park in Wilson Creek after church.

One mean chili cheeseburger to top it off.

Mommy says thanks for a beautiful Mother's Day.

Birthday So Nice I Did it Twice

Wrapping up the day's work with Daddy.

OK, so my birthday turned into a two-day celebration ... no problem for me! Mommy just needs to wake up the guest of honor ... yeah, that's ME!

Dancing ... anyone?

Cool buzzer toy from the Johnson's. Thanks Dina!

Grandpa is supervising while Daddy works my big equipment ...

Here I am in my Carhartts, ready to go work with the guys.

But first a little play is in order!

Can you see Daddy and Grandpa working on the fence out there? (You can click on the photo to enlarge.)

Now it's my turn to supervise Daddy. ;)

Did I mention that I could LIVE outside? Love this place.

And I sure like helping Daddy and Grandpa.

Views of the ranch ...

One day closer to the completed facelift ... and boy was I tired after all that work!

Oh, don't forget the action shot with my new toy. We're going to have hours of fun with this! Thanks Uncle Scot and Aunt Sarah.

Caleb Turns ONE

Happy First Birthday to me!

Mommy had to remind me I turned ONE today (since at times I pretended I had hit the terrible TWOs already). :) UUuuuggghhhh ...

Oh what fun presents to play with: a baseball sweatsuit and a kite from Grandma and Grandpa, some farm boy coverall Carhartts from Uncle Randy and Aunt Patti (awesome!), my very own swimming pool from Gran ...

... And look what Uncle Scot and Aunt Sarah gave me. YES! ... 'Oh dear,' says Mommy. :)

And then this too! ... the granddaddy of outside farm toys! Oh boy, oh boy!

I had so much fun today on my birthday! ... I just feel like bustin' a move! Careful, I'm in such a good mood that I might even pull out my 'rollin' the dice' move! You'll want to crank the music on this one. :)

Thanks to all my family for such a great first birthday! And thanks, Grandma, for joining us via Skype. I love you all!

An Unexpected Visit!

Look who came to visit me at the ranch last night! Oh how I love to play with the Smith kids!

Here I am showing my friend the ropes on the heavy equipment.

I'm such a gentleman.

And see how I cheer her on as she practices walking. She's such a nice girl.

Daddy gave Morgan and TJ a ride in the tractor. They LOVED it!

Boy stuff!

Storytime with Shel Silverstein and Morgan's mommy. Fun!

... and don't forget your chocolate covered gummy bears!

Dancing Boy

In a dancing mood this morning!

And check out the funky head bob move at the end ... I'm thinking about a patent for this.

Here Mommy caught the "rollin' the dice"/headbang combo. Daddy thinks I have his rhythm. Oh dear. :) Thanks for the dancin' tunes, Grandpa!
