I loaned my digital camera out to a guy that is doing some field work for me, but I have a few pictures from the last couple of weeks.

Nolan is still very into building and he's very creative with blocks. He is very particular about his building and gets frustrated at times, but it's interesting to watch.

Caleb says some really cute things now. One of my favorites is "right" instead of "yes". He's getting to know his colors and numbers pretty well and even said prayer at meal time once.

We got to go to drive out to Nolan's buddy's birthday party. Cole turned four and we got to enjoy a day in Willow Creek.

The party was on a beautiful piece of land near the river with lots of fun stuff including a pool with slide and a large sandbox.

Nolan got the first chunk off the pinata. He's got quite a lot of practice hitting things with sticks unfortunately.

Everyone enjoyed the big payout. Taking the sucker from Caleb was the hardest thing I've ever done. I know a whole new meaning to the phrase "taking candy from a baby"

...... and more sugar.....

The roof got put on the house earlier this month. I told Nolan to look at the crane in the yard and he informed me it was just a truck with an arm on the back of it.

The house looks quite a bit different now, but here is was when they stacked the material on the roof
and after started applying it. I'll get my camera back tomorrow and add more recent ones and hopefully some cute pics of the boys.

We got to ride the Skunk Train and see our great friends in Fort Bragg last weekend. It was a really nice vacation and wonderful to see old friends.



Nolan was very excited to ride the train and even wore his Skunk hat!



Caleb was very disappointed that he couldn't walk onto the track and climb on the train before we boarded.

We got the boys to hold still for a minute for a picture.





We had lunch at Northspur on the Noyo River.

The boys had a great time throwing rocks in the river.





Caleb slept well during the trip thanks to "banky" the magical velvety blanket.



We had to take Thomas the train with us, and Caleb showed his gangsta style with daddy's hat.



We even got to bath in a bathroom that didn't smell like funky trailer!



Ninja Nolan demonstrates his scary face (generally used to irritate Caleb).



Caleb is still infatuated with hats and glasses, but has developed a new shoe fetish as well (photos soon!)
