Here's to a great 2008

Cale's ready to ride into a new year on his new Walker/Rider Lion.

We spent Christmas visiting 3 states. This is the first state: Nebraska. Cale was very good during the entire trip. He got a lot of great presents from both sets of Grandparents. Cale also got to go swimming with Grandma Joni.
Here's Cale with Grandma Linda.
We even found time to meet with Kasey and Julie Marler. We stopped at the outlet mall in Omaha. Cale got to me Trey and Eva. Mom found some bargains.

I Want You to Have a Merry Christmas

Cale's obligatory Christmas sweater. He loves presents and the tree.
This is the flower arrangement my Aunt Julie made for my mom's birthday party. She's truly gifted at creating beautiful arrangements. The party was a huge success. And yes, that is a 40 carat diamond sitting on the table.
Another beautiful shot of the ice storm from photographer Kent Sorge.

Disney on Ice: Finding Nemo

Isn't Cale the cutest thing ever? This is Cale on Grandpa's lap during Disney on Ice. We went to Finding Nemo. Good thing I couldn't "Find my wallet" because Disney sure wants families to shell out the cash for stupid little Nemo merchandise that costs a fortune.
Here's Cale at Disney on Ice on Grandpa's lap. There's only so much skating and singing a little boy can take.
And yes... those are fish eyes where boobs should be. Weird and distracting. What an odd show.

More from December

Mom surprised at the party. She didn't fall for the "bats at the country club" line, but we got her to go inside anyway.
Danny and Tammy holding Cale.
Grandpa introduced Cale to a new way to soothe his teeth. Just put those gums on the cold glass.
Here's Daddy and Cale enjoying time together. It's easier to have Cale on your shoulders because you know he's not getting into the cat food or trying to turn off the computer.

The month of December

This month has been very busy. Here's glimpse into the ice storm from December 10th. Cherry Icee anyone?

Cale's getting ready to help pull a surprise party on Grandma Joni.


On December 15th, we threw my Mom Joni a surprise birthday party at the Pine Lake Country Club. I couldn't have done it without Kent, Julie, Danny and Tammy's help.

Judy, Tim, Larry and Kate with mom and Cale. Larry and Cale really bonded even though Cale didn't have a nap all day and stayed up until midnight.

More Halloween

Cale loved handing out candy to all of the neighbor kids. We let him harmlessly gnaw on a Snickers.

Then it was time to take a bath. Baby Cale loves playing with the duckies in the bathtub!

Cale watched Mommy and Daddy carve pumpkins. It was Kent's first time carving pumpkins so Cale and Dad shared a big event together. We tackled 5 of them. A cat on the left, a baby Cale jack o'lantern, a bat in the middle, a ghost over a gravestone 4th from left, and on the right a spider. Take that Picasso!

Happy Halloween!

Mommy and Cale are partying at Jack and Heather's. I was a flapper. Kent was a gangster. Cale is a little Baby Bear.
The Baby Bear always wants what is on Mommy's plate.

Grandpa Tom went as Davy Jones from Pirates of the Carribean.

Pretty cool mask. Cale loved chewing on the tentacles.

Cale and Maggie relaxing before their big appearance on Paula Sands Live. For those of you who don't know what PSL is: it's the 4:30pm talk show at KWQC. Every year since I've been at the station, we have a halloween party and show. People from the station bring their kids and pets in costume. It's the most popular show of the year. Cale picked up a pen in Mommy's office and would not part with it.

Daddy took Cale on the show. That's Paula Sands interviewing Kent and Cale. It was very cute.
