Veggie Tales *LIVE*

As I've mentioned before, somebody in our house is a HUGE Veggie Tales Fan (okay-I admit that I like it too.  Out of all of the kid's shoes, VT is pretty funny and entertaining).  

Caleb's palette of television choices is slowly increasing, but Veggie Tales still remains at the top of the list!

We had the wonderful opportunity to go see Veggie Tales LIVE this week.  Caleb was SO excited all week...and this is him on the way.

Just the three of us--Noah got to spend the evening with Bumba.

Caleb's first glimpse of Bob and Larry on the stage.

Silly boy

They were HUGE!  It was a very entertaining show--for adults and kids!

 Towards the end of the show, we went up to the front of the auditorium and got to see them up close and personal.  All the kids were dancing in the aisles!

Daddy and Caleb

I love Caleb's look of amazement.  He was really tentative at first (as he typically is with all things), but was clapping, hollering, and screaming after the intermission. 



"Look at all this family!"

Lately whenever the four of us are all together--whether it be sitting on the swing or watching Veggie Tales in our bed on Saturday mornings, Caleb will look around and say, "Look at all this family!" 

My friend Julie's husband Ian took these pictures for us.  He did a great job!  Thanks Ian!

Kansas Boys

The Sunflowers are in full-bloom here, so I thought we'd take a few pictures with them.  You know I am sucker for boys in overalls...  :)

Noah wasn't so sure about sitting in an itchy field at first...but he quickly adjusted.

Noah ~ 10 months

We're into the double-digits of months, which means his first birthday is just around the corner.  Could somebody please freeze time???  He's growing up way too fast!

Not a lot has changed this last month.  He's still the sweetest, easiest, cutest baby!  It has been so fun watching he and Caleb play together.  Caleb is very protective of his little brother and always wants him to be included...if someone forgets to greet or say goodbye to Noah, Caleb most certainly lets that person know.  :)

Planes, Trains & Automobiles

In the last month, we've gotten a great up-close look at some really cool "modes" of transportation!

A Planes, Trains, and Automobiles event was put on at our local library at the beginning of August.  A few weeks later, our church had a "Hero Night" where fireman (and their trucks), policeman (and their horses), and armed forces came out to celebrate with us.  The boys had a great time at both events...but I think Caleb was slightly more interested than Noah. :)

Caleb was slightly apprehensive about the helicopter at first

A vintage war car of some kind (I'm obviously not very knowledgeable about this stuff)...

Yep...that's Noah in that stroller.  Unfortunately the sunshade is hiding his face.

They even had a cardboard train that the kids could paint!

And a barrel train...

Noah is patiently waiting (and enjoying his paci).

Caleb finally got the courage to sit in the helicopter himself.  This is one of my favorite pictures of him!

At our church's Hero night...

I'm not sure which was more interesting to Caleb...the police horse or the sucker?
