4 Years Old!

I can't believe that Liam is 4! It blows my mind how quickly everything is happening and it is hard for me to remember sometimes that he is a big boy and no longer a baby. He still gives the best hugs and the best snuggles but is fiercely independent. He doesn't like to try things until he knows that he can master them but when he is a master at them, he could not be more proud. He continues to loves trucks but has opened up his mind a bit to superheros and rescue bots. Outside continues to be his favorite place in the world and is always up for a hike, a bike ride, or just all around exploring. If he can be a helper in any way then his ready to help - he loves to shadow Preston anywhere and everywhere.


This year's questions: 
  • How old are you? 4
  • What is your favorite thing to do? play with Callie
  • What is your favorite color? Seahawks color
  • What is your favorite food? stroganoff

  • What is your favorite thing to do with your family? 
    • Dad - grow crystals without Callie
    • Callie - play marbles
    • Mom - play marbles

This year he chose a Dairy Queen ice cream cake. Safe to say that he loved it!


The morning of his birthday we left for the long drive to Sun River. We had to stop for some birthday donuts for the road.


A little bit of playground fun....

This cat has grown to love Liam and Callie. It might have something to do with the tremendous number of treats they give her but she tries to sleep with them every night and always comes to snuggle them when we are reading books on the couch. 

He idolizes his sister. Luckily she is (mostly) patient about it...

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...

Complete and Total Exhaustion

So, Callie has come down with a case of croup (good ol'daycare) and we had a VERY rough night on Sunday. She was up every 20 mins - hour coughing. Luckily Preston was home and we took turns with her - eventually I ended up sleeping with her in the chair (although she still woke up coughing every hour) because I didn't have to work on Monday. Needless to say, we were not a very exciting family Monday night. We were all in bed by 8 and Callie continued to get up a bit but not nearly as much as the night before. The last time I went in to see her was about 11 - the next thing I knew it was time for me to get up for work. When Preston got up, I made the comment "she slept better than on Sunday" and he just looked at me and laughed. Apparently, she got up a bunch in the middle in the night and I was just too exhausted to realize it. He said I was so out of it that one time I told him it was the rain, not Callie crying.....I'm going to choose my version of the story and...
