Play doh and pizza

It's been a while since my last post....sorry! We have been keeping ourselves very busy since the rush and excitement of the holidays. One of Callie's favorite things is to help cook and we have been getting very creative on ways to do that. She spent a night with grandma and grandpa awhile back and ever since that night away we have had to give up our step stool to her.
We recently travelled to jesslyns house. She was in absolute heaven - dogs, llamas, alpacas, chickens, and play doh. How much better can it get than that?! I didn't get any pictures of her petting the llamas or alpacas but it is a bit frightening to me how fearless she is around animals. She did not hesitate one bit to go pet the alpacas - I was more timid than her!
Here's some shots of her making the play doh:

Mixing....mixing....mixing - one of her favorite things to do

When cooking with Callie, you have to give everything up to her. She will not let you do anything without her helping or doing it.

I can't tell - are you having fun?

We then introduced Preston to homemade pizza. Callie had an absolute blast. Surprisingly she didn't try to eat any of the toppings until we got to the black olives, then we couldn't stop her.

Adding the pepperoni - there was a large pile of pepperoni in one spot on her pizza

Hmm....these are good mom, how come I've never had them before?

Last but not least, the cheese. Her favorite!

We are now a family of 4 pretty impressive bike riders.

Sun River 2018

For mid winter break, we headed up to Sun River for the week. As always, it did not disappoint! The kids had a blast spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa, all their cousins, skiing, and playing in the snow. This year we started with no snow on the ground and ended with a blizzard that made driving home very tricky. Liam stayed home with Grandma while Callie and I skied. Although it is always hard to be left behind, he loves his Grandma so much and they had an absolute blast together. I'm also realizing that she took all the pictures so I have very few with her...major bummer! We celebrated these 2 boys on this trip. When there is this many kids, you not only take over the whole run but there it is also very difficult to figure out which way to go.... Grandpa and his gang Pretty soon we won't all fit on one couch. Unfortunately our sister/dad ski day did not go as planned. Sarah took a spill the day before and was not able to ski with us for ...

Introducing.....Callie Lynn Graham

Our baby girl has finally come to join our family! Callie was born on August 10th at 6:34 pm., weighing in at 7 pounds 1 ounce and measuring 19.5 inches long. She is a absolute delight and Preston and I can't seem to get enough of her. Although the laboring went quickly, the delivery proved a bit trickier for me and we ended up needing to deliver by C-section. Callie was extremely healthy and was ready to leave the hospital even before I was! Due to a few complications, Preston, Callie, and I ended up staying at the hospital for 5 days. Luckily Preston has so much time off of work - don't know what we would have done if he needed to go back after a week. We can't seem to say enough positive things about the nursing staff at St. Joseph's hospital. They were amazing! Although it was not fun staying at the hospital that long (especially since we only packed our bag for one night) we got a lot of extra help with nursing and overall care of Callie. Both Preston and Call...
