Monkey's nap time

I walked in on possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen the other day. Caleb was putting his 2 monkey's down for a nap. He read them a story, sang them " Jesus Loves Me", "Mary had a Little Lamb (the widdle wam song)" and "Jesus Loves the Little Children"...our bedtime routine, then he leaned over and kissed them each good night. Of course by the time I got the camera out he was finished. But I did catch part of the encore performance the next day. I missed his version of Jonah and the Big Fish, which was actually quite good. But I did turn the camera on in time for his rendition of David and Goliath (just in case you don't speak 2 year old and are wondering what is going on).....I tried to flip the video but it didn't take...so sorry, you'll have to crank your neck....

And here's Caleb doing his version of "Jesus Loves Me" and then trying to kiss someone out there goodnight.....man I love this kid more and more everyday!!

Ethan loves his brother....

Ethan's newest skill is lunging forward from sitting position to grab a toy. So I was trying to catch that on video. But then Caleb walks into the room....check out how excited Ethan gets when he sees him... please ignore my fat legs at the end :)

Montana State Fair

The fair has come to town!! Doesn't quite compare to the Del Mar Fair - but we had fun. Our friends Tammi and Jolie joined us for some good old 4-H action, fair food and kiddie rides. Here's Jon and Caleb looking at the Llamas:

Jon touched the cows, but Caleb wanted nothing to do with them:

The helicopter ride that Caleb was desperate to get on and very frustrated by having to wait in line.....what do you mean I can't have what I want exactly when I want it?!?!?

Caleb freaking out on the helicopter ride, because he didn't realize the shifter he was playing with in the middle actually moved the ride up and down :)

Good old cotton candy.....thank God for baby wipes to clean up this boy:

You want to eat what? Testes? That's right folks. Here's Jon chowing down on some good old Rocky Mountain Oysters:

Dedicated

Our church does baby dedications one weekend a month. And there happened to be an opening at the service we normally attend, so we had Ethan dedicated. Our head pastor Vern did a really neat, meaningful prayer over us all, and we really felt like a part of the church family. Here are a few pics of the dedication:
