10 Months and Going Strong!

So Callin is 10 months now and it is crazy how fast he is growing up and learning new things! He is crawling around and when he wants to he will walk a few steps but i think its too slow for him so he just drops down and crawls. He is such a sweet boy and brings so much joy into our lives!
So Cal, Brock, Trevin, Allison, and I all went to the Hogle Zoo and had a great time. Thanks guys for coming with us!! I was actually surprised how interested Cal was... I think his favorite was the little orange monkeys!
Almost!
I'm taller! I cant say that very often!
Almost... just a few more pounds baby!
Callin making funny faces!
Again!
Growling like a Tiger... I love him!
Having fun!
Cool Rhino!
Just messing around!

Callins 10 Month Pic with his Bear!
And another Picture with his bear! So i was looking at other pictures and he doesn't look that much bigger because i think he is getting taller... and skinnier now that he is walking and crawling like a crazy boy! He is getting cuter every day i see him and every second his dad and i seem to love him more and more...
Well hope you enjoyed all the Pics!

** ok i have got a lot of questions about the earwax thing that me and my family did... ok so you put a hollow candle in your ear (have to get at a store or online... and they need to be specified for earwax removal) and you have someone burn the candle and while it burns it causes a suction that sucks the earwax our of your ear... it does work, it doesn't hurt at all, its a fun bonding experience and a fun competition... and it is actually your earwax and not the wax from the candle... as you can see in our last post, all of our earwax is different colors and different sizes even tho we used the same candles and burn it for the same amount of time:) Have fun!

Its a ear wax extracting paaaaarty!
Look how happy i was to get all that wax out... Shawntel looks pretty happy too!
Shawntel cleaning out her ear after the candle...
And the winner was... Kory!!! he definitely had the thickest and darkest ear wax... The girls were lighter and mine was the thinnest (thats why it looks so long) Anyway this was a fun and kind of wierd thing to do but now we all have clean ears... Hope no one threw up during the reading of this post!!

Ski Trip... Fun, Sun, and Family!

So Cal really liked Driving the boat with Uncle Steve...
Here is Cory, McKenzie and Brock and I... We had so much fun tubing!
We didnt last too long with the both of us on there but we sure did have a lot of fun!... Thanks Steve for bringing the boat we had a blast!
Cal Driving the Boat!
Having a grand old time with Steve!
He is so talented!
Cal and I getting ready to go tubing! He liked it when we were going but he hated the life vest so when we were just sitting he wasnt too happy!
No wonder he didnt take good naps at the beach... way too much going on!
Naked baby! He loved the water...

He loves watermelon!
Here was our little Beach Hotel... lots of chairs and shade!
Swimming with Grandma Vonasek!
Sleeping.... well i thought he was but his eyes were open...
The beach crib... can you spot the baby?
Yea that is right... on Steve, not in the crib:)
Cal in his Life Vest... he wasnt so fond of that thing:/
Family Camping!
And last but not least.... Cal after eating a s'more... He loved it, and i thought it was really cute!
Hope you all enjoyed all the pics... sorry that was so many...

Super Babies, Playground, and the winner is...

So my sisters and I took our kids to my old Elementary School... Good old Charles Brown:) The kindergarten playground is pretty cool so I think our little ones had quite a bit of fun!! (my brother Aaron showed up a little later and brought AJ along with him... we love playing with AJ)
Here is my littlest sister McKaela holding Cal.... and ME:)
Cal and I at the playground!
William... he is a little daredevil....
Cal on the Dino...
Winston on the Dino....
and finally Shaelyn on the Dino.
Cal loves to Drive! Especially with McKaela!! (and uncle Steve... wait for future post)
Our Cousins! Shaelyn, Winston, Cal, and William... Aj wasn't with us:( But he has the same outfit and next time we see him (Thanksgiving!!) we will have to get another picture!!
I just think he is the cutest Superman ever!!
Looking up to his big cousin!
Flying!!
Standing all by myself!!
So This was Cals little fort when we went to Cali a couple weeks ago... He had the sun in his eyes the whole time so we put up a fort of blankets... He was such a good boy on the way out there! Only was fussy for about 20 min out of a 10 hour trip!!
Ok so here is my final weigh in... i lost a total of 41.6 lbs and that ended up being a little over 25 percent. Well I actually won! which was pretty exciting but the best thing was that we were all so close and we have all lost so much weight! My brother Aaron was just a little bit under 25 percent and he lost over 60 lbs and my Sister Shawntel lost over 40 lbs too and was around 22 percent! It was a lot of fun and i really think that everyone should be proud of themselves! keep it up and lets stay healthy so we don't have to do this again!! Love you all and I cant wait to come to Cali again!!
