Illinois Wedding

 2nd trip to Illinois in 3 weeks..he knew what he was getting into. Thank goodness for "twinkle twinkle little star." Animation is better than mommy's singing!

 Shoved the binkie in his mouth..happy here until he realized he couldn't get it out!

 Binkie dilemma-Super mom saves the day though

Great Uncle Todd loves babies! He is getting his "baby fix" as he calls it!

June 2012

 Believe it or not earlier this month it was COLD. On a bike ride to the park for a picnic!

 and 2 weeks later its hot enough to play outside in the water

What would my life me like without this calendar? It's this fun on 6-1..trust me it looks much more full now. Sometimes I'm too busy to even look at this thing..NOT GOOD!

Ouch!

 Cut his gum. Lots of bleeding. Sad baby and sad Mommy :((

Kaeb Retreat

We headed off to Illinois for Memorial weekend for a traditional Kaeb Retreat!

 3 of many 2nd cousins to Uriah giving him all the attention 

a baby could ever ask for!

 Papa, Abby and Uriah

 2nd cousin Isaac can't figure out why his "toy" won't stay still

 Family picture with Kaeb Great-grandparents

 I thought he looked like Derek here

 Playing with friend Carter who is 1 month older

 Haidyn playing beauty shop with Uriah who was a great sport! Finished product looks nice..plastic pickle and all!

 Only at a Kaeb retreat can you have your own baseball game including two teams, fans in the stands and concession workers because this family is so large

 Uriah's first swimming experience...I got in a swimming suit 

only because I love him so much

 Haidyn so very proud of herself

 Washing Ri's hair with a rubber glove

 Ready to swim!! Thanks Kara for the swim diaper!

 Derek up to bat

On the way back to Kansas..all tuckered out from all the attention he got.  This boy LOVES his blankies!
