Grandpa Turns 50!

Saturday November 22nd Grandpa Rausch turned the big 50! We threw him a little suprise party at our house on Friday. Lots of people came to help him celebrate. I really enjoyed the good cakes he got.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!!!

Working Some Cows on Grandpa's B-day

We headed to the ranch to help grandpa works 432 head of cattle on Saturday. I bundled up and helped where I could. He needs all the help he can get with all those cows and because now he is 50!

Brush, Brush, Brush

I am doing such a good job brushing my teeth every night and sometimes once or twice during the day. I think it is a lot of fun!

Relaxing

Mom, dad, and I went looking at decorated holiday homes this wkend. It was fun, I relaxed between houses.

Make shift basket

Dad made me this coors light box basket. I am pretty good shooting the ball into it.

Love my ball

Pass, catch, throw...i could do this all day.

Love tossing around the ball.

Smile

I really like this fun toy that Spencer has.

I can really see how cute I am.

Little Climber

Climbing is so much fun! Whatever I can climb on I will try.

I try any way I can to get into and on mom's baskets. This one has all my toys in it. It is much more fun to climb in and on it then it is to play with the toys.

Messy

I love to get into mom's bucket of necklaces. It is so fun to get them all out and string them around.

Hottubing with snow on the ground

Hottubing with snow on the ground. Casey and Nicky decided to go for a dip, and of course Kalen wanted to get in to. He loved it, you'd never know it was 40* out.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Yesterday,Nov. 9th daddy celebrated his birthday. He was on call over the weekend, so most of his birthday was spent working really hard.

Spaghetti

Yummy, we had spaghetti tonight for supper. Mom and I had fun playing games with the spaghetti.

Another Ball Pit

Look at this great follow through!

When mom got me my other ball pit she also order this one, but we never opened it. Well, this weekend we decided to get it out because I am so into shooting balls and we mom thought this would be great to throw balls over the goal posts.

A Day at the Ranch

We headed out to grandma's and grandpa's to help work a few cows. I helped grandpa tackle this new baby calf that was just born. He was nice and soft.

Taking more honda rides with dad and mom.

Meeting one of mommy and daddys calves. I thought touching this calf was really cool.

Grandpa gave me this big syringe and I thought I could help give shots.

I was so good watching and trying to help.

Taking a ride on the Honda

i still love going on honda rides every chance I get.

Relaxing getting fed

I enjoyed laying with mom and getting fed a little mac-n-cheese. Romeo and Quincy were also hoping they could get a taste.

Little Climber

Lately, I have been thinking I am a big shot and like to climb things. This wasn't safe, but mom managed to catch a picture of me up on my car.

Happy Halloween 2008

Halloween was great fun. My actual first year to trick-or-treat was lots of fun. We walked around our new neighborhood and met many of our neighbors. The weather was absolutely beautiful. I loved being able to walk around in my puppies suit. Yes, I was a pug puppy.

My friend Hudson was a puppy too and he came with me. We also went to my friend Spencer's to trick-or-treat, he was a pumpkin...obviously.

Cheese Face

I decided to be fun to spread mac n cheese all over my face and then clap about it. What a mess!

Little Monkey

Wow, mom caught me climbing on the back of my car. Thank goodness I didn't fall and crack my head.

Swimming Class

I recently completed my "water babies" class at the YMCA. I loved going to swimming class. Every class I went with mom, but this last class dad went with me. I learned to blow bubbles, jump in the water, and kick my feet in the water.

I also learned how to get in the lockers at the gym. Boy, was that a lot of fun going in and out.

Expecting Baby #2

We are excited to say, we found out today that we are 11wks pregnant. It looks as though we will be having a baby around the 22nd of May. We found out a couple wks ago we were pregnant, but had our official appointment today and it looks like we've almost made it through another 1st trimester with little or no issues. I have been feeling great, a little tired at times which is expected with a one year old I quess. Thank goodness Kalen has been sleeping until 9:30am and still takes 2 naps, this saves me. About thee same nausea as with Kalen...minimal to report which is great.
We are super excited for another baby around the house. I am very much looking forward to pregnancy again. Things are good!

Colorado Weilands come to Aberdeen For a Visit!!!

It was an amazing reunion between Ms. Ava and Mr. Kalen. These one year olds have grown up so much since they saw each other last.


Kalen seems to be an open mouth kisser as Ava is a pursed lip kisser.


"Wow, that was great!"





It was just a wonderful reunion for us. We loved seeing the Weilands again. We are so happy they could come visit us for the weekend. We relaxed and enjoyed each others company together.

You can borrow my working goggles anytime Ava.




Fun in the Ball Pit!

"Can we just get along in this ball pit?"
