Merry Christmas! '09

Christmas at our house! The whole tree has lights but if you look closely (if you can) it is only decorated from about 4feet and up... Little hands kept pulling things off!


This was a few days before Xmas. Noah received a big box in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa. After we took the bag of goodies out of the box Noah had lots of fun playing in the box and throwing the peanuts everywhere.... No need for presents just a box of peanuts..haha

ahhh. so the goodies are in here! We only let him open the clothes this day and waited until Christmas to open the toys.


This is Christmas Morning! Yummy Breakfast with Pepaw... bananas and pears..


This is the first sight of the gifts.. he was not sure what was going on... I tried to start opening a box and he did not want to help so he squatted down and watched me do the work. He was very excited though and oooh and awed..



WOW!! Big Boys First 4 Wheeler. It is battery powered and will run by pushing a button on the handle bars. This was tooo funny. He knows how to hold on and push the button and he takes off down the room or hall until he runs into something. He does not know how to turn the handle bars to avoid crashes... probably better for outside! Plus he already wants to do tricks.. He is wearing his hunting hat from Pepaw... ready for the deer lease!

Some books from Grandma and Grandpa!!

Elmo! and Cars!!

He received way too many gifts.. he had a hard time deciding which one to play with but he had his hands on all of them at some point. He learned the word "open pease" so yes we had to open ALL of them!

Merry Christmas Everyone! Love to All!

Halloween '09

Happy Halloween! Noah dressed up as Cookie Monster (so he thinks... he was actually a three eyed monster). He would walk around saying "cookie" in all kinds of different voices. It was really cute. I am sorry I do not have good pictures from Halloween but Noah would not stand still at all. All of my pictures turned out blurred and these are the only ones I had that you could even make out anything. Plus some pics of the house to show how we decorated. Noah did not go house to house but he stayed out with us and passed candy out to the neighbors until he passed out. He was so tired!

Yes a sucker in one hand and a cookie in the other!


Here he is trying to run away.. The only close up pic I have of him standing.


Can you see him here... haha he has four arms and three eyes .. but he would not wear the head part right now.. He loved the pumpkin bags he would walk up to them look in and say "ooooooh ahhhh"

Mark and I carved pumpkins... Yes that is mold growing inside. We carved them way too early..

The front porch where we sat and passed out Candy to all the neighborhood kids and there were tons!!


This is Finley our neighbor's little girl and Noah's friend. She was a cute fairy!

My First Corn on the Cobb

This was the only item missing on Noah's plate but it did not take long for him to notice it on my plate. The next thing we knew he was eating the whole thing... He ended up with a sick tummy that night due to too much corn... I will spare the details... haha

Random Cute Pics

Look I stole Mommy's Pickle... I was going for a bite and then ended up eating the whole thing..


Look at how cute I am



Mom's headband looks good on me too.

My First Pony Ride

We are having another BOY!!

The Calhoun Family is proud to say we are expecting another little boy!

I am currently 18weeks pregnant (starting my 5th month). His expected due date is March 7, 2010. We do not have a name picked out yet. We were waiting for this appointment before we started to pick names. If you have suggestions we are always open to them...

I know Ultrasound Pictures can be a little hard to see and determine.. With the first picture noted "its a boy." Picture says all...


This is his face and round belly.. You can really see the eye sockets here..


This is another face picture where he is actually smiling.. His mouth was opening and closing and we all starting laughing when he made this face. It was like he knew we were taking his picture.

Trip to My Great Grandma Blomgren's Farm in MN

Can I ride Carry-on?


Just arrived in Minneapolis to see my Auntie Michelle. We are having breakfast at a local restaurant.

See the horsey "Patches" that my Auntie Michelle got for me.. She was so sweet and bought lots of toys to play with while I visited her. I can't wait for her to come live down in Texas....

Morris MN - Below

This is my Great Grandma's Farm in Morris, MN. She was born and raised across the street and when she was married she moved here and has lived here her whole life. It is so beautiful here and you can see land for miles. Lots of corn rows and soy bean fields.... see me playing and touching it all!!


This is my Great Grandma Blomgren. I loved meeting her and had a great time getting to know her... I already miss her and wish she was close by...


This was my Great Grandpa's tracker...


It was so big I thought I might take a closer look.


My Grampy let me drive the boat! Then I thought I might try catching a fish...


But of all the fun toys I seemed to like this one the best... (not sure why)


This is my Blomgren Family...
My Aunt Michelle, Daddy, me, Great Grandma, and Grampy.
I love all of you!!! and Miss you so much!!


Daddy and Grandma



Then on Sunday before we headed home my extended family came for a big lunch that Grandma cooked for us. The front row left to right.. My Great Grandma Velma, my Second Cousin Lori, my Great Aunt Laraine, Grampy, Me, Daddy, my Second Cousin Chris, and my Auntie Michelle.

We loved meeting all of you and had such a great visit. Thanks Grandma for all the food and hospitality... we miss you all already!!!
