Its a Famini thing

When Caleb was just a month old, we let him know he was destined to be a dance lover like his bro.
He was a bit skeptical at first.


But then the beat caught on and his fingers snapped...


a full-on dance party was inevitable.


As was the crazy dancing, since Lucas was his teacher.  Booyah!

Arkansas is great for making friends.  
Well, maybe I don't know all of these kids.


But these two are a couple of my faves - Anna and Larkin.  I got to spend a whole month playing with them when school was out!

Anna has a pool which is pretty awesome.  I would spend a lot of time with her there if I knew how to drive all the way out near the lake by myself - you have to cross the train tracks twice!


My buddy Gavin's mom had a new baby this summer too!  That meant I got to have my first friend sleep over, while his parents were at the hospital.  And my Grandma and Grandpa were here then too!  It was awesome.


 He is a little more reserved when you ask to show off your muscles.  Even after Yum Yos, wuuuuut!


Stella is my other bff.  


She makes me smile, just a little.

One Clarification

Just wanted to point out that Gramps also played well with Caleb.

GrandNanPop

With Caleb here, the grandparents flocked like bees to a picnic.  
Nana brought us a piece of Berkeley.


Pop-pop tried to teach Caleb hop to smile 
(he was too little way back then) 


And Grandpa showed me how to ham it up for the camera.  Thanks for coming!

Fun with Water

This summer was HOT in the NWA.  Like 95 plus almost every day from June-August.


That meant that Caleb hardly got to go outside!
He did still find his way into some water though.  Sort of fun.


Lots of fun were my swimming lessons!

My dad did throw my face into the wall that one time.


But I got back in 10 minutes later!  I love going underwater.  I don't love to kick very much yet.


Part of the fun was the old school sandblaster showers and getting bundles up like a burrito.


 Water is cool!























Goggles Goggles!

Early Summer

This was a great summer.  AStarted with a little downtown square playing with trucks in sand.


 I got to see dogs do the long jump!


It was a little hot though...


Have you guys ever seen fireworks?  We only bought small ones since I dont like big BOOMs


The smoke bombs were sweet though 


Lets go BIG next year!

FLASKBACK - Kansas City

Did you know that Kansas City is AWESOME?
We drove up there and went to the cool old Central train station


 There is a science museum there - WAIT... what is that?


Electricity!


There is a huge model train room to look at. 



 There are almost as fast as me!


Who said hotel pullout beds are lumpy, this one was cozy


They have swimming pools in KC too, can you believe it?


And I got to go to a baseball game!  It wasn't the Giants, but still pretty cool.


The Royals are now our favorite American league team.


Uf, get me out of here.  I had too much fun!


And I may not be allowed in Missouri again

FLASHBACK - Cali friendsies

Big Pimpin Lucas - I was told that if I wore this hat I would get to see some of my California friendsies


 It worked!
Teo may be a little bit of a hippy (sooo California), but that dude is still cool.


And Asher is still fun as well.  
Uh oh, his shoe is falling off!


HEY ASHER, YOUR SHOE CAME OFF!

FLASHBACK - Family time in Cali


While going to California for Great Grandma Iris's funeral is no ones idea of a good time (she was literally the best), it was nice to see my cousins...

Sparrow!  I got you!


Drat, the tables have turned


 Old cousins looking good...


I don't think cousin Holly understands what a funny picture is - she just looks happy


Can you believe Caleb fit in there?!?


Cousins at a table...


 Cousins at a a table!


Here is my family - Grandpa, Grandma, Me and giant Big Bird.


Rumble, rumble rumble...


BOOM!


Ack, the sisters attack


 I like to play with my cars on the couch, even in California


Airplane!
