Caleb in his costume - he even wore the hood!
Every time I ask Carson to stand still for a picture, he gives me this very serious face. You would think from this picture that he wasn't enjoying wearing his costume, but in fact, he LOVED it! He wanted to wear the hood and the little mittens that went over his hands the entire night.
Sunday night we pulled the boys in their wagon for a night of trick-or-treating. Caleb was content to ride in the wagon, but I did take him up to most of the houses. Carson thoroughly enjoyed going to each door, saying Trick-or-Treat, and picking out a piece of candy, although this night he was more fond of Tootsie Rolls. Here they are with their giant pixie sticks (at least that's what I think they are...I haven't let them open those yet!)
Two worn out little monkeys! 
Caleb isn't as excited about getting measured for his height. Not enough action, I guess.
There were these 2 tractors that the boys loved to sit on and pretend they were driving.
Carson could have gone down the slide all day. It was a pretty steep slide if you can't tell from the pictures. I wasn't sure if they would do it by themselves, but they did...over and over again....
Caleb had no fear going down the slide by himself either. Feet first, head first, it didn't matter.
If you noticed, the boys are in different clothes in some of these pictures. The guys (meaning my dad, Shea, and Matt) had a tee time, so we had to cut the outing a little short. We went home to change clothes (because by now it was almost 80 degrees) and my mom and I brought the boys back to ride the slide a few more times and take the hay ride (well, it was really just a tractor ride, because there wasn't alot of hay!)
Caleb makes this face all the time. Certainly not the cutest, but it has become his signature.
For the most part, he is a happy baby. He particularly likes to laugh at his big brother. Everything Carson does, Caleb thinks is hilarious.
I don't know what he is doing here. He and Carson were chasing each other in the play room one night and somehow this was captured. You would think we were playing some loud rock music in the background!
A rare photo of him being this still. I think he was trying to look at me through the lens.
As you can tell, he is quite a messy eater. Usually he wears a bib, but if the dinner contains a tomato sauce, we strip him down to his diaper and give him a bath afterwards. Much easier than trying to get stains out of his clothes!
Caleb isn't afraid of going head-first down anything
A rare photo of them on the same toy!
Carson couldn't spend a day outside without his shades.
It became obvious that we've spent a bit too much time on farm animals, because Carson kept wanting to call every animal he saw a cow, especially the elephants.
You can't tell, but those are giraffes in the background.
Riding the carousel with Kackie. He really wanted to ride the monkey (which is right in front of his leopard) but another little girl (who happens to go to our church) got to it before him. Maybe next time! Once the carousel started, he forgot all about it and waved to every person has he went past.
The playground provided all kinds of excitement, especially the slides.
Ok, so we actually went to the zoo on Friday and Caleb's birthday is on Saturday. We made it a week-end of festivities:) Now, on to the cake pictures! We were all expecting Caleb to dig into the cake immediately, but he was definitely hesitant. Here he's just checking out the icing to make sure it's worth it.
And it didn't take long for him to decide that it was!
"Victory! I just about finished off that enormous piece that mom gave me!" The pictures don't do it justice, but that was a rather large piece of cake. It was definitely big enough for 2 adults, and he easily finished off half of it.
Thankfully the marker was a dry erase marker, so it wiped off easily.
