The Coombs Family

Calvin & Shelby loved their costumes. They both had no problem putting them on and they were nice and warm. We went to a trunk or treat at church with my sister's family the night before Halloween.   Shelby didn't want to come inside for pictures. It was raining and she wanted to go stomp around in the rain. You can sure tell how she felt about it by the picture below:   My beautiful sister and Calvin Then on Halloween we stayed home and dressed up the kids to open the door for the neighborhood trick-or-treat kids. Shelby had so much fun handing out candy and she gave each kid as much as her little hands could hold. Thankfully we didn't have very many kids come so we didn't run out of candy.

The kids both had their check-up appointments this week.  Both of my kiddos are happy, healthy, growing well, and developing on time.  What else could a mother ask for?! Calvin is 4 months old Weight 17.4 pounds 85% Height 25.5" and 50% Head 18" and off the charts Shelby is 2 years old Weight 30 pounds 83% Height 34.5" and 50% Head 20" and off the charts Calvin smiles all the time and laughs now. He's starting to roll over. He's happy on his side, but when he falls all the way onto his face, he doesn't like it. He is a good sleeper and doesn't wake up very much to eat anymore. He puts himself to sleep at night and gets cranky if he's not in his crib by about 8 am. Recently, he has been waking up to eat around 3 am, and he just lays in bed and talks and coo's. It's very cute, even though it's 3 in the morning. I usually start talking to him and get him really excited. Then we are both wide awake and try to go back to bed. He has ...

Shelby Lu is now officially two-years-old. We had a fun party at our house with lots of friends and family. It started out being a very small and last minute idea, and it actually turned out great. Sometimes it works out better if you just throw it all together quickly. We borrowed a bounce house from my friend Linnea, and put it downstairs. It was a huge hit, and I am convinced every parent needs to own one. It's going to be hard to give it back to Linnea, because Shelby has jumped in it every day since the party. We had little flower cupcakes that were 90% frosting. I think the kids appreciated the extra sugar rush! When it was time to sing and blow out candles, I think little Wyatt was more excited then Shelby was. You can see him in the background blowing for her. So cute! Shelby calls him "It", she can't say the "Y" apparently. Which is funny, because she can say the letter Y very easily. Camden was born to party! That little guy wore his h...

One of our favorite places to go as a family is Sunriver Oregon. I had a conference at work the last week of September that was in the resort, so we lucked out. We got to stay at my awesome Aunt Debbie Gay and Uncle Carl's house.  The whole family went running together. We just got a double jogging stroller for the kids. Shelby decided that she needed to get out and run with Caleb and I. It was really cute. She thinks she's a big runner now. Luckily, she didn't want to run until the very end when we wanted a break anyway. We also got to go on family bike rides. Caleb took the kids while I was in class, but we did get to go on one bike ride with the whole family. Here are the kids in the bike trailer, after Shelby fell asleep on Calvin. I don't think he liked it very much. The hot tub was a favorite of Shelby and Caleb's. I went in a few times, but little Calvin cannot go, so I usually just hung out with him and watched.  Here is our first attempt at a family pic...
