Boston had a birthday!

Boston is now a whole 2 years old!! He has had the "terrible twos" for awhile now so it is about time he can truly be his title. We had quite the fun day! I wondered a few times if he ever questioned why he was having such a crazy good day or if he just rolled right along with it.  We started the day off with breakfast as a picnic in the middle of our living room watching his favorite show curious George. Then Kory joined us for a trip to the park. Boston is in love with swings and slides!

For lunch we went to Carl's jr. and had root beer and fries for lunch and played all over the indoor play place.

For dinner Grandma and Grandpa Call, Aunt Krystal and Uncle Shane, and cousin Lexi joined us. We had pizza (Boston ate none of this since he is the pickiest eater ever!) and then pulled out the cake and ice cream. Boston has recently taken a huge interest in cars, tractors, and trucks so I made a not very well executed road cake that had hot wheels all over it. He loved it!
We opened presents next! Kory made Boston an adorable tool bench and then we gave him a Home Depot toy tool set. He was in Heaven!

We couldn't get him to even look at other presents! Grandma and grandpa marchant gave him a cool semi to store all his hot wheels along with more hot wheels and Grandma and grandpa Call gave him a strider. We are still working on that but he loves trying and has to go out every day to do it.

Furious that he had to open more presents!

Boston is the funniest kid. He has such a funny personality! He is always trying to play tricks on us and loves to be tackled and tickled. He is a mischief maker, he loves to pump shampoos, conditioners, and lotions and give all his toys "baths." He is extremely outgoing and I think everyone in our ward knows who he is even if they don't know us. He loves to wear hats, sunglasses, put his hands in his pockets and be totally cool. He knows about 25 words and loves to jabber and laugh hysterically at his own jokes. We love him so much and are soooo happy he is in our family!

We adopted a Baby!!!

Our family has been sooo blessed! We were able to adopt a baby boy 3 weeks ago. Bridger was born on August 10 at 9:12 pm. He was 7 lbs 6 oz and 20 inches long. I was lucky enough to get to be in the room for labor and delivery and it was such a special experience! We love this little boy so much and love our birth mom so much for allowing us this opportunity! Boston has a mixed response to the new little guy, sometimes he adores him, most the time he ignores him, and sometimes he can't stand him. Someday they will be the best of friends I'm sure! Oh, and to all those people that told me going from one to two wasn't hard they are Liars! This is tricky business. We wouldn't trade it for the world though, this little boy has a firm hold on our hearts!

Going private!!

We have had some exciting things happen in our family but feel like we need to go private to be able to share all about it!! You know the drill, leave me your email if you want to read more!!!!

Grandma warning to the Call family!!

Soo...last night we were at Kory's parents and Boston was asleep when it was time to go home. Knowing we were coming back over the next day Kory's mom suggested we just let Boston sleep there so we didn't have to wake him up. For some reason this made Kory nervous (in a teasing manner) even though Boston has stayed there many times before. He started quizzing his mom on what she would do for safety in different situations.

Kory: "What if there is a fire? Walk me through what you would do."

Kory's mom: "I would hurry out, grab Boston, then go in the office and shut the door."

She was dead serious.

Kory immediately went to get Boston. We were able to stop him and explained to grandma what to really do in case of a fire! Climb out a window for example. We assured her that was a good plan for a tornado though. Warning to all the Calls! Walk through all safety procedures with Grandma before leaving your children.

Hee hee hee.

Boston the Mischief maker

Boston is now almost 14 months and he is such an active little guy. No, he isn't technically walking yet. Although the other day, he did get up and walk across the living room he still prefers his hands and knees and sees no point in progressing. This has not slowed him down in his climbing endeavors. Back in September I quite literally lost the poor boy! In our 1200 sq foot home! I was looking everywhere, in every closet, under everything, calling his name. Imagine my surprise when I heard a squeak coming from here!!!!

In the Dryer! He can get in, not out!!

He now loves to climb in and help me "sort" my laundry by emptying everything onto the floor.

His all time favorite place to sit in the house. After emptying it of course. We are starting to worry about the stability of the drawer...

And lets not forget the cupboard he loves to empty and eat out of:

He loves to get his crackers out of the cupboard and eat, or share with Ferb. This is what I turned around from making dinner to the other day. I was just enjoying making dinner with no interruptions!

So far Boston knows mom, dada, dog (even though he knew that in August and hasn't used it since!), and uh oh- which is more like uh uh, and is used for every situation. 

* A few more picture I thought I would add that have been taken since.

One year pictures!

My beautiful and talented sister in law Karli came for the weekend and agreed to take some pictures of Boston! They turned out soooo great! Thank you Karli!

All Hallows Eve!! (2013)

*Originally written November of 2013!!

The most wonderfullest holiday of Halloween has come and gone again. We were asked this year to host a room at our ward party, basically just run a game in there, and this required us to be dressed up! I was soooo excited. I have never been able to get Kory to dress up before, and didn't know if I ever would in the future! I started searching online and found on a craft site I like to follow a costume she made for her little boy-a lumberjack! There wasn't much to it so I knew I would be able to convince Kory to do that costume. I followed her directions for a beard, borrowed some suspenders from Kory's dad, and searched DI for an old stick to make into an axe! It was so much fun to make and turned out really cool. All the kids at the ward party were sooooo jealous of Kory's axe.

For Boston Kory had the idea to do him as the old man from up. We made him the cutest walker out of pvc pipes and found old tennis balls to go on the ends, I was hoping he would walk with it but wasn't quite there yet. I also didn't get any pictures of him!! All in all they turned out so cute!
For myself I made myself a fairy skirt out of tulle, put on some tights, pink shirt, wings, crown and wand from all a dollar and was a fairy! It was so fun to make my costume. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of me either! We had a blast doing our game room and seeing all of the kids in their costumes. I am excited for next year when maybe Boston will get it a little bit better?!
