3d Comparison
Having just had Vegas’ 3D ultrasound done.. we thought it would be fun to see how much alike the kids look…even before they are born.
Here’s Kael:
And here’s Vegas:
Look at the same pouty lips..same nose… these two look at lot alike…should be interesting to see if they keep that when she’s born.
Full album of Vegas’ 3D scans is here.
Farm Torture
Sunday, we took Kael back to Anderson Farms, so that he could play with his buddy Max, and his friend Debbie, since they weren’t able to go the weekend we originally went.. this time around, Kael decided to ride on the ‘tractor train’.. which, I’ve discovered is some sort of code word for parent torture…
See… here’s how it works.. you take a small tractor (like what you’d use to mow the grass, not one of the big “plow the field” type tractors) and rig up a ‘train’ behind it using 40 gallon plastic drums..
See.. so far.. doesn’t sound horrible right?
Then, you cut a hole in the side of the drum (you have them laying on their sides as train cars)…only.. you make sure that this hole is sized for people 3 feet tall and less..
Then.. you get kids to ride your contraption.. and get them to force their parents to squeeze in through this hole… and proceed to get stuck in very awkward angles.. and then hauled around the farm hitting every possible bump… all leading to an assortment of bumps, bruises, scrapes, aches, pains…
and then you get the kids to do it again, and again, and again… I’m telling you.. by end of ride three.. if I had known any top secret information.. and someone had offered me a padded seat.. I’d have told ’em everything I knew…
But… Kael had a blast… so.. I suppose it was worth it…
3D Ultrasound
Today (yesterday for those of you who actually use a calendar to determine what’s today, and what’s yesterday…) we went and got a 3D ultrasound taken of Baby Vegas (similar to the one we had done for Kael waaaaaay back when). We’ve got a bunch of pictures, a video (presumably with some really, really, cheesy music on it..we haven’t watched it yet).. and another confirmation that Vegas is still a girl.. here’s my favorite pic so far of the ultrasounds:
In case you’re having a hard time making it out, you should be able to locate (fairly easily, her hand, with two extended fingers) the portion of the image immediately to the right of that hand, is her face and head.. we’ve got pictures that show more detail on her face.. and I’ll put them up in a Gallery tomorrow..
First Post!
Kael wanted to help Daddy today.. so, here’s his first post to the blog (yes, I know its cheesy..and its been done before..but hey…)

Dream Machine
Yesterday, Apple introduced the Machine I’ve been waiting for, since before I bought the iMac G5… the dual, dual core PowerMac. That’s 4, count ’em 4, processors in the machine..PCI-Express, DDR2 RAM.. 2 gigabit ethernet ports….

Go Danica!
Not only is Danica Patrick the only woman Indy race car driver, rookie of the year.. and cute.. she can apparently beat up the male drivers as well (or, at least one of them). It seems that after she was involved in a wreck in the last race of the season, she rode to the hospital with the other driver (who she claims caused the crash) Lazier (the other drive) initially claimed that Danica punched him in the head while in the ambulance… apparently, he came to his sense, and realized, that he had just admitted that not only is a girl a better driver then him, but that she beat him up too… and has since changed his story to agree with Danica’s statement about poking him in the head… SI’s article on it is here..
Hmmm…. maybe I should add Danica to the list of possible names for Vegas…
Anderson Farms Year 2
Saturday, we took Kael up to Anderson farms, this is the second year we’ve taken him (obviously, since he’s only 2, it would be hard for us to have taken him 4 or 5 times now). This year, their corn mazes were setup to look like Dinosaurs (not that you can really tell when you’re inside the maze..but its cool anyway)
Kael had a blast.. we were supposed to be meeting one of Kael’s friends up there..but something came up, so they couldn’t be there this week.. He was running around.. he spent a little time in the hay maze (not as much as I had expected, especially since the hay maze at this place lets you climb up onto the maze). His favorite ‘attraction’ there, was a wooden ‘kid-size’ train with like 5 cars that kids could climb in and on… we had to drag him away!
We also let him pick his own pumpkin from their pumpkin patch.. the only rule he had..was that he could have any pumpkin he could carry.. so.. there were a few times when he would look at a pumpkin, go over to it, try and pick it up, say “nope, too heavy.” and go try another one… when he found his pumpkin.. he announced it with a “oh, its a perfect pumpkin!”
More pictures can be found here.
Snow Day
As I mentioned previously, we got the first snow of the winter the other day.. and in addition to the power going out (yes, everything survived the power failure without damage) we did have time to go out and play in the snow. Most pictures are over on the gallery page (still looking for feedback on the Gallery software, feel free to comment if you have an opinion). But, here’s one of my favorites:
Toddler Wisdom 8
“Pepsi is yucky Daddy, Coke is yummy”
And really.. how can you argue with him? He’s right you know! (And for all you who are getting ready to jump up and down, and scream that I’m letting my 2 year old drink Pop.. I don’t….he’s just smart like that..)
