Eastering

Eastering, (as they call it in Utah), was our families first camping trip of the year. My sister Loni and her husband were going to be working on their new wood for so we volunteered to take her oldest two Ayden and Ellie camping with us. Tate got some one on one time with Aunt Danielle and his Nana and Grandpa Shaw.

We were down in the Buckhorn wash this year and the weather was amazing! The kids had fun climbing up and down the rocks behind our trailer, and seeing all the exciting things Uncle Adam could show them. examples, dinosaur foot print, Geo cashing, Indian paintings, and geode finding.

Adyen, (with the help of Uncle Adam) found the treasure!

 

 

They also participated in an Easter Egg hunt. Thanks Brenda for letting them join in! Thanks Loni for letting us borrow your kids for the weekend we had tons of fun!

 

Kaleb has been tons of fun lately. He is getting very close to rolling over. As soon as he figures out how to move his elbow out of his way there will be no stopping him. He now reaches and plays with toys. He especially loves this ball with lots of holes that my Mom got him because his fingers can grab it. He also likes a moose from Adam's Mom we named "Roofus". Here is a video of the litte man "playing" (yelling) at his toys.

 

 

 

Our weekend get away

This weekend, we went down to Moab with friends from work. It was beautiful weather roughly 50 degrees. So we took Kaleb in our new Baby backpack! Kaleb did amazing. He slept most of the day and was a happy baby! He loves the outdoors too ;)

 

Canyon Lands

TV and Downton Abbey

 Last weekend Adam finally got a chance to watch a movie after a busy week with the Nursing  Program. Kaleb also enjoyed a night with daddy watching "Ice Age" 4.

 

Then This week Adam was busy doing homework, so Kaleb and I got some quality time watching Downton Abbey. I first heard of the series from my sisters and Natalie months ago. I saw the first and second season at the library and figured I'd try them out.  Love IT! Soon Kaleb and I will have Adam enjoying it too!


And Yes I'm enjoying a snack!

Late night owl!

Kaleb has slept through the night 3 nights in a row! However, he will hang out and party till 11:30 to Midnight before he crashes. This is one of our late night hang outs.

Um...so hope you guys aren't tired...."I thought maybe we could make ginger bread houses, and eat cookie dough, and go ice skating, and maybe even hold hands."

Good night Kisses

Can't get this milk out of my gums...

Daddy's method

I was busy doing something and asked Adam to hold / watch Kaleb.  Adam was trying to help with dinner. And I walked into the kitchen to this....(I guess if that what works for you Honey)

Attractive pose

He wasn't unhappy, but wasn't happy either

Nana Papa Time

Nana's turn with Kaleb



Just watching Papa

 

My Parents were down over New Year's weekend and Kaleb met my dad for the first time. It was so much fun having them here. We live quite a distance apart, so it makes time spent with them more special. Goodbyes were so hard, but thank goodness for technology of cell phones, facebook, blogs, and skype to keep us close. Miss you Mom and Dad!
