Its a.....Puppy

Yes....the rumors are true.....we have a puppy....his name is "KALEB".

 

 Kaleb acts like a little puppy dog. He always tries to put my shoes in his mouth. He'll take his socks off and crawl around the living room with them in his mouth. He bites my couch and anything he can put in his mouth...like paper (usually ends up shredded by him). His toys are strewn across the house.

He does eat less than a real puppy. Kaleb is a funny character and keeps life interesting at our house...Can't turn your back or he'll be into something else.

Extended Family

While in Powell we to see Chris's baby Boy Manti for the first time. He is a few months younger than Kaleb. We also spent time with My grandparents Mae and Louis Blohm. Also I was fortunate to see the whole Stingley Family. Scott and Billie were there, Tyler, Aunt Julie and Uncle Kent....can't for get one of Kaleb's favorite, Tyler's dog Jess.

 It was so much fun going back to visit Family. Miss them lots and I am grateful for technology that allows me to keep in contact with them.

Harley Davidson!

In some of Kaleb's clothes that have been given to us...we found a Harley Davidson shirt. My dad just last year FINALLY got his Harley we got pictures of Kaleb with his Papa on Papa's Harley.

Bigelow Summer Thus Far...

Our Summer has flown by so fast! Though there is still half left over we've been busy but we feel like there is still so much we should do! In June we had the opportunity to go to Wyoming and stay for  whole week!! We were in Newcastle and then traveled over to Powell. The end of June I finished my schooling and got my certificate in Medical Assisting. Adam also passed is Nursing test and is an LPN (licensed practical nurse). Kaleb began crawling about the Middle of June. Adam then started his RN year on July 2nd. And Now mid- July Kaleb pulls himself up to anything and everything. He had his first face plant and fat lip (poor baby). He's just growing up too fast! He's wanted to be more independent and express that to us with fits when we do things he doesn't want us to...but he is still such a great baby and we love him!

 

Big Boy!

Kaleb is almost 6 months old and is sitting up by himself without assistance. He does baby push ups getting really close to trying to crawl but decides he'd rather just lay on his stomach and complain to his toys. Kaleb is getting ready to go places, but luckily I have a few more days til my house must be extra clean before he tares it apart.

He has the James family ears ;)

5 Months!

Five months have already gone by! Kaleb is excelling so quickly! He's been eating rice cereal and enjoying bananas. He's rolling all over my living room, and is a chatter box! It's crazy to think just a few months ago he was  a tiny new born (not exactly a tiny new born, he was 8.1oz and 21") but compared to his size now he was tiny.

Newborn Kaleb!

5 months old!

Kaleb has been an amazing addition to the family! He is always cheerful except when he's tired...and he's always smiling and making others smile! Too soon he will be crawling and Look out! He'll be unstoppable!

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.
