January's Quotes

Caleb: "I am handsome, right mommy? And Daddy is handsome and you are handsome."
Mom: "Yes, you and Daddy are handsome but I'm a girl so I'm pretty."
Caleb: "No you're not pretty."

thanks caleb…

Lily runs into the other room where she had built a fort and in an angry voice yelled..."WHAT!?! Caleb!"
Caleb: "My chicken did it”    

Caleb: “Mom can we please blow up some candy?”
Mom: “Blow up some candy?”
Caleb: “Yeah mom, then it will be perfect.”

The only explanation I can give is Caleb LOVES sweets and lately he has become OBSESSED with pretending to blow things up or really destroying things in the house like his bed (hacking at it with Eric’s pocket knife, or ripping open stuffed animals and pulling out their fluff) so I guess in his mind if we combined the two (candy and destruction) its gotta be “perfect”.

I was trying to get dinner ready and Caleb was being rather annoying and nagging me for food, begging for a taste of whatever I chopping or preparing 
and I finally say
Mom:“Ok, ok! Just hold your horses buddy!”
Caleb: “But mom, I don’t see any horses?”

Mom: “Lily that was some good singing.”
Lily: “I just do what I can mom.”

Caleb: “Outch! That hurt! Mom this toy needs to go on time out it hurt me.”

Lily: “Dad I think I’m on the wrong time out.”

Lily: “Hey Caleb what are you eating?”
Mom: “Oh, I gave him some prunes, you want some?”
Lily: “What are prunes?”
Mom: “They’re dried out plums.”
Lily: “Instead of wet plums?”

January 2014

Holy cow this month was jammed packed with family celebrations! Let me break it down for ya all...

Eric turned 28 on the the 3rd, he requested lemon squares for his dessert. We celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary on the 4th and went to see Disney's newest animation film"Frozen" with all the kiddos (we loved it!). Caleb turned 3 on the 12th and he requested blue jello and corn dogs which, I made from scratch for dinner and a chocolate cake with orange frosting for dessert :) Caleb's favorite color is orange.  Sadly we didn't have any wrapping paper so we just covered his presents with big blankets :) Finally our newest family member, Audrey Hazel, made her grand entrance on the 29th. I will be making a post soon that is entirely dedicated to her birth as I have done for the other three.

Eric's 28th Birthday:





6 Year Anniversary!










Lily took these pictures for us :) That's why Eric's head is chopped off in one and the other one is blurry :) 

 Caleb's 3rd Birthday:
This little guy is ALL boy. He has so much energy and is full of curiosity. His curiosity, more often then not, gets him into trouble, but we still love him in spite of his craziness. He really can be a sweetheart when he wants to be and for the most part is a very happy boy. He is finally potty trained! He loves to play with his big sister Lily, and has the biggest sweet tooth ever. His favorite color is orange, he loves hanging out with Daddy, thinks guns, dinosaurs, swords and dragons are AWESOME! and his favorite primary songs are "Nephi's Courage" and "I love to see the Temple".













Can you tell which gift is Caleb's favorite? We tried giving him a kid sized basketball hoop to hopefully give him something to use up his energy in a positive way on those rainy days when were stuck inside but so far he hasn't been that interested in it :( 


We sure do love this guy and feel blessed to have him in our family.




Kylie and Mommy who is just about ready to pop!
