Christmas 2009

Christmas Decorations

So I jumped the gun a little this year and put up my Christmas a little early and I am loving it. This is my favorite time of the year and I love having my home decorated plus I think I have some fun decorations. This picture above is on my piano.

We have only ever had an apartment and so we have only just ever had these 3 little tree's I will probably get a big tree this year but for now this is what we have.

The Mantel

My favorite party of my Christmas decorations is our village. This is a close up of it. Ben and I wanted to start a tradition when got married and so we decided to buy a piece to a village every year and this is what it is turning into and we love it Caleb does to he looks at the lights and says Wow in this cute little whisper voice.

Joy's Halloween Party

So my best friend Joy through an amazing Halloween Party at her house this past Monday and it was so much fun. We had great food and enjoyed each others company. Thanks for the great party Joy I can't wait until next year and for our Ugly Sweater Party this year.

Ben went as the Swine Flu and Caleb was a Skeleton. He is going to be a Cowboy for Halloween so he wore this for the party.

Witches Brew

Witches Night Out

My family every year goes out to Gardner Village and goes to Witches Night Out. For those of you who live under a rock or in Colorado ( Teralyn ) and don't know what it is there is a place in Sandy that has little shops with darling little things and every October they do a thing called Witches Night Out and it's mostly girls and you dress up like a witch and it's a big party with fun costumes and they have great sales. It was so much fun this year.

This is my cousin Heather, my Aunt Margo, and my Grandma Jensen at dinner before.

Heather and I

This is my darling cousin Mandi. If any of you know her tell her if she had a blog she could look at this but since she doesn't she probably won't know it's here. Thanks everyone for a fun night I can't wait till next year.

Feeding Time

I guess this is what happens when you let your kids feed themselves breakfast. My Dad came over this morning while I was feeding Caleb breakfast and I left the yogurt on his tray for some reason without thinking and when I turned around he had dumped in out on his tray and was playing with it. I though about cleaning it up and then just decided to let him go to town it's nothing that can't be cleaned up and he had fun playing with it.

Pumpkin Patch

Ben and I went to a Pumpkin Patch this past week with some of our friends. Caleb honestly could have cared less about it but we had fun taking him.

Our little family

I know I am his Mom but man he is cute.

Some Of Caleb's Favorite Things!

Caleb has recently discovered Oreo's and he LOVES them. This is a picture of him after he ate one he gets a little messy but it's nothing you can't clean up.

I was cleaning my car out this past week and Caleb was helping me. He loves to dance now it's so funny how he does it so this is him dancing in my car.

Okay I really don't give him Dr. Pepper but we have some on our bottom shelf in our kitchen and he loves to pull everything off and play with it.

Ben likes to put his shorts on his head he thinks it's funny and I do have to admit it's cute.

Now this is really cool to open the doors on our entertainment center and pull everything out and then climb in there.

How Cute Is He?

I have been horrible at updating my blog but honestly nothing to exciting has been going on in my life. We went to Memory Grove the other day and Caleb just posed himself like this and I think it's the cutest thing ever. He just turned 14 months this past week I can't believe how time flies. He says Mom, Dad, Uh-Oh, Puppy, Hi and I think that's about it. He crawls everywhere and walks along walls but has not taken any steps so far which is just fine with me. It has been so nice to be blessed so much that I am able to stay home with him he is the best thing ever.

The Past Month & Then Some

I guess I knew the day would come that Caleb would turn 1 but I guess I just didn't realize how fast it would come. Caleb turned 1 on the 15th of July and this was at his little party. We had a BBQ at our place with lots of family and friends. Caleb weighs 20 lbs 14 oz ( 20% ) and he is 28 3/4 inch's tall ( 20% ) and then his head is 18 3/4 inches ( 90% ) he must get his brains from me. Caleb is crawling everywhere and getting into everything. He has 1 tooth coming in and he is the happiest little guy ever. He went from being a baby to a little boy overnight it seems like but he is for sure the BEST thing that has ever happened to Ben and I we love him so much and are so grateful for him.

My Mom made his Birthday cake so this was him blowing out his candle.

Madison, Myself, and Shonda.

They are both pregnant and have the cutest little belly's they are only 2 weeks apart.

We had a water party for Caleb's birthday so my Mom did a Water theme cake and it was so hot outside that it kind of fell apart so we just decided that it was a water slide cake. Thanks Mom the kids and Caleb loved the cake. Caleb and I went back to Kansas for about 2 weeks to play with Quinci this was us at the Cheese Cake Factory eating yummy food.

A friend of mine from High School Rachel lives in Kansas right by Quinci and her and I were able to meet up in Heaven ( aka Panera Bread ) to catch up it was so good to see her we haven't seen each other since High School.

While I was in Kansas Qunici and I drove to Minnesota for a week to hang out with her grandparents and one of the days we went to Sudan MN and went to a Mine up there this was Caleb and I outside of the mine.

Getting ready to go down in the Mine.
