A Little Bit Of Everything!!



So much has been going on with us the past month and I have not been very good about updating my blog. We moved out of out apartment at the end of April ( Hurray ) and we have been staying at my parents house and their computer is a little old so I have not been able to figure out how to use it but I did so now you get a post of everything for the past month. Well we moved into our house today and are very excited to get settled and unpack everything I will try and take some pictures of it tomorrow. I have been working on the painting with the help of my friend Madison and we are getting there but it's not quite done but will be this week. I am looking forward to that I can't say that painting and ripping down wall paper is my favorite thing but it will defiantly be worth it in the end when everything is done we are loving the house and the neighborhood and our new ward has been great. Here are a few pictures of the past month.
Ben and I have been watching my brother Jeff's kids during the day while my sister-in-law has gone back to work and the other day I had the 3 younger kids napping ( HURRAY ) anyway so I asked Kohlter if he wanted to bake some brownies and I let him lick the spatula which is the best part of the whole thing I think.

My cousin Austin went on his mission and so Ben and I went up to Idaho for his fair well any my cousin Heather's Dad lives up there and they have some calf's up there that they are bottle feeding and I thought it would be fun to go and help them and take Caleb. We had so much fun doing it that when my brother Jeff got up there the next morning we all went out so his kids could see them too. I can't say I would ever want to be a farmer but it was fun to help out.
This was Caleb and I out at the Farm.

This one was trying to escape is was funny.


At the beginning of the Month we had to opportunity of going and seeing Wicked with my entire family and it was the best thing I have ever seen I would have more pictures from this but I got yelled at by the lady for having my camera well I do have more but I can't figure out how to get them to flip so they are the right direction on my parents computer.

Moving On Up!!

Ben and I are going to be moving into a HOUSE in Bountiful. This past weekend we moved out of our apartment and are staying with my parents for the month of May while we finish up a couple of things on the house. We are painting and putting carpet in one of the rooms. Although we were very sad to leave our ward which we loved we are excited for what the future hold for us with being in a house. We have been wanting to move for a while now because we have not been happy with our apartment and when this house became available we couldn't pass it up. It has a huge fenced backyard for darling little Pugsley ( our dog ) to run around in and it's in a neighborhood which will be great for Caleb as he is getting older. I will post some pictures as soon as I find my camera of the before and after. And the best part is that we are living across the street from my brother Clint and more importantly Tanya.

A Little Of Everything!!

We have had a very full week. Ben's cousin Quinci and her husband Shawn have been staying with us from Kansas we had so much fun with them we mostly ate a lot of food but it was great. My pictures are kind of everything from the past week Easter and Shawn & Quinci. The picture above was from last night at our Easter party at my brother Clint's house. My sister-in-law Tanya got Nylons to have the kids put over their heads to play tag with it was great and highly entertaining at the same time. Thanks for a fun party Tanya.

My brother Jeff and nephew Phin.

This is my nephew Briggs he took the Nylon thing to a whole different level.

Kohlter what a fun kid he is.


I told Ben I was going to post this one.






Ben's Mom put together a fun Easter bag for Caleb with some little toys and money for him and he was very interested in the eggs lately everything he gets goes right into his mouth.



We went to Rodizio Grill with Qunici and Shawn while they where here and as always it was fabulous that place is amazing.

Caleb, Shawn, and Quinci. Yes they have a Caleb as well that was a little confusing this week trying to keep them straight but he is a darling little boy and it was so much fun to get to spend time with them and see Caleb's little personality.

Caleb and Daddy at dinner.



This is Quinci, Myself, Casie and Breann. These are Ben's cousins and when we get together we have so much fun. We met up last Monday at Cafe Rio for dinner and it was so much fun. The boys where good to take the kids home so Quinci and I could go have some girl time and we laughed a little to hard. Casie sang some Salt and Pepper from back in the day and it was hilarious I don't think I have laughed that hard in a long time. Thanks for the laugh Casie.

I Do Not Like Green Eggs & Ham!

So Dr. Seuss's Birthday is March 2nd and my Mom threw a Dr. Seuss Party last night for the grand kids. My Mom loves doing parties like this and she thought it would be fun to have a party in honor of him. We had Green Eggs & Ham and read some of his books and played games the grand kids loved it. So here are some pictures of the party last night.

This is my nephew Brooks eating his Green Eggs & ham with his Cat In The Hat on.

I guess there is a book with something to do with sock I am not that familiar with the names of them all but my Mom had the kids put sock on their hands and then they had to stack boxes up on top of each other from smallest to largest. This is my nephew Phin playing the game.



My cute Niece Liberty.

I messed Briggs's hair up and thought it was funny.





My Mom mixing the Green Eggs & Ham. Thanks for yet another fun party from Grandma. Caleb had a lot of fun I can't wait until the next one.

Caleb Is Doing Better.

So I thought that I would just do a little update about Caleb's RSV he is in day 6 of it and is doing good. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday we went to the Dr. Office just to make sure his Oxygen levels where good so he wouldn't have to go to the hospital and everyday they where so we are thankful for that. He has been very wheezy and congested in his chest so on Friday and Saturday they gave him a steroid shot to help with that and for the most part he was a happy little boy and was sleeping good. We found out on Friday that he had an ear infection and so that was probably why he was up all night Thursday crying. We went in yesterday and they said that he is doing good and is on the road to recovery which I am grateful for this nice Spring weather is killing me because I want to go on a walk with Caleb and I can't but there will be many more beautiful days. Thanks you to everyone who called or sent a message to make sure he was ok.

Poor Little Guy

So I took Caleb to the doctor yesterday because he had a little cough and he was a little wheezy so they tested him for RSV and did a couple of other things on him. Poor little guy his results came back positive so they sent us home with this nebulizer for him to use every 4 to 6 hours. He was up all night long crying he couldn't relax at all needless to say it was a long night with not a lot of sleep for Ben and I. They say that with RSV that days 4 and 5 are the worst so I think we are going to have a few more sleepless nights.

I Scream You Scream We All Want Ice Cream!!

We had Ben's family over for dinner last night and for dessert we had Orange Dream Bars and my Sister-In-Law Kim asked if she could give Caleb some and this is what happened. He has been into food for a while now but it has been baby food but about the past week or so he will throw a fit if he wants what you are eating until you give him some it is cute and annoying at the same time because he is almost 8 months old but he still has no teeth so I don't want to give him something he can't handle all he has had besides baby food is a little bit of bread and mashed potatoes those are his favorite.

I think he had a Brain Freeze in this one a little.

Best Little Buddies!

Caleb and I went and hung out with my Friend/Cousin on Friday with her little boy Daxton. Angie is one of my really good friends from growing up and then I just happened to marry her cousin so now I guess we are related. Anyway Angie is helping me make diaper bag so we went to the fabric store and I think we had 5 or 6 people ask us if they were twins keep in mind they are 5 months apart. Caleb and I look to many more outings with Ang and Daxton.






This one is my favorite.

Mellisa or Molly?

So I am in love with the Bachelor but I am a little disappointed in Jason. I liked both girls and really didn't care who won but I think that it is so sad that he had to break Melissa's heart in front of Millions of people. Anyway I went to this Party over at Ben's uncle's house and we had a great time. There where probably about 20 people there even boys and they got into it was great. I can't wait for the season of the Bachelorette to start with Jillian I like her alot and think she will be great.

Beans and I at the Party.
