Lately...

So in an attempt to make a good first blog I decided to just post some current pictures of the family, and tell you whats going on in our lives.

I'm loving being a stay at home mom, and spending every possible minute with Caleb! He is so much fun! Starting in January I will be going back to school to get a degree in Art and Visual Communications. We will see how that goes! I just took my placement test, and wow I have TONS to learn! Other than taking care of Caleb and preparing myself to go to school I am the music conductor for R.S. at church... except I don't know if I lead or confuse the music more!

Nathan is attending BYU and is in the Information Systems program. Along with going to school full time, Nathan is working for a company testing software. Family time is short, but Nathan is such a wonderful husband and daddy! He makes juggling school, work and the very little play time he gets look easy. He just works so hard! Nathan is also the Sunday School teacher for our ward and he does an awesome job teaching each Sunday!

The pictures below are of Caleb sitting with Nathan on a long night, just watching daddy do his homework.

Caleb (probably the main reason everyone is checking this site) is getting bigger and smarter every day! He is always amazing us!

Caleb has recently learned how to grab and hold onto things that he wants....his bottle is by far his favorite item to grap for! He has also learned to pull my hair and and earings.

These pictures were after eating some yummy sweet potatoes a few days ago. Caleb LOVED them!

Such a MESS!!

Caleb is also working on sitting up. He can currently sit un-assisted for about 1 minute, and then he begins to fold over as this picture shows. He has toppled over a few times, and bumped his head, but he keeps wanting to try!

We wonder who Caleb will follow after when it comes to walking. He can already stand for a LONG time so long as he is holding on to something. His little legs are super strong!

Bath time is for sure a favorite for Caleb! I think he would spend all day in the tub if I let him. He has so much fun kicking and splashing! He squeals when its time to get out!

I think he is trying to figure out how to get ahold of the faucet in this picture... he always reaches for it during baths!

Such cute toes!

So cute all wrapped up in his bath towels! Too bad we will soon have to use real towels...he is getting TOO big to wrap the towels around him!

Almost all the cousins (Missing Cody) on our visit up to Washington over Labor Day Weekend.

Sitting in his Bumbo chair ready for something yummy to eat. :)

Sitting in his swing, looking like such a BIG boy!

New Pajamas for the winter! They aren't as thick as I thought they were... but still cute!

We got our first snow the last week of September, (EARLY!!) so naturally we had to take Caleb out to experience it! He wasn't quite sure of what was going on, becasue he has only been in rain once or twice before. After being outside a few minutes he started opening his mouth and trying to eat the snowflakes just like Daddy!
