My 2 very smart boys :)

Today has been pretty exciting!! (When your with a 5 month old 24/7 small things like blowing bubbles with your spit is pretty exciting). Today Caleb learned how to roll all over the place! He loves it. Now I don't know how I'll get him to take good naps because he always wants to sleep on our bed but I don't want him to roll off! Its quite the dilemma. Once he gets onto his tummy he pulls his little legs under him and gets up in a crawling position. My money is on him crawling like a pro by two weeks. Hes such a smart boy! He gets it from his daddy. Also, his 2nd tooth broke thru today! So now he has two little daggers he can bite me with. They are pretty cute though.
The final exciting thing for today has to do with my other boy! Kiel won honorable mention for his Chuck Norris paper in a paper writing contest at BYU! He won $100! And because I edited it he said he'll share a little with me so we are going to go do something fun. Yeah...I'm pretty proud of him :)

Rasberries!!!

I love it how Caleb seems to learn something new and cute every single day!! He's so smart. Well, his new thing is blowing rasberries and it is so cute we had to take a video and share it with you all! Enjoy!

Caleb's 1st Tooth!

Most babies don't get their 1st tooth for several more months, but what can I say? Our baby is advanced. He gets that from his daddy! He's actually had this little tooth for a few weeks and his 2nd one is on it's way in, but these are his first 1st tooth pictures :) The process has been a little rough for him...hes been more fussy than usual, which means hes just a little fussy cuz he never use to be at all! The nights are a little rough too...thats the hardest part! But the past 2 nights have been better...one of them he only woke up once! And did I mention he druels a hundred gallons a day??!

Carving Pumpkins

We got together with Ana and Spencer Garlick and finally carved our pumpkin just days before Halloween! (The design was all Kiel's)

Caleb oversaw the whole project...

Why are the guys just watching??

~Caleb~

Our little baby was born May 11, 2008 and he is now 5 and 1/2 months old. He is so cute!! I love him to death! Being a mother is the greatest thing in the world. I love spending all my time with him everyday. He is so smart and he learns new things everyday. He can sit up by himself but sometimes he falls over and bonks his head :( He is such a happy baby and we are so lucky to have him!

*Our Beginnings*

Kiel and I met shortly after we both started attending BYU in Sept 2006. We both lived at Branbury and our first Sunday at church I was standing all alone because my roommates were in Arizona at the BYU vs. ASU football game. So there I was trying to strike up conversations with ppl but no one would talk to me! So Kiel, feeling sorry for me, came over and started talking to me. He was so nervous! He wouldn't hardly even make eye contact! I thought that was kinda funny but we had some similarities (we were both majoring in Poli Sci at the time) so we hung out a bit. Our first date was just about a week later and we went to Park City. I had such a fun time!! I came back and told my roommates all about it and mentioned that Kiel was a pretty fine guy. A few days later he stopped by my apt with a horchata! I love horchata and I must have told him. Anyway, I thought that was the cutest thing. A few days after that a group of us went star gazing in the canyons and on the way home Kiel held my hand. It was official. We were dating. The dating part was a little rough for us but I guess it was meant to be because we got engaged June 16, 2007. Kiel took me back to Park City and we walked around and then took the ski lift to the top of the mountain. We were the only ones up there and he got down on a knee and proposed! It was dark when we were riding back down and it was such a pretty view! We got married August 18, 2007 and since then have had a darling little boy, Caleb, born May 11, 2008. Thats our happy little family!
