Caleb's 1 year pictures!

It happened over a month ago, already! But, we finally got his pictures taken yesterday at Target. Just as a side note, Target, JC PENNY, and SEARS all do free session + discounted sheets/discounted packages coupon deals. Well, I like Targets package deal: 16 wallets instead of 16 minis. Who knows what to do with that many minis anyway?

So, here's the link if you wanna check out our cutie pie!! They were so adorable, I had the hardest time picking one for the free 8x10...but I finally chose the one where he is standing. We love our little boy!

I hope it works. Let me know if it doesn't and if you're still super curious.

Fair, family, and fun!

We've had a lot of fun the past month...

We were home by ourselves for a month while Justin's parents picked his brother up from his mission and took him back to BYU. It was a nice change to have the house to ourselves, to do the grocery shopping, our schedule, etc. But, it was made even more obvious to us that we depend on Justin's parents right now. We need their financial support, especially, cuz we just can't do it. We sure are blessed to have such a generous family, all the way around.

While we were by ourselves, Caleb and I played around the house; he helps me with the dishes a lot!

We went to a fair and Caleb got to pet some farm animals. It rained a bit and he was so tuckered by the end of it! It was a fun family outing!

One night we even stopped the ice cream truck and bought a push pop!! haha, Caleb LOVED it, though he needed some help with it at times.


Justin had an interview in Iowa. It was cheaper than flying so, we drove to Iowa. Yup, that's right, 21 hours one direction, 22 coming home. We stopped in Columbus to stay with my sister and drop Caleb off with Grandma who happened to be visiting...then Justin and I continued on to Iowa. It was really great to see the campus and the city. We liked it lot, actually. It wasn't too big, but just big enough. They're a little obsessed with their Hawkeyes though... We took a day break on our way home and Grandma treated all of us to the zoo! Thanks Grandma! It was really crowded and Caleb didn't get as excited about the animals...but it was nice to get out and see some of the city!

Now we're home!! This is what we did most of Monday (not really, but it sounds good, right?).

As for more updates, Justin has an interview scheduled with University of Minnesota, Boston University, and Ohio State University. That makes 5 in all! I'm so proud of him and his hard work. It's not gonna be easy to keep up his classes with all this traveling. It's so worth it though! He works so hard! We're excited about all the development and opportunity.

Caleb is so much fun! He gets into everything and loves to play hide and go seek, and that little squirt loves his cherry tomatoes straight from the vine.
