As old as dinosaurs...

Not really, of course, but that's what we kept telling her. Justin even made Mom a card during Sacrament Meeting (her birthday was a few weeks ago) that had a picture of a dinosaur and a bonfire engulfing the cake because of all the candles on it. :-D She thougt it was funny.


These are the cupcakes we made for her...they say "60." And they have Dinosaur sprinkles. :-)

Despite our teasing, we still showed our love for Mom on her birthday. See, Mom and DAd have a few gift cards to go to some restaurants...but they NEVER seem to make it to them. Something else ALWAYS has to be done. So, we decided that since they never go out to eat, we'll bring the restaurant to them. We splurged. We bought shrimp. It was quite pricy, but we got to enjoy it, too.

It was blackened shrimp stroganoff. And it was DELICIOUS!! Oh my goodness! We were cooking for like 3 hours to make the garlic asparagus and the spaghetti and the shrimp...and yes, both of us were cooking. Justin is a great cook. I love his help in the kitchen. It's so much fun to cook with him! Anyway, it was a hit. Home run. Slam dunk. GOOOOOOOOOOAL!
(if you want the recipe, let us know! It's pricy, like I said, but AWESOME for a special occasion)



And I think this is the video? Well, I guess not, but it's the snapshot of the video. You know how it goes. :-)

Cute Baby

I just love this picture! I especially love Caleb's retro shirt he's wearing (he's got a few of those...thanks Grandma and Grandpa Anderson!)

Big Baby, Big Baby!

This was almost a month ago...Caleb was wanting to be held so I decided to try out the wrap again (he hated it before).


And he's huge! He's almost half of me! Crazy kid!

Secret Life

Caleb usually wakes up and plays in his crib for a bit in the morning, while we're running around getting Justin off to work and I'm teaching. It changes every morning who greets him, because sometimes I'm in front of the computer; sometimes Justin is in the shower; sometimes we don't know he's even awake yet!



Well, this is how Justin found him the other day. Secret life revealed...was he trying to change into Super Baby? lol I don't know...

Many videos...

Okay, so I've got lots of videos on my computer that I've taken of Caleb...some of them are quite old, but I thought, "Why did I take them if I'm not going to show them to anybody?" So, they're not in any certain order, and you don't have to watch all of them. But here they are! :-D



This one is just Caleb with his sippy cup. I love how he just attacks the cup and then gets surprised when water actually comes out of it. He seems to like it a lot, though!


So, this one is kind of dark (sorry!), but it's from our Ward Valentine's Dance. They're doing the hokey-pokey. :-)



For Valentine's Day, Justin gave Caleb this awesome green ball (which isn't actually "round"...it rolls away from you sometimes). Caleb loved it but he couldn't do much with it, so we thought we'd introduce him to the concept of KICKING the ball--gotta start training him early, right? lol Well, he loved it...and since he's learned how to hold it and try to devour it. not quite. haha




And this last one is the JUMPEROO I found on Craigslist for him. He's always jumping on our laps when we hold him, and makes my arms so tired! These things are not cheap, so I was super excited to get one for him. And this is his first run at it. Do ya think he likes it?

Well, that's all folks!
