More updates...

Caleb is really my little buddy. Because we live so close to cousins it seems like he and I are at home alone...a lot! So with him taking SHORT naps lately, he is around for "cooking" dinner. He thinks it's great because Jake isn't home to tell him to take off his apron. I think it's time I make Jake a bigger one and give this one to Caleb. Either way, I couldn't be happier to have this HAPPY kid around. Yes, he puts his fingers in EVERYTHING, and spills everything but honestly, I have to admit I have several "tender" moments when I think, "Seriously, you are so adorable!"

Alayna and her cousins working on a FHE art activity. They were all in HEAVEN! I had just enough girls camp supplies left over for the four older kids to do a temple art project. They all were so proud of their hard work!

Isn't it amazing the DARLING smiles you can capture when it's a 2 year old, a balloon and NO older SIBLINGS teasing him! Once again, he's in total heaven when he hangs out with mom!

I guess paying for preschool is paying off...He knows how to write his name. And he passed off all his Alphabet letters and sounds.

Way to go Jake! Let's just say that this STAR is something special to Jake. He lost it momentarily, starting BAWLING hysterically and then was screaming..."But MOM, my star necklace is VERY SPECIAL TO ME!" Thankfully he found it in a bush and it's in a safe place now.

Updates on life...

Grandpa turned 90...he had his 4-tier cake that he decided he wanted and too many cupcakes to count! We all sent my Aunt memories and favorite things we loved about Grandpa. She shared them at the park for everyone to enjoy. It was SO fun to reminisce on so many memories and reasons why we are so thankful to have Grandpa in our life. And to have set such an amazing, inspiring and hard working example for us all. His legacy will always live on.

Just a cute picture of Caleb and Krista at the park!

We have also been spending some time on Saturday's cheering on Conner at his football games! Go Mustangs!

Olivia and Caleb posing for a cute picture...Caleb is yelling at the top of his lungs either..."Go CONN-O" or "Conno's football game!" (I write Conn-o because Caleb can't say his "R" sounds just like my other kids at this age!! We are just hoping he grows out of it too!!!
