Best Christmas song

We both love taylor swift's music and this is the coolest christmas song.

Giggles and sneezing

Say What?

I'm so excited I just have to yell it out to the world...or the few people who read our blog.
WE'RE MOVING! We're moving into a 2 bedroom apartment! WAHOO!!! You might wonder why I'm so excited well here are a few reasons:
1. I won't have to sneak into my own room to get dressed while caleb is sleeping.
2. We can actually walk in the kitchen, instead of squeeze by each other to get a bowl of cereal.
3. Caleb will have room to play on the floor.
4. We can get our furniture from my parent's house because we'll have room for it!
5. I'll be able to decorate a nursery instead of 1/2 of a wall in our room.
6. We'll have a closet to put our vacuum, stroller, and tool box instead of lining the wall in our bedroom.
I could go on and on. One thing I might find I'll miss is that I will actually have to walk to get caleb out of his bed in the middle of the night instead of just standing up from my bed to pick him up.
When we went to look at this apartment it turned out to be a couple we knew from our old ward. They gave us a few discounts because they knew us. It's pays to go to church! Literally.
We are really blessed to be able to get this new apartment and I have to say thanks to Paul for his hard work and others. THANK YOU! We will enjoy our apartment very very very much!
We'll be moving Dec. 26, so if anyone wants to help I'll let you babysit! :)

Disney on ice

After work on Saturday we caught the frontrunner to salt lake and met up with my family to watch disney on ice. I had not been to it for 10 years and Amelia had never seen it so we couldnt pass up the opportunity, plus it was free. I have the best sister in the world, she gives more than anybody I know, thanks sean. Caleb enjoyed himself, he kept screaming which I took as cheering. I had been working out pretty regularly lately and eating good,but that all ended at the show. I am weak when it comes to things like this, we had cotton candy(my favorite), nachos, pizza and pop.

Family Pictures and MORE

A couple weeks ago my sister, Miranda and her family came to Utah to visit (she lives in Arizona). It was a real treat to see them all, it was the first time we met our new neice Taylor. She is adorable! While Brent was here he took pictures for the family, what a sport! Here are our first family pictures.




And some of our little Yankee fan.




We had a great family halloween party with the Clarks on Friday. We all enjoyed bobbing for apples, having a donut eating contest, making rootbeer, and we all dressed up. Amber came as a pregnant lady which was so normal for everyone it was barely a costume and we all had to do a double take!






HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The Big 22

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMELIA!

For her birthday I bought her two new car tires, what a great gift dont you think? On my way to work last night I realized the tire was flat and found there was a huge screw stuck in it. So instead of sleeping after school I had the pleasure of sitting at the tire shop. Amelia didnt want me to buy her a gift since we just put a deposit down for our cruise (only 7 months away!) but I did anyways. I bought her a nice Weber State jacket to replace her dungy fleece onee she always wears. We went out to eat at this steak house called prairie schooners, it was a fun atmosphere as you can see from the pictures below.

A cold one and some football

I havent gotten to watch many football games this year so I decided saturday I was going to stay awake after work and watch football with caleb. I went to the store and bought a cold one to enjoy as I watched the game..

I felt the after effects later..


ok ok I didnt really drink the beer, we used it in a awesome nacho dip we enjoyed during the game. This was caleb's first time watching football and he seemed to enjoy it, or maybe it was just the cool tv that he liked.

I picked out calebs outfit for the day, I think we are both dressed to watch some football.

It was Weber States homecoming this week and the school rented out the entire soloman center for the public to go and enjoy free bowling, games, rock climbing, and indoor surfing/body boarding. Shanlee and Tanner came up and enjoyed the free night out with us.





One last update. We have started to give caleb some solid foods. To date he has had peaches, applesauce, bananas, and a little ice-cream that his aunt salena sneaked into his mouth.


Oh and Happy Birthday to my siblings Salena and Samuel!!!!!

One day...

One day I hope to be like my parents: still in love, unwaivering, faithful, and happy.

Ready for the gym

So we have decided that for a graduation present to ourselves we are going to treat ourselves to a cruise. Neither of us has ever been on one before so we are really excited. Right now we are planning on going on the MEXICAN RIVERA trip. We want to go on a 7 day on but not sure if our bank account will allow it so it might only be a 4 day one. If we only do a 4 day cruise than we are going to spend an extra day or two in Los Angeles, where we will do some deep sea fishing(it is my only stipulation for us going on this trip).
Deciding to take this trip along with my schooling has given me the motivation to lose my fat belly that I have been working on since we got married. We have started to hit the gym alot more and have been diligent about what and how much we are eating. Caleb tags along with us at the gym, he just sits in his carseat and looks at the girls working out by him :)( his mom mostly, hubba hubba)


Caleb was dressed for the gym, his basketball shorts are so cute.


Calebs first pair of jeans!




THIS IS WHERE WE WILL BE CHILLIN IN MAY

A picture is worth a thousand words

Busy bees

Finally I have a minute to update. School has started and we are busy busy bees. buzzzz buzzz We finished our summer with a 3 day trip to Lava Hot Springs where we unexpectedly met Jason and his family and Paul's parents for a day at the pool. It was a blast, but Caleb didn't like the cold water. Paul is VERY proud of himself because he jumped from the highest platform, somehow he talked his nephew, Austin, into jumping with him. I only got as far as the 2nd one and I had had my adrenaline rush for the day.

I quit my job so I could stay home with Caleb as much as possible in between classes. It's been great not to have to work. Paul and I started classes last Monday and it's been go go go since then. I take Caleb to my mom's most days of the week and she graciously takes her little grandson. Then it's off to classes for both Paul and I (17 credits each this semester). Paul is also preparing to take the GRE for graduate school and looking into a few schools to apply for, if you have study tips for the GRE let him know.

Paul had been looking forward to tomato season for months so he could have his mom teach him how to can pizza sauce. It turned out great!

Caleb was blessed with 2 new cousins this past month: My sister Miranda gave birth to Taylor Ellen Jackman, and my Sister-in-law Sherise had Samuel Enoch Robertson. Both beautiful healthy babies.

Caleb is growing like a weed! He was last weight 3 weeks ago and he was 13 lbs. 4 oz. and 24 inches long, that's the size of an average 4 month old!!! Paul and I love to listen to him giggle and he's not shy to share his smiles.

1, 2, 3, GO!



Watchin' football at the hotel in Lava Hot Springs.



We went on a hike at Lava Hot Springs, it was refreshing.
