Our New Place!!!

So we found a new place to live that is less expensive, has more storage, a carport and driveway, a fenced backyard, a dishwasher and a disposal! We moved in about two weeks ago on a Saturday. Thanks to my family and friends we were moved out of our old apartment and moved in to our new place with pictures hung by 7pm that night with only our clothes to put away. We started this long day at 6:30am, at least for me and Tim. Men from our old ward and my family started showing up at 8. The men had the apartment totally emptied out by 9, then all of the women went to work cleaning. It is so amazing to me that you leave the place you lived in cleaner than when you actually lived there. We finished up there at Noon and headed to our new place to unpack. To say the least it was a very long day and thanks to my wonderful friend Jessica and my mom and sister Kim. I wouldn't have gotten so much done also thanks to my wonderful husband who worked up until he had just enough time to shower and air dry since I forgot which box had towels (oops) and hurry to work the rest of the day. Kaleb had a very hard time with the whole move he wasn't sure what was going on, I honestly didn't think it would even phase him, oh but it did he was very clingy if he couldn't see me he did fine but the minute he would see me he would only want me to hold him. My mom helped me out a lot by taking care of him so I could clean and unpack. Kaleb was a little trooper! He had a few days of adjusting to our new home and realizing I wasn't going to leave him. Now he loves it he crawls all over the place. We all really love it! It feels like a home. We are sad we had to leave the boundaries of our old ward that we loved but we look forward to this new change. Anyways here are some pictures of our new home!

Life Over As We Know It......

Kaleb is CRAWLING!!! Yeah I know life will never be the same!

Well he finally figured it out after swimming and pushing him self up on all fours for over a month. Saturday November 8th, My mom had called me and needed me to look some stuff up on the internet so I put Kaleb down on the ground in our bedroom and went in to the living room to jump on the computer. While I was on the computer I could hear Kaleb whining so I was talking to him and the next thing I knew he was in the hallway by the living room. He has a bit of a funny crawl he doesn't use both of his legs.It will make more since when you watch the second video. He loves to just roam arond our house. He has been good so far about leaving my decorations that are at his level alone but I know this too will not last. He also discovered on saturday that he can pull him self up to stand using the couch or his bed or Me.

He is such a happy boy always smiling or giggling. He also loves to grab your face with both hands and kiss you AKA slobber all over you!

Sorry I am not the best camera woman

This is what is looks like from the back you can see what I mean but a funny crawl. But he is starting to use both legs like you see most kids do.

K.A.L.E.B

So I finally have made Kaleb's name for his room. My friend Jessica learned how to do this so she was kind enough to share the idea with me and help me do the letters. It was pretty easy and fun. I am not all that crafty but this was fun. When Jessica first showed me the idea I thought I would do one for Alethia but I decided I should do Kaleb's first as my rough draft so when I do Alethia's I will know more of what I am doing.

So I just got the letters at Michael's and then got scrapbook paper and ribbon's and buttons to embelish them. Used mod Podge to put the paper on and hot glued the other stuff. Jessica is the wonderful artist who painted the baseball on the "A" for me.

Just some close ups of the letter's

I did baseball paper (Tim's favorite sport) even though his room is all sports.

Just a close up of some of the cute buttons I used.

Chunky Monkey!

Since we have called Kaleb Chunky Monkey since he was only a few weeks old, we decided to have Kaleb be a monkey for his 1st Halloween. I found this super cute monkey costume online at Spirit Halloween and when I found it I knew it was the perfect one for him. Maybe I am a little biased, but he sure is the cutest little monkey ever!

On Halloween I took Kaleb up to Layton Hills Mall because Tim had to work, so I wanted him to be able to experience a little bit of Kaleb's 1st Halloween. So Tim was able to take Kaleb around to all the competitors kiosks to Trick or Treat. After finishing up there we went to Grandma Julie's Annual Chili Cook Off at her ward. ( Which she won once again. They just might ask her not to make any next year so someone else has some chance of winning.) Then they have a Trunk or Treat after everyone eats. Poor Kaleb was about asleep on Uncle Ed, but he held out until we were done. We then went to the Hanson house for homemade donuts and Hot cocoa which they do every year. Kaleb slept in his car seat, so maybe next year he will get to enjoy Halloween a little more. He was really good though about wearing the costume even though he was tired and sick with a cold. He is such a little trooper. He did get to enjoy a sucker on the way home which he enjoyed until he lost it!

No we have not traded Kaleb in for a girl! The morning of Halloween before Tim Left for work he debated wearing my blonde wig when he decided he it would not really work. I decided to try it on Kaleb just to see how he would look. Well, Kaleb looked so cute I had to capture the moment. I showed the picture to some of my family and they didn't even realize it was Kaleb. They told me that is what our girls will look like only with darker hair. I sure love my little Boy though and am glad he is 100% BOY! These pictures will just be black mail for when he is older!

First SNOW Fall.....

Oh Yes SNOW!! Can you believe just barely into October and we are having to deal with snow whatever happened to FALL! Anyways it was Kaleb's first snow. We didn't go out and play in it but when we were walking into church he just kept looking all around trying to figure out what it was. He is so funny! Well the next snow we will try and let him play in it. We did bundle him up and go to our friends to make and eat some dessert.

Kaleb is so curious about everything and everyone right now. It makes it so hard to nurse him if there are people or anything for that matter to catch his attention. He eventually gets hungry enough to eat or I find a quiet place to nurse him. I love him tons though. He definitely makes life a lot more interesting!

This is what was left last night!

All bundled up ready to go down to the Brandts to make DESSERT!

Cousin Milo's Hat from when he was a toddler and mittens from Target's Dollar Bins!

SOO Tired!!!!

SO TIRED he rolled down the hall to his finally resting place!

So now that Kaleb is on his schedule I tend to feed him lunch @ noon and then he lays down for his nap @ one well in between lunch and nap I get ready for the day so Kaleb usually plays in the hall and watches mom do her thing. He usually loves it but we have our days when he fussy so sometimes I just finish after he is laid down or give him his blankie and every once in a while he will pass out it is the cutest thing to look over and see that he has gone to sleep so the other day I took a couple pictures so everyone can enjoy the cutest little Boy that we love so much!
