Fun In Ohio...

It has been too long since we updated. I am very sorry we have not gotten internet yet so my sister Sarah told me an easier way to do since the only internet is at the clubhouse and you can’t be on the computers very long. Anyways we are doing great and enjoying the new place! You are probably wondering what we have been up to well one of our friends from the singles ward in Chicago got married the last weekend in May so being so close I really wanted to go, so Tim was very kind and let me go for the week and My friend Rachel also was very kind and picked me up half way and let me stay with her for the week. It was so fun being back there I didn’t do much but Wednesday Jillian another friend came and we had a blast it was like the good old days only with a little boy to have to tend to! Thursday Jillian to Kaleb and me to the Science and Industry Museum in downtown Chicago (I forgot to bring my camera sorry) Kaleb loved it they had tractors and plastic animals and his favorite part probably was the section where they have chicks hatch daily behind a glass case but Kaleb loved seeing the little chicks! Friday we helped set up for the wedding reception and then went home for a girl’s night of pizza and relaxing! Saturday was the wedding which I was able to go to the sealing it was wonderful our old bishop from the singles ward was the sealer. After the sealing we all went to On the Border it is one of my favorite restaurants I wish we had one in Utah it is the best Mexican food ever! Then we just relaxed until it was time for the reception. The reception was great since Susan is a big dancer there of course was great dancing it was so fun to dance again I only wished Tim had been there so I could have danced more! I also got to see the Gillespie’s (the family I was the nanny for) the girls have all grown up but it was so fun to see them. Kaleb loved them of course and they danced with him which I am sure he loved! It was sad to leave but good to be back with Tim! I sure love Chicago!

Memorial weekend the pool opened so every chance it is warm enough we venture to the pool Kaleb likes it but for the most part we sit on the steps of the pool and Kaleb throws the balls in the water. He has taken a couple nose dives that have scared me and he has tried to just jump in a few times without us in the pool I wish he was a little more scared of the water so I wouldn’t have to worry so much! The pool is not heated so it is a little cold but once you get use to it is nice and refreshing I am hoping it does warm a little as the weather gets hotter! Although we have been told that June is Cincinnati’s rainy month which it has been quit rainy we have heard a few tornado warnings and had hail but no sightings in the town we are in but I was sure to ask Tim what I should do just in case!

We have been back to the dog Park, which is called Wiggly Field, Kaleb loves to go the last time we went he got ran over a couple times but after some loves from me he was off to playing again I did take some pictures this time they aren’t the best but what can you expect from dogs! This last time we went there was this pug that was there and it was so funny because the owner and dog looked just like each other, if they come again I will try and take a picture it was so funny! It is weird how some people just resemble their dogs! We love going to the dog park with Bennett, Helina and Blue.

This past Saturday we went to a petting farm that is part of the park district. They have awesome park districts out here with lots of things to do in them. So we went with Bennett, Helina, and Aubrey (the other managers wife) the twins Beck, Dawson, Molly (wife of one of the sales guy) and Angie (friend of the mangers family) it was so fun they had this old barn that was filled with fun things to climb and ball pits and slides. Kaleb of course loved the ball pit and just running around. Then we went and looked at all the animals they had a huge pig, donkeys, horses, goats, lambs and chickens that roamed freely all around. Kaleb wouldn’t pet anything but he liked looking and pointing at everything. They also had pony rides for $2.50 so Kaleb had his first horse ride he loved it. We plan on going back and look forward to it we also found a awesome water park for the kids and Kaleb is free which is awesome and it doesn’t have pools it is just a fun playground with water. So no worrying about Kaleb jumping in without me! We are excited about all the new things we are discovering or that the other wife’s are discovering. The summer is going to go by so fast with so much to do!

Tim is working very hard and is starting to get sales consecutively which is awesome! We are so proud and grateful to him for all that he is doing for us! We love him so much and look forward to Sundays when we get to spend the whole day with him!

Kaleb is doing great! He is getting taller and he has gitten 3 if his molers! He is trying so hard to talk he knows what a bear, duck,dog and a fish say! when it is time to go to bed I say It is night night time and he will say love you it is the cutest thing! He still doesn't say mom but he will say it eventually! He loves to just jabber I wish I knew what he was saying! He is expanding his dancing he doesn't just sway his hips now he puts his hands up and will sometimes spin around I am trying to get a video of it but he is a stink when I get the camera out! He loves to play with his his toy balls and he has to take one With him when he takes his nap and goes to bed for the night!It is crazy how much he is growing up and that he is 14 months it seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home! Some of the not so fun things he is learning to do is hit which we have to tell him to be gentle and then he will pat the spot he hit so hopefully this will pass, he also likes to throw fits when he doesn't get his way sometimes it goes to the extreme of him throwing himself on the ground although he usually only does this at home! We still love him and he is always doing something to make us laugh!

We Made It...

We made to to Cincinnati almost 2 Sundays ago it was a long drive that we sort of split up by spending a few days in Chicago it was good seeing Family and friends! We finished the last part of are drive and are glad to be here but not looking forward to the drive back! UGH! Kaleb did so good for the drive he slept for most of it I was truly grateful he did so good! We are enjoying our time here although we have had quit a bit of rain that has kept us in.
We have were able to go to this dog park with Helina and Bennett and Blue there dog it is just a fenced in area to let your dogs run and play with lots of other dogs! Kaleb was in 7Th heaven to say the least how could he not be with dogs and balls every where you turn! We have also been to the park a couple times with them as well Kaleb just likes to watch he is funny! Although yesterday since all the rain we had the day before there were lots of puddles in the grass so I tried at first to keep Kaleb away from them at first and then finally I just let him get in them he loved it and we ended taking of his pants since he was so wet! I haven't been very good about taking pictures but I will do better! We also don't have the Internet yet so we are working on that so hopefully our next post there will be lots of pictures to enjoy!
Just a quick funny thing that Kaleb did yesterday! Every morning Tim clears his throat of flem and spits well Kaleb watches him do this and yesterday after Kaleb's nap we were in the bathroom and Kaleb started making this sound and at first I was like what are you doing then I saw that after he did the sound he would lean towards the toilet like he was spitting. I just started laughing he was trying to spit like his Dad so cute! I love him so much I can't help but just smile at him everyday even when he is being a little devil!
Oh Yes Tim is working very hard and we are so very grateful to him for all he is doing for us Rain or shine!

Kaleb Walking!!!

Kaleb starting to really walk a few days before his 1st birthday! It has been fun having him walk all over the place. This video is from a little bit ago but I forgot to post it! I love his little walk! He is now trying to run hopefully that will take some time for him to learn that! Now that he can walk he is going through this Mr Inependent stage which I don't like he wants to do everything by himself somedays are worse than others. But I look forward to the end of this stage if it ever really ends! Enjoy the video I think there is a little bit of Kaleb dancing!

Cincinatti, Ohio Here we come...

So we are moving to Cincinnati, OH for the summer! Tim is going to sell security systems for Pinnacle. We leave next week and will be back the end of August in time for us both to start the fall semester. We are really excited for a little change of scenery for a few months. It is hard leaving everyone here in Utah especially with my two BF's pregnant and due in August. Kim is going to move into our place so we don't loose it and have to pack everything up. My cousin Vaughn is managing so I will be with family which is nice and I am way excited to explore this new place! I only worry about how Kaleb will handle the long drive! We will miss everyone but we will be back!

The city at night!!

This is where we will be living!

Can't wait to work on my Tan!

Trip to St.George...

This past weekend we took a trip to sunny St. George. We stayed with Grandma Allred and had lots of fun. We drove down Friday and stopped in Cedar City to drop off mom to help Sarah pack up and hold Alethia for the weekend. Of course we stayed long enough to hold Alethia who is getting so BIG! We then continued to St. George we didn't get in until 10pm but Kaleb loved all the wonderful things at great grandma's and how big of a space he had to explore! We finally got to bed around 11:30pm. The next morning we got up and had a wonderful breakfast and then Tim and his brother Phil went to Hurricane to sell and Kaleb, Grandma and I went for a walk in the beautiful weather! Grandma then took us downtown to Main street where they have water falls and gutters for the kids to play in. Kaleb was not so sure of the gutters but slowly warmed up to the idea. He loved climbing up onto the rocks he ended up getting soaked so we took off all his clothes (since we forgot to bring his swimsuit with us on the walk) which he loved being naked. After a nice nap Tim got back and we went down to the pool we weren't sure if Kaleb would like it since we took him back in January and he hadn't liked it. Well this time Daddy took him in and he had so much fun he didn't want to get out! We also played in grandma's backyard with the rocks and Caterpillars a little boys heaven! Kaleb loved finding all the caterpillars and the rocks he is all boy he would have been just fine doing that all day! We had a wonderful dinner with Dwight and Marlynn and then a very fun time playing Wizard! We were very sad to leave Sunday afternoon! But we had to come back to real life! Thanks so much Grandma for letting us stay with you and planning such a wonderful weekend!

Here is a collage of our wonderful sunny weekend!

Easter Weekend

Kaleb trying to get in the Temple!
Well we had a very wonderful and busy Easter weekend. It started off early Saturday morning driving up to Logan for our friend from Chi-town's wedding! WE took Kaleb with us so that Ryan and everyone could meet him. Ryan's little sister was kind enough to watch him during the wedding. It was lots of fun seeing Ryan (bubbles) get married and seeing all the other childhood friends of Tim's. We then went to the Luncheon at Maddox Ranch House about the time the salad's came Kaleb was done so Tim and I took turns walking around with him and as soon as we were done eating we said our good byes and headed back to Bountiful.

We then dyed eggs with Kim, Milo, Robyn, Robbie, and grandma Julie. Kaleb tried eating the eggs then in turn just made a huge mess with the egg and then dyed his hand blue so maybe next year he will be a little better! After we finished the eggs Tim hide them out in back for Kaleb and Milo to find. Kaleb really enjoyed this as did Milo!

Kaleb's Easter Basket!

Sunday we went to church with my mom and then we headed to My Aunt Michelle's house to have an Easter/Birthday party for Kaleb with my dad's side of the family. We had lots of YUMMY food and then Jayson and Brad (my cousin's boys) had hide eggs for Kaleb so, Kaleb got to enjoy his second Easter egg hunt he absolutely loved it and didn't like when Tim would take away the egg to put it in the basket but we would just lead him to the next egg! He also tried to collect the pine cones! Tim then opened Kaleb's birthday presents from everyone. He got some great stuff! Kaleb was so tried and finally crashed in Great grammy's lap for a little while! Kaleb had so much fun playing with the dogs, cats, Jay and Brad. We also played this super fun game called Pictionary Man! We highly recommend it! It was a wonderful day and weekend but I am glad it is over because it was very long!

Happy Family
