Apple Pies...Black Eyes...Halloween...Birthday...

Okay...I SHOULD be grading papers right now but i decided that I probably need to update the blog. So here it goes...it has been a busy past couple of weeks! Let's start from the beginning!! Adam decided to try his luck on pie making!! He started with apple and boy oh boy have they been DELICIOUS!! We just can't get enough! I had to include pics just because he gets a little more creative each week! Adam's Doctoral Thesis is due the day before Thanksgiving so this helps a bit with the stress!!


First attempt...GOOD!


Second attempt...BETTER!


A delicious side view!!


Third attempt...BEST!!! I think Adam has a new talent!!!


Taking more after his mom lately, Caleb bruised his face AGAIN...it seems that he was walking in front of a little boy on a swing at the babysitter's house wasn't looking where he was going and got kicked in the face! I am trying to remember how many times I either fell on my face OR got hit in the face with a tetherball...if Caleb is anything like me, there will be a lot more bruises and scrapes (good thing he doesn't wear glasses...yet)!!




Pre Halloween...as we were trying to figure out what Caleb should be for Halloween, we pulled the Thomas costume out and that's what Caleb wore for a while...we are still working on the looking at the camera thing!







Fast Forward to Halloween...GMA and GPA D came down for a visit! We had a lot of fun having them here as always. Caleb really wanted to be a Yellow Angry Bird for Halloween...we tried looking for a costume for him online, but everywhere was sold out and what wasn't was SUPER expensive!! So, I had Caleb give his Grandma a call and ask her if she would make a costume for him...SUCCESS!! The costume turned out SO CUTE!!!!! Caleb was so excited and put it on for the rest of the night when GMA got here! On top of that, GMA brought Caleb his own Yellow Angry Bird toy AND spoiled him more than they should have!!!
We were all set to do Trunk or Treat on the Saturday before, but Caleb woke up from his nap with a fever!! He head no desire to put his costume on and go (I think i was more depressed about not going than anyone else!) So we decided to have him come to my class on Monday and bring some cookies (thanks again GMA) for my kiddos! I guess again, Caleb took after his momma because my mom brought him in telling me how incredibly stubborn my boy is! She had to bribe him to even put his costume on!!! He got a little overwhelmed with the fast paced school life and was a little whiney so he came and sat with me while the class was getting ready to go home! He told me he wanted his milk and wanted to lay down (which he always does when he drinks his milk...i know, right?!?) plopped right down on the floor in the middle of my class/classroom and drank his milk!!! I was dying!!!!! My class thought that Caleb coming in and homemade cookies were the BEST!! Thanks again mom for putting up with mini me (more in personality than looks!) We get better with age!!!






Ummm this just doesn't do the costume justice!! I will get Caleb in it and see if we can get cuter pics soon!!!


GMA also carved an angry bird pumpkin too...my goodness Caleb has his new thing to be OCD about!




Because GPA has to wear a hat, Caleb likes to take and wear the ones he brings! GPA gave Caleb his BYU hat to have...ummmm...this is a fitted hat...is it weird that my dad and Caleb have the same head size??




Happy 31st ADAM!!! Caleb helped Ad blow out his birthday candles on his birthday cobbler this year! I think Adam was expecting cupcakes!!


What can I say about this guy?? Smart, Handsome, Funny, Great Father/Husband, Hardworker, my BESTIE!!! Adam has had a lot on his plate these past few years being in Grad school and it will finally be done here in the next couple of weeks! I am so proud of all that Ad has accomplished and all that he will accomplish after all of this is done! Caleb and I love him SO MUCH! I truly hope his birthday wishes come true this year!! Love ya babe!!


Gotta LOVE birthday cobbler folks!!!


A quick jammie pic with GMA and GPA...Caleb LOVED having people over for a few days! My Uncle Dan and my cousin Chas were also here for a day...Caleb absolutely LOVED Chas! He wanted to know what "the guys" were always doing...he also kept climbing on Chas and would ask him for little smooches! I don't think Chas knew what to do about that one!!! SO FUNNY!!


AWWW this was a good one! We also had the yellow angry bird! Caleb's Christmas List keeps getting longer now that he loves Angry Birds!!!!


I found Caleb a cute little backpack at a peddler show I went to with my mom...He loves it and asks to wear it when we go out!
This will make a great preschool bag, and it already looks like he's ready to go! TEAR!!!


He kind of looks like the monkey on his shirt!

Okay friends and family...two hours later and I'm done! Maybe I should post more often!!!! ENJOY!!!
