Jacob was a little duckling!
Caleb loved helping me with the writing! Isn't it beautiful!
This is the pumpkin Jared carved.
One of the things that I really liked about living in Rexburg and here in Provo is having family near by! Amy's birthday was on Monday and we got to celebrate with her for her 20th birthday!
Caleb loves having Amy over. I think he talks to her non-stop! One of his favorite things was singing to her!
Caleb and Jacob like to feed the ducks!
and the ducks like being fed!
Can you find Jacob?
There are even some baby ducks!
We also saw turtles!
"Let's chase the ducks, Jacob"
"Uh oh! Jacob fall down!"
And slowly, one by one...
...the ducks started coming back.
"Hi duckies!!"
"Ya! I see it!""
That's a bit too close for Jacob 
Caleb stayed with him for most of the time we were there. Caleb's a good big brother to his almost bigger , little brother!!
Jacob: "Look at that one Caleb!"
"On second thought, maybe not."
"Hi, everyone and thanks for joining me for today's episode of Bath Time Adventures!"
"...or sweet and innocent works too (so mommy doesn't suspect anything!)"
now let's see...
"Oh yes, Daddy likes to put this all over his face! Looks like fun!"
"Op, sorry guys! Guess that adventure was cut short. Time to do my hair!"
"That's it for today's show! Tune in next week for fun at the duck pond!" 
Jacob: "Wow, I think Caleb just aged 2 years!"
Jacob:"Ya, look at me in my badself!"
Jacob: "Wow! Would you look at that cute baby in that mirror!"
Caleb: "Bubbles in my hair, Mom!"
Caleb: "More more" 
Caleb: "Bubbles for Jacob"
Caleb: "Scrub scrub scrub... hey! doin' Jacob?"
Caleb: "Hey Jacob! that's my weener!"
Caleb: " Oh, now i've got water in my eyes!"
Jacob: "Huh huh huh, sorry Caleb"
Jacob: " Hey Caleb.... I think I've got one too!!"
This next picture Jared said looks like it hurts cause you can see the stretch marks form the previous two. 
"Hello, my name is Jacob and I will be your tour guide today! this is the front door. Won't you come in."
"Here is the stair case and the piano.
"to the left of the stairs is the hall leading to the kitchen and back door.
"Back to the hall way, we'll look at the 1/2 bath, the coat closet and the "under the stairs closet".
"Behind door number 1 on the right hand side is our coat closet. Moving on...
"Behind door number 2 on the right hand side, the wonderfully large, 'under-the-stairs' closet. If it doesn't have a spot it goes in here.
"Closing that door we find ourselves back in the hall way and entering the kitchen. Straight ahead is the back door...
"...and to the right is the dinning area. Sorry folks, this tour just made me so hungry I thought I'd stop for a bite to eat! My favorite place in the house. 
"Alright, moving on to the left of the back door we see the counter space and the sink.
"Leaving the kitchen, we'll take a tour of the upstairs.
"Ah, at the top of the stairs we come to another hall way. 
"The first door on the right reviels the spare-room/ computer room/ sewing room/ quest room/ new baby room.
and turning again 45 degrees to the right you see a closet. Now if you'll exit the room you find yourself once again...
...in the hall way. And behind door number two...
Here's my bed, with a teddy bear quilt that my mom made, and the teddy bears are actually soft teddy bears! And the beautiful changing table that someone gave to us. I like to lay on top!
"And my closet that Caleb likes to hide in and I find him!
"My mother is just loving all this closet space, so let me show you the linen closet that is also the closet for goods to take care of you when you have an owie or your tummy hurts. It's a good closet.
"and the towels, sheets, and games.
"Moving on from the linen closet, we find a door on the right.
This is the actual bathroom, fully equipted with all that you need in a bathroom and the space to walk around!!!
"Here's where mom keeps some cool stuff, like the mousse so she can do my hair on sunday, the tooth-brushes (really fun to use), and the toothpaste that Caleb loves to eat! he let me try some once; rather tastey, but mom has since hidden it from us!
"lets just take one more look.....!
"O.K. moving on! One of moms favorite things is this door right here leading into her bedroom. It also makes a nice circle that Caleb and I run around all the time. Sometimes I get knocked in the head but I get over it!
"Entering Mom's room,
(trying to show the large amount of space left over at the foot of the bed, not really working so moving on!)
"The other thing that get's mom going about this place is that the closet is so spacious, compared to the last one. Plenty of space to hang his and her's clothes, plus the sapcious depth at the bottom allowing a dresser or stackable things. You have to actually step inside the closet to reach the clothes; yet another great hiding place. 
"Does it look bad?"
"Dude, it feels huge!" 
So while I was on the computer, Caleb and Jacob were wrestling on the floor next to me, both having a great time. Then they started running up and down the hall way, laughing and enjoying having a playmate. then I hear a loud thud and I just think to myself, "Oh no!", then the crying starts from Jacob and Caleb tells me, "uh oh! mommy, Jacob" and looking a little guilty, but with jacob being wabbly on his feet still I couldn't pin the act on Caleb. So I pick up Jacob and turn him around to see the damage done and heard myself say, "Oh my Gosh!!" The volume at which those words came out of my mouth, made me stop and look around, and then try to comfort the kids, at the thought that I might have scared them further with the sound of my voice.
Off and on we've been introducing Caleb to potty training but nothing serious. Then one day Caleb was such a big boy and used the toilet all day! We even went to the store and had zero accidents. However, it was very short lived, at 7:00pm we were out side playing and I guess he didn't want to take a break for the potty and...i'm sure you can guess the rest. Caleb had to be a big boy and clean out his underwear as well. So know when I ask Caleb if he wants to wear his underwear instead of a diaper he tells me," No peepy and no poopoo" (in his underwear that is, cause that's exactly what Mommy told him), so he opts out for the diaper. I guess he realized the diapers are the better way to go... for him anyways!! 
These nice smiles Caleb's giving me are thanks to an "Elmo's World" on cameras off of Sesame Street. Elmo wanted to learn all about cameras and after the show Caleb was going around the house telling us to smile and say, "cheese", after which he would make the clicking sound of the camera taking our picture. So I decided to try it on him, and was very pleased with the results!!

Look at our future graduates!!.JPG)
Here is Alissa and Jacob!
My family traveled to Idaho for our Graduation. Amie, Zack and Molly also came.
Here's everyone sitting in the Hart Auditorium for graduation. (Amber was there too but she's taking the picture!)
Caleb waving "Hi!"
Jump!
All the happy boys together.
And the happy birthday boy!
He saw the frosting and took a little taste.
(scoops it up on his finger)
Yum, tastes good.
Jacob wasn't too excited about blowing out his candle...
...so we had caleb blow it out instead!
"Hey, This is pretty good!"
Caleb liked the frosting. 
Caleb actually ate a little bit of his cupcake! And it looks like he's enjoying it very much.
Jacob being a ham!
"Peek-a-boo!"
Caleb had to play too!
Caleb, and Jacob as well, love to wear Daddy's hats.
" Hey! Did you just take my picture?"
Jacob's hair is getting really curly! When his hair is dry the curls are tighter. 
"Wait, let me fix my glasses."
"There, that's better."
Caleb: "Here baby take the beenkie"
"Maybe I can just ram it in there."
Then we unhitched the bike trailer and used it as a stroller so we could go on a little hike!
He also loves to clap his hands!
Peek-a-boo!
Even Jared had a good time at the park digging in the dirt. 
Jared even dug up a worm.
Caleb didn't like it too much, at least he tried to keep his distance from the worm.
But Jared liked the worm! 
I think caleb liked the slide better then Jacob did!
Caleb testing out his skills!
I can't remember how much she weighed, otherwise I would put it up, but I just though these were the cutest pictures!
After church, we all gathered in the back to take family pictures!
Here's Audre, 5 days away from delivery! Audre had her baby girl on April 18th, (pictures are soon to come). From left to right there's Jasmine (2), Alijah (5), Audre, Grandad holding Jacob (10 months), and me.
This is my grandpa, Grandpa Glenn. So all these litte babies are some of his Great-grandbabies! Left to right: Jasmine (almost 3), Molly (10 months) Grandpa Glenn, Caleb (2), and Jacob (10 months).
I think Caleb's favorite thing in Cali., aside from Uncle Lijy, was riding this lawnmower!! There was also a little kiddy jeep that he loved riding but I didn't get a picture of that.
Caleb was really good at hunting for the easter eggs!
Caleb got lot's of eggs! The basket that I am holding is Jacob's basket.
This is Caleb's little friend Lea.
They both blewout the candles so Caleb wanted to do it again. And just a side note, No he did not lite the candle himself. The lighter Caleb is holding does not work anymore, plus it also has a safety feature that I can barely get to work myself.
The funniest thing about these two is that they Kiss!!! I tried to take a picture of it but my camera took too long and they were done kissing by the time I got the camera to take! 
A coat for Jared that matched a brown corderoy jacket of mine, (o.k. so it's not really warm but he liked it)
and a nice snow suit for Caleb!! ( he already had the snow boats to go with the suit).
He wasn't too excited about trying it on, but he really enjoyed sledding in it. Caleb actually prefers to just be pulled around in the sled rather then really sledding down a hill.
I just thought this one was funny. Jared and Caleb drinking their juice ba-ba's and eating pop-corn! (I think there was a movie playing as well.
Dad and Caleb like eggs for breakfast, so Dad was nice enough to let Caleb help him cook them!
"Smile for the Camera!"
Yum!!
O.k. They weren't really that bad!!
He first got really close to the edge...
then hung his head over the edge and put his hands down...
then let his legs fall over too!
He did some better somersaults but I didn't catch them on the camera. He does them all the time now!
Ohh, Caleb is posing so nicely for the picture! ...
But Jacob's o.k!; he's a tough kid.
He went around and around; going up the stairs and down the slide for probably a good 30 min.
Daddy with his two boys! Jacob went pee right through his clothes onto my pants and even had enough left over to make a little puddle on the sidewalk. So that is why he's not wearing pants in this pictures. Thank goodness the weather was 80 degrees outside!
Aunt Sarah took lots of good pictures.
Here is the view off of the balcany! Down below is a pool with a water slide (really fun although I got water up my nose!) and off the the left below is a putt-putt golf course, which I was not very good at!
Caleb loved to sit out on the balcony!
my little dare-devil!
Off to the left is the other section that I forgot to take pictures of! There is a closet with a washer and drier in it, a bathroom and another bedroom with two more beds in it.
Here is the dinning room off to the right of the entry way.
Here is one angle of the living room that has a balcany off of it!
Caleb slept through most of his Christmas!
Claire was so cute! We got some good giggles out of her while she played with the boys. Unfortunately I didn't catch any of the other moments on camera!
Caleb finally woke up near the end of opening presents to answer the phone! that's a toy cell phone he has. Actually, it's Jacob's toy but I don't think he'll be getting it for quite a while. Thank goodness Jacob is too young to know any different!
Jacob loved this xylophone! Luckily we managed to fit it in our luggage!
At least one of my boys smiles for the camera!
Caleb loves to snuggle up next to Jacob!
Caleb was laying so cute nex to Jacob but whenever he saw the camer he jumped up to look at the pictures!
I finally got them laying next to each other but neither of them were smiling!
Here's the tongue thing again..
Caleb the handy-fix-it boy! Well, I should've expected that with a handy Dad and two handy Grandpa's!
Caleb, with his play mates Alijah and Jasmine.
If you'll notice in some other pictures in the next post, Caleb and Lijy kept holding hands while we were taking pictures.
Here's all of Mark and Lisa's children, grandchildren and Nana!
From left to right: Nana, Audre holding Jasmine, Joe, Aaron hlding Jacob, Jared, Ashley, Alissa, Dad (Mark), Mom (Lisa) holding Caleb, Alijah, Andy, Amber, Zack and Amie holding Molly!
Here's Nana with all her grandchildren and great-grand babies, from my Dad.
Sisters!
Left to right (back): Audre', Ashley, Amber, Amie and Alissa in front!
Happy Boy!
Sometimes Caleb wants to take pictures with Mommy!
"My Precious!" .........
....And sometimes he doesn't...
Caleb wanted Jacob to sit next to him on the chair so I started taking pictures and they all turned out to be pretty funny.
Clapping!
Jacob: "You've got something in your ear, Caleb. Let me get it for you."
For some reason Caleb wanted to hold Jacob and lay down at the same time. (?) Luckily, jacob didn't mind it too much.
"Huh?"
Smile! 
I found all of my recipe cards all over the floor and Caleb no where in sight.
"OOH, a whole loaf of banana nut bread all to myself!"
"Mmmmmmm, so good!"
"Don't mind if I do!"
Caleb also loves his little brother! Caleb likes to lay next to, and sometimes on Jacob. But jacob doesn't mind he just laughs right along with Caleb. (They're already wrestling!!)
They're both very ticklish as well!! 
Jared cut his hair really short a while ago and it's just now getting back to the point where he can kinda part it down the side like he used to. Personally, I think he looks better with it sweeped over to the side a little.
Jacob loves his bath time! He always smiles and giggles as I let the water run down his neck and chest!
Caleb is a joy too!! He can always make me smile!!
We had lots of fun, and the boys really liked it too. We went to a fast-food joint just a little ways from our house and got an ice-cream, but the boys were already alseep by the time we got there.
Ohhhh! How cute!
Caleb's favorite, and I mean favorite thing to do is cook! He loves to play with my pots and pans. Sometimes he wants to really cook and put his pan on the stove just like mommy does. And he'll stir...
and then add a little salt..
This is Molly. She was born 1 week after Jacob.
Molly and Jacob are cousin.
Cutie's!
What a Ham!
Jacob and Caleb watching T.V
Jacob at 2 months old. He weighed 14.8 lbs and was 26 in. long. However at another check-up we just had for Jacob they said he was only 24 1/2 in. long. Anyways he's in 3-6 months clothes now. He's pretty much fat and happy! We have him giggling now when we tickle him! Fun times!!!
Caleb likes to lay next to Caleb and have me take their picture! He loves his little brother!
Amber and Caleb in a nest.
We saw lions and ...
(Smile Caleb!)
Here, again are all the cousins and 2nd cousins that were at the zoo. Starting from left to right we have, Casy (2 yrs), Bailey (8 months), Caleb (16 months), Jacob (2 months), and Jasmine (23 months)!
Caleb didn't like being so close to those monkeys. I don't think he knew there was glass there!
We saw some Pink Flamingo's and ..
Caleb loves to hold Jacob, or sit by him, or lay by him. Caleb especially loves to give him kisses!
In these pictures Caleb is 15 months old and Jacob is 1 month old. 
Jared does the maintenance for the grounds where we live and Caleb loves to watch him.
Jacob and Caleb. (Caleb is pointing to Daddy on the lawnmower cause he wants another ride!)
Mostly we just watch Jared from the window!
Born: June 5, 2008 
Caleb doesn't look too pleased in this picture but he is fascinated with his little brother. Mostly with the eyes, ears, and hair. Surpisingly enough Caleb is rather gentle for a 14 month old.
Bath time wasn't too fun but Jacob only whimpered for a second.
"Smile!" 
There's that cute little smile! Sorry the picture is soo fuzzy! 
Mommy with her two little boys! Actually there are three, but the third one isn't so little!!! 
These Pictures are of Caleb when he was 12 months old. His hair looks red in these pictures but it wasn't really, just brown. However, it's getting blonde now from all the sunshine!
Caleb loves to help Mommy on the computer.
Yes, there is a whole in his pants but this was where I first noticed it!!
Caleb was sitting there on the floor hugging his teddy bear and of course when we tried to take a picture he stops! Actually, Caleb thought we were telling him to fold his arms for prayer. So it still turned out as a cute picture!
He finally did hug his teddy bear for us too!
Here's the test of the day. Can you see the baby's face? You should be able to see one eye, the tip of his nose, and his lips. Hint: the features resemble that of an African-American! It must have Jared's lips !!
Caleb got three packages a couple of days before his birthday from all of his grandparents (and Great grandparents in this case). I was very interested to see what was inside them. But we only opened one though since it was quite his birthday yet. This is a hand-made card from my Nana. 
He examined the pictures for a while and then...
We had just bought some of our easter eggs and I put some marshmallows in them for Caleb. He loved it! ...except for when he found an empty egg with nothing in it!He wasn't too happy about that.
"Oh this is good!"
This is Caleb first time feeding himself Spaghetti!
I think he rather enjoyed it! That is feeding himself and the taste of the spaghetti!
"Hey, where's my plate?"
"Ummm, I wasn't done. You wanna give me my food back?! "
These pictures were taken by one of Caleb's babysitters, I can't take the credit for these pic's this time!
"Whoo!, It's hard work riding this horse!"
Silly Kid!
I don't know where he got this obsession with his tongue. There are more pictures and Calebhas his tongue out in all of then! Good thing it's cute!
"Wow! This stuff makes me feel kinda woozy!" 
"Ta Da!!"
"Did you like my acting?
"I was just kidding about the woozy part, Mom"
Caleb loves to play with my cooking utensils; i.e. measuring cups, spoons, pots and their lids, etc. He especially loves the magnets on our fridge (that blue thing in his lap is a magnet). 
He also loves fruit! Apples, oranges, banana's, etc. But of course he is never satisfied with the little bit we put in his mouth for him to bite off. He has to stuff as much in his mouth as possible! 
These are just some random pictures of Caleb. Just to show how much his growing and getting bigger/older. 
In February, Jared took Caleb and I sledding! 
When we got to the hill we saw college kids flying down the hill, going over jumps and some even falling off thier sleds or inner-toobs, whatever they were using. At the sight of that, I decided Caleb and myself would not being going down.
However, I did slide down the little bunny hill that had no jumps. I wasn't too excited about braking my water bag by going over jumps. Caleb went down with Mom and Dad too!
Caleb didn't smile at all the whole time we were there; but he didn't cry or show any sign of dissatisfaction either. So I'm not sure if he enjoyed his first time sledding.
Just look at that face! He must have been enjoying himself! 
"Can't touch this!"
I was so excited to see some curls in his hair that I just had to take a picture!
However, he kept trying to turn and smile for the camera! My camera flashes twice before it takes a picture. So everytime he saw the first flash coming from behind he would turn around.
I put Caleb in the sink with nothing on but a diaper when I cut his hair. It makes for easy clean-up.
I have a house full of handy-men. Caleb trys to help out all the time! 
For the most part Caleb liked the wrappings and the boxes.
Caleb had a fun time crawling through and on every ones trash!
Auntie Ber and Jasmine
Here's Audre, Amber and Jasmine opening presents!
I think we are a little spoiled. We open our christmas presents at my parents house and then right afterwards we run to Nana's house, which is only about 20 steps away from my parents back door, and open the presents from her!
Every Christmas my family acts-out the nativity story. This year Caleb got to be baby Jesus, and sitting next to him is the prego. Mary, played by Alissa. (She fogot to take out the stuffing after she had the baby Jesus!) 
We wanted to get a picture of Caleb and Jasmine together in their sunday outfits from Nana but...
Caleb stopped hounding Alijah for bites once we gave Caleb his own treat.
Then Caleb was willing to participate!
Jasmine wanted a bite too!
However, all she found was an empty wrapper. 
Here's Jasmine and Caleb in their matching jamies from Nana. Caleb had a little trouble staying focused on the camera! So many people and things to look at! 
It looks like Jasmine was getting tired of Caleb not smiling for the camera! hehehe!
Auntie Alissa and Caleb possing once again for a picture! 
Uncle Lijy (Alijah) and Caleb wearing matching hats!
Auntie Amie with Jasmine and Caleb
He's a little Who baby! 
I was sitting on in our living room just looking at some pictures on our camera when Caleb crawled over to me to see the pictures too. He likes the pictures of him, and he smiles and coo's at the baby in the picture. So he was in between my legs acting all cute for the camera so I started taking pictures! 
"OOOO, nice bike! Can I ride it Mommy?"
It may be pink and purple but Caleb sure liked that bike. Unfortunately, so did the little girl who owned it. She wasn't too fond of Caleb riding her bike. Once Caleb got off she took her bike away.
This is a C, C opperation; Caleb and Claire. Caleb really liked his new little cousin. At first he thought she was a little boring, but he grew to like her, especially when she would wiggle around and make sounds. In these pictures Caleb is one week shy of being 8 months old and Claire is 2 weeks old. (Although, by the time we left she was 3 weeks old.)
Caleb had a fun time with his Aunties. This was his first
Caleb has many new things, but this little face is the latest! He squints his eyes tight and shows his little tooth that he's seems to be very proud of!
Caleb has become quite the little goof-ball! He's growing up so fast. Just the other night Jared and I were watching him and thinking, "Who is this little guy?" He is developing quite a cute personality!
