Caleb's Blessing

On March 27 2011 Caleb was given and name and blessing in church by his dad. It was a beautiful blessing and a perfect day with family and friends. Thanks to everyone who came and made the day so special!

Thanks to grandma haynie for getting Caleb his blessing outfit, it is perfect!

Great Grandma Nona

Madi loves going to visit Great-Grandma Nona and this time Caleb got to meet her for the first time. We are glad that she moved to Colorado awhile back so that we can see her more often.

Grumpy madi face :(

Grandma absolutely loves the little great grandkids, she has so much fun singing and playing with them.

We had the honor of having my grandpa (or grandpa grandpa to the kids) come visit for 3 weeks. We had so much fun and Madi loves her double papa (that is what she calls him)

We were so happy you came to visit and hope to see you again soon!

Watching the BYU practice game at the pepsi center for March Madness

My Grandpa is a HUGE byu basketball fan so we were lucky enough to be able to go see them practice at the pepsi center before they started the tournment. It was a lot of fun for Madi to see her first basketball game and it was great to learn more about the players from my Grandpa. Him and Joe had a lot of fun watching the tournment games
Feeding the ducks!

Madi then convienced double papa to play at the park

I swear Caleb was here at all these events and I know I have pics of him and grandpa to but I just don't know where they got saved... I'll find them soon.

Caleb 1 Month old

I know this post is late but at 1 month Caleb wasn't doing to much besides sleeping and eating. Madi loves to help feed him and loves to play with her brother. We also did a lot of fun things with visitors but I'll have more posts about that later.

To continue the tradition here is Caleb at 1 month with the cow. (Madi is 2 and 3months, she had to be in the pic to) I would put but a comparison pic of madi at this age but for some reason all my pics of her from 1-4 months are gone on my harddrive so you can just look back to a previous post.
He loves to have his hands in the air

Aunt Crystal and Uncle Scott made a special visit

With Cousin Will

His first cast. Caleb was born with a inverted left foot, They think it is part genetics (Madi and I are also very peigon toed) and part that he just had his foot stuck for 9 months because he was so big. So to fix it they casted his foot up to his thigh for 3 weeks. It pretty much made him completely miserable but it did help and now we just have little shoes for the next 6 weeks to keep it straight.

The poor guy in his light bed for jaundice. he absolutely hated it and we only

made him stay there for 10 hours

This was a much better solution, it worked like a charm!

Big boy! After we got him eating from a bottle the kid gained weight like crazy and was up to 11 lbs by month 1!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

The little cow! Our good friends at Chick-fil-a presented us with a welcome to the world Caleb party for all our friends and family. We can't thank them enough we had such a fun time!

Singing, Parks, and sibling love!

Madi has adjusted well to having a new brother, she loves to play with him and be by him all the time.

All ready for a car trip

I did a whole post about this stroller when I first got it but I'm goning to say it again, I LOVE IT!!! It has been great with both the kiddos

Poor Madi had been cooped up since Caleb was born and all she wanted to do is run, run and run some more!

First trip to the park, stroller ride, and really the first time out

Singing and dancing have become Madi's favorite for some time, ususally she won't do it for the camera lately so I have to catch her on a good day!

January/February recap in pics!

Here is a little photo recap of what happened in the life of Madi (in no particular order) before things got crazy with the addition of Caleb!

Mommy's little princess helping to clean the house before the baby comes. This is her favorite shirt "I'm mommys little princess", unfortunently it is now to small and I have to find another one before she realizes its gone.

A trip to the zoo! We made one last trip to the zoo with just mommy and madi with our friends the Millers. Madi made herself a peanut butter sandwhich cake with pretzel candles!

Playin with daddy

I have wonderful friends who threw me and Caleb a baby shower! We had a great time and got some super cute little boy cloths, now joe doesn't have to worry about him being dressed in pink.

2 Years old!

I can't believe how quickly the time goes. We didn't get a chance to get her 2 year pics taken so I decided to try to take some myself. She picked the cowgirl and pony theme and I think they turned out pretty well.

When we got the new tv for christmas the old one moved to our room. I didn't know if I would like a tv in the bedroom but Madi loves to watch tv on the bed. She has even given it the name of 'bed show'

Practicing for 'mutin bustin' She'll be a pro by the time shes 5

I decided to give gymnactics a try with Madi and was sp happy to find a program that teaches 2 year olds. To say that Madi loved it would be quite an understatement. It is something that she looks forward to weekly and she really is improving her strength, listening and social skills. We have so much fun.
