Happy Birthday Caleb!!


Our littlest sweetheart just celebrated his second birthday on Feb 3rd. :) We lit the candles and HE sang, happy birthday to you, and blew out his candles with a big smile before we could even join him. He was super excited to celebrate his own birthday. :)

Only a 2 year old with a big brother is in love with Darth Vader and asks for a Star Wars party. He loves himself a costume. He now runs around the house as superman, darth vader, a storm trooper and buzz light year.


My sweet, sweet boy... you have added a ton of joy, humor and balance to our lives. Before you we were born we were 3 first borns that needed a second born to join our clan. I love that you don't always let us know what you are thinking... we have to pursue relationship with you to know your heart in all its fullness. I love that you are ok to be independent and do your own thing. I love that you keep me on my toes through all of your climbing and getting in to things. I love that you are so compassionate and sweet that you long for harmony in our home among all the family members and want to cuddle a lot. I adore your sweet stories, cute words, precious smile and love of life. God had a perfect plan in creating you and I am so blessed He has entrusted us to help raise and love you. You truly are our joy boy! Happy Happy Birthday!!!!

Show Low with Dutchy

The boys so enjoyed 3 straight days of playing with Uncle Dutch. Wrestling, running, tickling, playing legos and toys...they are cramming in a whole lot of fun in a short time. Thanks Uncle Dutch!
Caeden and I had a BLAST sledding down Grandma and Grandpa's golf course hill. My boy even got so brave that he would "snowboard" down, way better balance than his mama!! Thank you God for giving us time in the snow, it was a treat for us!
My precious monkey bundled up.... it was his first visit in the snow. Cute as a button!
Yeah family!! We had a wonderful time like we always do, but such a blessing to have Uncle Dutch join us since it had been 2 years with him in Show Low. Thanks Mom and Dad!!
