Crockett is taking matters into his own hands

2011-12-09T14:41:00.001-08:00

Crockett is taking matters into his own hands...who needs Santa when you have a devilish Elf like Crockett.

One of the blogs that I love and follow (BabyRabies) is having a fun contest with Elf on the Shelf. I had to participate...

Maybe next year she can sit up here

Park City

Spending Thanksgiving with the Novacks is a tradition and we are so happy that they came to see us in Utah this year for the holiday. We had fun catching up, eating/drinking a lot, going to the wine/tapas bar we like and we also made it to a piano bar too.

We also took Dan, Andrea and Callen to Park City for the day and we had fun walking around. No trip is complete to Park City without seeing the bear and Lucy the Moose.

Happy Birthday Little Man and Preszler's 6 months

2011-12-09T14:18:00.001-08:00

This is what you get when a 3 year hears dessert...just noticed his bib.

This was his first birthday celebration with us and Grandma

Second celebration with Nana, great grandma/grandpa, Uncle Duane and Aunt Melaina and Drew his best bud.

Toy Story theme party

Third and final celebration with Aunt Vickie, Aunt Karen, Uncle Phil, Dom, Ang, Alex, Issac, Val and Felicia

Thank you everyone for celebrating with us!

Enjoying his last dessert for a while!

No fun mom!

I can't believe that Preszler is 6 months old. The time has flown by and we love having her here. She is a very happy baby that loves her brother, food and sitting up like a big girl. She has eaten most baby foods, but loves yogurt and sweet potatoes the best. I love those cheeks!

Anniversary and Sledding

2011-12-09T12:38:00.001-08:00

We went up to Park City for a night for our 4th Anniversary and had a great time. The pictures of from a bed and breakfast we stayed at and some pictures we took on the way home. The next day we took Caleb sledding and he had a blast.

Halloween and random Purdue shots

2011-12-09T12:27:00.001-08:00

My favorite one! I will get you bear!

Call me crazy, but I wanted to make our Halloween costumes this year. I guess that I needed a release for my creativity and since I am not working I figure Halloween was it. So here we are as Toy Story characters. We have the aliens (dogs...not too happy about it), Woody, Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head and Jessie. I personally think that Jessie was the cutest one. :)

October

2011-12-09T12:12:00.001-08:00

Preszler had her first taste of sweet potatoes this month and loved them! She also turned 5 months old and she is such a happy baby. We are so lucky that she is so easy, especially with her big brother hitting the horrific 3's. She is trying to roll over and getting stuck on her cloth diapers.

It was my birthday and the boys made me a cake. Caleb loved putting the sprinkles on it. Eric also took me out to a wine/tapas bar and we has lots of fun.

Last but not least...we went on another hike and the scenery was beautiful with all the colors changing.

2011-12-09T11:22:00.001-08:00

Preszler tried her first food this month...rice cereal. She didn't like it at first, but it only took a couple of tries for her to realize how yummy it was.

Caleb and I also made play doh for the first time. It was super easy and we will be making it again in the future.

We went to the Utah fair and Caleb had a blast seeing animals, pretending to milk a cow and eating a giant ice cream cone.

Grandma and Grandpa come to visit

2011-12-09T11:06:00.001-08:00

Eric's parents came to visit us and we should them lots of what Utah has to offer. We went hiking, to Park City, Little Cottonwood Canyon, Farmer's Market, Oktoberfest at Snowbird and Kennecott Mine.

Foam Party

2011-12-09T10:33:00.001-08:00

We went to a foam party and Caleb really wasn't to sure about it. We later found out from Eric's Uncle that is a firefighter that the foam is highly toxic. Not our best day as a parent. :)

On the Road Again

2011-12-09T09:33:00.001-08:00

I thought our first road trip with just Eric and I was bad, but add two kids and two dogs now that was loooong! But we made it and we didn't lose anyone along the way.

It is hard to believe that Preszler was so little. She is huge now!

And then there were four...our Little Miss is born

2011-09-16T16:31:00.000-07:00

Preszler Marie
Born May 10th, 2011
6lb 14oz

My birth story...

Caleb and went to my doctor appt the morning of May 10th and I didn't think that the baby would be coming anytime soon. They checked my BP and it was really high. The nurse got my midwife and they were going to check me and then check my BP again after the appt. So the midwife said that no matter what they were going to induce me the following morning. OK...so she started to check me and was surprised to find out that I was a loose 6. She looked and me and said you are having this baby today. Really? Not really what I wanted to hear. I had Caleb with me and Eric was at work. She said to go get Caleb settled and meet Margie at the hospital. I got to the car and called Eric and told him to come home now. He said ok, he was on his way. We dropped Caleb off at Karen's (daycare lady) house and headed to the hospital to meet our newest member of the family. It was funny when we got there we walked over to the nurses station and the nurses were looking at us like what do you think you are doing here.Thankfully our midwife was also at the station. They took us to the last room on the floor and started to set us up, this was around 11 or so. They started the pitocin and we waited. I think that it was almost 1pm by this point. I was going to attempt no drugs again, but I only got to a 7 and needed drugs. The contractions were much more intense than the 8s were with Caleb. My BP was getting high again and the midwife told me that it was probably a good idea to get it. By the time it started to kick in, I was falling asleep and Eric was eating his lunch. All of a sudden Margie came storming into the room and said that she couldn't here the baby's heart beat so she need to check me. She went to look and said wow we are ready to start pushing. I pushed 3 times and our little miss was here. I think that both Eric and were in shock when we realized it was a she. I thought it was a boy and therefore Eric thought the same thing. We are so blessed to have a happy healthy baby girl and we look forward to watching her grow.

***Side note***

We had the same nurse and midwife that delivered Caleb, so that was pretty cool!

2011-09-14T14:44:00.000-07:00

We spent Thanksgiving in Indiana and Caleb got the opportunity to go to Aunt Megan's parents house to see their horses. He had a blast feeding the horses, riding them and walking them. We also squeezed in a Purdue football game while we were there.

Easter 2010

We had a little easter egg hunt for Caleb in the backyard and we put a M&M in a couple of eggs. He loved them and couldn't wait to open up all of his eggs. We were talking about how we can't wait for next year when he will really be into it. Later in the afternoon we went over to a friends house for brunch and everytime we go over there Caleb has to sit in that chair. He loves it and you can catch him lounging in it. :)

Cherry Blossoms

We had a blast checking out the Cherry Blossoms this year. Caleb enjoyed running around and grabbing the branches. The more we told him to stop...the more he did it. That's my boy!

Hiking

Caleb is hiking on Eric's back and he actually enjoyed it. And yes that is a binky in his mouth which he has dubbed "me". No idea where he got that from?? Kind of like how he calls milk "moo". Back to the bink...he is my child and if any of you remember me as a child...I have no energy left after a long day to fight with him over his me. :)

2010-04-23T18:31:00.001-07:00

Side...

Caleb's new thing...side momma side. He is truly Eric's son, he loves being outside. He hasn't quite gotten the "out" in front of "side" mastered, but we know what he means. He also throw one of the biggest fits possible when he has to come in. :)

Happy Birthday Little Man!!

eating some cake on his birthday

Yummy!

We can't believe that our little man is one. The year has flown by too quickly, but we have had so much fun watching grow. He went to the doctor on the 13th for his one year and weighed 23 lbs and 10oz. He is 30 inches long and had get his first round of medication because he has a little bit of fluid in his ears. He is finally feeling better.

He is walking all over the place and getting into everything. I will post the video in a later post. :)

Caleb got a new ride from Grandma Z. He loves it!! He really enjoys chasing the dogs around the island in the kitchen and he just laughs at them. ;) We have some video of it, but I am waiting for it to get downloaded.
