Our Birthday Boy!

The highlight reel:

The night before...


Good morning surprise





My FAVORITE birthday photo

Family phone calls

The outdoors test drive
Cake time! (It's the man with the yellow hat's hat...
miniaturized since there are only three of us.)

Painting

Caleb's favorite pass-time happens to be a very convenient thing if you're too sick to stand. And boy did he have one creative week!

At first we just did regular finger...and body...painting.


Next, the homemade trumpet!


And then we decorated his birthday wrapping paper!


It's hard dealing with these puppy dog eyes when it's time to clean up.

Travelling

We were only able to attend two of the basketball games this season. But, we made it to that last home game! Even though we arrived an hour before the game started, the only available student seating left were a few benches directly behind the camera crew. Todd and I could only see if we stood on our bleacher. And Caleb, well, that wasn't good enough for him I guess. Let's just say that this wouldn't have happened if we weren't at BYU, 'cause I have no idea who these people are!

It all started with Caleb tugging on the jeans of a young man sitting next to us. After that, someone else was holding Caleb or sharing a cool new toy with him each time I looked! Being the paranoid mother that I am, I ended up spending more time supervising Caleb's escapade than watching the game. But at least we won! Right?

And Caleb came home with us...which personally, I think is the more important fact.
