Had a great Thanksgiving with my cousin.

We even went bowling!!!

Yep, told ya he was growing!  =)

 Cooking class as church!  

 Probably last time I can take my little boy to ladies events 

and get away with it!

But it sure was fun!

 5th birthday last month!!!  Started morning with our special red dishes from Grandma!

McDonald's Birthday lunch while on a hike....seriously, doesn't get much better for a 5 year old boy!

 The views here never get old!

We love October!

 On the 9th day with no water....

(3 of them when my mom was visiting!)

 been a little boys paradise!  

 This kid has actually been helpful!  

Has worked so hard!  Will tomorrow be the day....??????

 Oh my boys!  =)

 Dangerous beach!

 Did you know our son is a kick boxer?   

 Yah!  Jumping for joy cuz we all know how much dad loves the beach!  Ha!

Showing muscles or acting like monkeys?  I'll let you decide! 

 We love our family trip to the dunes!  So amazing as you come to the end of this trail and it opens to the vastness of SAND.  EVERYWHERE!!!!!

 Those little legs hung in there!

Learning how to "bound"...liked it so much that we had to keep looking for more dunes to climb, 

or re-climb! 

 How cute are these two guys!?

 First official introduction to pac-man.  

And I think both of these guys could have stayed there all night!

 Grandpa Dick spoiling his grandbabies!

What beats blue ice cream???

 Can we say "excited"?  

 The boy chose a black ball....so funny!

Stayed focused and had a blast!

 In the mornings, high tide gave us only a little area to play

 But afternoons we played in those HUGE waves!

 Thankful for the nice pool and BIG news.....deep end BY HIMSELF!  

Whew, thank you to all of those who he clung to all summer long...

it paid off!  =)

Yah, they look all innocent!  =)

 My office participated in a color run!  

 Caleb was not too excited about the paint, so him and dad ran along the road beside us.  

Sorry it's blurry, I had my phone in a plastic baggy!

 My bosses wife and one of my closest friends....we talked non stop, it was so fun!

 Everyone else's shirts looked so cool, but I got nailed with the red!!!

PS, I recommend sunglasses and scarf for over mouth.  =)

 Ok, how awesome that our church care group had an outing to preseason football practice!!!

 And my sweet husband let me go by myself!  Odd, I know, but being the main football fan of the family, he knew I would appreciate it more alone.  One of my friends asked, "Why are you such a football fan?"  

 Sunday afternoons growing up, we had 2 options....go to our room and be quiet, or watch whatever sporting event was on TV with dad and be quiet.  =)  And since back in the day it was a big deal to watch TV, the choice was obvious.  Good times.  Now I like it because it brings back good memories of time with dad.

And yes, #9 is Drew Brees.  

After watching dad make signs on how to get to our garage sale, Caleb made his own.  

I love how their minds work!  

Fun trying "obstacles" during our church picnic at Alpine!

 Just feel I need to take these pics!  =)

Protective helmet, yes even writing is extreme in our house!

 Yep, making bread!  A sweet friend gave me all the ingredients for my birthday...was a neat gift! Was really fun together and little guy is a really good kneader!  And it was good, evident of the fact that he ate his whole little loaf with dinner!  

Had some amazing friends surprise me with ICE CREAM CAKE for my birthday!  I cannot even begin to tell you how blessed I am with all these girls!  It was a super day being spoiled by family and friends!
