Laughing Quadruplets

Oh my gosh I love this video too. It makes me laugh SO hard!!!!

BabyBeyonce

I love love love this video!!! I first saw it a few years ago. It's hilarious. Enjoy!

Gotta love this smile!!!

This smile lights up my life. My dad asked "Have you ever seen someone smile so much with their eyes!?" I said, yes, his daddy! Blake has the best smile, and Caleb inherited it!!! Yay for the world, more sunshine smiles!!!

I love this time of life!

Well, everyone told me to, "watch out for when he starts moving around!" Well, so far it has been a blast! Caleb is so much fun!!! We are LOVING it! 

He laughs, smiles, crawls, pulls up to standing. He even learned how to wave the other day and I think it's probably the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. I am still trying to get it on video.

So, Caleb stands up in his crib sometimes, but I have read that I should not go in and help him back down, so I don't. Eventually, he ends up happily asleep somehow!

Even though he is crawling and scooting around, he still likes to be carried a lot. I love that, because i don't have to carry him all day long, but he will let me if I want to. He and I have fun running errands together. It makes me feel like a good mom when we grocery shop together and pick out fresh fruits and veggies.

Blake, me, my mom, and my dad did a relay triathlon this week, the Old Hickory Lake Tri, and we won again! My dad swam an awesome swim, my mom ran the first leg of the run, Blake biked, and I finished off the last leg of the run. It was awesome!

Why Blake Would Be Perfect for WIPEOUT!

Okay so Blake and I are addicted to the new show Wipeout. It is awesome. You must check it out. I love it. People go through the most rediculous obstacles, falling in the most hilarious ways, and are competing to win a money prize. Yeah, it's so funny. You have to watch 2 or 3 shows to get really into it, and then it's downright hilarious.

Anyway, I think Blake would be perfect for this show. He is so coordinated and fast and really fun to watch do things. He can flip on snow skis AND a wakeboard. He can do gymnastics without ever having taken lessons. He is also a pro triathlete at heart - he's working on becoming that in reality. So, I think he would be awesome for Wipeout. So, I am applying for him to be on the show.

I need your help and suggestions. There is one question that has stumped me. It is the one way I can get the judges' attention when they go through all the applicants to choose who gets to be on the show. Here is the question:

"WHY ARE YOU THE PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR THIS SHOW?"

So, why is BLAKE the perfect candidate for this show? Please help me. What should I say? I want to get their attention and be truthful. I can't wait, he's gonna be awesome!

Comfort and Mark - Hip Hop

I have to say that Mark was one of my favorites! yay Mark! But... I hope Katee wins. Go girl!

Top 5 Reasons Why Cozmo is the Perfect Dog for Our Family

5- He is such a great companion, to me specifically. And I hate to be alone, so it's perfect. Wherever I am, there Cozmo is. When I take a shower, I can bet that when I get out, he will be sitting on the rug right outside the shower. When I wake up in the morning, he's on his pillow on the floor right next to my side of the bed. When I go to feed Caleb in his room, he sits under my legs between the ottoman and the rocking chair.

4- He is so darn cuddly. He loves to lean against people, cozy up between your feet, curl into a ball in your lap, anything to be close and feel the warmth of a person.

3- He is very gentle around Caleb. We have had no real problems with him and Caleb being on the floor together!

2- He has the perfect amount of energy. He can be fun and playful a LOT of the time, but he also likes to sleep and chill out. That's a good thing because he gets a lot of chill time around here with how busy we are with Caleb and everything else! I think, though, that once Caleb realizes his true power of crawling, Cozmo's territory will be encroached upon very often and he wont get so much sleep time anymore!

1- Humor. This is one frickin funny dog. These pictures explain it all. It doesn't get much better than this. No sirree.

I Need Your Input

I have two questions for you all:

1- Is my picture slideshow working for you? If it looks like a black screen that says something like, Create Your Own Slideshow, click the play button on it. Now is it working?

2- I need decorating tips. Blake and I are closing on a house on Monday!!! Fun!!! It is an old ranch-style home, one story. We are very excited. But, we do not want to CLUTTER it up and we do not want to just THROW furniture/decorations in there. So, I am going to post a picture of our family room and kitchen first. Blake thinks we should do a "cabin" theme for the family room. The fireplace will be covered in a faux-stone layer so it wont be BRIGHT red anymore soon. The question is - where should I put things, and how should I decorate the walls and fireplace?

This picture is our family room. The entryway from the front door is the far right opening in the wall. The far left opening is to the bedrooms. They staged this room as a weird kitchen, but we are going to put a big rug down and make it the family room... if you aprove! When we move in, there will be no china cabinet on that far wall, and no paintings on the side wall.

Okay, this is a view of the family room from the entryway. Remember, there will be stone on the fireplace, no table, no plant, no nothin. I need your suggestions.

And this is a view from the far end of the kitchen into the family room. I am thinking of putting the kitchen table right here to the left.

And here is the kitchen. That ugly little table wont be there anymore, and the decoration above the sink is part of the backsplash.

Items to place: KITCHEN TABLE/4 CHAIRS, SOFA, LOVESEAT, 2 END TABLES, COFFEE TABLE, OLD BIG SCREEN TV (hand-me-down), AND WALL HANGINGS (options - large family picture, 2 large temple pictures, and a large collage of Jesus Christ). Also, I have a bunch of little willow statues. Okay, so where should I put it all, according to your opinion?
