Under Water Pictures

Haven't had Caleb's pictures taken underwater in a while.  I thought I'd get in there with him this time around.  It was fun, but way more difficult than it looks.  It was so cute, before getting in I told Caleb that I needed to practice going underwater without blowing all my air out so the bubbles wouldn't get in the way for the picture.  So he had me practicing beforehand.  It still ended up that he was more photogenic than his mom in this photo shoot. 

X-Games

A couple of weeks ago Jeff got hooked up with some tickets to the X-Games for the family.  It was such a cool experience.  We went to watch the skateboarding finals and were definitely entertained.  We got to see Shaun White clinch the Gold!  Caleb loved the moment and said afterwards that he really wants to meet Shaun White.  So if anyone knows him, can you please spread the word?

Mommy & Caleb Date Night

A couple of weeks ago Jeff wasn't feeling very well, so I decided to take Caleb to see a movie - he had been asking to see the Smurf's for quite a while.  I told Caleb I wanted to go on a date with him and go have some dinner and see the movie.  He responded, "DATE?!  We can't go on a date, 'cause dates are for falling in love!"  I explained it wasn't going to be that kind of date :),  more like a play date, but just for the two of us to enjoy each others company.  We had so much fun chatting about Star Wars, Super Mario, and so much else.  Any time he would start up with "boy talk" (e.g. about poop or something), I would tell him that we don't talk about those kinds of things on a date.  Then we'd change the subject and move on.  Good training for a real date (way, WAY in the future).  Unfortunately he made me foot the bill this time.  

Ready to eat our pizza (he picked the cuisine)

He got a cupcake after dinner.  Can you tell what flavor?  This is when I knew for sure that my date was not trying to impress me.

1st Day of 1st Grade

Last week Caleb had his 1st day of 1st Grade (*sniff*).  It kinda hit me that this was REAL elementary school!  I mean Kindergarten was just like practice school.  Now he's in an actual grade.  Enjoy the pictures of my little man!

One of his friends, Lily.  They've lived in the same neighborhood their entire lives, but the first time they've gone to school together.

That's his best buddy, Collin, next to Caleb.  They have become best friends over the last 6 months and now get to be in the same class!

More Swimming!!!

Caleb has been doing absolutely AMAZING in swimming lately.  He had a scare in the pool a couple of weeks ago, and ever since then he has been taking it very seriously and wanting to practice in every spare moment of the session.  This has made him progress in his skills by leaps and bounds.  Enjoy these videos!
