Not dead, i promise!

so i realize that i totally suck with blogging. So to spare you all my verbose tendencies, here are a bunch of pics to update you.

unfortunately the pics are in reverse order. lol
This is my pantry addition Rob made for me over christmas break. It probably adds almost double the amount of space. i am in heaven! and yes, the ladder situation was somewhat sketchy.
Chronological enjoyment of the 'first' shake with our new VitaMix (thanks mom and dad!!)






Ahhh bliss

Preparing for the adventure outside. K doesn't do very well keeping his gloves on so there are rubber bands around his wrists. dad's idea.
The christmas eve present (the tube) and first 'sledding trip'

Unfortunately i don't have any pics of our sledding hill. it is at the playground next door and this tube does great. the only down side is that it terrified caleb.


Tug-o-war with his friend Noah

Rob had to be on the watch with K. Caleb gets pretty excited with his friends and had a tendency to try to hug them but that usually means pulling, poking of eyes or holding on too long (do you remember those guys?!!) or some other disturbance of their personal space.
She just looked so content. :) i love my dog. even though she isn't exactly well socialized (my fault) she is a great play mate for caleb!
Ok. Caleb loves this. it looks like child abuse but i swear it isn't.
Going in
"Shut the door!"
Halloween. I am supposed to be a glamorous Hollywood movie star
Rob, the Construction Worker. yes, he has a fake earring. (not quite sure if you can see it).
My happy giraffe. He hated having the head on. I thought it completed the outfit so i forced the issue.
Dejected

Me at Walden Pond. I went to Boston in October and stayed with a friend. I am an english major so Walden Pond has much significance in my book. I studied writings of Henry David Thoreau for a semester; this was a highlight of my trip. Forgive the funky hair. I struggle with what to do with it when i am in humid conditions. :)

mullet head.
Learning to kiss
um.... (cracked me up after i took this!!)
Got it!

Fall family vacation to Park City. We 'illegally' took caleb down the Alpine Slide. He loved it! i couldn't go fast enough for him. He will end up just like his uncles: daredevils.
he was jumping/dancing on all the grates. so cute!

Looking at a statue with some animal(don't remember which) he recognized
Cute outfit

Mullet Baby
This is my first complete dinner failure. These are supposed to be beef ribs. I tried to follow my grandpa's advice on how to cook these however my grill was a cast off we found for free off the side of the road (please laugh, we do!) and it ignited these. To add fuel to the fire-literally-the ribs had a lot of fat on them so i had a bondfire. i actually had flames coming out of the bbq. This makes me laugh--i have never failed so completely with food and this...what a complete failing. so worth documenting, all b/c of a free bbq. haha
excited to color.
discovery of a pen. i was working and he was playing. obviously i was pretty focused on what i was doing.

All innocent. right

Hey Jill! I found your blog a while ago but it didn't look like you updated very often... So I'm glad you finally did! I was excited to see Noah featured on your blog! Haha. We actually got Noah that same little Cat dumptruck for Christmas because he liked Caleb's so much! You can see our blog at ryanandemilywelker.blogspot.com, if you want! :)

P.S. Sorry, I deleted the first comment due to the fact that I left out a word and it didn't make sense...

Yay! I'm glad you're back. We hardly ever see each other anymore, so I was missing the little insights into your life :)

Cute pictures! It is so pathetic that I'm your neighbor and I have to wait for a blog update to find out what is going on in your life. I'm terrible! I'm going to call you so we can do that walk. I miss our chats.
