Caleb turned 1

This is Caleb here, writing just to let you know that I'm 1 year old today... and it's been a great day! I got to take a long nap, play with my toys, tell everybody else what to do... I even got someone to change my diaper!

For dinner, everyone had taco salad, but I had chicken soup! Mom, Dad and Josh sang Happy Birthday (just a little out of tune), and then I just looked at the candle until Josh helped me blow it out. When it was time for cake, I wasn't so sure about the frosting... and didn't want to eat it! And everyone kept saying to "get messy", but that's just gross! But after everybody put on a frosting mustache, I started getting into it too! Man, that was good cake!

Here are a couple pictures of my party!
Love, Caleb

Trip to the Beach!

Last week we went on a little vacation to Hilton Head Island in SC for a week with Mike's family! After an 8-hour drive down, in which the boys did FABULOUS in the car, there was a lot to do! We rode bikes to the beach, played at the pool, rode bikes some more, and played at the beach! It was very relaxing, and we all had a wonderful time!

We saw dolphins right off the shore, climbed 114 steps to the top of a lighthouse, and visited the ever famous "Salty Dog Cafe"!

Josh's favorite thing to do was run and splash in the waves, dig holes in the sand, look for shells, and ride bikes as much as our tired bodies could handle! Josh rode on a tandem bike with Mike and loved going as fast as he could, which meant leaving me and Caleb in the dust! He also loved jumping off the edge into the pool... then getting out... jumping in again and getting out... and jumping in again! He's even getting better at the swimming part too!

Caleb was a little unsure of the sand at first, but by the end, he was crawling and toddling all over the beach! And give him a shovel and a bucket and he would sit there forever! He also loved the ocean, and would walk straight into the waves without giving a thought to the possibility of getting swept out to sea! And he even got brave and man-handled a jellyfish that washed up on shore... lucky for him it didn't sting, so we didn't have to pee on his hand!

The highlight for Mike was not answering his cel phone!!! (that was the highlight of MY week too!) And of course, getting to spend some extra time with Joan and Terry (Mike's parents), and Shanna and Jason (Mike's sister and husband)!

Climbing the Lighthouse!

We had to climb 114 steps with no air conditioning in 100 degree weather! Whoo! So, by the time we got to the top, it was great to feel that ocean breeze!
Grandma and Grandpa Trentadue (Joan and Terry) are trying to help Josh see the parasailers!


Just a bunch of Beach Bums!

Josh and Caleb Photo Gallery (April 2006)

Here are a few pictures of the boys! I'm trying this film loop thing out, where the pictures scroll across your screen. You may have to download the program (but don't worry, it's FREE) in order to see it... but it's kind of a cute way to look at the pictures.

Caleb's walking!!!


He took his first steps at 10 months, and by 11 months he is cruisin' around like crazy! And he gets the biggest kick out of doing it too... he especially likes when we all clap and yell, "YEAH!"

Yeehaw!

Here's our new house!!!











Some of you have asked for pictures of our new house... so here's a few of the family room, kitchen, dining room, living room... there's no furniture, but notice my birthday present in the corner... and a messy toy room! It's really nice to have the extra space, and we feel very blessed!
