Caleb's Swimming Goggles

Everytime Caleb takes a bath now he must have his swimming goggles on. He will swim around and arond and pretend he's a whale, or a sea turtle or a shark. It's really cute.

Maybe we'll be able to talk him taking his goggles to Pre-School for show-and-tell.

ATV-ing up American Fork Canyon

On Saturday I went up American Fork Canyon with my brother Dave on the ATV's. We had a blast.



We parked at the parking lot at Tibble Fork, then took the left fork up the canyon. I was amazed at how many trails and camp sites are up there. We saw a red-tailed hawk fly right infront of us.
We crossed a creek to get into one of the camp sites and you could tell it was Dave's 1st day on an ATV...

He got much better later, as you can see.

At least he didn't roll the ATV like I did. We were coming down the trail after 2 hours of fun and I wasn't really paying attention. I was kind-of standing up because it was rocky and my back was a little sore from sitting on the seat the whole time. Well, on the right side of the trail there was bank of dirt and as I went over it the front tire hit a rock that was at the top and since I was standing my center of gravity went off and the ATV started to roll to my left. I hopped off and rolled away from the ATV which Dave thought did a 360 and then onto it's side. It still ran fine and we made it down the mountain OK, but my I spraied my wrist and my lower back must have landed on a rock because it is still SORE. Anyway, I just rolled my eyes because I'd been so careful the whole time and with only 5 minutes left on our ride on the way down I go and don't pay attention and get up getting hurt. It was a good lesson for me to learn and I know I'll be more careful next time (if Amy doesn't sell the ATV's out from under me one day while I'm at work) :)

Caleb can float!!!

So in Tuesday's swim lesson, Caleb started right off by saying he needed to go to the bathroom and then he cried for about 10 minutes, but when he started floating he did OK.

Slip N Slide down the slide

On Thursday, Nicole and Bryan and the girls came down and ate dinner with us. Amy set up the slip and slide and put it at the end of the regular slide... behold the fun!!!

Caleb the Photographer

Today we had some shish-kabob's for dinner; teriyai chicken w/ pineapple, sweet and sour shrimp w/ apples and chicken meat balls. Yummy!We invited over Steve Stevens from our ward. His family has been gone to Thailand for the last 2 months and he also just suffered a 3rd degree shoulder separation... add to that, he had to work all weekend for Utah National Guard drills.

Caleb grabbed my camera today and said he wanted to take a picture. He went around with the camera at cockeyed angle and took a bunch of pictures.
Then I grabbed our 2nd camera and headed out back so I could show you Caleb's new artistic aspirations... Beware Jon Canlas!!! As you can see we set up the tent and slept in it last night and Caleb and I tried it out... he had a blast.

Caleb's Swimming Lesson

I wish the batteries in the camera would have lasted longer. The poor guy just cried and cried. He kept making excuse for why he couldn't float on his back... I have booboo's, I'm sick, I need to to pee right now, I need to burp!!!
