Latest update

Okay, so I should talk a little bit about the last little while. Life has been super busy for Jess and me. We helped get Jess' Grandma moved into an assisted living place that is really nice. After Jess' Grandpa died, it just got too hard for Nanny to keep everything going at their house. She now has a little apartment not too far from where her house was, and doesn't have to worry about any upkeep. Jess' cousin got married last week to a girl from Russia. It took a bit to get all of the paperwork done for her to come, but all of that is in the past now. Kaleb continues to grow and is constantly surprising us with the things he says and does. Some of his most recent outbursts include:
"I'm not grumpy, I'm GROUCHY!!!"
"Dad, can you turn to the right a little bit?" This was when the sun was in his eyes while driving home.
And when asked who taught him to be silly he always replies "Grandma"

We spent last weekend in Vegas which was a lot of fun. It was a short trip, and I was sick coming home, but all in all, I was really glad we went. While we were there, we played a little Rock Band 2, and visited a ton. We got to see the new painting and redecorating efforts, which looked great! Kaleb also got to play with some of his cousins that he hasn't seen for a while. While we were coming home, he said "I don't want to go home, I want to go back to Grandma's". I guess he liked it there. We also got to go to Meghan's baptism. I still can't believe she's 8. It just doesn't seem possible. You would figure that I would have an easier time than some due to the fact that she is 20 years younger than me, but I think it is just hard for me to grasp.
To continue our busy life, Jess is going to St. George this weekend to spend some time with the women in her mom's family. They are doing their semi-annual girls weekend. I will get to spend some time showing Kaleb some new wrestling moves which should be a lot of fun.
As always, life continues to roll forward whether we like it or not. I just try to hang on and enjoy the ride.

It was a really good weekend. One of the best for me as far as comparing it to others when family comes and we are all crazy busy. It was a total bummer that you got sick but we are still glad you made the effort to come down. Love ya guys tons.

I have to second that comment. It was a lot of fun, but not so great that you got sick. Meghan's baptism and celebration afterward was really neat. I think she felt very special. Cari's house is definitely big enough for us to meet in sometimes. The kids played and we got to visit a lot. It was really a nice day. I'm sad that you had to miss Sunday because it was a really nice day too. Tell Kaleb Grandma wanted him to turn around and come back too!! But I'll be up to see him soon. Love to all!!
