Happy Thanksgiving (late)!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! On Thursday, James' parents came down and we had Thanksgiving dinner after James got off work. He had to work all weekend. Friday afternoon James' grandma, aunt and cousins came over to spend the afternoon with us and see our little guy. It was great to be able so spend time with the family. James' parents are headed back tomorrow and Caleb is sure going to miss his aunts and all the attention!! Now, that Thanksgiving is officially over, I'm so excited because that means it's Christmas time. It's time to get out the decorations! I love Christmas time and this year is even more important to me because Caleb is older and my family is coming to town! I can't wait. Will post pictures soon of the tree.


Grandpa put one of Caleb's little balls in his shirt, it was so funny. Caleb just kept saying ball and trying to get the ball out of his shirt but he couldn't figure it out!

Caleb still hasn't quite figured out how to press the red button on his atv to get it to go, so you have to push it for him while he rides around, here's Arinn taking her turn to help him out.

April got a turn too - I think his aunts had as much fun as he did!

Caleb feel asleep on grandpa, there was just too much excitement for him.

Isn't this just the cutest outfit! Caleb is just so cool!

These pictures are from a couple of weeks ago, Caleb always wears his jersey on game day and I thought maybe i could get him to pose in the backyard with his football. You can see it didn't work out very well.



This is a horrible picture of me and Caleb isn't even looking but you can see that I colored my hair red, I was hoping for a darker red like auburn but it didn't work out so well. Hopefully, next time I'll get the right color.

And these are the newest members to the Wall family, they have no names sadly. There was another one and a frog but they didn't stay with our family very long, they didn't seem to get along very well in our tank. :(

Trick or Treating & Faux Hawk!

Our Halloween season had a rough start, it started with Caleb getting sick, then I got a bad case of Pink Eye and I was put on antibiotics, then Caleb threw up at school and had to miss two day. After going back to work and Caleb back in school, we thought all was well, then James got sick with the same thing I had. But before he could get better I got some stomach virus and after I recovered James got sick again! He seriously recovered just in time for us to go trick or treating on Halloween night. So, unfortunately this year we missed out on Caleb's school Fall Festival & Trunk or Treat and going to the pumpkin patch but there is always next year!
Halloween night we thought we would head over to the Saginaw Community Center for their activities but we drove by and there were too many people so we headed back to our neighborhood and went trick or treating. We just stopped by a few houses on our street and the next street over. I don't think Caleb really understood what was going on but he was sure cute! He really got excited when we got back to our house and there were trick or treaters coming to the door. Everytime there was someone at the door, Caleb walked over to the door (yes he walked - he is now walking more then crawling and thinks he's such a big boy when he does it) to see who it was but he was always too slow. Then he got the idea I'll just sit by the door and wait so he was able to see some of the trick or treaters. We had to turn off our porch light when it was Caleb's bedtime because I couldn't get him to sleep he was too interested in who was at the door.

Caleb is already to go trick or treating!

Caleb trick or treating!
This week was a memorable weekend, not only because it was Halloween and Caleb went trick or treating but I finally gave in for the second time and got Caleb's hair cut. It was getting so long that EVERYONE was saying he needed a haircut but I don't know what it was I just didn't want to get his haircut and now I know why, he doesn't look like my baby anymore! Since he's 1 one and a big boy we decided that maybe he should have his hair styled so here are a few pictures of his new haircut. The first two are his "normal" everyday look, the last two are of his Faux Hawk! Yes, my baby has a mohawk!
