A Weekend of Family

So, we had a very nice weekend! Saturday night, we got to spend a good share of it with the Bell side of our family, and it was a lot of fun. We played lots of games, had tacos, and got to catch up with family. Autumn was here with her family, and I haven't seen them in over 4 years, so it was nice to visit with them

I finally got to meet this little guy,

And he loved me SO MUCH, that he did this

on my pants! Gotta love the little guy!

We also had the chance to see my dad play the Wii. It was quite entertaining!

I think they should get one! :)

Before I tell the next part, I should remind people, (or tell them if they don't know) that Caleb was adopted by his parents when he was 27 days old.

We found out on Friday night that Caleb has 2 half sisters. One of them found him on Facebook, and added him as a friend, and wants to get to know him. Caleb is excited and curious to get to know her, so we will keep you posted on what's going on with that. Right now he's not wanting to meet them or anything, but he would like to know a little more about his birth family for geneology puropses.

Peanut Blart and Jelly

So, Friday night Caleb and I decided we wanted to go out, and our friend Reggie joined us. We ate at Subway, (trying to keep healthy, and the new 9 grain bread is really tasty!) and then we went to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It is HILARIOUS!!! They didn't show all of the funniest parts of the movie like they do in a lot of commercials for those kinds of movies. We had so much fun! It's not a movie that's going to change your life by any means, but it's definately a good laugh. It's rated PG, so it's not raunchy or anything either. That I really enjoyed! This movie was written and produced by Kevin James and Adam Sandler. It is great!

On another note, I've been down with sickness this week. Now that I'm better, poor Caleb is sick. He was so attentive and sweet to take care of me like he did, and now I've gotten him sick, and I'm so sad about it! He's just gonna sleep a lot so that he can get better.

Hope you are all doing well! Go see the movie for a good laugh!

Sorry so long!

Things have been so crazy in the last few weeks! It's definately time to catch up!

So, Christmas was good for us! We spent Christmas Eve with the Ellison clan and got to see how everyone was doing on the challenge. Everyone is doing well from what I saw! Christmas Day was perfect. We just got each other a couple of little things, and called it good. My parents gave Caleb a box full of things he loves, and I got a Cricut! It was a great little Christmas!

We rang in the new year at Gen and Mike's house. They are always such great hosts! We really enjoy spending time with them! Caleb had been sick, and was finally starting to feel better by then, so it was really nice! Lots of seven layer dip and tacos!

So, with the weight loss challenge, Caleb has lost about 13 and I've lost 27 so far. We are really excited! We are getting healthy, and that's what we really wanted. I like that most of my pants aren't fitting as well now, but at the same time I hate it, because we can't afford for me to get a new pair yet. :) Oh well! I'm just going to have to get really good at altering all of my clothes!

This last Thursday my Mother in Law Kathie had knee replacement surgery. She's been in the hospital until this morning, so we have been going back and forth a lot! I'm happy to say that she is doing really well right now. It's still going to be a long road to perfect recovery, but she is doing great for the fact she only had surgery 5 days ago!

Love you all to bits! I'll be better about this! I promise!
