Bath Time

Carter's first bath with Caleb without his baby bath about 2 weeks ago.

Rub a Dub Dub 3 Boys in the Tub

I know it won't be this way forever, but right now my older siblings and I love living so close to each other. We've begun rotating dinners 3 times a week, which means two less nights to cook a meal! With both Ariane and Kari's husbands tied up at work due to busy season, I know they enjoy the social outlet since their husbands don't come home till late. We are putting lots of pressure on my younger siblings to jump on the bandwagon and come back to Texas after they're finished at BYU.

Our boys love playing together and will hopefully grow up to be best friends. Drew has been getting impatient waiting for Caleb and Dallin to grow up enough to play with him! Last night, we threw all the boys in the tub for a bath. Baby Samantha was happy to miss out on this party!

Two out of three smiling at the camera...not bad.
Caleb's smile and Drew's funny face.

At one point, both Drew and Dallin were scrunched up at the front of the bath trying to escape the wrath of Caleb. He would pour water on their heads (much to their dislike) and then just giggle and giggle.

The Best of Times and Worst of Times

We have the same routine each night as far as getting ready for bed. Caleb eats some food, followed by a bath, and then we'll do "quiet" activities to calm down for sleeping. Caleb has always loved his baths, but he HATES with a passion getting dressed afterwards. It is a huge fight every night with a lot of screaming (mostly from Caleb) and kicking. Last night, Matt and I tried to catch some of our routine on camera. So the first few pictures are of his bath, followed by the fight to get clothes on him. We actually had a difficult time catching Caleb's anger because whenever Matt took a picture, Caleb would automatically smile--he does so good with pictures. (So now we know how to make getting dressed a little easier!)

Bath time is a favorite activity.

Sleeping with Daddy

We go on at least one walk a day, and sometimes Mom rollerblades!

Halloween was not a happy occasion, but even my grumpy faces are still cute.
