Depsite his best efforts to keep it from happening, Cale has hit the big 3 - 0! 30 yippee!! He doesn't think so but I do. I think it is great for one of us to be out of our twenties and on to the next decade! It should also help us to no longer be seen as college kids. Apparently graduating is not enough. You must immediately land the career you just spent years learning about, make big money in any field, or turn 30 to no longer be classified as college students!
Emma and I threw a nice little party for him. Trust me, I had lots more planned until my husband informed me last week that he did not want a party! So, we cancelled all those plans (which were still in my head luckily) and moved to plan B. We made him some of his favorites for dinner, a yummy cake and had presents. Emma got her daddy some new pj pants and I got him the Back to the Future Trilogy. It was a low key night that we were able to enjoy all together but the best part was probably that Emma decided to give her daddy one more gift...and started walking! Congrats on 30 years of great achievements Cale!

Walking!
It is official. Little Emma has finally put forth more than four little steps. She walked across the entire living room last night over and over from mom to dad and dad to mom and even to her toys every now and then. I would of course post video but that will have to wait till I can replace the camera cord that my little smartie chewed up. However, that brings me to the winnings of the walking contest. I believe that two of you voted for 10 months. However, I know only one of them which is Jessica. So Jessica what is your favorite candybar? The other that voted but did not tell me who you are, speak now or forever lose your candybar!
6 years gone by!
So in my last update, I forgot to mention a very exciting event in our lives: We just had our 6th anniversary oh Jan. 2nd! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. We have loved every minute of those years without a single fight or even small quarrel! J/K. We are not perfect but we are definitely perfect for each other. Cale entered this marriage as the laid back, relaxed, lovey dovey spouse and I entered as the more controlling but also loving spouse! Cale gave me my way for about a year at which point he decided that me getting my way all the time was not healthy and started to take a stand on important issues to him like where to put the play station and recliner! J/K. He has definitely helped me to bite my tongue, think through my thoughts, and not plan every little detail. He has taught me that it is ok to spend money on a vacation each year and how to listen to the Lord. I think I have helped him to speak up more, plan a little more, write the shopping list down when I send him to the store, and helped him to see what an amazing father he could be and is. I will never forget the way he won me over (and stole me away from another guy) by loving me unconditionally! I love him with all my heart and look forward to many more happy years!

Broken!
So, some people have to worry about their dogs chewing things around the house. I have to worry about my daughter! I have not updated my blog with Christmas pics and others because my little girl chewed up the end of the USB cord! So here is the update minus pictures:
Emma is now 10 1/2 months old! She walks when she wants to but usually still holds on. She has finally stopped eating! She has never lost her appetite since she was born but ever since Christmas she hasn't wanted to eat anything. She is teething again and now has three teeth. I think she is working on the other top front tooth. She loves to play and be around other kids, but doesn't share well (of course) and tries to use the kids to help her stand up. They of course don't like this which results in two crying children!
She loved Sea World and the San Diego Zoo. Her favorites were the Sea Lions and the Elephants! She did well for these all day events and just slept in her stroller or my arms when tired. She gots a few new toys, her favorite being a toy Lion that she can push while walking.
She has decided that sleeping in until 8:30am is better than 6:30 or 7am so she now gets 12+ hours of sleep! yippee! She still goes to bed at 7pm. She is liking her sippy cup more and more and is down to 3 or 4 bottles a day. I'm still trying to work out the whole more food, less milk thing so any of you with helpful info please post it.
We are still enjoying Arizona and have enjoyed fun visits from James and Jamie, Brett and Brittany, and Danae. all others still welcome!
