One hard call for Caleb..........

It has been a really long time since I updated my blog! I'm horrible....With that said, I feel like I need to do this. Caleb is going to hate me and this just may get deleted, we'll see :)

Last Friday, July 9th, I was sitting at home on the computer and I hear the front door open. Caleb patrols out west which is about 30 to 45 minutes away from our house. It's very unusual for him to just walk in the door without me knowing he's in town or coming home. Caleb had walked into the computer and what I saw made my heart drop. He was shaking and breathing hard and had tears in his eyes. Again, he's going to kill me for sharing this.

He explained to me that he had been sent out to a call where he had to give an 18 month old baby, who had been found in a canal, CPR and it doesn't look good. Caleb has been a Police Officer for nearly 8 years now. I have NEVER seen him break down. As weird as it may sound, it made me feel so good to see him like this. Not because I want him hurting, but it just reminds me even more than I already knew, that he is a giant teddy bear. His heart was hurting for this little girl. He is able to brush things aside very quickly, but I know he still thinks about her and how she is doing. That night things were not looking good for the little one, but the next day she started showing signs of life on her own. She is currently on Salt Lake at Primary Children's Hospital. They still don't know what the outcome will be, but it's in the Lord's hands. We pray for her and hope one day to see her happy and healthy again.

This may seem cheesy to some, but I had a hard time washing his pants after that night. I decided to take a picture for a reminder of how short life can be. Or the surprises that we least expect. I'm so thankful for the Officer Caleb is and how he is able to perform his job. I love you babe with all my heart. Please don't be mad that I posted this :)

Spring where are you?

We are ready for spring! The girls and I decided to go out and get rid of the ice and snow on our driveway hoping that it will help spring come sooner :) I hate this time of year! Do I wear my coat or jacket? Do I bundle the kids up or let them be comfortable? We want SPRING!A very enthusiastic Ri!
Tori, not really helping :) just enjoying herself! Haha! And again!

And I'm not really sure what she is shoveling here.....:)

Riley is a great helper. Not saying Tori isn't, but Ri gets determined and gets the job done! And Tori gets a little distracted sometimes :)

I hope she keeps that attitude through out life! And I really hope spring comes NOW!!!

Ok so it's been over 2 months....SO WHAT!

So back in November it was our 7th wedding anniversary! How time flies. But here's the cheesy part, November 9th isn't only our wedding anniversary, but it's also our anniversary for when we started "going out"! LOL! 10 YEARS ago!!! Caleb surprised me, yet again, with a nights stay at Destinations Inn in Idaho Falls, which I didn't even know existed! It was such a surprise! We stayed in the Arabia room, which was awesome! Here are a few pics!
Obviously, our bed :)

Sorry, pretty fuzzy. Our camera was broken at the time and the one we used sucked.

Our super yummy breakfast in bed. Doesn't get better than that!

Huge drop down TV. Loved it!

Cool camel decor.

The camera doesn't do justice for the place. It was incredible!

This is the shower/bathtub. The shower comes straight down from the ceiling.

And yes...a sauna! I think we spent half our time in there. It was so nice!Before we checked out we snuck around and took pics of some of the other rooms. This one was Alaska. Kinda boring compared to the others! And here we have Hawaii. It was taken when Caleb made our reservations. :( Next time maybe. Love the massage table!

I don't remember which room this is. I think India or something.It was such a surprise. I usually know when he is up to something. But this one REALLY got me. And the best part is, when he ususally does stuff like this for me I have a hard time enjoying it cause I feel like throwing up in my mouth wondering how much it costs and which bills aren't gonna be paid because of it. But this time, he worked some extra shifts and saved the money to pay for it! I had no idea and I could fully enjoy myself! I want to go back! I think I'll keep him around for another 10 years!~ :)

Girls just wanna have fun!

It's so fun having girls! We had a girls day the day after Christmas and had a blast! First we hung out at home and did makeup.......Riley did mine as you can see below! Then we shopped, visited Grandpa Murdock, shopped somemore, then ate at The Olive Garden. The best part of the day was it didn't cost me a dime! (Except gas if you get technical!) We had a few gift certificates and had fun using them! At Barnes and Noble being big girls and reading. Love it! It's their favorite store in the mall!
Here they are cheesing it at Olive Garden. They didn't care for the food, but I sure did!

Riley's favorite Christmas present is her dress up and makeup. It's hilarious to watch her put it on. She asked so cute if she could do mine, how could I turn her down? I think she did a great job! She was the salon worker and I was the customer!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Here is a little peak at how our Christmas was. And I'm computer illiterate so you get to see the pictures from end to start instead of start to end!

Dad trying on dress up! :) The girls got lots of dressup!First picture of Christmas morning. Didn't wake up till 7:30. Not to bad!Making Santa's cookies of Christmas Eve!

All of our Christmas cards we got this year. Thanks everyone! Making cinnamon rolls.....mmmmmm

So excited to add Christmas Eve to the countdown! They rock!

And another countdown!Tori's Christmas tree ornament she made at school. So cute!So pretty!

Hope everyone had a good Christmas!!!!

My little girl!

Tori is growing up soooo fast. I HATE IT! I say it all the time. But it has really hit me hard lately. She's starting to read. It's awesome, but I want my baby back! She saw a reminder I had written to myself and decided to re-write it for me! So funny.

So in love!

The girls got an early Christmas present this year! One of Caleb's friends had a litter of kittens that were getting eaten by coyotes. So we decided to take one (maybe two, if the other one hasn't already become dinner!) But I tell you, she is such a good little kitty! She knows the litter box now and let's the girls lug her around EVERYWHERE! It's so funny. Her name started out as Fluffy. Then Snow White, then Jasmine, then, Tink, then Ariel, and now back to Tink. I think. It'll be different tomorrow I'm sure!

Ri says, " I think kitty needs to go potty. She stinks." Hahahahha!
