So here is our cute little family...and my little boy Reddek wants to be just like his daddy as you can tell from the pictures and video below Jason has a little tag along about everywhere he goes. They rarely care what mommy is doing unless Jason is giving mom a hug then Reddek gets mad and says" my mommy a my mommy" and runs over to rescue me. I love these two boys with all my heart and hope Reddek turns out just like his daddy (well for the most part) : )

Reddek's first Tag

Reddek got tagged by Collin for 5 things you might not know about him...

1. Reddek is a VERY cautious kid. He always watches his step, goes slow and rarely gets hurt.

2. He copies his dad on EVERYTHING! If we are eating dinner I try to give him a bite he says no a daddy's. He wants to do everything like daddy if daddy is wearing a tie Reddek wants to...it is pretty funny, but sometimes gets frustrating! Jason has to do about everything we are trying to get Reddek to do.

3. He is a little tease!

4. He asks to go to bed! Rather it is nighttime or naptime...if he is tired enough he gets me and says a bed with doggy. He is a McCaul for sure he loves to sleep :) On weekends we sleep in until 9:00 because he is our alarm.

5. Reddek runs so funny. I have tried to figure out what he is doing to make it be so different, I think he keeps his knees from bending but can't tell. I will have to get video of it before he figures out how to do it right!

Now Reddek taggs...Avery, Collyn, Connor, Elijah, and Millie

BUsY wEeKenD :-)

We had a busy busy weekend...I think we were home a total of 7 hours awake! That is from Friday morning to Sunday night. Started going to the temple Friday afternoon, right from there to cornbelly's ALL NIGHT! We had a blast too bad Andria ditched us for their friends AGAIN! j/k Then Saturday we went to a sealing in the afternoon, then dinner, and target to pick up a birthday present, and to Parris and Shannon's for a Halloween movie and treats. We watched beetlejuice and I was so bugged it was only rated PG and it said the * word! Can you believe that even a PG movie says the * word. Then got home in time to go to bed again! Sunday morning headed down south to see family and have Jade's birthday party! Of course stayed all day ended up home at 11:30pm...and Monday morning was payroll so I was up by 4:30 am! But i loved every minute of it. I love to be busy and having fun with family.
Reddek LOVED corn belly's...i am sure it helped having Collyn there to play with and Julia and Brandon kept him entertained for us. THANKS for the fun weekend Shannon :-)

Entering the SCARY monster
Reddek loved the slides

Played in the corn
Ya I am the only one having fun! at least that is how it looks. We didn't love the hayride.

What a cute little farmer!

Picture tag!

So this is the 4th picture in my 4th folder. My sweet niece Jadelyn in the NICU. She was born 2 months early and weighed only 3lbs 3 ozs. She was a fighter! She didn't have to go on oxygen but she did have to stay there a month. Tomorrow is actually her birthday and she will be 2yrs old. Being a preemie they warn you that your kid might develop slower because you have to figure her birthday on her actual due date...well Jade isn't slow at all!!! She is two weeks older than Reddek and she is teaching him TONS! I love Jade and am glad she pulled so hard those first few months. Rachel was brave, I felt so bad I was a bigger mess than her and my kid was healthy and big. I just FREAKED out when I had to take Reddek home. She had to take Jade home and she was so tiny and her lungs weren't fully developed and Rachel was so calm! I was glad I had her to help me go through all the emotions I had. I was also blessed to have Andria and Annette so near by to help with the new mom things since my mom wasn't here!

I tagg everyon! It is easy and fun to see old pictures.

Pictures!

Well my sister and I met up at the mall yesterday to get pictures taken! These are them in their Halloween costumes, Reddek as a dragon and Jadelyn as a poodle. These two are so dang cute! I know everyone thinks their kids are cute so I can too right? They are both almost 2 and are 2 weeks to the day apart. They have a special friendship and really love each other. We thought it would be better with them both there so they could help each other smile and be happy! It worked!!! Usually Reddek is not too friendly and extra shy, but he did great each picture he was smiling so big. Jade did great too, but she got sick of pictures a little faster than Reddek.

I know they are tiny but this is the only way I could share them on the blog!

NeVeR a DuLl MOmeNT!

Ya since being married to Jason well actually since we dated we rarely have dull moments! His older brother Parris is so funny! We had a great night Saturday. Parris made us all pizza subs which were fabulous! Sat around and chatted with everyone. Then Parris came down in his Halloween costume! It was hilarious! Everyone was laughing well except Reddek he started crying and I kept saying Reddek it is just Parris and he finally calmed down and kept saying "just Parris". Well we went around to a few doors to share the surprise and then Kelly had a great idea to post it on you tube! So here it is, it is pretty darn funny! We love that we have family close so we can still do spur of the moment things like this. We were always doing fun stuff in Ephraim so I hope we can continue the traditions here! If my video for some reason doesn't work go to you tube and type in Nacho Libre - Chad Moore. If you have seen Nacho you will absolutley love this!

WhAt?

So today I noticed all Reddek's 18 month clothes are too little and I get his 2T clothes out of the closet and laugh as I hold them up! They are never going to fit him. Well I put them on and ya they fit. ahh where did the time go? I didn't realize how much he has grown or changed then I started looking back at his baby pictures today. He has changed a ton and hello he talks to me non stop everyday wasn't that a sign to me he is growing up? Well he is almost two and I still feel like I am trying to figure this mothering thing out...maybe I will never get it.

This is him today in his big 2T clothes.

6 quirks tag

1. I hate leftovers! Jason and I don't eat leftovers so it makes it very hard we are always throwing food away. The only leftover I eat is Pizza and Jason doesn't even do that.

2. I sometimes wash a load of laundry two or three times before I put it in the dryer and put it away...I know crazy!

3. I HATE shopping for clothes for myself, would much rather buy Reddek or Jason something.

4. We throw treats away! We usually buy them and eat them for a couple days then Jason makes us throw them out because we are eating too much sugar...this is more Jason, but I am glad when he does it or I would eat all the treats.

5. I seriously always worry about Reddek. If he is fussy one day I think oh crap what is wrong does he have some big disease or what is up with him...I am sure it is a mom thing I hope it soon goes away, but am worried it will only get worse!!!

6. I have to motivate myself daily to clean house...is this normal? I use to always say I don't have time because I was working a TON! But now I am home by 11:30 everyday and I really have to talk myself into it every single day. I hope soon I will just enjoy cleaning house. Don't worry my house isn't gross I usually talk myself into it I just wish it was a habit!

There you go! I know I am weird...so lets tag, Shannon, Andria, Amber, Marcee, Tamber, Charle and anyone who wants to do it!

Perfect Weekend : )

Well we had a relaxing weekend! Jason's sister got some cabins for us so we went up there Friday hung out ate lots of course played in the woods and enjoyed some quality family time. It rained all day Saturday so we all hung out in the cabins and listened to conference. Which was good for me because we are usually home doing projects with the radio or TV on and not really paying attention. Thanks Jay and Teresa for the fun free weekend :) They got the cabins and brought most the food...it was a great way to spend the weekend.




We even caught a snake and saw some wild turkeys.



It was so pretty I love this time of year!
Reddek loved the little creek!


All of us relaxed and listened to conference...Reddek even did ok just colored and listened to granpas and he calls them.

There is a boy that lives near the cabins that loves Jason's sister so he came over for a while to teach us how to dance. He is so sweet. We all love AJ!

Ended with Grandma and Grandpa sleeping over Saturday as you can see Red always has fun with the grandparents. I love that he gets to spend so much time with them even though they are a little ways away.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON

Well yesterday Jason turned the big 25!!! I am a day late, of course, and I don't have any fun pictures to share...but I wanted to give a shout out to him! He is such a great husband and dad, and I suck I worked all day yesterday and didn't do anything great for him. A bunch of us went to Chili’s Monday night to celebrate since I had to work all day Tuesday, so thanks to all his friends for coming with us!
Jason is my best friend and is such a great example to me and Reddek. I am so happy Reddek has such a great dad to look up to. I am grateful for everything he does for us, yes even on his birthday he helped me cook dinner. He can always calm me down when I am upset and knows just what to say to make me feel better. He knows me so well sometimes I think better than I know myself...of course I can't let him know that! He is always caring about other people and wants everyone happy all the time. He is easy going and doesn't get upset very often. And of course can always make us laugh! Reddek absolutely LOVES him!!! Jason is so good to play with him even though he is tired from being at work all day he hides, plays ball, swings and runs with Red. Jason I love you so much and I am sorry you didn't have the best day yesterday, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
