Swimming Baby!

Cache and I have been taking "Mommy & Me" swimming lessons at the rec center the last few weeks. It has been a lot of fun and Cache absolutely LOVES it! He likes to kick his legs and splash around.

Whenever he finds his swimming suit he brings it to me...this morning he brought it to me and then sat in my lap and tried to put it on himself. I finally just stuck it on over his pants--which he was totally okay with. Ha ha. He is such a funny kid.

another week in cell pics...

Week in cell phone pictures...

Cache found some old Halloween candy...ate a Mr. Goodbar and then spit the peanut pieces on the carpet.

I'm partial, but he is the cutest kid ever!

Cache was hammin' it up before I took pictures of this little cutie...

Catch-up time: Christmas

We went to see Santa...Cache was not so excited. He was on his lap for all of 1.5 seconds...he just wanted to run around and play.

Playing in his Buzz Lightyear tent with his aunts! Cache loves anything Toy Story.

At Grammy & Papa's house he got to play in the snow for the first time.

His new toy from Grammy & Papa! He carts the little people-blocks all over the house...yesterday I found a few in the pantry. :-)

Spongebob jammies from Mom & Dad for Christmas!

So happy about Spongebob jammies!

Cute hat baby!

JJ, Jon, & Cache at Temple Square to see the lights.

Cache just woke up so I had to be short on words, but the pictures are whats important!

Jon and Mallorie Escapades

Well Jon and I started feeling like we need to get away for awhile. Alone. Without a baby. Haha. Jon called his mom and Grandma came and stayed with Cache & we went away for the weekend. We stayed at a really nice little lodge in Jackson Hole Wyoming. We really like Jackson and it's not far from home so it's a great place to get away to.

A few pictures of our room:




The Grand Tetons....
There is a Elk refuge in Jackson that you can kinda drive through. We didn't really see any Elk up close (they were far away), but there were a ton of big horn sheep. Here is a baby...or could be it's just a really small female...I'm not really an expert on these kinds of things. I had to ask my dad what kind of animal this was...all I could think of was "ram".
Not these guys, but 3 other males were fighting over a female. They would kind of do this stare down thing and then butt heads. It was really cool.
I had the chance to practice my photography skills. Haha. (Insert Jon rolling his eyes) And I decided I really don't know how to take pictures when it's dark. But these two turned out sort of cool:
All in all we had a nice, fun, relaxing weekend. By the last day though we were really missing the little guy & we were so excited to get home to him!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

Well I debated for a long time as to whether or not I would put up a tree this year...with Cache getting into everything and all I knew there was a good possibility it would end up being a pain in the booty. We set it up anyways. Initially Cache paid NO attention to it whatsoever so I started thinking it wasn't going to be a problem. THEN he realized there was a glittery "ball" on the tree and now he can't leave the thing alone! Haha.

This is a picture I took this morning of a few Cache friendly ornaments I put on the bottom half of the tree so he could play with them, but he has been totally uninterested in those. Fortunately for him the tree has also worked out well for storing string cheese (can you see it?) as well as his tooth brush and other miscellaneous toys.

After I took that picture I realized Cache was eating something...I didn't really think anything of it until I realized it was that dried out old piece of string cheese! Sick! Hopefully he won't get sick!

Here is a little video I shot with my phone...

...and I took this video last night BEFORE the cheese was old and nasty...just FYI I wasn't trying to get his attention with a nasty piece of string cheese.
