Kohl's Childrens Museum

Today we went to the museum with Erin, Kira, Jenna, mom and Olivia. Jackson enjoyed all the baby sections.
The girls loved the Clifford exhibit.

Caleb's favorite part was grocery shopping.

This morning we went for a run and both kids fell asleep way before nap time!

Caleb and I enjoyed a Starbucks at Target while Jackson slept in the baby seat. If you ask Caleb what kind of coffee he likes, he'll say "decaf."

LANDS END! My dads mother is a big fan of the Lands End 'Squall' jacket. She bought Caleb one to match my dads and Jackson is wearing Kendalls old snowsuit. I knew I had to get a picture before they outgrew them.

A Mecher Party

Here is Jackson and my Grandma Mecher.

Jackson, Samantha, Tommy and Adam (3 of my first cousins on my dad's side).

The Condaps are in town!

Jackson is standing

So, I don't even know if I've posted that Jackson is crawling. He is a man on the move and now he is able to pull himself up on things and will try to stand on pretty much anything. Here are just a few examples...






He was standing in his crib...so we had to lower it! Such a big boy.

cooking and puppet show

Caleb really enjoys cooking with me. Here we are making a chocolate cake. Caleb got a new apron for Christmas from the Louria's, you can't see it but it says his name on the front!
For Christmas Kyle and Jenny bought the boys puppets and a stage. Caleb really enjoys playing with it and making funny voices. A regular conversation would go like this... "hey monkey, do you want to go to the YMCA?" "Here we are at the YMCA."

Here is Jackson in the big Christmas mug (a first Christmas tradition). Doesn't he look so big?

Marble Works with Papa...what more could Caleb ask for?

Random Christmas Camp Pictures

My tall brothers and I.

Linnea, Courtney, Chrissy, Jane and Sara helping with pizza night...I didn't do very much.

CHEESE!

Merry Christmas from the Stroms

We are finally all caught up! I just posted pictures from Christmas and Christmas Camp at Covenant Point. Get comfy and enjoy these pictures because our camera is broken for now.

The Chuck Brunch

These pictures are funny because almost every meal Caleb and Grayden would want to eat together. They would start out fine and then ultimately end up back with their parents. But on the last day, the last meal, they sat together eating all the delicious food and pastries.
