Back in Rexburg!

Okay, So I NEVER thought that I would be so happy to be back in Rexburg, ID. It is difficult to relay the experiences we went through while living with Steve's Grandma Kofoed in Blackfoot. Let's just suffice it to say, Two women cannot live under the same roof.

Well we are back in Rexburg and we are loving it. At least I am. I think my family is too. Caleb is no longer sharing a room with us. It is warm enough here that he doesn't have to do that anymore. Which makes Steve happy. And me. Our apartment is very nice. We live very close to some of our friends and I go over there alot to play on her Wii. Which I like and Steve likes that I can go out and have some fun. He isn't a fan of the internet here because he can't play his video games very well online. Which stinks for him, but I am like, "Awwww, thats too bad honey." HEHEHEHEHE. We don't have our television yet, so I am stuck watching shows online. Which isn't my favorite thing to do. All of our stuff is being stored at our friends house under it actually, in a storage place. And we are getting it today. So, no pots and pans or silverware or anything for the past about week. Which is EXTREMELY difficult to do when you are trying to be on a diet. Seriously. So I have a hold on my diet until I can cook again. I know, probably not the best idea but it's what it is.

Caleb went in for his 6 month check up on Wednesday. He weighs 17.4 pounds and is 25.5 inches long. He is in the 49% for his weight, the 18% for his height, and the 8% for his head size. SO I have a short and chubby baby. So it isn't necessarily that he is a chunk, but that he is short so he looks like a chunk. LOL. I don't know, it sounds better to me. He definitely doesn't have a Nelson head, which is good on his part. He was blessed. We are trying to feed him sitting up now so that he can eat with us at the table when he is a little older. Well, Life is good. Hopefully I will see you all soon!

Life in Blackfoot

So as you all probably know, we are no longer living in Rexburg and are no longer managing apartments. We were told we needed to be out of our house in 3 days (over the weekend), and so we asked Steve's grandmother if we could stay with her at her house in Blackfoot, Idaho. So here we are until we can find another job.

So the job hunt is on. We haven't had much of any luck yet. Steve has an interview with Quest tomorrow in Idaho Falls. Hopefully, he will get that job. We will find out tomorrow if he got it or not. I really really, REALLY hope that he does. I could go for that. I am still having trouble getting comfortable at his grandmothers house. We are freezing at night because we are living in the basement, but I am very, very grateful that she opened up her house to us. It was very nice of her. Plus, once you start living along, you get used to a certain way of living and a certain routine that you do. So I don't blame her for getting upset sometimes that we disrupt that. She is wonderful, and I love her.

I am excited for tomorrow. Okay, Caleb. He can sit up on his own for short periods of time now. He can roll over all the way now. He has only done it from his belly to his back a couple of times, but he has still done it. He is eating solid foods now! I finally got him to eat it, but mostly through a syringe rather than a spoon. He is still having problems with the spoon, so I hope I am not hindering him by feeding him through the syringe.

Well I got to go. It is bedtime, and I have to work out in the morning. My legs are soooo sore. I hope that this will help me lose the weight. Love Ya!

Caleb giggles!

Don't judge Steve too harshly by this video. As those of you know, you will do anything to get your little ones to giggle. This is just too cute, I hope you like it. Enjoy!

By the way, I love you and I look forward to showing off our new car to you soon.

Update...

Okay, Lets see whats going on since we wrote last. At Caleb's 2 month doctor appointment, ya know the one where he gets all the shots, he weighed in at 11.2 pounds and 22.8 inches long. He is growing fast. He has started the making spit bubbles stage. He doesn't know how he is doing it yet, he just does it. He loves to stand up with help of course. He is talking a lot more now. And finally learning how to smile. He does it then I think he forgets how to do it. But then when he figures it out he is very smiley. He loves his baths now. He splashes a little in the water and cries when I take him out. I am following mom's advice and letting him be naky for 15-30 minutes each day after I bath and lotion him up to help with diaper rash. He likes being naked. He loves his monkey toy. He follows it with his eyes and head when I play with him. He would rather look at the monkey than his mommy. But that is okay as long as he is learning. Questions? I can't think of anything else that he is doing right now. That is new anyways.

Okay, Now the older Kofoed news. Ummmm..... Steve and I are trying to go a week without television or video games. He has been getting distracted too much and having to stay up late doing homework which is never good. The staying up late part not the homework part, although that does stink. I am going back to school part time starting on February 22, 2010. I qualify for grants but no scholarships. That is okay with me. Work is going good. We are sometimes sick of it, but we get over those times. Steve loves playing with Caleb when Caleb decides to play back. It is snowing here in Rexburg, Idaho. It always is right? Hopefully it will stop soon so we can have the Spring. I look forward to that. We are planning to come and visit all you in Utah come April around graduation time. Hopefully we will be able to get a new car while we are down there. Well, have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Love,

Sara, Steve, and Caleb

The Jonas & Caleb Movie

ok. the reason this is called The Jonas & Caleb Movie is because Jonas is on the left. if Caleb ws on the left, I would have called it the Caleb & Jonas Movie. . . this starts out dark, but gets better in a minute. the boys are way cute, but the background noise is too funny. we are the weirdest people on the planet sometimes. you can hear Cannon playing with the dog as well as all of us talking. . .and proof that Steve did go & get salt :)

Jonas's blessing

Grandma & Jonas -- isn't he so cute?! and where did he get that cute suit?

Christmas with the frogs--everyone else is playing connect 4 x 4 & I get the frog :)

now, I realize this isn't Jonas' blessing, but what a cute family ! & I didn't get a picture of all of them in texas on sunday :) so here it is.

this is right after Joe gave him his blessing. . .the 2 Joes :)

Grandma & Cannon sharing golfish during the blessings. (& right after) we like eating sideways.
