I seriously don't know where the time goes. Things seem to be happening quite quickly around here. On Wednesday Tom takes his last test for the semester and I'm so excited for that and so is he, as you can imagine. He gets a week and a half off before he starts his clinics. I have so many "projects" I want to work on with him while he's around, we'll see what actually gets done though.

And in a few weeks JoDee's family is going to be coming through and stopping off for a visit. We are super excited for that, I'm thrilled to see my nieces and hang out with them. I'm hoping we'll be able to do something fun, like go to the zoo out in Omaha with them and see Winter Quarters.

For some reason Spring seems to be packed with events and get togethers that seem never ending. It's kind of nice to be kept busy and I did not jinx myself and attended no doctor's appointments this past week, which was a wonderful relief. Although we'll be making it up next week! And the boys are getting so close to being done with their school year, which kind of freaks me out, because they are restless little men and will want to be entertained all summer by me. We'll have to figure something out!

Here are some pictures I've been taking of Caleb the past week. He's so cute and seems to be getting so big. He's becoming more and more of a little person each day and has started cooing at Tom and I, it seriously melts my heart. I don't know what's wrong with me, I've never been such a sucker for a cute face before!
He's so darn cute and I can't wait to see what he weighs next week. He seems huge to me, but then I have to remind myself that he's still wearing newborn clothes, so he hasn't grown that much, but he's definitely grown!

So this is the new thing he does, he sticks out his tongue all the time. I tried to get a good picture of him doing it, but this was the best one. Usually he'll stick it all the way out down his chin, and it's the oddest thing, kind of freaks me out, but it's beyond adorable at the same time.

Here are the big boys. A friend in my ward gave me a suit that her little boy had grown out of, and Talin was so excited to receive it. He's wanted a church suit for a very long time, but we've never been able to afford one, so I was so happy to receive this for him. He was very proud of how he looked on Sunday and spent a lot of time admiring himself in the mirror. And Collin is just happy that I let him pick out his own outfits every week. I was actually surprised he didn't have a problem with Talin wearing a new suit and him not having one. Soon enough it will be his though.
These two boys are so much fun lately, absolute stinkers, but fun. The other day Talin turned to me and says, "Mom, I think Collin is stronger than me and could probably beat me up if he wanted to." I just laughed and agreed in my head, because Collin will no doubt pass up Talin in size before too long.

And Caleb has turned into his father's child in the evenings. I still am not sleeping a ton with this boy throughout the night, so I fall asleep early or just go to bed by nine. While Tom stays up and takes care of his little man. Although Caleb has been a little bit of a nightmare from seven until ten each night, I don't know what's going on with him, but he fusses and doesn't want to eat and just yells at us. Hopefully this is just a stage that will pass.

Okay, Tom does this freaky thing with Caleb and makes him walk like he's a little man, and it seriously freaks me out. I don't know why, but I feel like I can visualize him walking on his own for real and how bizarre that would really be. I have an insane imagination, just go with me on this one.

Wouldn't you be terrified if this little person walked into the living room on his own?
