What is up?

I know it has been a while since I have updated, I have gotten sucked into the facebook world, and find myself with less time to do anything else.
My Sisters Wedding
Stacy and AJ's wedding was wonderful. We dodged the rain, Stacy looked fabulous,the decorations were beautiful, and the food was yummy. They have been happily married for two weeks now and are in their new apartment. I am excited to see them at Christmas! For pictures of her wedding check out the mandeles blog.
Kaleb is One
My baby is also officially one year old and walking! If he is standing he will walk, but if he is on the ground he still crawls. He also has 6 teeth as of this weekend! He is really starting to enjoy playing with other children and cannot get enough of being outside. He eats everything we put in front of him (except salsa), and especially loves steamed broccoli and banana's (not together ;). He is on whole milk and has been off the bottle for a month now. His fascination for this week is anything that goes together he does over and over (opening and closing doors, cupboards, Tupperware, pens, books, etc) when outside he likes to explore bushes, flowers, and especially rocks and dirt. But he never fails to listen for planes overhead, especially at Yaya's house (grandma Mandeles). Kaleb has never been a long napper and is now down to one 1 1/2 hour nap a day, which is keeping me on my toes. he had such a special spirit and loves to give hugs to those who love him.
What is Matt up to?
Matt is keeping busy. He is in the ninth inning of his applications for his masters program. We have finally decided to apply to three schools, University of Utah in SLC, Denver CO, and Seattle WA. His portfolio is done and thanks to family is under revision. So all he has left is letters of recommendation, which he is getting today ;) We pray everyday that he will get into at least one of the schools so he can continue his education. Although it has been nice having him home in the evenings, I know it will be better in the long run.
Playing
Among all these exciting things we have still found some time to play. Last weekend, Kaleb and I went quad running outside of boulder city for the day with Yaya and papous (my parents) My parents have a razor that Kaleb and I with Yaya rode in, Kaleb decided it would be a good time to take a nap :0 It was a blast!
Twilight
Matt also reluctantly agreed to see Twilight with me and my parents on Friday. I loved it! They followed the book as close as they could. I loved Bella's character, but was not too happy with Edward, he came off more cocky in the movie then in the book. the sceanery was beautiful! The only thing that would have made the experiance better was if all the teenage girls would keep their excitment to themselves, they laughed at not funny parts and wooped with excitment at the romantic parts, it made the movie feel a little cheezy.
Family
I feel so lucky to have such a great family! With Stacy's wedding we got to see everyone again. And this weekend, matt's brother and family came in town to visit so we got together and celebrated the November birthdays. And the holidays have just begun! It is fun just visiting and catching up. But even better is listening as the children play together. i just hope and pray the Matt and I will always have the means to visit with family often when we move away. That will definatly be something that I will greatly miss, having family close.

Thanks for reading, I hope I have not bore you to death. Hope all is well with you!

PS Sorry for the loud obnoxious music, it appeared with the slide show of kalebs birthday party, and i am not sure how to got there or how to get it off, so i hope it leaves when it is not on the front page anymore ;) if anyone knows how, let me know, Thanks!
