6th grade dance
I found these pictures of Caleb on a little friend's facebook page. Of course I had to steal them and post them on my blog! This was the 6th grade end of year dance. The kids learned like 15 different dances and had to dance each one with a different girl. Caleb was more excited than he would ever admit. He's a ladies man at heart.
Anyway, they made me smile, so enjoy!

Life at the Call's
So what have the Call's been up to lately? Glad you asked.
Well, let's start with birthday parties for two girlies....
First, Clara turned 2. Where has the time gone? Chris asked, "Are we really going to have pictures of our daughter opening presents in a ONESIE and pajama bottoms?" Yes, honey, we really are.
She was thrilled to get a new Barbie.
Then Isabelle turned 10 and had a big "Fashion Show" birthday. This was seriously the best party ever. Everybody had a fabulous time. We invited all of her dance friends and I dare-say, they know how to "work it" on the red carpet. A little bit scary, actually.
Striking a pose on the "red carpet". See what I mean about scary?
We hiked up to Donut Falls one afternoon. So enjoyable!
The kiddos
Looking down at those of us who didn't go to the top. Namely Clara and me.
Getting back to school. You would never know it from this photo, but Eli was probably the most excited one of all for the first day. Eli-Kindergarte, Isabelle-4th, Jonah-2nd. And I never did get a picture of Caleb's first day of junior high.
Hamburgers and a Bee's game
Ward movie night on the lawn! Good times with fun neighbors.
This little girl got TIRED and GRUMPY and ended up falling asleep in my arms shortly after this picture was taken.
Happy Isabelle at the annual Foster Family Picnic
The Foster Family
Yes, Clara is still about as cute as they make them!
This is what Clara does...collects animals and creatures and princesses and dollys and Barbies. She made this line-up herself and then sat on the stairs for a good 20 minutes with her collection, doing...nothing. Just sitting with them.
Poor Caleb had his teeth pulled. Look at those roots!! Painful! And disgusting!
Aaaah, the cotton. Not fun.
Maizy got a haircut and looks silly.
We are happy and healthy and doing well! Over and out!

A little help from my friends!
Okay, so here it is: I CANNOT lose weight. What the heck is my problem? I have a serious lack of will power and day after day I decide to "start tomorrow". That obviously never happens and a new tomorrow comes and goes with zero success. I have been thinking and thinking, what can I do that will MOTIVATE me to actually lose my weight?
Well, I think I may have thought of something.
First, let me explain a few things. I HATE getting dressed. I HATE, hate, hate waking up in the morning and knowing that I will not look fabulous no matter what I decide to put on. I am completely uncomfortable in my own skin. There are chubby parts everywhere...I am very aware of it and it makes me very self-concious. Also, I never, ever, ever buy the cute clothes that I so desire, because I don't want to buy them in the size I am now. Remember, I'm always going to start "tomorrow". So, again, I never look as fabulous as I know I should :) I always buy what is on sale, which is usually not my style or anything I love. Dangit, NO MORE!!!!!
Here is my plan: I will be gung-ho for 60 days, exercise and diet. I will gain some control and prove to myself that I am not a weak little schmuck. I am quite sure that once I am in this routine, it will become permanent, with the occassional delicious slip-up. All things in moderation (after the 60 days of course), right?
I am going to have a weekly weigh-in and post it here. I will also post how often I exercised, which hopefully will be at least five times per week.
Please friends, help me along. DO NOT INVITE ME to a spectacular restaurant, or even a crappy restaurant. Hold off for two months. I need to build up my will power a bit before being able to say no. So just don't ask!!!
This is much needed for me. It is my biggest vice right now (and has been for years) and I intend on conquering it. My self confidence needs it!!
Starting today....! Weight post coming this evening. Yikes, embarrassing.
