Future Stud

He's got some "filling out" to do, but you're looking at the future Boone all-state power forward!

Christmas

We had an AMAZING Christmas weekend here at the Bartlett house! Grandpa & Grandma Lesher came over from Missouri Valley & Aunt Tami came from Wisconsin to celebrate. We went to Great Aunt Susan's house on Christmas Eve, church on Christmas morning, Christmas with the Lesher's in Woolstock on Christmas Day, Des Moines on Monday, and relaxing and enjoying family time the rest of the weekend. That was a pretty quick recap of the holiday weekend, but here's a TON of pictures from all the fun.

Opening presents at Aunt Suzie's.

After Aunt Sue's we stopped by Great Grandma Carol's to open stockings.


Christmas morning!

This is definitely NOT Caleb's 3-wheeler!

Happy Birthday Nana Mary

Christmas Eve was Grandma Mary's birthday too. It sounds like she was spoiled with dinner & a movie. Even though we couldn't help her celebrate, we will throw her a party this weekend when she comes to visit over New Year's! Sorry it's late, but Happy Birthday Nana.....Love, Caleb!

15 Months

Caleb celebrated his 15 month birthday on Christmas Eve. Here's the big guy on his bday.



The poor guy had a rough birthday morning when he tangled with a door frame. But he came out of it after some hugs and kisses from his momma.



Lately he's been getting really good at identfying objects that he wants with sign or words. He basically runs anywhere he wants to go and has left the crawling phase in the dust. He is a very happy and easy baby, which makes a happy mom & dad!

Creepin

Resting Up

Caleb is gathering all his strength for a very busy Christmas weekend!

Christmas Shopping

We all went out Sunday to finish up our Christmas shopping.

Here's Caleb & Andy with a giant Santa outside of Lowe's. You just might see this Santa in our yard next year!!!


Caleb was having a blast in Wal-Mart too wearing his dad's sunglasses and making everyone who saw him laugh!!!

Elmo Dance

Caleb & Elmo dancing to the ABC's.

Deer Camp 2011

Last weekend was Andy's annual trek to eastern Iowa for deer camp. The whole group was there this year, and we had a blast! We shot 10 deer as a group, and here's some pics from the camp.

The group with a big doe shot out of Moosehead.


Tired after a long drive.


Good ol' Mitch was pretty wore out on Saturday he could barely keep watch!


Scott's big doe.


Seth's big doe.



Some of the Sunday night shenanigans. Seth & Mitch posing with "The Hamburglar".

Story Time

Last Christmas Grandma Mary recorded a story book for Caleb. It is Frosty the Snowman and she sang the whole thing too! And this year, it's Caleb's favorite book. He pretty much reads/listens to it every night!!! Thanks Grandma!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Bartlett!!

Thanksgiving

We headed east this year for Thanksgiving and spent the long weekend at Grandma Mary's. We had a great time with lots of good times with family & friends.

Here's Trish & Grandma Mary with their very festive "turkey" cheese balls.

 

Caleb took a liking to the empty paper towel rolls. He'd use them as a megaphone and yell into one end. Here he is yelling at Grandma to get some stuff done!

 

While we were there Caleb celebrated his 14 month birthday! He's getting to be such a little man. His vocabulary is expanding too with favorite words now like "shoes, kitty, Bob, uh-oh, and Oh Yeah".

 

Of course there was lots of cuddle time for Caleb & Grandma!

 

PooP

So I left Caleb buck naked in his crib tonight as I got his bath ready. As I walked in to the room to get him, I hear him straining and grunting as he always does when he goes poop! I quick snatched him up and noticed he had piddled a little bit on the floor! It wasn't until after the bath when I walked back into his room, that I noticed this little present that he dropped on the way to the bath!!!!!

 

Hello Hello

Caleb picked up Trish's phone tonight & the first thing he does is put it to his ear!

Before we know it he'll be doing simple multiplication!  Sorry the picture's blurry, this kid won't ever stay still!

Too Funny

This picture was too funny NOT to post!!!!

 

Happy Halloween!

We took Caleb out trick-or-treating tonight for the first time ever! He was dressed as a little monkey and was the cutest kid in town! Minutes before leaving the house Mom & Dad decided to throw some costumes on as well. Here's the Bartlett Family - aka Albert Pujols, little Monkey, and Kitty Kat!

 

We turn our heads for one second and the little monkey was in the tree!

 

We ran into Caleb's best friend from daycare, Liam (aka- Mr. Elephant).

 

 

When we got home, we lit Caleb's pumpkin and had some candy!

 

Happy Halloween everyone!!!!

Day at the Farm

Today we went with Grandma Mary to our new property to hang out, ride the 4-wheeler, and have some lunch. It was a bit windy and a little cold, but we stayed & had fun for a couple hours.

Caleb turned the bed of the truck into his personal playpen!

 

 

Mommy did all of the gutting, Dad just jumped in to make it look like he helped!!!

 

Caleb managed to get loose from the truck and ran all over the place!

 

Of course Dad did a little Timber Stand Improvement while we were there too. What a man!

 

All in all, it was a nice Sunday. Thanks for coming to visit Grandma, we had a lot of fun!
