CARS 2

We saw CARS 2 with my Dad yesterday! Super cute movie. Loved it. Can't decide if I liked it better than the first one...

3 Months old!!!

I can't believe she is 3 months old! Callie is so smiley and happy all the time! She loves any and all attention she gets, and has recently started to giggle. Ron is the best at getting her to laugh. I LOVE it!

We have nicknamed her Bubbles. This girl always has bubbles coming out of her mouth!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Ronnie!

I read somewhere once that a house wife is worth approximately $140,000 a year. This includes the average household jobs that mothers perform; i.e. laundry, day care, housekeeping... etc. I am sure that my husband is worth 10 times that much. Not only does he take good care of us by going to work and providing for us but he performs all kinds of tasks and jobs at home.

His is really good at the "Honey-Do" list. We are very fortunate to have such a talented man like Ron in our home. He is very handy around the house. Whether it's fixing things like removing tree roots involved in a plumbing problem or re-tiling the whole house Ronnie has done it all! (In my opinion!) I thought it would be fun to post pictures of a few projects Ron has done over the years!

We had only been married a couple years when he decided to re tile our home. I remember asking him nervously, "Are you sure you can do this all yourself?" He had never tiled anything before. He just bought a DVD instructional video at Home Depot on tiling and did a little research on the internet and went to work. He is so good at figuring things out.

While I do appreciate the many talents and abilities that Ron has, I mostly admire his character, the person he is. I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for Ronnie. He's a wonderful Father to our children (there's a reason they like him better than me!), and an amazing husband. (Oh and he's a great kisser!!! LOL! He is going to die when he sees that I wrote that!)

Seriously, I am so grateful to have such a man to share my life with and raise my children with.

Happy Father's Day Ronnie! We love you!

Faler Family Reunion 2011

Our annual Faler Family Reunion was last week. We went camping about 50 miles north of Payson at the Moqui Campground.

Callie was WONDERFUL on this trip. I was very nervous taking a 2 month old camping but she is just like her brothers and LOVES the outdoors! She slept great at night and was for the most part a very happy baby! On Saturday afternoon she laid in the tent for almost an hour, totally happy, smiling, and talking to herself. Supercute!

What is camping with out throwing rocks into a lake?! Mason and Noah could do this for days and days!!!!

And YES he almost jumped in!

Mason was fascinated with the water pump thing, and thought it was a great place to get a drink. Thank goodness is was potable water!

Ron's parents were gracious enough to let us borrow their quads. All the kids sure enjoyed riding them and couldn't wait for their turns! I wish I would have taken more pictures on the quads. At one point I was following Ron who had Mason, Josh and Corbin on the back of his quad. All three boys turned and looked at me. Words can't express the COMPLETE look of JOY they all had on their faces! I wish I would've had my camera!!!!! I'll have that mental picture for years.

Cousin Amelia was so sweet to Noah! She followed him around and played with him a lot. She must have pitched the ball to him a thousand times!

My Dad brought his projector and we got to watch Tangled under the stars!

We celebrated my Dad's Birthday. I love this picture of almost all the Grandkids!

To the Man who started this all: Happy Birthday Dad-Grandpa-Uncle! We love you!

The last day most of the Family had already packed up and gone home. We stayed and took a family hike.

I love how adventurous my boys are!

2 months old!

I can't believe Callie is 2 months old. She is tons of fun. Poor thing, I think I have way too much fun dressing her up and accessorizing! She's probably going to eventually be the biggest tomboy and one day not let me dress her up. So I need to enjoy it while I can.

Callie is a happy baby. She smiles a lot and LOVES to be held (a little too much!) She nurses good. Which is surprising for me. I've never had a baby that prefers me over the bottle. I think that is pretty neat but sometimes it would be nice to occasionally bottle feed her. She can roll over from her tummy to her back. She is really responding to voices and loves when you talk to her.
She's a very good sleeper. Right now she gives me a good 6 hours of sleep a night! (She sleeps better than the boys!) Maybe I'll finally get one child that sleeps in past 5:30am!

Mason and Noah absoluetly LOVE their baby sister. They are constantly giving her kisses and hugs. And they ALWAYS want her to be by them. They also are always showing her things and talking to her. All day long it's "Baby Callie this..." or "Baby Callie that..." or "Hi! Baby Callie." It's adorable. I had the hardest time finding a baby swimsuit. (They don't make very many new born size swimsuits.) Thanks to my sister Maddy we got this one.

I couldn't wait to try it on her.

All Boyz Hip Hop Dance Class

Ok. I know what you are thinking... Boys Hip Hop Dance class?!?! It was pretty much just a fun way for Mason to burn off a little energy.

My friend Lindsey told me about this class offered through Gilbert Parks and Recreation. All Boyz Hip Hop Dance for 4-5 year old boys. We both laughed about it at first and said that there was no way our husbands would let us put our boys in the class. Well, later when I talked to Ron about the class I kinda omitted the name and type of class that it was. Ron assuming it was some sports class said we could put him in it! A couple weeks later when Ron was playing with my phone he saw an email that was titled "All Boys Hip Hop Dance". Luckily we were in church when he saw this on my phone so he couldn't really get mad! :) After church Ron and I laughed about it, but I think next time Ron will ask for more details. :)

Mason really liked this class. Not only was his best friend Colter in it but he got to run around and be crazy! The last day of the class they had a recital. Each boy got a 15 sec. solo dance, then they had a free style dance with all boys, and last they played the game FREEZE with Adults and children. Noah really liked this game! Joyce (my mother-in-law) leaned over to me and said that maybe I put the wrong kid in the class. I think she may have been right! I should have put Noah in the class (except he wasn't old enough). He had so much fun dancing and moving to the music.

Addison and Mason. She was AWESOME! Tons of patience!


Mason and Colter! The dynamic duo!



We need to work on Noah's "FREEZING" skills! Hilarious!

Callie's Baby Blessing!

Sunday, May 1, 2011

Callie was blessed today! What a great experience. It's always hard to time things with nursing babies. Church was at 12:30pm so it was kinda nice to have all morning to get the boys ready and Callie dressed. Babies always seem to have a mind of their own when it comes to feeding time! I tried to feed her at 12 but she didn't eat too great or very long.

When we got to church she was a little fussy. So I took her to the mother's lounge to try and feed her some more. I was thinking I had enough time since they still had to do announcements in church and pass the sacrament. WRONG! Luckily my sister Maryann came with me to see if she could help with anything. We were sitting in the mother's lounge chitchatting while I was feeding Callie and we were listening to the announcements from the speaker system in our room.

Maryann and I talked about how funny it would be if they called Callie up to be blessed and she wasn't even in there. Haha really funny. I told Maryann we had at least 10mins. because they have to pass the sacrament first. Just then we heard "And now we'll have the blessing of Ron and Shelly Huber's Baby. Callie Michelle Huber." Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Maryann and I both froze! I practically threw Callie at Maryann and told her to run. Then I adjusted my clothes and ran after her! Poor Ron was in the Chapel with a slightly panicked look on his face.

Thankfully we made it and Callie was blessed. It was such a beautiful prayer. My favorite part was when Ron blessed her to have a good relationship with her mother! I almost cried. I think it's a pretty common fear for parents to worry that their children might not like them. I know I do, which is why it was really comforting to hear her be blessed with that.

We weren't able to get any individual pictures with her in her dress. But I'm definitely going to have her pictures taken in her dress again sometime soon.
