I decided to take down Caleb's nursery bedding today. But I didn't want to do so until I had taken a few pictures of it for memory sake. My mom bought it for him two weeks before he was born. Thanks Mom!

After Cory came home the boys took a shower together and as Daddy shaved his face Caleb wanted to do the same. He rubbed the foam all over his cheeks and neck and then washed it off. He kept his mouth closed (luckily) so we let him put the shaving cream on his face and then rinse it off again and again. I could tell he felt like he was a very BIG boy.

Cory met an inactive family this year that really touched him, Terry and Linda Collins. They were a sweet family that had lost touch with the things that were really important and as they face real hardships they looked for answers. Cory helped them move today. They were moving to a place where Linda's brother would be closer to the hospital that would perform the kidney transplant he desperately needed should one become available. Also in the last month they lived in Bakersfield Linda's husband suffered two strokes making him unable to see and work. Coincidently the hospital that Linda's brother would be near also had the technology Terry needed to get the physical therapy he now needed. Because of our experiences with them our testimony of Tithing grew.

Connie and I drove to Woody's for lunch with the Randall men to celebrate Connie's 29th birthday. Jerry surprised Connie with a pair of beautiful diamond earrings. We stayed a little long but Cory wasn't too worried... Jerry's his boss!

We drove to Dodger Stadium today for an early afternoon game. I know what you're thinking: Must have been nice and cool. Well you are wrong. It was 103! In LA! This is the 3rd annual CBIZ Dodger game. Cory is in charge of this every year, and he loves it. Do you see all those empty seats? That's because it was too HOT to sit in the sun for very long. Eventually Cory and Caleb came up under the shade with the rest of us, but I know my husband (who bleeds Dodger blue) would have loved to stay down on the field. Did I mention we had great seats? Well we had great seats! 
Under the shade we began the cooling process eventually Caleb's shirt came off and we used a friends mister to keep him cool and wet. He really liked getting wet from the mister, can't you tell? p.s. I'm th kind of Mom that is very concerned with temperature. The heat affects me terribly and this makes me extra fussy about Caleb's temp. I am always giving him something to drink, keeping him in the shade and getting him wet with a rag or spray bottle. When ever I see kids with red flushed cheeks and not drinking anything I get worried. I always think, "They are going to get sick."
Anyway, Cory and I shared a Dodger dog (but he went a little crazy with the mustard ) and the "compliemtary" cups of ice water. We stayed almost until the end and then drove home talking.

After the Crawford's left and Cory got home from work we went to our church building and hung out for a night of fun. Cory and Caleb moved the basketball nets down, and warmed up together with some stretching. The two of them ran around the cultural hall together and when Cory shot some hoops Caleb played with as many Nursery toys as he could pull out of the closet. It wouldn't have been a better night.

Donny and Michelle called us a few days ago and said they were going through Bakersfield and wanted to stop by. I was so excited to see Michelle and her son Aaron (Donny too of course). We met at Cory's work and then drove to Connie's for lunch and a talking. It was so awesome. We met Donny and Michelle at BYUH and we quickly became best friends. I love Michelle. She makes we want to be a better person just because I know her.
