Gunderson Adventures.... where all 6 of Us live life to the fullest!

Caleb had his first check up today! He weighed in at 11 lbs. 14 oz.! He was in the 33% for his weight and 65% for height. Our little guy is doing great! He loved Dr. Stone and smiled at him the whole time while he got checked out. The shots they gave him were a bummer, but he seems to be doing well with Tylenol! Here are some shots of Caleb today when him and I were hanging out together. Oh how I love the baby stage! I think I could have a dozen of these little ones! I just wish it didn't go by so fast! Hard to believe he is almost 3 months old. I love you Caleb!! Love-Mommy

Caleb James is already 9 weeks old! He weighed in at 10 lbs. 13 oz. last week! It is amaizing how fast they grow (birth weight was 7lbs. 5oz.). Caleb is growing and doing new and silly things everyday. We are learning so much about our little guy. He loves to watch Andrew and Micah play while he sits back and swings. Caleb also loves to smile and coo at us! He is such a delight to us all. We laugh at him when he really gets talking to us because he looks like he is really telling us something important. He has really BIG smiles and loves when we kiss his cheeks! Andrew calls him his sweetheart and Micah loves to give him kisses in the morning. Mommy and daddy love to snuggle him when Andrew and Micah go to sleep. We are sad that he is growing so fast, but enjoying every new moment with him. When Caleb is content in his car seat we just let him hang out in there. Sometimes he watches us eat supper right in his car seat! We love this shot of Caleb as he looks so alert and ready to tel...

We are having a great summer with our boys! We went to Family Camp with our church family at the end of July and had a nice time! Though the weather was a little on the cold side we still managed to get the boys to go tubing with us! Andrew and Micah were way brave and went twice overall! Once it rained on the boys while they were out on the lake! Ouch! While we were at camp the boys had fun running around without mom or dad and feeling the freedom! They of course loved hanging out with their friend and babysitter Paige who always makes the boys feel special. Their other "big kid" friends that were at camp were Bailey, TJ, Josh, Tyler, Catherine and Ames. Our boys are blessed to hang out with the older kids from the youth group. I guess this is one of the many perks to serving in Youth Ministry! Bluewater Covenant Bible Camp has a beautiful beach. Micah loved getting dirty in the sand! He also loved eating sandy fruit snacks while playing too! Andrew loved grabbing the snack...

Hi friends and family! We hope this finds you having a great summer as well despite the crazy weather! It is hard for us to believe we are almost entering August! It feels like fall! Anyway, we thought we would send you a quick update before we leave town tomorrow for our churches annual camp weekend at Bluewater Covenant Camp. Last week the boys and I headed south to the cities for a wonderful week with grandma and grandpa, nana and gg and other family and friends. I was shocked that all three boys did awesome in the car ride! What wonderful little men I have. Meanwhile Kyle took 38 students to CHIC in Tennessee during this time and had a great experience worshipping God, learning more about Christ, and learning how to apply it to their current relationship with Him. It is always so awesome to hear how many kids see things in their lives that need refining. Way cool to be apart of the lives of teenagers! Sadly however I did not take ANY pictures last week in the cities. I think I was...

Our auntie Sara and niece Callie came to visit us from Montana! We had so much fun playing with Callie on the trampoline and water slide! Andrew and Micah also had fun going to parks, Mcdonalds and having two sleepovers with their special cousin. Callie is 7 years old and was a great help with the boys and loved holding baby Caleb. She even helped give the boys a bath! Callie is a great big cousin and was always willing to share toys, push Micah on the swing and make us all laugh. We love our little Callie so much! We were so thankful that they made such a long drive to stop in and see us! Auntie Sara brought fun July 4th crafts and the boys took their pom poms to the parade today! Sara played with the kids on the trampoline, at the park and snuggled with baby Caleb lots! She was a lot of help to me around the house. Sara is such a great auntie to us.

This week has been much cooler than last week. We have been hangin' inside this week loving our little Caleb and enjoying the boys. Andrew and Micah have had fun giving Caleb kisses and laughing at him as he makes silly faces and loves listening to us singing. Micah and I made star cookies for the 4th of July this weekend! Andrew got a hold of the camera and took a picture of us! Take a peak at our little photographer! We are hoping the weather warms up so we can put out our water slide and go to the beach again. For now, we will continue to hang out inside and wait for the sunshine...

Caleb had his 2 week check up this morning. He weighed in at 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 21 inches long. We were thankful that his jaundice level came down and that all seems to be going great for our little guy. Caleb has transitioned quite well in our home. He has created a nice all night schedule for us. So far we are routinely up at 2:00Am, 6:00Am, and then again at 9:00AM. It hasn't been all that bad for us. It is nice that he falls asleep after his 6:00 feeding so that I can get a shower in quick, feed Andrew and Micah breakfast and get them dressed and then Caleb wakes for breakfast and his bath. As you all know, the teacher in me strives for routine and schedule. So, I am doing well with Mr. Caleb. He took his first bottle this week! I am hoping for a few girl get a ways and thankful he is able to take a bottle so early! I figure one bottle feeding a day won't hurt him! And it gives me a little break. Kyle is enjoying this snuggle time as well! The other two boys are doing we...
