What a GREAT post! Even better that you did it while also listening to BYU BEAT utah!!!
We love you, Super Cal! You are one amazing kid - we're sure glad Heavenly Father chose us to be your family.
love, dad
What an amazing boy he is. Cal is so fun to be around. Felicia and I still talk about when you guys stayed the night and when we got to ride to Burley and back with you. Caleb kept us all entertained. It's going to be so interesting watching him grow and seeing what he does with his great desire and talent to know and understand. So happy to have you as a nephew Cal!
I LOVE that last picture of him- so grown up. What a sweet reminder of all the things that make him who he is. Great job Mom!
