Time Marches On

I can't believe how fast time flies. I ran into an old friend today at the mall and it was crazy to think we had kids let alone that my baby girl is almost three! It blows my mind. In light of this thought I took some really cute pictures of my kiddies the other day and I wanted to post them. They both look so big to me in these pictures, even since the last post I did.

Happy Birthday Dee Dee

Today is my mom's birthday! Happy birthday mom. I hope you had a great day. I love you, thanks for all you do. You are a great mom and a wonderful Grandma. Thank you for your example and determination to do what is right. I am so blessed to have a mom like you!

CHRISTMAS VILLAGE

So for family night on Monday we went to Christmas Village in Ogden and saw the lights and talked with Santa. Normally Riley is terrified of Santa. She was freaking out a little while waiting in line but when we got inside I think she could tell there was no where for her to escape to, leaving her only option to sit on his lap and get that candy cane! Now she loves him. She loved the lights and was so much fun, she ran from one display to the other she couldn't get enough. I love that she enjoyed it so much it makes me want to do more fun things with her!

Boston's Blessing Day

On Sunday we blessed Boston. It was such a nice day and we had a great time with our family and friends. Although, my basement isn't quite as big as I think when you get a whole bunch of people in there! Thanks to everyone for your support. Here are some cute pics of him in his darling blessing outfit. Also, Boston is named after his uncle Nate who passed away 12 years ago in a car accident. He was Jason's older brother and the oldest child in their family he was only 16. It is very special to us that Boston get's to carry on his name. For a present Jason's mom brought us a small blue blanket with a note on it. Coming to find out it was Nates blanket. Very very special. Thanks Robyn, it is very special and we will hold it very dear.

Miss Independent

Riley has recently decided that she can do anything and everything on her own without my help. It is really frustrating for me because I like to be in control of EVERYTHING. Well, she won't let me she throws an absolute fit. In this particular picture it took her ten minutes to get into her jammies...talk about annoying. I am learning some patience though so it is good for me. I had to take a picture because she was so determined that she was going to do it, she wouldn't even let me help her when she got stuck! She's so darn cute.

Boston's Announcement

Okay so I do have this picture to put on. They turned out just perfect and I love them. So here it is.

Grandparents

After having lost both of my grandpa's this month I am realizing how lucky I was to have such great grandparents. I only hope that I can make them proud and live up to the standart they set. Anyway...I am hopefully going to be coming up with some pictures soon I need to charge the battery in my camara, hard to take pictures when it won't turn on.

BEST MOVIE EVER

So tonight my hubby and I went on a date to see Twilight. Absolutely want to see it a million times over. I can't wait until the next one comes out. It was so much fun and I just wanted to cuddle with Jas the whole time. It makes you want to fall in love all over again. I didn't think I would like the character they picked for Edward...but let me just say, he is HOT! I was totally gawking the whole time. Also, I am still debating the whole privacy thing but still please leave me your address and when it happens I will add you in.

I GUESS I NEED PRIVACY

After reading the article that Kaesy posted on her blog...I think I am going to go private too. It just freaks me out a little. But I would still love for all of you to be in on my life so please let me know if you want me to invite you in. Just leave your email address and I will be sure to add you! Thanks.

JUST A LITTLE BORED

So it is 11:40 pm and I am just sitting here blog stalking. I got thinking about some things and just wanted all of you to know how truly blessed I am. I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful children and I couldn't be more thankful for them. I am also thankful for my friends and all that they put up with. They stick in there with me even though I am not a great friend back and I appreciate that. I am very thankful for my family and I am so glad that we are close. I couldn't make it without them. With my grandpa's passing last week I have thought a lot about this and after listening to the speakers at his funeral I want to be sure that I try to be like he was. He was such a good man always doing good for others and I want to be that way. I want to live life to the fullest and be sure I take every opportunity to enjoy those around me. That's how he was and I will forever remember him for that. Sorry if this was a boring post but I felt like I needed to get that out and what a better place than on my blog! Ha ha...but truly I do feel like this is a journal in which I am making entries! Hopefully I can look back on it and remember these feelings.

Best Friends

A LITTLE TO CLEAN

Remember how in my quirks I talked about my obsession with cleaning rubbing off on Riley? Here is what she did the other day. She asked me for a rag because she didn't want to drip the milk from her cereal on the counter. What have I done?

NOTHING LIKE A HARD DAYS WORK

So I am going to be backtracking a bit since it has been a while since I updated my blog. I have been saving all these pictures but haven't had time to do much with them. About three weeks ago my dad put in a RV pad and poured a pad to put a shed on. We went over so that the boys could help and the girls could chat. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed watching the girls play outside while we soaked up the sun. My perfectionist dad even let the kids put their handprints (footprint for Bosont) in the cement. They loved it!!

This is my stud brother TJ. Isn't he a hotty?

The boys hard at work. This is Jason and JR look at

those muscles. I guess our pass to the gym is paying off.

These two darling girls are usually at war.

But sometimes they are so cute together.

NEED LIGHTS????

So my brother TJ has a lawncare business and has decided for the winter he will be doing Christmas lights. If you want a bid give him a call 645-3545. He puts them up takes them down and will even store them for you if you need.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

So the last time I heard my baby scream like he did last night it was this moment in the hospital. Last night I am not sure what happened but he decided that for the whole entire night, I am talking from 10:00 to at least 1:30 he needed to scream and I couldn't get him to calm down. I finally got him relaxed and then he started in again at about 5:00 am. (Keep in mind he still woke up for feedings between this) Only to calm down again at about 6:30 and at 7:00 his dear older sister woke up for the day. Hmmmm...I am pretty sure I am dead tired. I love him though and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Also this morning I got a call to find out that my Grandpa Nicholls had passed away. I can only be heart sickened at this he was a great man and spent so many countless hours with his grandkids. He was a great grandpa and I will miss him dearly. The only consolation is that I know he is with my Grandma and they are reunited but he will be greatly missed. Luckily I was able to get pictures with him and the kids last time I saw him, the one of Boston is down below and here is one of Riley with him. My dear sweet husband got a call from me this morning pretty upset and he came home so that I could get in a nap. He is so good to me and I love him. Thanks Jas you're the best.
