December?!?!?

So honestly, I can't belive that it's December. And I know that I've been saying since October that I was going to post pictures of the kiddos, and I am, I swear. It's just so dang hard to get to a computer to download photos...I know it sounds like a likely excuse. I am going to put some up soon I promise!

Hope everyones Thanksgiving holiday was fabulous! The kids and I got to eat together at my great friend Roxann's house. It was so much fun! The kids loved playing with the other kids and when we were backing out of the driveway to go home, they were asking if we could go back tomorrow. The kids spent the actual Thanksgiving holiday with their dad and his family, and I know the kids talked a lot about all the fun they had with their cousins.

I'm working home health again this weekend, so this is going to be a super quick post. But I swear, pictures to come!!

Fun Times...

Hello!!! Life has been fun and crazy! My posts haven't been quite up to speed since I don't have a computer at home anymore! But I will post pictures soon, promise. We had a busy October!

Halloween was fun for the kids as usual. Candy overload is always fun right? Jackson has his usual party at school and Kaden had a little party at daycare that we went to. Jackson dressed up as a ninja, Kaden was Batman, and Miss Brooklyn was a duck. Super cute they were! Jeff came over and we carved pumpkins the night before Halloween. The kids enjoyed that. Brooklyn just enjoyed eating her pumpkin. It has little bite marks all around it. I swear that girl will eat anything!

Brooklyn had her 15 month appt this month. She was 27 pounds. She's now offically a walker and is loving it! She's finally gotten enough hair that I'm having lots of fun styling everyday, and she's having lots of fun ripping it out as soon as I'm not watching!!! Naughty!!

The boys are just runnin around wild as usual. Jackon has a program at school on Friday where he plays the part of a skunk. Should be cute!!

Hope everyone is doing well, and again I promise to post pictures as soon as I can!!

Month in Review......

Ok, so I know it's been a super long time since I posted anything, but in my defense I've been super busy!!! So I'll do my best to try and remember everything.

The airshow in Boise was awesome! It was every little boys dream to be able to climb on the planes and see tanks up close. It completely satisfied my boys we are soldiers thoughts! It seems like they play soldiers more often then any other children I know, and that weekend there was a lot of shootin the bad guys going on! It was a great weekend with family!

We've had picture day at school, so as soon as I get those, I'll try and post them. We've also had another dentist appointment for Jackson. He was super brave and got his little cavity filled without a problem.

This last weekend the kids and I went to stay with my Grandpa in Logan. It was their time to get filthy dirty and play outside all day. There was some super pretending going on. I love to just listen to them while they're doing that. The highlight of the trip was when Great Grandpas dog killed a chicken. Poor Kadens eyes were as big as saucers describing it to me. It's all they've talked about since.

And finally during this last week, our wonderful Uncle Kevin has been here visiting and staying with us. My kids just adore him! I wish we could see him more like once a week instead of once a month! There's been lots of family dinners this week...Sunday was at the Texas Roadhouse for Kassandra's birthday and Wednesday night was at Remos since that's Kevins favorite place to eat. We go every year when he's in town.

The kids have been adjusting to life I think. They seem to be getting the schedule down. Jackson got to go to his Grammy's house overnight with two of his other cousins and have Grammy Camp! He was so excited to come home last night and show off their projects! Brooklyn has been taking more and more steps this week. Probably by next week she'll be off and running. Kaden's been loving preschool at Paula's. He love to tell me about what they've done when I call him from work.

So, that's it in a nutshell!! Sorry for it being so long! I promise to post pics as soon as I can!

Another month starts.......

It's amazing to me that it's September already!!! Before we know if we'll be doing Christmas shopping I think!!

Another busy week flown by. Jackson is doing great in school so far!! He says he still likes his teacher, so that's a bonus. His dad let me know that Jackson did choose to walk home all by himself yesterday. He thinks he's so big! But, at least he beat the bus home!!! There's a big lecture from mom coming tonight about riding the bus!!! Kaden has started preschool at daycare! He was so excited when we went to buy his very own school supplies!! This week was the letter B. They even have show and tell. He chose to bring his bird binoculars. They also wore aprons and were bakers and made banana bread. Paula said it was quite adorable! And Miss Brooklyn is just as cute as ever! She is still just walking along furniture. She will be daring once in a while and let go, but only for a few seconds! But, I'm sure she'll be taking off in no time! She did have a molar break through the other day. I didn't even realize she was teething, cause she hasn't seemed extra grouchy or anything! What a good girl!!

The kids and my mom and I are off to Boise on Friday morning. We're leaving at around 5 am to be able to get to the airport by 8am. My grandparents from Portland are flying in! And then my brother will be in that same morning! There is an air show in Mountain Home this weekend and Kevin was able to get his plane in it! I'm so excited to see him and I know the boys are gonna absolutely flip when they get to see Uncle Kevin with his plane! They love anything to do with soldiers or airplanes! I'll be taking lots of pictures and post them when we get back!

Doing Great!!!

Well, this last week has been a busy on!! We're here and doing well though. I moved and am settled into the "brown house". The kids are happy with their new set of bunk beds. We've been enjoying our days together hanging out and watching movies at night.

Jackson is doing well in school so far. He breezed through his homework without a problem, and is continuing to read just fabulously!! Kaden and I are enjoying our extra time together just him and I while Jackson is in school and Brooklyn is napping. Plus, I'm enjoying just having two kids while I run errands. You wouldn't think not having one would make that much of a difference, but it sure does.

We spent yesterday in Blackfoot, watching the parade and then enjoying the fair together with my mom and sister and her two kids. The boys love lookin at all the animals. We also watched Erica do her demonstration on how to shear a sheep. The boys were mesmerized.

This next week will be a busy one. I work tomorrow, Labor Day, and then I take off to Utah after work. My grandpa will be having triple bypass surgery. So if everyone could remember him and my family in your prayers this week. We'll be at McKay Dee in Ogden most of the week. We're all a little nervous to say the least, but we know he's in good hands. I'll be coming back either Tuesday night or Wednesday, to have my days with the kids, then they spend the weekend with their dad. I'll be working home health this weekend. So you may not get another post for a bit. Hope everyone is doing well.....

Clean Teeth, New School, New House....

Well, it been awhile since I posted last. So sorry!! Not too much going on until this week.

The boys had a dentist appointment. Jackson has an old filling that needs repaired, but other then that they both got clean teeth awards!! The denist they go to is so cute. The waiting room is decorated so cute! They have a huge tooth fairy flying from the ceiling. Makes me wish that they took adult patients instead of just pediatric!!

Jackson also had his first day of second grade!! He posed himself in the pictures I took. In one he's holding up peace signs. He told me this means peace out mom. My little gangster. His teacher this year has a reputation of being quite strict. I'm hoping that that will help Jackson. He definetly needs discipline!! Hopefully he'll come out a better student. So we'll just wait and see. So far so good. He seems to like her just fine.

I've found a townhouse to rent. I move on Monday. I'm hoping to get most everything put away by the time the kids come on Wednesday night. But, we'll see. It's a really cute place, came with a washer and dryer. The place has been well taken care of and it looks practically brand new. I drove the kids by and they seem excited. The place is brown siding, so now Kaden associates where he's going by either the brown house or the yellow house. Kind of cute I think. They seem to be adjusting well to the changes. I think it'll be good to have our own place with our own routine. Although, we've all enjoyed being at Grandmas, we're excited for our own home again. I'll let ya know how moving goes!

Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend!!

Everyday Life.....

We've been pretty dang busy this last week or so!!! So, I'll do my best to catch you all up on the comings and goings of us.....

Let's go back to last Thursday... We went to the summer movie at the Reel Theater. It was Horton Hears a Who. The boys loved it!! Miss B however....is not the least bit interested in movies! Imagine that huh? But she happily crawled around the theater aisles and enjoyed sneaking popcorn off the floor when her mommy wasn't watching. We went with a couple gals from work and their kids. My friend Susan has a litle boy named Jacob that is the same age as Kaden. They had fun together. At one point they were sitting on the front row together thinking that they were pretty hot stuff!! But, they also enjoyed that they were both potty training. The little boys and I made 3 trips to the bathroom during the course of that 1 1/2 hour movie!!! But it was a great time spent together.

That night I left to my quick weekend trip to the Seattle area for my cousins wedding. This was a huge accomplishment for myself since...... I HATE TO FLY!!! After much anxiety, I landed safely at SEA-TAC airport it was a busy couple days with family. The wedding had all the key components...a beautiful bride, great food, and of course....the father daughter dance where all the dads were crying just as much as the daughters. (Thanks for that dad!!!) I drove back with Dad, Teresa, and Erika. We pulled back home at 1 am.... remember everyone that I work at 445am! So...needless to say I was pretty dang exhausted Monday!! Not to mention quite grumpy too!!

I worked today, but now am off till Saturday. The kids are with me until Friday night. So we enjoyed dinner together tonight, thus the corn pictures. It was really tastey and everyone loved it!! Jackson will be getting registered for 2nd grade on Thursday, other then that, not much planned for the rest of the week....

Hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying the last few weeks of summer vacation!
