You have to stay long enough at my blog to hear the 1st song!!! It is by George Strait called "I saw God today." It is a really great song. Jes told me about it the other day- I heard it finally today, and love love love it!!! So I added it to my playlist...Hope you enjoy! Thanks Jes & George!!!

1-2-3 go...

The next two post are for journaling purposes-just a warning:
Oh sweet little Addi- I just thought you might like to see what your latest trick is. You haven’t figured out how to crawl yet, but you are getting close. I am not very anxious for you to take off just yet. I want to keep you little as long as possible since dad thinks two is enough. I was trying to get you ready to get in the shower with dad, and was able to capture a couple cute pictures of you. I think it is the cutest thing, you will tuck your legs underneath you belly then rock back and forth… when you get sick of doing that, you push them back out and do a push-up almost! You can hold yourself there for quite some time. You are very very strong! When you are on your back, you have been holding up your bottom with your legs, like you are starting to go into a back bend… I don’t know about you! Gymnast-I sure hope so. I hope that you see the potential in yourself and have the desire to follow your dream… Never let anyone tell you you cant accomplish whatever it is you set your heart on! I love you so much “Little Lady!”

{Oh} to be a boy...

So Jas and Seth and a crew of boys took off to Utah today! This is an annual event that makes me hate the month of February! I don't know if it is the long nights, or the constant worry that someone will not make it home in one piece- the fact that I get no break from my kids, or that I just plain simply get lonely! I don't know what it is, maybe a combination of all-all at one time that make me dread it. I do have to say that it is so nice not to have to make a big diner...Bridger and I are a whole lot less picky when it comes to diner then Jas is. I hope that they come home safe and sound and ready to tackle the kids and home, because I am going on vacation... I haven't decided where yet, but somewhere I can relax and enjoy whatever I want to!!! Anyone can come as long as there are no kids, no husbands, and no schedule and no budget! We will do anything we want when we want... no one to check in with! Doesn't that sound great! Okay so I know that I am only dreaming, but that is what I have to do to get a vacation from my everyday!!! In all honesty I hope that they have a great time. I pray they are safe and happy... no tickets this time boys!

Congratulations are in order...

DANI IS ENGAGED!!! Don't know many details other then it happened tonight at temple square! Jason and I are so dang happy for you two!!! We wish you all the best in the world, and then some!!!

No Surprise...

Poor little Addi is sick-as you can see!!! At first I thought she just had a fever because she was trying to cut teeth, but I have decided that that is not it! She started coughing last night! YUCK!!! I feel so bad for her she just moans and groans all day. At one point today her little fever was 102.7!!! AHHHH- I called the doctors office, and they said; “just alternate Motrin and Tylenol.” What is a mom to do when that is the best advice they can offer for her sick little ones… sometimes I wonder? !!! I know that it is inevitable now that Bridge will get sick, but so far so good! Jason leaves for Moab, UT on Tuesday, so I am just sure Bridge will get sick um Tuesday night! Anyway, if you are yet to get it in your home I WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD!

Funny Kid...

This is going to be short, and I hope to get to do more tomarrow!

Last night we were eating diner, and I had made BBQ Pork Chops, and Bridger is very picky, and didn't want to eat. So I was trying to convince him to just try it- it is one of mommys favorits. Its is yummy! You know all the little tactics we parents use to make our kids eat... I will let you have treat! Blah Blah Blah... finally I asked him if we wanted some chicken. He said no! A few minuets later I asked him if he wanted a chicken strip and he said: " I don't wanna bock bock!" (SP) It was so funny... I just about lost my water all over the kitchen! I hope you find some humor in this, and it isn't one of those "I guess you had to be there" moments! Hope it made you laugh like it did me!!! Love Ya Bridge-kids are the best aren't they!

Loving my kids...

Lately Addi has been really interested in Bridger. He can make a bad mood disappear, or in a instance really cause a bad mood (in both of us). She was just hanging out the other day, and I walked into the living room and Bridge was talking to her. She was having so much fun completely consumed in the attention of her big brother! It was just one of those proud mom moments that make you so grateful for the little blessing that occupy our every moment. I love my kids so much… just thinking about it can bring a tear to my eye. They are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am grateful for a husband who is by my side… without him these little angels wouldn’t be here!

"Hungy" mom...

So I had been doing some tax preparations downstairs on the computer for about an hour. Bridge convinced me to go upstairs because he was “hungy!” So when I went upstairs this is what I saw… the fridge wide open… how annoying is that! I guess he had made his way upstairs without me noticing to grab a bite to eat!This isn’t the first time that Bridge has left it wide open, so I thought I would turn my frustration into a post!!! I keep telling him that when he gets into the fridge that he need to keep it closed, or all the food will be ruined. He love to peel oranges, won’t eat them, but loves to peel them- so he gets in there for an orange, or anything else that seems to fix the curiosity of the fridge!!! Gotta love having a 2 year old!!!

Adorable and Sad Potty moments...

I know that the potty pictures are probably getting very old, but I thought this was so cute, and really do think you will get a kick out of it. Bridger had come to me saying he had to go potty, and so I put him on the toilet and told him to call for me when he was done. I was just putting away clothes in the other room. I had put the basket of laundry away, and he was being very very quiet. I peaked into the bathroom to check on him, thinking I would catch him doing something he shouldn‘t be doing- then in a race against time I hurried downstairs to grab my camera. I didn’t want to miss this picture… the cute little stink had picked up Jason’s bathroom reading material which usually consists of motorcycle, and hunting magazines, and started reading. It was the cutest little thing. He is definitely his fathers child.

One more, then I promise no more potty pictures(unless they are adorable)! Bridge was taking his nap, and woke up just saying, and crying out “owwee…it hurts” The poor thing had woke up because he had to pee so bad. I rushed him into the bathroom, and he was all but still asleep! I just thought was a sweetie that he didn’t want to pee in his underwear!

Happy Birthday Chant!!!

Happy Happy Birthday Chantri dear, Happy days will come to you all year. If I had one wish that it woudl be a Happy Happy Birthday to you from me!!!

SNOW DAY

Saturday was a great day for a “Snow Day.” We ran to Rexburg and barrowed a Skid Loader from Grandpa Kenny and hurried back home to clean out the yard! There is more snow then I remember in a long time. Jason got on the roof and shoveled the heavy snow, and I tried to play with the kids. Addi really was not having to much fun, and Bridger just wanted to pull the sled himself. Needless to say Addi and I didn’t last too long, but Bridge could stay outside all day long if I would let him. He LOVES to ride in Grandpa Kenny’s tractor. THANKS DAD!!! We are so lucky to have you in our lives. Bridge had a blast riding around with Dad- he just keep saying "Grandpa Kenny's Tractor!"
Bridger was having a blast, and Addi, well she was much happier when we went inside!
The snow was really deep... I am realy glad that he was doing it, and not me! Thanks Honey!!!
Look at all this snow!!! It is just crazy
I just thought this was a cool picture off of the back door.

6 months old...

I thought it would be fun to do a side by side of the kids at 6 months old. With Bridger when I was cooking in the kitchen I would always put him in the sink and he loved it, so I have done the same with Addi. It works out quite nice. They are eye level with you, and so they think they are still quite involved in whatever is going on!!! I am really glad that Addi has he cute little hair, even if it doesn't cover her whole head!

My little project...

Jessica has a primary activity today, and asked me if I could make some "cards" for her. Chant wanted to see how they turned out, so I thought I would share. Nothing too fancy, but they are pretty cute! She is having the kids make the glass magnets, and they are decorating cookies wiht black and yellow frosting... it should be a lot of fun! Good Luck Jes!!!
