Sledding

2009-03-20T16:03:00.000-07:00

First of all we did this a while ago and it was so much fun. The kids all took a friend so there was 9 of us sledding well Kori's friend cut her finger not sure how and then both of the boys friends ended up in the river. There was mud everywhere but it wasn't like a flowing river just a little water at a stand still if anyone has ever gone to happy hollow in Kaysville you may know what I am talking about. Also one of their friends went off this jump that daxton had gone off at least 10 times prior to it and I was getting ready to and he hurt his back, I felt so bad and we haven't been since, yes he ended up being okay but was sore for a while.

Tub time

Happy Birthday to my boys!

2009-02-27T07:32:00.000-08:00

Wow I can not believe that eight years ago I was having my fist c-section adn about to get double the joy, nervous, excited and scared. I am very proud of both them and the obstacles they have overcome. Dalton is so busy at trying to fix things, see how things work, always willing to help, I am very proud to have him as a son. He is also very smart and doesn't usually let things beat him but also very protective of his family and enjoys helping Doug do everything. Daxton well he doesn't take defeat very well, he can play a video game and have it figured out pretty quick, he loves to draw and create stories and I must say he is very good, he is also very cuddly still and I love that and he is more of a mommas boy than Dalton so that is GREAT. Well having twins has been one of my accomplishments in life and I am very grateful for both of them that they are healthy. I just wanted them to know how much I love them adn look up to each of them for what they do for me and this family. Eight years old is a big birthday, they will be baptised next month and they are excited. So I hope you have a faboulous day and know that Dad and I love you both very much.

So I made her dinner and it was YUMMY and I had lots of snacks and my sis in law gave her a haircut and it is way cute THANKS Laynie!!! I also made her dessert then next day yep she came over on her birthday which is the 1st of Jan also and she got homemade pumpkin cookies, adn a triple layer pumpkin pie.

Here is the birthday girl looking SO PRETTY, with her best face on. (I may die for this but I have much love for you)

We were just wrestling around and the kids got the cameras and here is what we ended up.

Funny

2009-01-18T13:36:00.000-08:00

Just another little Christmas present he got and loves it too. He sits and spins on it and it sings and makes lots of noise I am so happy that he loves it too.

Just to let everyone know that our little dog who hates little kids loves Karson or at least tolerates him for the safety of his life (lol) Karson got this car for christmas and loves it I don't thinkI will be able to put it outside when spring comes but thats okay, anyways he was giving him and ride and he thought it was too funny!!

So the other night I was working on homework adn Doug was putting a new window I think not quite sure now, adn when he came in the house we went to bed adn found this how cute!!!

Here is Karson trying to get in between the dog's they were playing and obviously he was having a great time too. So I know that most of you would think how gross adn are you serious but Karson loves to kiss the dogs and of course they lick him right back I think it is gross but cute at the same time, but hey they say a dog's mouth is the cleanest. I don't agree with that but it sure makes me feel better when they are licking my baby!

A little LATE

2009-01-16T07:30:00.000-08:00

So here is a post about our holiday. Our kids got a Wii from santa and they have loved it, Karson got some other things seeing how he can not play it YET! He got a little tikes car, sit and spin zebra and then a sports thing. We got the kids some clothes and a few things we were all sick most of the time but seemed to recover just fine but let em tell all of you it is so awful seeing your baby throw-up and dry heave.
Doug's parents took everone bowling the day after Christmas and we had lots of fun!! I am not sure how I missed some pics of people but I did and two of my own kids. Thanks and we all had fun.
Doug and Karson he loves soda but so does his daddy!

So this is a long post but let me tell all of how sad I was. He was one of first bosses and just like a 2nd dad to me. He taught me a lot and I really looked up to him, I will miss him dearly. To all of his family I am so sorry for you loss, I hope you all know how much he meant to lots of people. I personally will miss Jeff, and can't believe he is no longer around to talk to, joke with, or to just ask his advice even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear or something that I followed through with. Memmott you were truly an inspiration to me, thanks for all you love, wisdom, honesty, and most of all trust. Love Jen

Crazy little man

2008-12-18T08:12:00.000-08:00

So we got him this for his birthday asn he loves it I put it in our toy room and I couldn't believe when Doug adn the kids told me he goes down head first what a crazy little man, Boy am I in trouble with this one he reminds me a lot of Daxton he was also pretty crazy and still is. I remember my mom saying I wouldn't be surprised if you find him on top of your fridge one day, because Daxton was a climber well folks I never did find him on topof the fridge just counters and table. He is by far my most adventerous kid and daring in fact I am always telling him to be careful or no you are going to get hurt things like that. Well here is some pics of KArson trying to climb up the slide and he did in fact succeed.

LAST CHANCE

2008-12-18T08:02:00.000-08:00

Sad Day

2008-12-04T22:31:00.000-08:00

So I adopted a black lab puppy on Wed of last week and by saturday hse was a sick little dog. But I thought it was because of changing her food so I let it go but then by Mon she was sick so I took her into the vet and she was positive for parvo so now my house is the haz mat place while I am killing this awful deadly virus for dogs, well needless to say she passed away this morning. I was all about rescuing a dog and now not so sure. Well she was the sweetest dog for the short time we had her. So between the cost of all her things and adoption fees she has ended up being an expensive deal. Oh and not to mention it was part of the x-mas present. Sad day but hopefully all that we do will protect everything for a new dog.

YES!! WALKING

2008-11-24T20:30:00.001-08:00

I almost can not believe that he did it, Dalton was sitting on the couch and he was holding on to the coffee table and took two steps it was amazing then he walked to Doug about four steps and then decided he had enough. I even tried coaxing him with an oreo but didn't care, he got it anyway! It is a bittersweet day and moment, it just means my baby is growing up too fast, and I am getting OLDER. What's a mom to do? Don't get me wrong I am very happy that he is walking for him but it means more messes for me and then he gets much faster. I love my kids, but also wish they would stay little, before long no one will be home and then I will be sad hopefully they will all stick around close by. Well gotta go and catch the small one, LOL.

2008-11-24T20:24:00.000-08:00

So I know that I have created a Monster, yes a chocolate lover, I made chocolate chip pancakes and gave hime some and this was the end result. All over him adn he loved every minute of it I guess it all started when I was pregnant and continued after, although I never gave it to him in a hand held form til he was almost or was a year, but I ate it alot when I was nursing, at first he got a little upset but honestly ladies it is good right and I couldn't resist. Don't leave out M&M's around when he is in the room otherwise he has to have them. He is just TOO CUTE.

ThE wEEkEnD

2008-11-24T20:09:00.000-08:00

We all went out to Doug's parents house to do our Thanksgiving this weekend adn had LOTS of FUN. We rode go-carts, motorcycles, played in sand and slide. Karson was just dying to drive the go-cart, so I did it and it was a little tricky but we had fun he was NOT happy when I was freezing cold and decided that we needed to go in the house to get warm. Thanks Mom and Dad J we always have a blast when we come out there to play.

Little Crush

2008-11-21T12:39:00.000-08:00

So my little man came home yesterday from school very disturbed about these cute little love notes from a girl in his class, he was so confused as what to do. He keep asking me what was he going to do? I asked him if I could tell dad and maybe he would know, I also asked him if he had kissed her and he said NO WAY! He wasn't so sure about anyone knowing but after long thought he said I could tell dad. It just cracks me up thinking of this 2nd grade people are you serious. Anyways lots of talk about not kissing girls and that fun stuff he gave me the papers to put on his baby book. Doug was laughing so hard and asked him if she was cute his darling smile he said yes. What's a mom to do? Let's hope no more right? LOL

The FALL

2008-11-06T22:35:00.000-08:00

Okay here it goes last night I went downstairs to fold laundry and Karson went with me (of course) and he kept going between the laundry room and Kori's room playing and having fun it was so cute to hear them laughing and playing together. As far as I knew they were still right there close, oh and the twins were upstairs, and they were supposed to be picking up their room (key word supposed) anyway the next thing I hear is BREATHE KARSON BREATHE KARSON, I drop everything and go running and I was running which felt like slow motion knowing that my baby was hurt and in what condition I did not know. Kori met me on the upstairs holding a limp baby, I was screaming so loud and Doug came running in and started yelling (which probably was not the best reaction but normal right?) Karson finally started whimpering but still pretty limp, knowing now that the boys had put him on the top bunk bed, let me remind you all I have real hard wood in my house, and he had fallen off no idea what or where he hit I called the Dr. of course bring him in this is 9:15 at night. You ask why are they not in bed who knows driving me crazy. I call my mom and ask her to go to the Dr. so Doug could stay home and take care of the kids well I have been obsessed with reading all these blogs with babies passing away (very sad but now I am very protective, I know I couldn't handle it, god bless to all those who do) I leave to take him to the Dr, oh and Kori decides to go so she can watch Karson in the back. She asks are you speeding. I say yes. Then she waits and is now crying again and says Mom if I say a prayer will that help him? I tell her I don't know but for sure but you can try. Anyways get to the Dr, NO they didn't take any x-rays, but he did give me the paper on concussions and whatever, anyways long story but he is okay and I waited the 24 hrs to write just to be sure, although he does have a golf ball size knot on the left lower part of his head and is not very happy when he has to lay on that side anyways no sleep for me last night, so I am hoping tonight goes better. Anyways Love to you all and I am headed to bed!!

New Pics of the Kids

2008-11-05T17:50:00.000-08:00

Okay so to let everyone know that I am too cheap to pay for someone to take my kids pics I just take them myself and hope for the best. Here are a few of the ones I took and I am sorry in advance that you all can not see all of them. I am hoping to also take some more when the snow finally falls and even a new family one, maybe even christmas cards this year although I would need addresses from those of you who want one but I will let you know more when and if I end up getting family pics.

Too funny

2008-11-04T06:58:00.000-08:00

And here he is in the bottom drawer of the twins dresser, yeah what a handful and then last night e tried climbing up the twins ladder on thier bunk beds and got stuck and started crying I will try to get a pic so you can see it is pretty funny.

To Do oR nOt To dO ThAt Is ThE QueSTioN?

2008-10-25T11:04:00.000-07:00

Okay so Doug and I are both wondering what to do the twins school teacher told us that Dalton should apply for the spectrum program. He is very smart adn talented in lots of areas, but Daxton is as well just different, they have strengths but in different areas, like all kids right? Anyways we are concerned because of the effects it will have on Daxton for example Dalton is in SEM at school and Daxton the other day wanted to know why Dalton got to do it and not him. A question folks I could not answer. I know that Dalton would benefit from it greatly but I worry for Daxton and the stress it would put on there relationship, also would it be pushing him too hard and later hate school and everything that comes with it? I am really not sure how to handle this situation and am asking for help. Oh and here is another thing there preschool teacher recommened that we separate them for kindergarten, it was a hard decision adn something I didn't want to do but did anyway, yeah it ended up not a great thing to do they were both so miserable and if one wasn't crying the other was so for 1st I put them together again and of course this year, so if he does spectrum then they will be separted again, do I talk with both of them and ask them? Do I let Dalton make the final decision? Lots of questions and not sure of the approach to take. Let me know.

Halloween Party

2008-10-21T11:51:00.000-07:00

Okay so I am in charge of my kids halloween party and I know I have some creative readers. Please give me some ideas or websites. I want it to be fun!!! Thanks to all who read. It is for the twins and is an hour.

Nope still not walking and LIFE

2008-10-18T22:50:00.000-07:00

Okay so I am torn I wanted Karson to be walking and then when Doug kept pushing him to I got sad and insisted that he stop. I told him he is growing up too fast adn once he starts walking that means he isn't a baby anymore right? On the other hand if he walked his clothes would stay cleaner, maybe. His knees would be black although he would be a lot faster and it si pretty cute. I don't know I guess I am justsad that my baby is growing up. I must admit though he is a big time MOMMA'S BOY and I love it. I know it can irritating at times but it is so comforting to know he loves me that much. He also really loves Dad and the rest of the family. Sorry no pics but I just wanted to let everyone know how much i love my family and the things kids do are great. I need to do betterabout remembering that they won't be little forever so I need to be enjoying and less time stressing. Which reminds I am taking a stress management class, wow I recommed it to all of you. I feel like I am learning so much, but have a ways to go I can't wait to take the next class from this same professor but it is up at Weber in Ogden and I don't want to drive that far. lol I am lazy. Much love to all of you and sorry my posts haven't been to frequent lately I am a busy girl.

I am YELLOW?????? HMMMM

2008-10-15T15:21:00.000-07:00

You Are a Yellow Crayon

Your world is colored with happy, warm, fun colors.

You have a thoughtful and wise way about you. Some people might even consider you a genius.

Charming and eloquent, you are able to get people to do things your way.

While you seem spontaneous and free wheeling, you are calculating to the extreme.

Your color wheel opposite is purple. You both are charismatic leaders, but purple people act like you have no depth.

What Color Crayon Are You?

So yesterday was my Honey's birthday and let em tell you it was pretty low key. He ended up staying home from work with some type of an infection and I was sick with a kidney infection (still am) so needless to say it wasn't so happy, but he is awesome even though he was sick and it being his birthday he still was taking care of me and what I needed. Thanks baby for being so thoughtful and caring. My mom made him a cake and brought it over and we ate cake and icecream, thanks mom and dad. His mom was up this way for a wedding adn stopped by and they went metal detecting for a very short time but both of them like doing it, and his dad stayed home seeming that the storm was moving in quickly. Hope your day was still okay we all love you for everything you do for us and hope you start feeling better very soon. I love him more and more each day and couldn't imagine living without him, I never in a million years thought that I would love and care for someone this much but having him and my kids I do adn am very grateful for each and every one of them. Again Happy Birthday Doug!

Karson is 1

2008-10-01T23:24:00.000-07:00

Okay so my baby is one and I can not believe it. No he is not walking yet thank goodness I thought for a while I wanted him too, but I am okay with him crawling. He is a total mommy's boy, and it si BAD! For example I went with my parents and little sister to the store I was driving and my mom adn sister were in the back with him and he screamed the whole time. Then Megan tried to hold him and he was freaking out as soon as I took him he was fine. Although it is funny sometimes it sure can be a pain in the neck. Anyways he is so cute and a BIG blessing in our lives. I will post pics of the party later, just wanted to let Karson know how much we all LOVE him and wouldn't know what to do without him. I am telling you he keeps ALL of us on our feet. Back to homework and bed later.

2008-09-29T15:51:00.000-07:00

He pulls out whatever faster than I can put them away. He is so cute and has such a fun personality and his FIRST birthday is Wednesday. WOW where does the time go?

he thinks he is MR. FIX IT

2008-09-28T15:26:00.000-07:00

sees Dad and Dalton

working on things, so he

decided to jump on the

band wagon and help fix

Daxton's bike. Go Karson!

High School Memories

2008-07-30T21:48:00.001-07:00

Alright, so my high school reunion is coming up, as many of you know- you are visiting from the link on the blogsite. Hello. Nice to have you visit. Now, I have some questions for you. They will be all about me, because, this is after all, my blog.

***First off, those of you visiting- Do you remember me from high school? Did you have to pull out your yearbooks to figure out who the heck I was?

***Second- Did you even LIKE me in high school? Are you simply visiting to see how crappy my life turned out? Are you happy with what you see?

***Third- If you did know me/remember me from high school- did I turn out ANYTHING like what you thought I would- or did you even care that much?

***Forth- Again, assuming you knew/remembered me what was I like in high school from YOUR perspective?

This has always interested me. For instance, when you meet someone or know someone, you know their quirks. You know what you like or don't like about them. You can point out their faults easily. However, we don't always see those same quirks in ourselves. We don't see WE are the weird ones. So, I am giving all you visitors that liberty. Please feel free to be as honest as necessary. Please know that I am prepared for anything that you may say. If it isn't that nice please know I am okay with that. I either deserve it (it's a long time coming) or I've changed and it doesn't apply anymore anyway.

Thank you for your time- or not, it's ultimately up to you. I'll track down your links and get the answers from you later anyway. (Totally just kidding- like I have that kind of time!) But it's interesting isn't it? We probably all have similar questions- I'll answer yours if you answer mine.
Thanks again and see you soon- Jen (and Nikki I copied it from you)

Mater and Karson

2008-07-24T14:06:00.001-07:00

Karson and his cat Mater he loves that cat and it is SOOOO funny to watch him crawl over to him. Way to go Mater to put up with ALL of what KArson throws your way. Keep going Scooter!

Camping '08

2008-07-24T13:51:00.000-07:00

My dad, Kori, Chloee, and Corbin, then My mom and little sister Megan, and then There is Corbin again riding the scooter and he is pretty good.

So here we are camping Doug couldn't get off work so I tookthe kids up where my parents were for the day and they had fun here are some of the pics. My friend and her kids came up too we had a blast!

Dalton, Daxton, and Isaac playing in the river, they had so much fun and hardly ever got out

My Dad and Karson

Karson and his friend Elijah, who is only a week younger than he is. They are in the play pen with toys having fun.

Crib for the first time?

2008-07-23T17:05:00.000-07:00

Okay so I have to post this pic First of all this is Karson's first time in his crib asleep I know I just couldn't let him go. Yep that is right he has been in Doug and I's bed and WE love it. He was soooooo tired that I finally put him in his crib FEELING VERY BAD, and let him go to sleep he only cried a few minutes which was very surprising but I feel like I neg elected him. OHHHH soooo sad! Anyways Yes he is laying on an elephant who happens to be Horton (very cute he is) so I am hoping that he will now start taking naps in there and eventually at night (if I can handle it, it is killing me now that he is in his crib.) Yes I am a worrier. How cute is he? the cutest.

So needless to say ROUGH day for both mom and Karson. Some of you are wondering WHY well here's the deal I did it with Kori cause a lot of the time it was just her and I so no big deal then came the twins and there was NO way two in my bed at night they had each other to sleep with, then KArson and when we first brought him home the heater in the house wasn't working and it was October so not to cold but cold enough. and then it has just been habit. I have tried a few times at night but I can't SLEEP and Doug has a hard time too well also Karson he cried the other night for 15 min and I finally went and got him and he was happy and mom. he fell asleep right away on my shoulder. Yep LOVES his MOM!

Shopping cart cover

2008-07-23T17:02:00.001-07:00

Happy FOURTH of JULY!!!!

2008-07-04T16:27:00.000-07:00

So here is a couple of pics of the kids when we were at the parade. Aren't they the cutest kids, I am a little biased. They always have so much fun at the parade and catch candy and whatever else they are throwing. I love the fourth but I hate the fact that summer is almost half over can you believe that. Well at least it was as hot as it has been in the past. The breeze was good and I got a spot under a tree. GO JEN!! I know I rock!! LOL Happy 4th and thanks to all of those serving in the military to fight for our freedom and their families we all love and thank you!

First word and does it count?

2008-06-24T17:39:00.000-07:00

So I need some opinions Karson has started saying dadada and I am wondering if that counts for his first word.... Doesn't he have to know who it is? I think the bottom line is that I am MAD that he didn't say mamama I would repeat that to him all of the time WHY not me I am the one who takes care of him, feeds him, baths him, and whatever else he is in need of (most of the time Doug sometimes) anyways Doug insists and thinks that it is so funny. But what I think is FUNNY is when he tries to calm him and down and can't he then hands him to me and he stops almost instantly. So HAHA Doug he might say your name but LOVES me more. HAHAHA LOL!!!!!

Best Mom EVER!

2008-06-24T17:16:00.000-07:00

So I took my kids to the free lunch and as my friend and I were loading stuff in our cars I went to get Karson out of her stroller and un did his belt and then she asked me a question so I went around the stroller forgeting that I un did his belt yeah I know STUPID! Anyways I went around to get him and as I got there he tumbled out on the grass on to his head and now he has a raspberry on his head you can't tell really in the pic but it is there. DUMB DUMB I know these things happen but it sucks when it happend to you. Moral of the story next time greab him and take him around the stroller with me. I love you Karson and I am SORRY!

Karson wondering Who?

2008-06-24T17:12:00.001-07:00

It was so funny my parents came over last week for dinner and my dad sat behind Karson he would grab his shirt so my dad would trun around and this is what he got and then sometimes he would burst into tears and my dad would turn around and he would stop and then go back to grabbing his shirt. It was so FUNNY! THis just means that Papa works too much or that Nana spends too much. What do you think?

Dad and Mom J

2008-06-24T17:03:00.000-07:00

Doug's parents came up on Friday and brought pizza

then Elaine his mom's new obsession metal detecting her and the boys went out back to see what they could find. Now remeber I told you the back yard needs help and this looks GOOD compared to what it was, but the front is MUCH better. But it isn't helping the grass when the kids ride the four wheeler out there, so I will be ending that. I know no fun, they will have to ride on the sidewalk. Thanks Mom and Dad J for coming out the kids loved having you come. Wondering where Kori is she is actually riding the 4 wheeler out front on the sidewalk. I will have to get pics of that and post them.

Happy Birthday MOM

2008-06-24T16:50:00.000-07:00

So on Thursday the 19th was my mom's Birthday so I just wanted to post and tell her how much I appreciate her and look up to her. She is a wonderful mom. grandma, sister, daughter, daughter in law, and mother in law ( Doug might not always agree but most of the time) haha. She is always there for me and when I was growing up I remember thinking can't she leave me alone and let me make mistakes? But being a mother myself I know why she didn't, don't get me wrong she let me make mistakes and I suffered the consequences GOOD or BAD. But I knew no matter what she would be there for me and supporting me even if she didn't always understand or agree. I do not know what I do without YOU. I love you very much and I want you to know what your love and support mean to me. Thanks for teaching me how to be a better mom. We went to a play that my friends daughter was in the night of her B-day (thanks Dad) and then I made her dinner last night and cake. Hope your day was enjoyable. LOVE YOU!

Grandma Great

2008-06-24T16:43:00.000-07:00

So on Friday my mom and I went to visit my grandma and clean her house for her. She always loves to see the kids. They love to go down there and play with her toys, isn't funny no matter what toys are at your grandma's house you always love to play with them and you always have a favorite. About a year and a half ago my other geandma passed away (we MISS her dearly) and ahortly after my grandpa was getting rid of some of the things and needless to say my favorite toy was in the boxes so I brought it home. We love grandma and hopes that she enjoys her clean house and hopefully soon we will go do her carpets.

Fun filled Thursday

2008-06-24T16:11:00.000-07:00

So a little late in posting but school is kicking my butt!! Last Thursday we were at my moms and she was using her little tiller and my boys were dying to help run it (big helpers) so here they are. Go Dalton and Daxton!! But in between them running the tiller they were swimming in a small pool, playing on a slip and slide, running through a sprinkler and riding bikes scooters and whatever else they found. Needless to say they ALL love being outside.

To lose Weight!

2008-06-17T18:13:00.000-07:00

I know for some people it is so easy to lose weight but not for me and it seems like it is harder each kid. So I have a targeted weight loss of 24 lbs and I am hoping to succeed with that in a healthy way. I know it is going to be work but I am ready, I am currently going to school four days a week and on Fri when I do not go my kids and I ride bikes well I am pulling two of the four behind my bike and let me tell you it is work. For all of you out there that make it look so easy it is NOT! Between being a mom, going to school, holding a church calling, and being a wife finding time to exercise is very difficult again I give much praise to those that can and especially getting up early mornings this is not me. But wish me luck!

Scooter

2008-06-16T19:04:00.000-07:00

So an update on Karson stil not crawling but scooting all over now I have to watch the stairs YIKES! He is also cutting four teeth at one time it is a joke and very painful for everyone involved. He has been the light in our lives and joy we all love him so much. If he is crying and I am busy there is always someone who will go and pick him up spoiled NO! I am sure before long he is going to be all over even faster. Although Korii was walking at 9mnths and Dalton at 10mnths Daxton not so much, so I am sure soon. Go, Karson!

My weekend

2008-06-16T18:57:00.001-07:00

So as you know Kori is on a comp soccer team and so I figure to make her appreciate it more she needs to help pay for costs, So she was babysitting Heather's kids Skyler and Chloee (lexi is out of town) and then the next night Corbin Megan's son. She does a very good jobb and of course I am home in case she needs help. But she does all of the work, they love her so much and she loves the responsibility and can't wait to do it on her own (not for a while). So thanks Heather and Megan for letting her watch them.

Loving the weather

2008-06-16T18:47:00.000-07:00

So I am a little late in posting I took my kids to the park and I walked the track my boys rode their scooters and Kori either walked or rode her skateboard. They didn't want to play on the toys so I guess next time I might as well just go to Davis High and walk their track. Then I don't have to watse gas. Any way it was lots of fun I went my sister Megan and her son and a friend of mine and her kids. Loving the weather.

Father's Day

2008-06-16T18:29:00.000-07:00

I wanted to post on all of the dad's in my life first thanks to doug for being a great husband and father to our kids, I truly couldn't do it without you. Thanks for always putting up with my moods and supporting me in my decisions. I am so glad that we have made it through some tough times and I know that it has made us closer than before. THANK YOU! Second my Dad, for always being there and listening and giving advice even though I didn't always follow I always listened. Thanks for working hard and asking for very little in return. You are a great dad, husband to mom and grandpa to our kids. Last but not least Mike (Doug's dad) through all of the hard times, I knew you always loved all of us and wanted the best for us. You are a great Dad, husband and grandpa always up for a fun ride, I finally have the great son you raised, thanks. We love all of you and don't know what we would do without you. Happy Father's day to ALL of you!
Jen, Kori, Dalton, Daxton and Karson

Love to EAT!

2008-06-10T12:26:00.000-07:00

So you forget a lot of things about babies, Before I had him My twins were 6 and would be almost 7 when I had him. What was I thinking starting ALL over? But come to find out he is worth it. But I do not recall any of my others LOVING food as much as he doesfrom the moment he was born he loves to eat. THe other night we were sitting at the table and I had just fed him peaches and carrots. Doug was holding him and Karson grabbed a shrimp off of his plate and started sucking it right away we had no idea that he had done this. We took it away and let him suck on a piece of cantalope and he just started biting off pieces to it. So I chopped it up in my chopper and he ate two bowls of it (they weren't very big of course, but still WOW) this kid can eat and he loves it and loves to make a mess of it. I can't wait til he gets more teeth so he can eat other things.

Number 7

2008-06-10T12:11:00.000-07:00

Kori is on a Competition soccer team (she is number 7) and she loves it and I must say she is very good. She is also the fastest on the team she loves being forward and hates being a defender ( well it is okay she says but she would rather be a forward). It is so fun to watch these girls play and their competetive attitude. They love it when they beat the other team by a lot. I must say that they have one of the best coaches around, he is awesome with the girls and is always looking out for their interests and teaching them new things. She has played soccer with him for 3 yrs and this coming year is 4. I love because they play ALL year long and indoor is awesome to watch. Way to go Kori keep up the good work and run fast! We love you!!
