Recent Moments...

Way overdue again, but I guess considering my intervels on Blogging I guess this is considered right on time... Here are some milestones I didn't want to pass up on posting... Kelsi is playing indoor soccer and this was her first goal! We are soo proud of her! (If you ask her dad he would add that it was in the other teams net, but her mom says that since they don't even keep score that dosen't matter!) But she is loving it and is quite the runner!

Any moment like this is worth documenting since they are soooooooo rare. I got Boston ready for church and was trying to hold him off from his nap till later, but he wasn't waiting any longer..

Jayden's now lost 4 teeth total...check it out Uncle Spencer! Kelsi offically pulled the fourth front top tooth when she and Jayden were having a tug of war in the car with her blanket, and Jayden had the blanket in her mouth and Kelsi pulled really hard on the blanket from the back seat. Jayden didn't even notice it till Kelsi said, "Jayden your bleeding'' and I turned around and there was blood dripping on her shirt, and covering her teeth!

Wow, she looks big huh? She is my 7 year old now! I can hardly believe it...Happy Birthday Jayden! We love you! She was excited to get a diary that has a lock on it and to get a necklace with a J on it and a matching bracelet....She is definaltely growing up! We didn't even have a cartoon cake for her birthday cake, no she wanted a Nothing Bunt Cake... If you ask her what her favorite things are she would tell you peace signs, and monkeys...(no more princesses :( ...)

Sigh....Happy Birthday Jayden!

Picachu....

Ok, so after years of begging for a pet, Jayden is the proud owner of Picachu...The RAT. First of all, for those that are not into Japanese cartoons, Picachu is a Pokemon who is a yellow mouse. Jayden's latest craze is Pokemon anything, so when thinking of a name for her cute little pet, Picachu was chosen... (it was either that or Scabbers...) We thought long (a lot of years) and hard about this new responsibility and she is sooo excited! We will have many more adventurous posts about this new little "family" member. Already, Jayden says, "come to mommy!" And I heard Kelsi say, "Come to Aunt Kelsi". Then Jayden told me that I was Grandma, and Dad was Grandpa....I asked if I could be Aunt Kathi instead, that I wasn't ready to be a grandma....She obliged.

She is actually quite a cute rat, and she loves Jayden already, her favorite place is in a dark snuggly spot, She will climb on Jayden's shoulder and down to her hood and hang out in there!

Christmas Dance Recital 2009

I am taking a moment to brag about my little darlings....They are not only BEAUTIFUL, but they were the best dancers on the stage ! Kelsi remembered her entire dance, and even held her pose at the end until the backstage helper came and took her hand to go off stage! Jayden is on a mini competition team this year and she had to move and change stage positions while dancing. It was so great to see all their learning and growing they have been doing this year! Thanks to all who came and watched! We are so lucky to have so much support!

The picture says it all....

What was I doing while he was dismanteling my kitchen??? Oh I was in there too, making dinner! This is me containing my child...

Ironically he is wearing a shirt that says, "Property of MOM"....hmmm this is when he should have a shirt that says, "Property of DAD".

Gasp! A New Post!

Jeremy's first Deer! He finally got one, a two point, but to his credit his first one is as big as my biggest ever was! Way to go Jer! Boston loved the head the two days it was in the garage, he would go stand by the door to the garage and say "MOO! MOO!" and want to go and pet it...Needless to say it was only kept around for a couple of days...

Ok, we have been MIA, but I am going to do a little update. Jayden has started 1st grade in July, and Kelsi started Preschool in September. Dance started up in September as well for the girls and they love it. We started our shed in September as well, it is still being finished, but hopefully a couple more weeks and it will be usable...For those that don't know, my brother Eric moved in with us and is working here, getting ready for a mission. So, he has been a lot of help finishing the shed. We took a short trip to Oregon in August to visit the family, it was a lot of fun, I need to post of few of those pics too....but for now here are a couple of the most recent pics of us... Wheeler Farm, the kids were feeding the chickens...Always fun..

We went for a hike up the canyons with Susan (not pictured). Gathered Leaves, (Grandma they made books for you to look at when you come next.) and took a little lunch we had a ball, despite what Boston looks like, he was just mad we stopped to take a picture.

Halloween 2009, Hermonie, a Dinosaur, and a Horse....So Cute!

Sooo, here is the story behind the pumpkin....Jeremy commissioned Susan into doing a "Suprise" for me. When we had our pumpkin carving activity, Jeremy got online and found a pattern and asked Susan if she would carve this and suprise me....Apparently I must be a Twilight Fan, and a Team Jacob fan (hahahaha maybe a little). However, I was suprised and I loved it! Thanks to Jeremy and Susan for my Pumpkin!!!

The Homestead!

We did a mini vacation with the cousins! It was sooo fun! The kids went Horseback riding, and we did the Alpine slide and of course swimming at the hotel pool! So fun! Carrie, Kelsi, Crew, Griff, Dax, Boston, Jayden, and Brianne!

Jayden is all saddled up!

Kelsi was in Heaven!
