Soccer!

Jaxon had his first soccer game on Saturday, which was a miserably cold day! He was excited for his first game, then he got there! Just kidding, he actually had a lot of fun, but it was so cold! All the kids were crying, shivering, and just wanted to go home! Jaxon really did have a great time, but he thought the object of the game was to run with the kids and push them over...I guess if you can't win, cheat! We were playing against a team that was quite a bit older and bigger than our team. Add the fact that our kids didn't really know what they were doing, and we lost pretty badly, but the kids had fun, well most of them! I think Jaxon's favorite part was the oranges and juice! We look forward to this Saturday's game in the rain...is it ever going to get warm?!

Easter Outfits

So, this is the best picture I could get of my kids in their Easter outfits, we were on our way to church and I wanted to take a picture really fast, but we were running late, so this is what I got...not great, but don't they look so cute?

The Basement is Finished!

The basement is finally finished! This picture is from the first night Jason pained down there...he was spraying the primer, and he had a great time doing it...not really! We are so happy to have it finished, well it's not totally finished, the bathroom isn't done yet, but we are happy to have it most of the way finished. I wish I had more pictures, but I don't right now, hopefully I will post more later, if I remember! Jaxon got moved down last night and he loves it...his room is so much bigger than is old one, he has more room to make bigger messes!

Thanks Jason for all the hard work you did to make our basement so beautiful!

Easter Fun!

Easter this year was kind of a bummer! Jason came home sick from work (which he never does he has to be REALLY sick) on Friday and that started our fun weekend. He felt better enough on Saturday to work on the basement and was feeling better by Saturday night. Well, Sunday morning at around 5:45 Jaxon comes in our room crying because he threw up in his bed. He threw up one more time about 15 minutes later. Then, I was getting Brynn's breakfast and she threw up, just a little bit (Do you think it could have been the fact that she was eating a sucker at 7:00 in the morning?!).

So there went all our fun Easter plans, like going to Church, and going to Jason's parents' house for an egg hunt, instead we stayed home and watched like 5 movies, pretty boring if you ask me. Don't worry though because by the end of the night, I had the same crap the other had...fun stuff! Luckily I didn't throw up and everyone is healthy now! Needless to say, I didn't get pictures of the kids in their Easter outfits (I tend to not like throw up on their nice clothes!) so I will have to do that next week!

The kids did have fun though having a little egg hunt in the house and going outside later to blow the bubbles the Easter Bunny brought them...oh the simple joys!













On the 11th, we colored Easter Eggs. The whole process was over in about 10 minutes because I couldn't handle it anymore! They kids had a fun time though and thought it was very interesting...well Brynn really wanted to drink the coloring, they stuff with vinegar in it...yum! FYI...Brynn is a total cheeser for the camera if you couldn't already tell!










On the 10th, I took Jaxon & Brynn to a flashlight egg hunt in our neighborhood. Jason was sick so he stayed home with Jordan. It was a lot of fun. The kids got impatient waiting for it to start, but once it did, they had a great time. Jaxon was a little bugged that he could only take 10 eggs, like that wasn't enough!?

Finally Uploaded Pictures From My Camera!

Admittedly, I am terrible and uploading pictures from my camera to the computer in a timely manner, so that is the reason for these giant posts with tons of pictures, so hope you don't mind!



When we got our drywall done for the basement, the workers were taking their garbage and stuff out the window well and the kids thought it was great, they sat there and watched for a good 5 minutes. I am SO glad we hired someone to do the drywall, so nice to have it done...now bring on the paint and carpet is scheduled to be installed on the 22nd! Wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!



This is Jordan and his cousin Sam who is two weeks younger than Jordan...but you couldn't tell from the picture. Jordan has his four month appointment on March 23 and he was very little (12.9 lbs which is the 5th percentile, but his height was the 75th) so with some supplementing and medicine to help me produce more milk, three weeks later he was up to 14 lbs!




Jaxon was invited to a birthday party where he was supposed to dress up as his favorite super hero, so he chose Mr. Incredible. Luckily, my mom came up a couple of weeks before the party and made this adorable cape for him, isn't it awesome?! I really should learn how to sew, but that would take a lot of time, which I don't have any of right now!



Isn't he cute? I love that little smile!



I am so excited for the basement to get done for this reason...I can get rid of the corner o' toys in my living room upstairs...I hate the toys, but love that cheesy little girl!



Brynn insists that we swaddle her baby because she sees us swaddle Jordan, the only problem is she has a royal fit when she comes unswaddled, but yet, she carries her by the head, so what can you do right?



I love this picture, I think he looks so handsome, even if he is in a pink bumbo!





At Jordan's four month appointment, the doctor wanted me to start him on food to try to get extra calories in him...so I started solids and these are the results...the food went in the mouth, and promptly came back out! Not sure how much he actually ate, but he seemed to like it. I even made my own baby food, not as hard as I thought it was going to be!




Jaxon loves to help Jason in the basement and Jason gave him these ear plugs to wear while he was down there and Jaxon thought they were pretty cool and I thought they were pretty funny!



If she had more hands, she would have carried more!








My parents came up over Conference weekend, so we had a get together with my sister and her family and decided to do a little egg hunt. It was a lot of fun and the kids thought it was great and ate all of their candy in a little less than an hour...amazing!



Does he look scared? He should because Brynn kept trying to climb in the seat with him...poor Jordan, if he can survive Brynn, he can survive anything!




So, with Jordan I will cover his eyes with his feet and play peek a boo, well, Brynn thought this would also be a fun game for her to play...isn't she cute! And yes, so does have a constant runny nose lately, so that is snot you see in all of her pictures! YUCK!

Girls Night Out

Well, I'm a little slow posting this one, but at least it got posted! On March 20, some very fun girls from my neighborhood had a girls night out. We went to Biaggi's at the Gateway...very delicious by the way.



then we walked around the Gateway and on our walk ran into this....
The one in the middle is Gev from So You Think You Can Dance. It was so cool to watch them dance, it was really amazing.

Of course we all had to get a picture with them...who wouldn't, right?

Jenn, Annelise, Lori, and I. Jenn and Annelise were my old neighbors (before I moved a half mile down the street) and Lori bought our old house.
Cami and I...we have known each other since we moved in 2 1/2 years ago and have been great friends since, same with Annelise in the picture above this one...Jaxon loves playing with their kids, they are really great friends! (FYI I HATE my hair in this picture and have since gotten it cut!)

We stayed overnight and a great hotel downtown and had a ton of fun...we did pedicure, facials, and talked and ate a lot, it was so much fun! I was awake until 4 am! Crazy, the one night I didn't have to wake up with a baby, I didn't take full advantage of it, but it was so nice to sit and relax and not have to take care if kids for one night! I had a great time with these girls and it was so much fun to get to know some of them more and to just have fun...I think we should do it again, soon!

I also have to say that I have the BEST husband for being so supportive of me going. I think he was almost more excited for me to go then I was because I haven't done anything like this for a long time. He wanted to make sure I had a great time. Not many husbands would be so supportive when it meant they had to take care of three kids by themselves, one being a four month old who doesn't sleep through the night yet! It was so nice knowing that the kids were well taken care of and that things at home were under control. Jason, you're the best and I love you tons!

Silly Jaxon

Okay, so I haven't posted in a long time...again...but I need to post this because it is just so darn funny and I want to remember it in 10 years when my little mind forgets it, heck I want to remember it in 2 weeks!

Anyway...about a month ago, we were eating dinner and Jaxon ate like two bites and told us he was finished. We told him if he was finished he didn't get anything else to eat the rest of the night...no treats, no snack before bed, nothing. He said that was fine. I reiterated this to him about five times to make sure he understood exactly what not eating his dinner meant and he understood and dumped him plate in the sink.

Well, about ten minutes later when Brynn got some pudding for dessert, Jaxon was very upset he didn't get any and Jason was explaining to him why he didn't get any and Jaxon looked at us and said, while crying, "I thought Jesus would give me better parents." Then I asked if he wanted different parents and he said yes!

How sad is that?! Don't worry though, the next day he told me he didn't really want differnet parents and that he liked having us as parents! What a little stinker, huh?
