Happy Birthday Jaysen!

We celebrated Jaysen's birthday this last weekend. Happy Birthday!!! It was days long too...I swear. We were supposed to go to Boise, but due to family health problems of his cousins (who we were going to stay with) our plans were cancelled the day before. Landon about had a heart attack. We were going to have a "family" party on Thursday night with presents and birthday cake since we would be gone on Friday, which is Jaysen's actual bday. Well, since we weren't going to be gone anymore, we figured we'd just wait until Friday for presents and cake. Holy cow...you'd think we had told Landon the world was going to end. So, we did presents and cake on Thursday anyway after much pleading on Landon's part towards his dad. So, Friday we had planned on doing a special dinner instead for his birthday then....and then at the last minute Jaysen decides we need to invite my family over for dinner too. Sigh. So, after asking my sis and bro and finding they couldn't make it, I called Jaysen, who told me that we were going to our neice's basketball game in Filer anyway, so we should do it on Saturday instead anyway.....so, instead, Jaysen's parents popped by on Friday night and we watched a movie. Then, on Saturday night everyone came over for steak and crab legs. My house stunk so bad!!!! I HATE FISH! I told him he better remember I did this for him for forever...and realize just how much I love him that I would do that. Those crab legs were just wrong. And they stunk and then my house......sigh. The boys loved them and ate until they made themselves sick. So, I guess it turned out well.

Here are Cam and Jaysen eating their crab legs. Gross! I actually did try it.....yeah...still doesn't taste good.
And finally, tonight, we went to the Burnhams and had Mexican food for dinner for his bday. Talk about overkill. YOu'd think he was important or something......
Anyway.....happy birthday Jaysen. It makes me warm and fuzzy knowing that each year that I'm getting older, you will always still be almost 6 years older than me.

Here we go again!

Okay, so I stopped posting because I was sure that nobody was even looking at my blog. Nobody ever left a comment or said anything about it, so I figured it was a waste of my time. Of course, as soon as I stopped I had several people ask me when I was going to post again. Sigh. So, here we go again.....

A lot has happened since my last post. My baby turned one, sniff sniff....and my other baby turned 7! Even bigger sniffs.

We, of course went through Christmas and I'm glad it's over. Though it was really nice to spend time with family.

And then there was New Years. Which, in my home, meant the Fiesta Bowl was coming. We had friends and family over for the big game and were excited to watch our team (BSU) win. What a win it was. Lots of yelling going on in the house. Good stuff.

Anyway....I'll attempt to continue posting here as often as stuff happens. Which means not too often....though there is a certain someone getting older this month in my house and he's not too happy about it...so I might have to make a few jabs at him about that one. ;0)

soccer!

We had Landon's very first soccer game tonight. They won! Even though they don't keep score, Landon did....he almost made a goal too! Just shy of the goal....

And he got to be goalie for a bit as well. He made sure to remind us that no one was able to score on him. He has some good little soccer players on his team. I was impressed...sure they have all played before, it's just Landon that is the newbie to the game, but still. I wish I had their energy. I would have been huffing and puffing up and down the field. ^_^

This was at the end of the game...isn't he cute? he had so much fun!

First week of September

Okay, so we had the first day of school this last Monday. Landon is an official first grader...holy cow!!! He's not supposed to be so big already. Sigh. That's okay. He's loving every minute of it though.


And then of course, this last week we also had the fair. Landon took a friend, Justin, with him and they had a really good time together. Mackenzee just liked being outside. Though she did fall asleep for a bit. The fair doesn't change too much. It's the same every year. You have your kids ride a few rides, you walk around through the vendor booths, get a Mr. B's ice cream cone (yum!!!) and there you have it. Three hours tops. I guess if you are planning on buying something there, it might be different, but yeah. We did get to go to the petting zoo, which was hilarious for us because of Mackenzee. She didn't quite know what to think about all of the pigs and goats and sheep.

The boys were so cute together. They were just tall enough to go on some of the bigger rides and they went for it. They had so much fun too. This picture is of them doing their "secret" handshake. Isn't it awesome?

Go Boise State!!!!

Yes, my daughter is in a BSU football uniform. Do you have a problem with that? I happen to believe she is adorable.

Her daddy is very proud. The big orange and blue.....

Alina is ONE!

Happy Birthday Alina!!!! I can't believe she's already one year old. What's even more sad about this is that it means that Mackenzee is turning one just around the corner.

All the kids eating their cake and ice cream....poor Savanna was forgotten in the mass hysteria that ensued once the candles were blown out, and so here she is sitting quietly and nicely....watching everyone else eat...and not saying a word. Yeah....Landon would have been telling me off at that point.....sigh. The difference between a four year old and a six year old.

Look at the two of them checking out Alina's new toy she got for her birthday. Mackenzee will be getting the same thing...sh! don't tell her!
