This is Jeron's very first pine wood derby. Look at that car. He did amazing. Oh I mean this is JJ's first pine wood derby also. He raced his car 4 times. He came in 3rd, 3rd, 1st, and 2nd. Thats my guys. Way to derby!

Emma looses her first tooth!

She is so brave. This morning we noticed that she had a tooth growing in behind her kind of loose tooth. Tonight she came to me and said just pull it out. I started wiggleing it thinking this will take a couple of nights. She was handleing it pretty good so I just yanked and it only started to bleed it didn't come out. You could tell she was in a lot of pain. I asked her if she wanted me to count or yank it without telling her she said "just do it". So I did, and here is the result. The funniest part was that the tooth went flying when I yanked it. So I am in a panic telling everyone to find it. She was in a little bit of shock so she didn't happen to mention it was in her hand.

This little girl is even cute with blood in her mouth

I am pretty impressed with our brave little lady.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JJ

I can't believe that you are eight. It doesn't seem that long ago that we were so excited and nervous to have our first baby. You came into this world at 5:50 pm kind of on a day like today. It was cloudy and raining, but that didn't matter. We were just thrilled to have you come. You have always had such a big personality. I was just in love with you from the moment that I knew about you. I am still just as in love with you. Daddy and me are so proud of you. You are a really good kid. You always try to do your best and that makes us proud. We want you to always remember the decision that you have made to be baptized. Honor your covenants, and remember how you feel on that day. We love you!!

Oh My Goodness She Likes It

I find this extremely unfair. I have tried for months to get her to sit on the potty. Every time she screamed and thought I was trying to torture her. My Mom gives it one try and look at her face. Is that the face of fear. Seriously what is up with my children. Oh well, I think it is time to start. Maybe I should make my Mom do it while I am on bed rest. Who ever said nothing good comes from laying around.

JJ is getting Baptized

Full bed rest and loving it :(

So I am still dilating so the Dr. moved me to full bed rest. I am 33 week and need to make it to at least 36. I am so grateful for all of the help people have given. I couldn't run my life without my family and friends helping me out. It just has to be the craziest time for us right now. JJ and Emma both have their birthday. JJ is getting baptized on the 1st and not to mention all the other March birthdays. But hey the show will go on, I will just look lazy doing it. Everyone else gets to bare my burdens. Sorry to you all in advance.

Happy Valentines Day!

I just love Valentines. We are having to tone it down a little, because of this bed rest stuff, but it is just fun to be loving all day long. JJ got up this morning and set off to make me breakfast in bed. I foiled his plans because I woke him up. He still tried, but eventually I told him that I would make the pancakes if he would love on Ellie and Emma. He agreed that was a good plan. So we had pink heart shaped pancakes. It was a good morning. They were so excited to go to school and do Valentine exchange.

I love you Jeron. I am so glad that he is my husband. He is a good man with a wonderful heart. He is the perfect match for me. I am grateful for his ability to love our children and make them feel special. I hope you have a wonderful Valentines Jeron. Will you be mine?

JJ has such a dynamic personality. He loves with his whole heart. He is Mommy's protector. He always takes such good care of me. I love you JJ. Will you be mine Valentine?

Our little princess. She loves to make us smile. She is very sensitive and wants to make others happy. I love how she talks and is getting to be a big girl. I love you Emma. Will you be mine, Valentine?

No one knows the meaning of Love quite like Ellie. She emulates love in everything she does. I love watching her explore and learn new things. I love you Ellie. Will you be mine, Valentine?

This is what partial bed rest looks like at our home.

Thank goodness that my Mom got here right when it happened.

Seriously she thinks she is so cute. Don't tell her but so do I.

Just a Snow baby update

I don't want anyone to be suprised so I thought I would let you know that I am trying not to have a baby right now. This little stinker thinks that she wants to come now. She is in position to come. I am so nervous because I am only 31 weeks. Hopefully all will be well and she will wait until at least 36 weeks. So say prayers for us. Thanks for all the offers of help. I will ask if I need anything.

I want Fabulous!

The Fabulous glitter girls. Emma did make overs on her cousins and Courtney did one on her and Ellie. Other then the glitter spill in the bathroom they had a really fun time. I think that Kylie tolerated this just to be sweet to Emma. She is not really into that kind of stuff. Courtney and Kylie went home yesterday and the kids are in mourning. They miss there cousins SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much.


Tada!

Feeling like a princess

Family Fun in the Snow

JJ, Emma, and Ellie have been so excited to have their cousins sleep over while Julie and Todd went on a cruise. They are finally here and the kids couldn't be happier. Courtney and Kylie have been so cute with them. They gave Emma a make over, and played Barbies with her. They have entertained JJ by playing speed scrabble with him, and playing in the snow. They even let Ellie go outside with them while they played in the snow. I need older kids. It was so nice to just send Ellie outside and know that she was okay. It has been a really fun time. We will be sad to see them go tomorrow.

The kids thought it would be fun to act CRAZY!

Going to the Viewing.

We had the opportunity to go to President Hinckley's viewing. We went with Grandma Jan. Jeron had to work. The kids got to ride trax. This was a fun new adventure. We then waited in line at the Confernece Center for about 3 1/2 hours. The kids were very well behaved. They would let you sit in the building for about one hour. During this time Ellie went over to a section that was leaving to take their turn. She waved to each person as they left and said "Hi" with a huge smile on her face. Almost everyone said hi back and would think she was so cute. THere was probably a whole row of teenage boys and they all gave her hi fives. She loved it. It was neat to see the faces of those people light up when they saw her. After that it was our turn to go and view President Hinckley. It was a really neat experience. It lasted about 10 secounds but well worth the wait. I have never had such a rush of the spirit in my life. Jan and the kids said the same thing. It was a long long long day but worth it. On Saturday I felt like a mac truck had hit me. So we just watched channel 5 most of the day. The funeral was so nice. Emma was sweet and said " That was the best show I have ever seen." I think the kids will really miss him. I sure will miss Pres. Hinckley. JJ bore his testimony today about his feeling he had at the viewing. It was really sweet. I love when my kids do things like that.
