THIS Is for you WILLOW

I believe I have missed your anniversary. SORRY.. Hope you had a great one. How is the Baby doing. Any guesses on a date? Do you have a name picked out for him.

I hope im remembering right. You were married a few months after us and it was the end of January right?

Hopefully we can see you when we come to see GG in march/april.

He's Catchin' up

JR and AJ had Dr. appts today AJ is now weighing in at 31 lbs and is 2'11". He seems to have stayed around 30 lbs now for a while.

JR is a whopping 17 lbs and 2'2" long. His is still my only child that is still using the baby car seat at 6 months. All the others were out by 4 months. As I said before I like him little. He's ahead of the others in that he already has 2 teeth.

Ohh. I hear him now calling. Gotta go. Bye

2008

So far in 2008
JR got his first tooth Wednesday the 9th

Then on Thursday you can bareley see it but can feel it. #2 came in
Trying to take pictures of JR's teeth and DM had to have a picture with his baby brother.
JR is also sitting up on his own. AJ wanted to "HELP" him so he sat behind him and I snapped this one
JR's new toy. Thanks to Grandma and Cindy. He really likes it. I do too. I can get about 15-20 minutes to do something when he is in here.
Some funky glasses the kids had. AJ loves putting them on. He had these on with a cowboy hat too but didnt have the camera ready and now the glasses are broken. Glad I had this one.

Utah christmas

We had a lot of fun in Utah. These are some pictures of christmas eve and during the week. This was the first time meeting my nephew H. He was born back in April around his daddy's birthday.

AN dressed up for the reading of the natavity. She got to pick who played what. She is quite the little director.
Aunt Becky with her boys MJ (joseph) Becky (Mary) and H as baby jesus
H and JR matching pjs. They are both 12 month size. It was so huge on JR but cute. They say BEARY TIRED and on the back they have bear tracks around the bottom.
DM, AJ and MJ in their matching clothes. This was the best picture I had as the little ones didnt want to stay sitting.

As you can see AJ was done with pictures. AN got really cool red pants to wear with her shirt. These shirts are pretty cool too. If you get direct sun on them they change colors. Cindy, MJ and AN playing a fishing game before the donut making started.
I remember growing up we used to make donuts all the time and we decided to start this tradition up again and will plan on making donuts every christmas.
Cuttin holes through the dough with a thimble. They had lots of fun with this. DM was sleeping this time and we tried to wake him up but he wouldnt.
The master at flipping the doughnuts. Uncle Joel.

Adding the chocolate frosting and cinnamon sugar topping
YUM -O

More random shots

More random shots. These were in between trips.

Its only been a year but I found them. AN's glasses have been in the car all this time. They were in a spot I dont usually check. (beween the seat and door in the back- not a lot of space there) I was actually looking for a pen for DM's doodle dino but never found that (until later) but was presently surprised by finding her glasses. We told here we would take her back to the eye dr to get new ones in January but I found them. WHEW....

Just a happy boy. 5 months old
JR was sleeping in the swing with the monkey he got from christmas. I thought it was cute how is hand was curled up on his cheek.
New outfit from nana & papa. His eye looks much better here.
Loves suckers. Still a little bit of a black eye.

Get ready for pictures.....

Well now that my computer is back working again, I have tons of pictures to put on. Get your scanning finger ready.......

First... This is AJ before leaving for Tx the beggining of December. Friday night he decided to mess around with the little rocking chair and gave himself a really good hit. All During our tx trip the eye seemed to get blacker and blacker. By the time we went to utah he just had the one mark. You will see in future pictures of the utah trip.

Right after hitting himself. All he wanted was his milk
He wouldnt let me wash it off. He kept picking out it when it was dried and left this star on his face.2 days after

4 days after

RANDOM SHOTS

No more gummy shots

Well , Tooth #2 came in today. He is growing up so fast... or is he. He still seems so small to me. We go to the dr on the 24th of this month. He is putting everything in his mouth. Even the cord to the computer as im trying to type. He likes to sit up on his own now too. It amazing how fast they change from sitting with help then the next day by himself. Go JR.

On anther note. Its cookie time. If you want some cookies send me your number so AN can call you .
Joyce -- I want yours anyway. Email it to me please so we can get together to see one another. Maybe Tam could come too. OR you can both come to the house and help me pack......

1st tooth

JR has been slobbering like crazy and chewing everything the last few weeks. Probably since mid november. I noticed after we came home from Utah I could see his bottom teeth right there ready to come through. Well today wednesday the 9th of Janurary, one did. He has his bottom right middle tooth in. The left one ready in the next couple days I would guess. I have pictures but will post when my computer is back up.
Hes slobberin now and is hungry so gotta go. We might be strictly on bottles now. He can bite really hard too like AJ use to .

Happy Birthday Little A

WOW. HE's TWO YEARS OLD today. I will put my slide show up when my computer is back working. I left the cords at my moms house and have to wait for them to come so I can get his pictures off my computer.

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY AJ.

Happy New Year

Happy New year everyone. I hope you had a great christmas and New years eve. We ended up staying at my moms house in utah a couple extra days because of snow on I70. Roads even closed sunday night. We were hoping to come home Monday but couldnt. Tuesday was the day. We were up and ready to leave and guess what.... The car died. We had to wait for someone to come jump the car to get home. We had a great christmas and it was really nice to be with my family for new years even though we werent really planning on it.
The kids had a great christmas and love everything they got. Even like to play with the little boys toys. We now have Little As birthday on saturday and let him open up a few presents we werent able to take with us for christmas. Again the older kids loved his presents and had a hard time getting off them to let Little A play with them.
Now I really need to get cracking and get working on the house. I did get all the pictures down and my front room looks really bare now. John wants to have the house on the market by februrary but I dont see that happening with just me working on it so I might have to do some recruiting of my dearest friends here. Any volunteers???

Gotta get going.
