Jax is 4!

Jax had his 4th birthday! It was fun for all. (well Ryker got upset because "Jaxon is lucky he gets presents before Christmas" uh so do you it is just in September.) Anyway, Jax got to go shopping with my mom and then went with me and Skyler and then we took him to dinner. We had a good time and I love spending time with him. He is so stinking funny (when he gets a chance to talk). He is a good kid and is so easy going most of the time. I love him and the sweetness he bring to our family.

The cake. He had so many ideas for his cake and this wasn't even one of his originals. Ryker suggested this to him a couple of days before. It actually worked out nice cause it was easier than most of the other ones. Not my best cake but it did the job.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAX!

Christmas Crafty-ness

Here are the things I made for Christmas.

This is our Christmas countdown. I was rushed I sick and it didn't turn out the way I wanted but it gets the job done. So next year I will start earlier and have a plan. The kids really like it and love having something to do everyday, even if it is small.

note: the other crafts below....... Me on the left, Paige in the Middle, Caitie on the right. Good job Rachel for getting mine right :)

O' Christmas tree

Here is the tree we cut down all lit up. It looks short in the picture, but it is over 10 feet tall. (I was laying on the ground) Yes those are ropes tied to it. Let us remember that I live in a high wind area, plus the hieght of the tree, it needed to be anchored. It might look funny but I am sure my nieghbors appreciate that my tree isn't in their yard everyday.

Not so Innocent

Lorilei's favorite place to play (besides the toilet) is the pantry. I am fine with it. The things she can eat and that she can get into are at her level so I don't worry about it when she is in there. One day I checked on her and found that she had gotten a packet of crystal light open and was sucking the powder out. (she must get this from Paige) It caught me off guard at first cause her mouth was red so my first thought was that she was hurt, but she wasn't upset. When I walked over to her I could smell the sweet smell. Oh....well it is better than blood.


She was not happy when I took it away. (why couldn't she have opened the one that was colorless, then she could have kept it)
I don't even know how I took it away, look at that face.

Jocelyn LOVES her sister. Sometimes a little too much.
