Funny Kid stories

Last night I was giving Jakob a bath and Logan was in the shower in the same bathroom. I don't think he remembered anyone was in with him. But I heard him start singing "I'm singing in the shower...Whoa Whoa!" He kept singing it over and over again. I was laughing so hard. When he stepped out of the shower and saw me, he turned a little red. Then we went down stairs and told Jeff and the rest of the night, Jeff and Logan were singing the new shower song.

Today Jakob is sick (fever, cold, aches and pains) so I am letting him watch a lot of TV. He was watching mickey mouse and they were taking about magic and the magic word. So Goofy tried to do a magic trip and they asked the questions," What magic word does Goofy need to say?" Jakob yells "HOKEY POKEY!" I almost peed my pants. Too funny!

Birthday pictures

For one of my birthday gifts Jeff was going to take pictures of the kids. He has indoor lighting so he was trying it out. I picked a couple pictures that I liked of each of the kids to show here. He has not put them in photo shop. He likes to change lighting and contrast and do stuff like that. I just like to look at my adorable kids. Kellsie just got this dress for Church and wanted to be sitting in a bean bag chair reading a book. Logan ran for his Buffalo Bills Jersey and Jakob wanted to dress in Logan's Judo Gee. The guy who runs Judo only let's 5 and up work out. But he said we can start working with Jakob and see how he does. Cross your fingers...

What a night last night

Jeff went into work early yesterday. The loss prevention guy was coming in for a visit, so Jeff wanted to get his office stuff done before he got there. Anyway, since Jeff went in early, he was also going to come home an hour earlier.

I was very excited about this because Logan's Judo has been moved to Tuesdays since the heater in the old place is broken. Also Kellsie's church class (Faith in God) has moved to Tuesday night also. The last thing is that Jeff usually works nights on Tuesday nights and there is no way I can be in two places at one time. So back to the excited part...Jeff was going to be home to take Logan to judo and I was going to take Kellsie to Faith in God.

Then my friend Laurel calls and said she would take Kellsie and Jessica (her daughter) to Faith in God. Great! That means that I could stay home with Jakob and get him to bed on time.

Then Jeff called and said he was running late, but he would still be there in time. Then 15 min before we had to leave for Judo, he was still 30 min away. WE SCRAMBLED!!! Jakob went to the neighbors house for 30 min until Jeff could get home and watch him. I took Logan and Kellsie. I dropped Kellsie at Laurel's house 1/2 hour early ( I OWE YOU ONE AGAIN LAUREL) and took Logan to Judo. I feel bad for Jeff having such a long day. He is such a good husband for working so hard. Thanks baby!!!

Then after we went to bed last night Jakob came in and said his Tummy was hurting. OF COURSE HIS TUMMY WAS HURTING! I took him to the bathroom 3 times. I don't mind getting up with the kids, but I would love it if I didn't have to hear Jeff snoring while I was up. I kept Jakob in bed with us and good thing, because he started a fever about 2am.

This morning I spent a couple hours on the couch hugging a warm sick child. I love hugging my kids, but you know I am going to be sick next. I better start on some vitamins.

Thanks for listening to me complain. Jakob is feeling better (with Motrin). Jeff is home all day, so he is down stairs hanging out with Jakob. I bet Jeff doesn't even get sick.

First Day back at School

So today it is final! Winter brake is over (we cannot call it Christmas brake anymore because we might offend someone). They kids went back to school today and I really miss them!!! But on the up side Kellsie moved out of the portable class room and into a new class room. They have been doing construction at the school for almost a year now and they are finally done with the 3rd grade building and the new administration buildings. The old admin buildings are being opened up and added to the cafeteria so that we can fit a whole grade in the room at the same time. The school was the first one over here on the west side and it is really small. Now we have over 900 kids and no room for them.

By the end of the school year they should have the kinder rooms done and they can get out of portables also. That just leaves the 4th and 5th grades in portables. Well, I need to stop talking about public schools now or I am going to get upset and start saying things that are not good.

Anyways, I miss my kids. Jakob is watching Go Diego Go right now, so I am all alone...

Happy Birthday to me!

My birthday was great. We went to church. Jeff made a great lunch and then I got to do whatever I wanted the rest of the day. The kids and I watched Turner and Hooch (the dog is too funny) and then I played some Mario Brothers on the Wii. I also just downloaded pac man for the wii too. I know I am showing my age, but now that I am maturing, I can admit stuff like that. Jeff also made me a stake dinner (the best ever!)!

Jeff and the kids made a coupon book for me. Inside was coupons for a free van cleaning ( I hate to clean out the van), free foot rubs, back rums, breakfast in bead, and a coupon for a bath without any kids bugging me. I already turned in a couple coupons for back and foot rubs. Jakob gives the best foot rubs.

Perfect Day!

The Bradshaw Visit

Last night our friends the Bradshaws came for a visit. They moved away in the summer to live in Los Alamos. Doug and Gina went last night to help clean the Temple and we got to supervise the major slumber party upstairs. They have 5 kids (4 girls and 1 boy). Timmy and Jakob are best friends so this was a major visit.

Today Gina and I went to the Cannery with our friend Laurel and had a blast, while the Jeff and Doug stayed home and entertained the kids.

Here are pictures of their kids and out kids together. WE MISS YOU BRADSHAWS!!!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Last night we went over to our neighbors (the Hunts) for a New Years Eve party. Our boys had a blast playing with all the other boys. Kellsie stayed with me and Jeff the whole time.

We played some games and hung out until midnight. Then we brought the kids home and toasted with Martinelli's and put the kids to bed. They all stayed up to see the new year. Jakob was just excited to do "Cheers" again, that is his favorite part.

Today Jeff woke up early and went to a park to play football with some guys from church. Only 4 guys showed up, so they tossed the ball around and then came home. Rhett, the next door neighbor and his boys came over to watch the Buffalo Sabers (and whoever they played) play at the Bills stadium. And then they played some Wii. Just as a foot note, the Saber's did loose. Sorry to all those Buffalo fans out there...

I have been able to organize the computer room. Jeff thinks I am just cleaning his room, but what he doesn't know is that I am moving in. He has had his own room long enough...time to share. I am hoping I can convince him to sell some of the massive collection of JUNK that he has in this room. We will see. Maybe the new year will be a little lighter with the junk.

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve and a fun New Years Day!!!
