Fall time activities

I LOVE fall! It is my favorite time of the year " ) I also love doing crafts and other activities with Jace and Jeff. So here are some things we have been doing and a few random pics :)

Me trying to get Jace to just smile for the picture "/.... I kinda like these 3 more.

Jace helped draw the faces on the pumpkins and choose what ones to do, he did well! He even helped clean them out! Last year he wouldn't touch them... neither will Jeff, so I guess he gets that from him. This year he helped but still wouldn't touch it, he had a spoon to help out with that.

Went to the Dinosaur park, so cute at Halloween.

A friend in the ward did a Halloween party, it was really fun. I got asked all night what happend to my foot... it's all apart of the costume : ) I am the injured ballerina, Jace is my Doctor and Jeff is his trusty CNA ;)

(actually when he saw what I had labeled him he yells out to me from the other room..." I'm not a CNA!" Ha ha yes he was and he was a great one : ) Yay to CNA's everywhere.
He didn't cheat... it's called using common sense ;)

MMM doughnuts! Jace helped with each step it was a really fun activity to do together.

My barley there or not there whatever baby bump at somewhere between 13 and 14 weeks I think. My camera is a mess and dated this in Feb! ummm No. Ya I need a new one, but this one still works....75% of the time ;)

Ah my boy...sigh : ) Lily dosn't seem to mind does she ;)

I recieved a gift when I was first married of a cute set to make a pumpkin into a turkey, I have used it every year and love it! This year I had Jace help me with it, we even used a pumpkin he had decorated earlier that month. After we got done with that one he had yet another pumpkin that he had decorated and wanted it to be a turkey too... I got creative, and we got a pretty cute turkey number two!

YAY! I finally got it finished! It took me about 2 months to do... not continually I'll admit, I kinda slacked a bit and had to figure out what the instructions meant and such. Today I got it done though : ) Jace climbed on me and played and watched while I obsessivley did all the finishing touches on it today.

It turned out pretty good I think! I even made the flower, you wouldn't believe how much they wanted for one! I'll have to post some pictures of Emma in it :p

People who have seen it have been so sweet and nice, it makes me all warm and fuzzy ;) No really I do like it and I am proud of this little number : )

I'm also going to post pictures of all the hats I'll be doing! I have many neices and nephews both born already, in the process (yay Dan and Mandy!), and yet to come that I'll be working on! I love it!

Wow, ok

So I am still not used to this no nap thing! Jace (by partly my choice and partly his) stopped taking naps. He goes to bed SO much easier (and earlier) :) and it isn't so bad, as I thought it would be. Though it does have down sides, one being that I no longer have a designated time to check the internet and update my blog "/ I am rectifying that right now.

Jace is still just a ball of energy, says the dang cutest things and continues to make me smile.





He says things like:





Mommy (or Daddy) your my best friend


OH, OK! (slightly whiney but still cute)


...or not.


zip zang!


eeps (oops)


giggling- I saw Mushu fell down, it was funny! On his head! (ah his mama's boy)


Daddy I miss you so much when you at work.


Mommy I just love you so much


You look pretty or I love your shirt mommy, it's pretty


I just like daddy!


I grow up to be a daddy


When I grow up I gonna be an astronaut! And fly in Space, sphooooo!


I'm daddy Jace, you gonna get a time out 1.... (this dosn't turn out how he wants...ever) : )


Don't leave me! ( we never have or even threaten, so don't know where it came from)


Your a good girl.


ok sweetheart?





Oh and stories and stories, I love listening to him make up his stories. The may be incomplete to writing standard but I think they're adorable. Sometimes I wish I could video everyday of him because he does so many cute things everyday.


We've been playing. We went to the Circus, a first for me and Jace, which was so fun. We do projects, we play all the time (well daddy does, I do when I am feeling well enough and try even when I don't)





He is going to be a big brother!!! Hence the reference to feeling well in the last sentence " )


We were trying, and yet still VeRy suprised to find out that I was pregnant.


Jace is just honestly over joyed to have a brother or sister coming!

We are so excited! Jace thinks it's a sister, I tend to agree. Though honestly we would be so so happy with a boy too!

So that makes...ready?!.... 5 preg in my side of the family with 2 that delivered recently and 8, 9..10 ... or more preg in our ward! Crazy! Let's pray they all are healthy both mom's and babies.

So there you go, not as long as I thought, though I did paraphrase alot hopefully it's enough to jog my memory when I read back ;)

Life is so good.

Happy Anniversary Babe!!!

SIX years ago this Saturday the 21st of August I married the most wonderful man! I am so happy at our decision, best one we've made ;)



Jeffrey-

I love you more than I can even comprehend. You are so sweet, funny, strong, fun and smart. I am truly grateful that you choose that you wanted to be with me for eternity. I look at Jace and I see you so much...as does everyone else that sees him ;) He is so like you and that is a wonderful thing. He has a great example of a man to be. I love you! Happy Anniversary Babe!

Enjoy the gift! ;)

More Color!

I added more color to my living room by making some fabulous pillows! I made the green and black ones, Jackie made the yellow ones for me (I was too intimidated to try it, Thanks!) and have had the red ones forever " ) I like 'em.

Jeff thinks there are too many pillows now, I disagree : )

Summer fun!

I accidently did this in the opposite order of which they happened... most recent (top) going down.







Playing outside, getting into mischief, having a birthday, Bear Lake, Learning to write, family reunion after family reunion, playing with friends, drawing, and icecream... I'd say we've had a very successful and fun summer!!!!

Have to explain this one... In a short, short version. I was fixing a bad haircut for my friend Jana, the kids were playing what sounded nicely, they would get quiet then laugh, I could hear ice being dropped on the floor. When we came out we found a good half gallon of water on the floor mixed with ice. The quiet moments, yup pressing the water button on the fridge, laughter, was the ice hitting the floor and sliding... they did help clean up : )
