another year!

so my little man has done it again...yup another year is gone and he is 3! Why do they have to get old? He is one funny little dude and keeps us all on our toes! He is a bit OCD, stubborn, impatient at times, loud, ADHD, control freak and sometimes i hear a naughty word slip from that innocent mouth. He is his mother through and through, so I only have myself to blame. We may butt heads, but he will always be the first baby I ever had and that's amazing. Jackson man, mama loves you! Happy 3rd birthday, but lets not have anymore!

first day of school

Jackson started preschool and I was so excited for him! He was bored and needed a little spice to his life..so off to school he went! He is a year early, but has done great! It's nice to have that time to give Easton man all of my attention. Im also in school again! yikes! Im full time at UVU and I have no idea what I want to major in, so for now Im just finishing my associates and I will make the major decision in the spring. and obviously it will not be in English. ANYWAYS we are all alive and healthy and that's all that matters! Oh and we have 2 very special visitors coming tomorrow and we are very excited! Pics to come soon.

wisdom teeth, baseball game, Easton walks....

Last Friday I finally had my wisdom teeth yanked from my head and that was a mistake! YIKES! needless to say the recovery had been a bit rough and I am still in the process of doing so. Actually, my chin and bottom lip are still numb! Weird, right? hmmmm BUT we took Jacks to his first baseball game with G's work and he loved it! It was great to get out and have a little mom and dad date with him. We took Trax up which is always entertaining! We had lots of yummy treats oh and watched a tiny bit of the game too! Little Easton man has started to walk around. Not a full-time thing yet but he is finally getting brave! I will be so glad when the crawling is totally gone...so his hands will stay somewhat clean. Oh and he is starting to say words too, which includes a lot of "no". That's it! It's all I got for now! XO

Mr American Fork

Please, as if we needed to put Easton man in a baby contest to prove he is the cutest around. So with that said, he swept the contest and took top honers of the cutest little man in town! I LOVE being that annoying parent...we all deserve it once in awhile! Easton has been such a ray of sunshine in my life! He is busy and into EVERYTHING! His toothy smile just melts my heart and I want to freeze him and not let him grow an inch more...no seriously if he grows anymore I may throw out my back. Here's to you, Mr American Fork!

What happens in Vegas...

I met Garrett this weekend in Vegas for a quick getaway...kid free! First time ever and it was totally worth it! It was a quick trip, but enough to feel refreshed. We saw Bill Cosby live and he was so great! We had some delicious food, hit up the MAC store..ok that was just me and the had some more yummy food! We got to see one of Garrett's mission companions and his cute family. We spent a few hours at the pool and it was so great! It was so hot I was in heaven! The hotter, the better! I missed my cute little orphans, but was in need of a vaca! Vegas is always so entertaining and we had a ton of fun! Until next time Vegas...

Summa Summa Time!

Goodbye June, hello July! We have been busy, busy, busy!...ok not totally, but I have tried to. I take the boys to the pool and let them run around in the backyard all the time, because i have learned that sun and water makes for a good nap! Garrett is mega busy traveling right now for work. We are actually going to Vegas for the weekend, without the boys! (first time ever!) I am so excited, so hopefully I will have some good stories and pictures to share! I just got Jackson signed up for preschool! CRAZY! He technically is a year young, but I think he is ready and will do great! here's to hopin! Easton man finally has some teeth in his mouth and is a few weeks away from walking. He is into everything and climbs everything! Well as for me, I am just here being the mom and enjoying it...most days! Pictures will be posted as soon as I find my camera! YIKES!

love!

family pictures!

My friend, that now lives in Cali, did our pictures for us again. Let me tell you she does a fantastic job! I love you to pieces Tiff! Enjoy! PS we are all healthy and happy!

E's big day!

Easton turns one!!!!!

It's so hard to believe that little Easton was born a year ago! He is such a happy little man and his party was a blast! We went to the park, although the weather turned and we had a quick party. Regardless, lots of fun was had and I was on the verge of tears! Watching my babes grow up is so bitter/sweet. I mean i love seeing them learn new things and become independent, but that day will come and they will not need their mommy as often. Oh well, its life! Enjoy the pictures! Oh and a HUGE thanks to the fam for coming out! MUAH!

*sigh*

I love my little babes more than words can express.....but some days im just. so. exhausted.

10 simple things that make me happy

SO I can be so random and this would be one of those times! Here are 10 random things that just make me happy
10. opening the washer thinking I hvae laundry in there, but is totally empty.
9. Unlimited refills on my Diet Coke, ya know when you are out to eat.
8. One of my kids falling asleep in the car...it always makes me laugh!
7. Finding something in my closet that I totally forgot about, like new again!
6. a clean car
5. climbing into a bath that is so hot I think I need to go to the hospital.
4. yoga
3. junk food. I will probably suffer a heart attack by age 35.
2. checking out at the store and something is less exspensive than I thought...ok it doesn't happen much, but it's so nice when it does!
1. my family of course!

JSYK

I am going to admit it....I AM BABY HUNGRY! Now I know what you are thinking, Jess you have a 2 year old and an 8 month old! Doesn't matter, I think 3 is my lucky number. I don't look forward to gaining 30 pounds or so, maternity tops, mood swings, humongous belly by 20 weeks, the awkward stares like lady find something else to do beside have kids!, big butt, the constant need to eat, getting up in the morning...the list goes on but the first look I have into those eyes makes it all worth while! Guess I should let Garrett know.....

Boys update!

So if you haven't realized this by now, i blog to keep our family that is away up to date on how my family is....which pretty much is my babies. This is whats going on with them: Jackson celebrated his 2nd birthday on Dec. 15th. I took him to a bouncy house and he totally loved it! I even got in on some of the action! He is turning into such a little man, it's crazy how fast time goes! Now I know he is only 2, but he is turning into Mr Independent! His new thing is picking out his own clothes, every outfit is topped off with his snow boots hehe. Jacks is into everything and keeps me on my toes! Easton Man is 8 months now, weighing in at a whopping 23 lbs! He is in the beginning stages of crawling and is mega vocal too. Needless to say i am just going to be getting even more busy with him being mobile! He is such a happy little boy and he is now starting to enjoy solid foods and he doesn't miss a meal :) Garrett is extremely busy with work traveling around to approve store locations. we are so grateful for the long hours he puts in to pay our bills...and pay for my shopping...oh and for my Land Rover. You're the best babe! By the way we celebrated 4years of marriage on the 3rd of this month.

Happy 2010!!!!

Wow, another year has gone by and life just keeps getting more busy! I have been looking back at 2009, and definitely the highlight in our lives was our sweet little Easton! He has been such a sweet blessing, and Jackson has been a great big brother. Also another year favorite was the blessing of Garrett's job at Del Sol. It has been such a great thing for us and Garrett is loving it! Everyone there is so great and we are excited to be apart of the Sol for many years to come! Of course, I sat down and made a list, I am obsessed with list-making, of things I want to do/accomplish in 2010. I tried to dig deeper than the same ol' lose those last 10 baby pounds...I mean I love the mommy curves! heheh, but seriously some of my goals include: Doing an at-home project each month, which I will share on the blog, learn photography with my sis, be a better mom/wife, and last but certainly not least GET MY SPENDING UNDER CONTROL! Yes, I know this may be a HUGE shocker...not really....but I LOVE to shop. I actually would consider myself a shopaholic. To tackle this task, I will be attending weekly therapy sessions, have a sponsor and follow a 12 step program. 2010 may be a long year.... My list is nice and short and manageable. Here's to 2010...and who knows maybe we could make our family Schonberg party of 5, just saying!!! ;)
