"The" Nana Baby Gift

With every baby we have Nana makes us "the" Nana baby gift. It includes a really cute towel with something on the hood and back . Jackson's has cowboys, how cute are they. Also she makes a personalized photo album as seen here. I tresure and love everything you make for us, thank you so much.

Arizona Package

When we came home today we found a box on the porch from Arizona. I opened up the box to find presents for Ashton's birthday. Ashton got some really cool number and letter peg puzzles, hot wheels and some really cool clothes. Yes normally clothes aren't exciting but these clothes were because they had a fire truck and a monster truck on them. In Ashton's eyes anything with a car on it is cool. Thank you for all the cool stuff Nana and Papa, we miss you. xoxo

Vacaville Again

I took another trip to Vacaville for a very important doctors appointment. I remembered it late last night and called Nicole to see if she could watch the boys. She is a very busy and tired gal but she jumped on the opportunity to watch the boys. I really appreciate the help even more since it was so last minute. Thanks for the help and we miss you guys.

10 Weeks

Can you believe it 10 weeks old already. Jackson has started sleeping 8 hours a night thank god, you start to get loopy when you are waking up every night after a while.

No Picture For This Story

Typically I post a picture with a story to go along, not this time. Tonight something happened, what your asking. Well 75% of the time the household is in control, yes are background noise is a little louder than most other houses, but what do you expect, there are six people living here. However the other 25% of the time is complete BANANA'S! Tonight was part of that 25%, I really hate these times, it makes me wonder what and the world was I thinking when I decided to have another. So let me paint the picture for you. We had back to school night tonight, which I lost my son for about 30 seconds, totally scary. After that I drove out to Gridley to get the girls from cheer practice. I was about thirty minutes early so the boys and I got out of the van to watch. He found these two little boys playing in the fenced area behind some bushes and invited himself to play. So I keep watching him, then Kirsten, and then it is time to go, and for about another 30 seconds I can't see him. I'm not totally freaked because I am by the exit already so I know he didn't make it out, and this area is totally fenced in so he couldn't escape. Then as I am running around like a crazy mom I see him behind a bush. Ashton wasn't tall enough to spot at a glance. "OMG, what is my deal", I am not feeling like a good mom right now, twice in one day("I'm tempted to use the leach I bought for emergency's"). This is why I am terrified to go anywhere by myself. So we get home, and it starts. The baby is apparently starving, so I start to feed him. Daniel was in the middle of a movie when we got there so he actually told me to go in the other room, really, fine. Then the baby isn't interested in eating just screaming (a bubble) so we work that out, but still not happy. Kirsten helps out and holds him so I can whip up the sloppy joes really quick. "OK we are fine", then Daniel realizes that he forgot to get his medicine from Target and he is all out, he had to leave, down two hands. This is when it gets good. Baby is still screaming and Kirsten decides she can't handle it anymore (OK it it's not her baby) so I tell her to put him down. Still crying, I decide we need to do emergency dinner instead, it is not ready yet, corn dogs for the three kids. Baby still screaming, then Kelsey take Ashton's plate from him, so then he is now screaming along with baby. So about 3 minutes later Kelsey realizes that she can't handle the noise and she starts crying" the noise needs to stop". And then Kirsten simply states "it is like a circus in here", and my only response is to laugh and agree with her. So as I continue to laugh so that I can remain sane for the moment, it really only lasted for about 5 minutes. We can go from 0 too though the roof in no time, I am glad that these episodes don't last long. However it take hours to recover from them. But the best part was, that by the time Daniel got home all of the kids were in bed, not fare.

A Trip To Vacaville

The baby's and I took a trip down to Vacaville this morning to pick up my new eye glasses and get a hair cut. In between the two appointment's we went over to Mrs. Cindy's house to hang out. Ashton was totally spoiled the hole time we were there and didn't take a nap. Only seconds of being in the car he was out. It was good to see you Mrs. Cindy, we miss you.

Papa Come's Up For A Visit

Papa Wayne came up for a visit and an oil change Monday night. We had some good taco's for dinner and visited the rest of the time. We are glad you could come up. What a great picture, cheese.

Thomas Underwear

I bought some big boy Thomas underwear to help with the interest in the potty. When I pulled them out of the package Ashton said "wow, caca" (everything that has to do with diapers, the bathroom and wipes is caca).

Fun In The Hose

I know it looks like we are being mean, but Ashton loves for you to spray him with the freezing hose water. He also likes to drink the water, so then you don't have to worry about him losing a cup in the backyard, works for me.

Are You Cozy?

I sent Kels in her room for a nap and found her sleeping under her desk. It was a fort from the night before when she had Makenna, her friend over, and now it is a bed. Nite nite Kels.

Rock Out Kelsey

We were hanging out last night and I saw Kels in the back of Daniel's truck with a broom stick for a microphone and a ball catcher for a guitar. What a great imagination.

On/Off

Ashton has figured out that with a stool he can turn the lights on, off, on, off. When I walk by a switch I turn them off again, and if he sees me he goes back and turns them on, great.

9 Weeks Old

Nine weeks old and the cheeks just keep getting bigger.Kirsten's friend Stephanie said the other day "it looks like he is wearing a fat suit" I couldn't have said it better

Playing Car's With Daddy

Now, who's toys are these again?

Kirsten's First Day Of Fifth Grade

Well it has happened, Kirsten's asked me not to take pictures in front of the school sign this year. She said "everyone looks at you mom", so I asked if I could get on as she walking up to the school, she said "fine". And what is crazy is that is a student in the background, at the same school as me little baby girl Kirsten, SCARY.

Kelsey's First Day Of Second Grade

After A Fun Day At The Nieghbors

The girls and I went shopping in Chico today and left Ashton next door with his friends, Rachel and Mattew. They are lucky enough to have a small jump house in there house. Needless to say Ashton was pooped after 3 hours over there, he fell asleep before I could even put him down. Nite nite Mr. Ashton.

Darn That Harley Rocker

Ashton was just walking around minding his own business and that Harley rocker jumped up and hit his eye. The purple eye is always a cool look.

So Relaxed

When have you been so relaxed that your legs just fall to the side. It must be nice to suck on a boob all day, have someone burp you, change your diaper after exploding in it and then just fall asleep whenever you want.

Who Is That?

I came out of the bedroom thinking there must have been a bear in the house, but it was just Daniel. Only seconds after starting a movie our Daddy was sound asleep. Nite nite Daddy.

Wanna Race?

Of course the big boy's needed to race on the slip n slide, every thing's always a competition with them. I had to move at the last minute so the camera didn't get wet, but who do you think won and ripped open his boo boo on his foot, Ricky!

Fun Times

Ashton couldn't hold still for a second

Nite nite baby

Retarded

Brother's

Cute cousins taking a dip in the pool.

Tyler's Birthday Party

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Tyler, Happy Birthday to you! We are glad we were able to come and celebrate with you.

Kelsey And Jackson

Kelsey noticed that Jackson was in the bed awake and jumped right in. I walked in to find her just lovely staring at baby Jackson.

Everyone Want's To Be Recorded

Kelsey is showing everyone how to ride a bike down the driveway. And Kirsten is somehow riding the scooter on her butt down the driveway, ooh, how does that bump feel?

For Nana

I took these pictures of Ashton's room so that Nana could see it. When the girls room is clean I will post it also so that you could see. We miss you guys, can't wait to see you.

Yummy Banana Bread

So this is what is left after one day of the banana bread in our house. The girls aren't fans of banana's but Daniel, myself and Ashton loved it. Ashton would always want seconds, "moe, moe". Next time I'm going to try adding some ingredients to change it up.

Ooch! Shots Hurt

Our little guy had his two month doctors appointment today. He is doing well, but that doesn't get him out of getting shots, darn. It is always ruff to watch them cry in pain.

So just in case you can't read this, it says he weighs 16 lbs 7.6 oz! WOW 5 pounds in 5 weeks. Not only that but he's grown nearly 3 in since he was born 8 weeks ago. I think we all know Daniel and I bread big baby's, I will be the smallest in the family soon.

Baby Jack And Daddy

Just as I was sitting down to eat, my little baby decided that is when he wanted to be held (of course). Daddy was all done eating so he got the honors. Daddy has this soothing bounce in his arms, and when these little guys are tired it puts them right to sleep. Aren't they so cute, I just want to kiss them both.

My Assistant Ashton

While the girls were at cheer practice and the baby was taking a nap I wanted to do something special with just Mr. Ashton. I decided to bake some banana bread. He really couldn't do that

much, but pour the dry ingredients into the bowl and mix them. He thought he was pretty big though. The rest of the time he stayed next to me to help and watch what was going on. He hasn't got to try the bread yet, he fell asleep before it was done. He will have some for breakfast, I'm sure he will love it. He is saying "cheese" for the picture

8 Weeks

Our sweet little baby is already two months old. It has once again went by so fast, pretty soon he will be running around just like the other little guy discovering the world around him.Sweet sweet baby.

Nice Hair

Some kind of little critter came into Kirsten's room last night and made a new home in her hair. Have fun brushing that sissy.

Lunch With Grandma Lisa At Jelly Belly

We took a trip down to Vacaville on Wesnesday for an eye appointment and went to have lunch with Grandma at work. This adorable picture is taken in the candy closet in her office.

After lunch we went upstairs to find Science Topia (I think that was the name). They had a bunch of fun stuff for the kids to play with. Ashton was building with pipes here. He really liked the rock table with all the cars. We had a lot of fun, thanks for the time Lisa, we miss you too.

The Statham's Come For A Visit

The Statham's came up for a visit on Tuesday. Maddy just couldn't get enough of baby Jack. She wanted to hold him for two seconds, give him back, them hold him again. Baby Jack enjoyed it and gave her a gummy smile. All the other kids had fun playing with each other, and some fun in the hose because it was so hot. Thanks for coming up, we enjoyed having you.

Cheer Camp

This is the view from one of the parking spots that I had on Sunday, which shows most of the girls. Cheer camp was held in Redding and to turn around and drive back to Live Oak was not worth the time. So baby Jack and I hung out in the van all day. I was sad that I wasn't able to take a picture of the girls in there cute little outfits but the baby put a leash on me and I couldn't leave the van. The girls had a lot of fun, and learned some stunts. They were pooped at the end of the day.

Finally I Got One

So I finally got the smile caught on the camera. He has been smiling on purpose for about a week and a half, but every time I put the camera in front of my face he doesn't do it. We spent the day in the car on Sunday so I had plenty of time to wait for one and push the button. So adorable, don't you agree.

I love Sweet Baby Cheeks

Kirsten was kind enough to take a picture of baby Jack and I. Normally I hate pictures and I am never in them. But I started to feel left out with no pictures of me on the blog, but I am now. I love his sweet little baby cheeks, I kiss them all day long.

Ashton's Love For Shoes

While Ashton hangs out waiting for his Mommy is finish getting ready he loves to try Mommy's and Daddy's shoes on. Looks like you have a lot of growing to fill Daddy's shoes.
