New Baby

What’s that simple phrase
We use it all the time
“Life never happens how you think”
Here goes my little rhyme

I guess I drank the water
And soon you’re sure to see
You think I’m crazy now --- just wait
Til there is three under 3

It’s taken a while to accept the fact
And now we finally do
The exciting thing about this one
We know that there’s not two

We think it will be lots of fun
To keep it a surprise
A boy or girl, we will not know
Will join our cutie pies

October Birthdays

Yesterday was lots of fun celebrating Heath, Josh, Rylie, Jaxon and Camrie's birthday. We had baked potato bar for dinner followed by peach delight made with fresh peaches from dad's tree. All the gifts were extremely nice and everyone made off with a haul (sorry Em, mom forgot to give your presents to Jax and Ry so they will be opening their presents today). We have a very thoughtful, awesome family! Ang, lots of the pictures didn't turn out. :(

It's getting cold!

We woke up yesterday and it was 32 outside.....burrr! Jenn had to mow the lawn and Jaxon wanted to help. So, we bundled him up (Huds' coat is a little small, his pj's are a little small, his hat is a little small, but his gloves fit perfect) and sent him on his way. He loved helping Jenn mow the lawn. Huds and I hung out inside to stay warm!

The Cabin

Ryan and I thought it would be fun to get away for the weekend and spend some time together as a family. We decided Jenn should come with us so she could watch the boys while Ryan and I went on a date. It was so much fun. We stayed in a little cabin in Massadona Colorado. As we were driving to our destination, I drove right past it. That's how small the town was. It had a Restaurant Tavern, a few camping spaces and 3 cabins (and that's it). We showed Jenn around Vernal and Rangely. Jenn says Rangely's not as bad as I make it sound. Well that's good!

Brooke's Birthday

We decided to meet Brooke and Josh at the Gateway for Brooke's birthday lunch. It was quite an adventure. Mom, Jenn, Bridge, Jax, Huds and I decided it would be fun to take Trax. It was definitely a long afternoon but lots of fun.

No more stitches....but close call

We went to the doctor this morning to have Jax's stitches taken out. It went pretty well. The doctor thought Jax was one of his best patients ever. After the doctor we headed to Walmart to do some shopping. Jax wasn't looking and ran right into a ladies cart. His stitches had only been out about 10 minutes before the top cut started bleeding again! I totally thought I was going to have to take him to get stitches again, but I think it will be okay. Boy, I sure hope his head gets all better soon!

10 Stitches

We almost made it to Jaxon's 3rd birthday before stitches. Yesterday we were getting ready to take naps and our little busy Huds knocked over grandma's big tall lamp and the glass shattered on Jax's head. As soon as the blood started gushin' I knew it wasn't going to be good. I calmly carried Huds to the top of the stairs, grabbed Jax and carried him up the stairs then called mom. I think the phone call went a little like this: 

B: Mom, I need your help

M: What happened?

B: Huds knocked over the lamp in the basement and it shattered on Jax's head

M: Is he okay?

B: I don't think so

M: Is he bleeding?

B: Yes

M: I'll be right there!

I'm pretty sure mom was home in like one minute. I know I am 31 years old but I will always need my mom. She makes everything better. We decided Jax needed stitches and off we went to the Urgent Care. Mom stayed and watched Huds while Jax and I were at the doctor. Jaxon did AMAZING! He didn't even cry. As the doctor was stitching him up, Jax turned to him and said "you should get a t.v. in here". It was so funny. To top it all off, Jax got a coupon from the doctor for a free ice cream cone. He was pretty happy about that!
