Christmas Tree Hunting

We went and got our tree....we don't have a lot of space so I was the big bummer of the day wanting pretty small tree when everyone else wanted a bigger one...John says "it can't be shorter than me" so I lost but we got a just-the-right-size tree. Jordan cut it down himself this year and Jaylee helped carry it.

Jakoda

Okay seriously, Jak is 8 months old today and I cannot believe it! He is such a big boy now. He is eating more solids...just gumming it as he has no teeth yet. He is crawling like crazy and stands up anything that will hold him. He wanted to walk ever since he realized he could sit up and you can see in his eyes he is going to be a getinsky! I swear he is the sweetest baby in the world and I am so grateful for him!

Halloween

Well...it's been a while since I have posted so I thought I had better catch up! First of all...Halloween, it was fun but I am a terrible mother and did not get any pictures of my only child is his Halloween costume for his first Halloween! Before you judge me...my phone was broken and that was my camera at the time! Anyway, the kids were vampires, John was a devil, Jakoda was a cow and I was a cat.

My little guy is getting so big!! He is almost 5 months old and he just started eating veggies and rolling over! He is such a happy baby and of course, the cutest one ever!

First day of school!

The kids started 8th and 4th grade this year. There are some neighbors, Tyler (not pictured) and Katie that are the same ages as them and go to the same school.

Interesting Camping Trip

So, while his camping trip may look like fun they had a very interesting time. Now I stayed home, wasn't ready to take Jak out to meet the mosquitos and it would have been too much to deal with, besides I got the weekend alone! John took Jaylee and Jordan and it wasn't the most well thought out event. They left at about midnight on friday night and drove until they ended up at a car accident and had to be turned around only to get to where they wanted and have there be no space available! They didn't get to anywhere until like 4 in the morning where they had a flat tire and had to search the grounds for someone to hopefully have a tool to unlock the wheels to put the spare on. They ended up getting eaten alive by mosquitos and when there weren't mosquitoes there were flies and gnats. They tried to fish but caught nothing and came home when it started to rain on them! I was so glad I stayed home!!
