Jaden's Surgery

The night before his surgery Jeromy, Uncle Vaughn and Uncle Bill gave him a priesthood blessing. 

We had to be at the Davis Surgical Center at 6:45am and when we got back to the waiting area we thought we would have some fun taking pictures before his surgery.

This is the Red Wagon that kids can be taken back to the surgery room in.  Jaden didn't want to go in that he preferred this way...

Kicking and Screaming!!!!!  I agree Jaden.  It is a little scarey back there.

Jaden did awsome and when they did his allergy test he showed a negative reaction to all the foods and only showed a minimal reaction to mold and dog dander.  There goes my reasoning for why he has such bad exema all over his body.  

 

Jaden after surgery.  The only thing that hurt when he came out was his legs from the allergy test. 

His oxygen levels were low so he had to have an oxygen mask by him.  The nurse had to give him some medication to calm him down from the mask and the thing they put on his finger. 

We're goin home!!!  Yeah! 

I'm so proud of you Jaden for going through such a big surgery at your age.  You did so good.  We are so glad that you will fill so much better after this.  We love you!

Swimming at Grandma & Grandpa's

Every Summer we love going to Grandma and Grandpa's to swim in their pool.  Justin has learned to swim across the pool, underwater, holding his breath the entire time.  He still needs some pratice but he's doing great!  I'm so proud of him!  Dakota is now tall enough to stand in the pool with his head above the water, and Jaden can stand on the bottom step.  My little fishies are growing so big.

Syracuse Fireworks

What a perfect ending to a great week!  Movie at the Drive-in Friday and now Fireworks to top it off on Saturday.  Now if only the mosquitos would quit eating me and my family then we could enjoy all of the fireworks instead of Swatting ourselves and then watching the firework burst.  Owell!  We had a lot of fun and we even took along Lily.  She did excellent!!!  She just layed there the entire time.  She's becoming a great dog.  Fourth of July fireworks in Clearfield here we come!

Night at the Movies

 

Every Friday night we have movie night.  This time consists of picking out a movie, having the boys lay on our bed in jammies, popping popcorn and adding extra treats like M&M's or Skittles in their very own popcorn containers, and letting them watch a movie while I put Brekyn down for bed.  They LOVE having movie night!

Well, Jeromy had this Friday off so we went to the Drive-in and watched Toy Story 3 and Prince of Pursia.  This is the only way to go when you have 4 kids and want to take the family out to a movie, plus you make some good memories.  It was a warm night and there was a slight breeze so it held the mosquitos at bay.  It was perfect!  We set out the blankets and pillows and snacks and sat and had some great family time and waited till the movie started. 
The younger boys liked Toy Story 3 but Justin thought it was borning.  I think he might be past these kind of Disney movies.  My boy is growing up. So Sad!  All the boys stayed awake till the end of the movie and that was around 11:30.  I was so ready for them to go to bed by that time.  Finally the second movie Prince of Pursia came on and they started to get sleepy. YES!  It was a good movie and it only showed one drop of blood in it for having war scenes and fight scenes in it.  All in all it was a great family movie night!

More T-ball Pics

Justin had a lot of fun playing T-ball.

Justin playing in the outfield. 

 Every player that went to his base was given a high 5 and told good job. 

He's such a friendly kid.

After the games over the boys like to play at the park.  This was one day that it was actually nice enough to have them play.  The rest of the time it's been really cold.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the best Father's in my life. These men have been such great examples to me and have been so supportive in all that I've done. Thank you for all your love and support. I love you all!

Goin' Camping

Every Memorial Day weekend we go camping in Fillmore. I love this camp ground because it's clean, there are 4-wheeling dunes and Justin can ride his 4-wheeler. The hook ups for the trailer help out too! This year was really fun because the boys are another year older and can do more and we have our own trailer to sleep in that actually fits our family. No tenting it for us!!!

We love going camping with family and to tell ya the truth that's one of the best parts of all. The boys love playing with their cousins. This year Jaden and Zach had a blast riding in Grandpa's Razor. They would giggle everytime we went over a big bump and had fun just being by each other and enjoying the ride.

Brekyn and Joey played for hours on the grass and trying to concour the kids lounge chair. I think the lounge chair won most of the time.

We had a hard time starting Justin's bike but when we got it started Justin and Grandpa had fun riding it. Grandpa only went around the trailer but he had fun being a kid again. All in all we had a great time!

Go Rangers Go!!!

Every little boy needs to play T-ball and it's even more fun when your Dad and Uncle and Grandpa are coaches. This year Justin got to be apart of the Rangers team and have Jeromy as the head coach and Shea and Grandpa Jackson as assistant coaches. It's been a lot of fun watching Justin learn how to play baseball and watch Jeromy coach the team. He's been very patient with the kids and with one mom has earned the nickname, "Coach patience". There are some kids on the team that like to play around, like 5 yr olds do, and Jeromy tries to patiently teach them how to play and how to have good sportsmanship.

More pictures of Justin playing T-ball coming soon.

My little men

Just thought I would put a plug in here about how much I love these boys and how I can't believe how fast they are all growing. They make my life so happy and very interesting. My life is never dull and I'm always on the go but it's been fun and I wouldn't have it any other way. Mommy loves you my little men!

Preschool graduation

We are so proud to announce that Justin has graduated from Tammy's Teady Bear Preschool! Woo Hoo! Onto Kindergarten at Antelope Elementary. Tammy Boam was Justin's preschool teacher and she is THE best! Justin learned a lot of new things and got to go to some really neat places for their field trips. He also had a couple crushes during preschool. Oh that boy! Congrats buddy! We love you very much and are excited to see you excell in Kindergarten like you did in preschool. YOu are so smart and are THE best!

Big Boy Brekyn

My little man is growing up! We had to lower the crib so Brekyn wouldn't fall out. It's sad to think that this is our last time lowering the crib and that the next step is taking down the crib and selling it. I'm also very excited for Brekyn's next steps into life and seeing him grow up just a little bit more.
