This past month has been difficult for our family. We had two very special family members pass away. We are so Grateful for the time that we had with them. Especially grateful that we were able to see them both 3 weeks prior to their passing, and spend quality time with each of them. I am thankfull for the knowledge of ETERNAL FAMILIES.

This has been the scene at our house for the last 5 days. He has done so well. He's been easier than I imagined. I set the timer for 20 mins and when it goes off he'll say "mom the timer tell me I gotta go potty" (I feel like I'm training the next Pavlov dog) We are so PROUD of our 'BIG' Boy!!!

Spring Break 2011

We got to Go to Coeur d'Alene during Spring Break. It was full of non stop FUN. Nana and Papa spoiled us ALL. The kids were especially spoiled and suprised when Papa rolled out a 90 4wheeler just for them. They were really good about wearing their helmets and being careful. But they did get daring and learned how to shift within a day and just had a lot of fun.

Jack needed some attention. He wanted Jappy to pick him up. and when he didn't he started climbing on him. Jappy didn't take the hint.

Jay wasn't big enough to ride it this year. But I bet next year he'll be a wild man on it. But he was content riding everything else with wheels.

Coeur d'Alene got a grant to build a HUGE Gym. it's called the Kroc Center. It has two pools the kid pool and then an olympic size pool, several work out areas, plus rooms for aerobic classes, and dance classes, kid and teen rooms with video games, a movie room, huge rock wall, and so much more I can't list it all. The kids really wanted to swim so we spent and afternoon there. We saw lots of people we knew and had a chance to catch up on them and their families. I really wish Pocatello had something like that for families.

We went to a new Fire Station and had the GRAND tour. The kids loved getting in the trucks and trying on the fire helmets, and meeting the Arson Dog. We got to see him in action, he did a little demonstration for us. It really amazes me what they can train them to do.

We also took some time to visit Friends and Family, that we haven't seen in awhile. The girls cried all morning the day that we left. We made it home in record time. We would have liked to sleep in till noon the next day.

The last 2 weeks have been filled with Coughs, runny noses, sore throats, fevers, and R.S.V.
My poor Baby was SICK. We had his oxygen tested and thankfully it was high enough to avoid being admitted to the hospital. It was a tiring week. He is back to normal, but he still thinks he needs to sleep in my arms. He was spoiled before he was sick, But NOW........He's the king of the Castle.
He still has hair and I've cut it a few times. He's Mr. Chunky weighing in at 15 lbs He's smiling, and we get closer everyday to getting him to laugh. He is such a snuggly baby. We are enjoying every minute of him.
Jet 3 1/2 months

Jay's favorite game. Shooting the girls headbands in the air.

The Girls have been home from school because of sore throats and fevers. They seem to be on the mend, and I'm hoping they can return to school tomorrow.

Mr. Jay.................... Everyday is an ADVENTURE!!

He is in the 'WHY' stage and its making us crazy. But is so fun to hear him talk like a big kid. I heard him yelling at Brooklyn the other day. "Ooklyn come here, I show you something" and "It's ok Baby Jet, it's ok" "Mom, I hold you" "I need an issue (tissue)" And he asks me if he can play with friends when he goes outside. It cracks me up everytime.

D+C Hitched

Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Larsen
Nevermind the strange look on Cami's Face. She really was Happy.

The little partners in Crime. They have missed each other.

We had a GREAT Weekend in Logan! It seems strange that our Little Dustin is Married. But he couldn't have picked a better person.

I didn't get a family picture. Jet wasn't feeling well and it was very cold.

We are so happy for Dustin and Cami. It was good to be in the temple together and remember our own Sealing. And to be with the Family.

We had some company this week. Nana and Papa came for a visit. Jay entertained them with his wild ways. I think it's going to take them some time to recover from this visit.

Papa took a shift with Jet so that we could get in a game of Mexican Train.

The weather has warmed up and then got cold again. Jay's itchy to be outside.

Happy Birthday Bug!!!!

Brooklyn Celebrated #7 princess style

We had a princess Tea Party. They ate, did a craft, decorated cookies made cotton candy and Danced. We only had a handful of girl. (Moms request.) They had a great time with lots of giggles. That's the way Birthday parties should be Easy for mom but still Lots of Fun for them.
