Update 2015

So apparently I'm horrible about keeping up with our blog. I guess its cause I am busy with keeping up with my boys. I recently just had surgery, so now I find myself with a lot of time on my hands. I figured it would be a good time to update this.

Jon: Is currently serving as the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator for our Ward. I guess after 6 years of serving in the YM Presidency they figured he needed a break. He is still is surveying for D.R.Griffin and Associates. He is coming up on 5 years since his stroke on April 14. He had a recent check-up where they did a new MRI. The Brain Damage is the same so no changes there. Which is good cause it means nothing has caused more damage. They changed his seizure meds at the request of his wife and children cause we couldn't handle the frequent mood changes. He seems to be doing well with the new meds. Mostly he enjoys wrestling with the two boys and teaching them things Mommy probably wishes he wouldn't. ;) He works hard to provide for us and is such a good Husband, friend, and Daddy.

 

Bridger: Just turned 5 in March. I can't believe it. The time has gone by so fast. He starts Kindergarten in August, and although he is ready. Mommy is not! :( He is the biggest sweet heart you have ever met. He has such empathy for others. He loves Dinosaurs and Dragons. He is a good big brother to Branson and loves to help anyway he can. He loves the color orange. Which makes things fun cause everything has to be orange. We go shopping and we have to buy things just because it has an orange tag or is orange. Even if its laundry soap. Then if it has the Letter B and is Orange its a done deal.  He loves his teachers in Primary and singing. He sings all the time.



 

Branson: He turned 2 in December and he has a mind of his own. He is a true Spikes. Any of you that know the Spikes will understand. Everything is a joke to him and if he can make you laugh he will. He loves Trucks and cars. He will spend hours driving toy cars around the floor and furniture. His favorite color is yellow. He talks all the time but it isn't always the nicest thing in the world. He likes to be a parrot and if your in the middle of a conversation he is usually sitting behind you repeating every word you say. He loves to tease everybody but especially Bridger, and Bridger plays right into it. Which makes Branson do it even more. 

 

 

Me: Really what I said in the beginning is pretty much true. I spend my days chasing my Boys all three of them. :) Yes Jon is a boy. I'm still serving as 1st counselor in the Primary Presidency going on 3 years. I'm also the Primary representative over the Scouts. I'm still Crossing at the school. Which will be nice cause that's the school Bridger will go to in the Fall. I did just have surgery. A hysterectomy in fact. I have been having difficulties in that area. After much praying and fasting we received the answer that it was time to be done having children. So I am still getting used to the idea that Jock straps and Cars will be my life. Boy Scouts and Missionaries. I'm hoping I can help them prepare as much as possible. After spending all those years in YW's and Girls Camp. I feel like I'm in a new world with Boy Scouts. But it will be good and anew challenge for me. Well I hope that kinda somes up what life has been for us lately. I hope everything is well for all of you.

 



Halloween

We had fun this year for Halloween. Bridger was old enough he got into it this year and yes he actually wore a costume.  Several actually.  :/ He had decide

d earlier he was going to go as a puppy, but then at last minute he wanted to be a dinosaur.  So I ended up buying a dinosaur costume on Halloween. Branson also had a costume change at left minute. He was going as a pumpkin, but it was so cold. That I change him to a warmer costume. Then Jon and tried to do Duck Dynasty. But his beard wasn't anywhere near long enough,and lets face it. I'm no Kori. We trunk or treated at the stake center and I was picked for one of the best decorated cars. I was pretty stoaked. Ok so I'm a stay at home mom.  I don't get out much. Anyway we had fun.  It was cold but fun.
