Merry Christmas

For Christmas we opened all of our presents and the stuff from Santa.  Then we went to my mom's house for lunch and to open her presents.  Courtney got a scooter and Kade got a golf set.  They love them.  Sometimes I think that my mom knows my kids better then I do.  Thanks mom.  I had gotten a Wii from Blake and my little brother had gotten one too so I took mine over and we played that for a while and then Kade threw up on my mom's floor.  The kids had the stomach flu for a week and I thought that they were over it, I guess not.  I also forgot to tell you that Kade had his tonsils out on the 17th and Courtney got the flu the next day.  Kade wasn't to far behind and that is how we ended up with it for Christmas Day.  I think that we are finally over it.

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve we went to Blake's family party.  The kids all got to open their first present which was a hand made quilt from Grandma and Grandpa Wells.  Here is a picture of most of the kids who were there.

Lorna finally got  her little Indian baby (Ha Ha), Thanks to Chad and Chandra.

THE BOYS

Cami wanted to see the difference sizes of the baby boys in four weeks. The first picture Dylan is a day old. At least in the second one you can see their faces.

Meet the baby

I am finally getting around to blogging. It has been a crazy week. We went to the Doctor for a check up on Monday November 23 and he told us that he wanted to start me. I was already at a four and so he just started the pit. Not fun. In about seven hours we got to meet Dylan. He weighed only 6lbs. and 9oz. He is my smallest baby. He was also 20.5 inches long. That is my tallest baby. He was born at 11:03 P.M. What a long night. We got released on Wednesday and went to Thanksgiving Dinner on Thursday with my family. I was tired so I sent Blake and the Kids for the tree. I guess we will try not to do that again. It is a fine tree but it is a corner tree which I am not used to. I like big ones that can go in the front of the window. Then on Saturday we went out to Blake's parent's to redo the Kitchen for their Christmas present. Finally I get some time to rest. Dylan is a great sleeper for now. The kids adore him and will do anything for him. Now if I could get them to do it for me. Finally some Pictures.

Courtney

Seven years ago today Blake and I had our first baby. A baby girl that we named Courtney. We didn't know that she would be a girl, but how much excitement that she brought to our house. I just can't believe that she is getting so big already. HAPPY BIRTHDAY COURT!!!!

Tayson

I promised that I would show pictures of the new member of the family and here are a couple.


This is the one of him about three days before he came home. He is almost four weeks old in this picture and five weeks old tomorrow.


This is one of him on the day he was born. Sorry that it is not the best picture. He only had the mask on for a few hours, but of course it was while I was there.

What a little fighter that he is. We are glad to have him home now. Cheryl just isn't having very many people coming over because of everything that is going around. He is still so little. Every baby is a miracle in their own way.

New member of the family

My sisiter Cheryl and her husband Chase welcomed a new baby boy into the world on September 17, 2009. At 11:19 A.M. Tayson Chase was born weighing in at 3 lbs. and 8 ounces. He measured 17 inches long and was 9 weeks early. Both mom and baby are doing great. Cheryl can come home on Sunday, but the baby will stay for awhile. I have pictures , but i am posting from work and don't have my camera.

1st day of school

I can't believe that my oldest is already back to school. I am slow at posting but here is the back to scool photo. Not the best, but she had run out of time and we had to go.

My Garden

Here are the pictures of our garden this year. We had one pumpkin pplant and it only grew one pumpkin. There is also corn, peas, potatoes and eight tomatoe plants. There is one picture of my sweet peas. My Grandma always had these flowers. I plant them every year.

Thanks for the idea Marci.

anniversary

Today is Blake and I 8th anniversary. We had a crazy weekend. We went camping with the Wells' and got rained out so we ate the dinner at Scott and Andrea's new house. That was fun.

Our summer so far.

Courtney's Baseball Team

Here is a pretty big update because I am a horrible blogger. We have a official due date of the 8th of December. Courtney has finished baseball and she is now in swimming lessons. Kade is so jealous to just sit and watch her swim that today he played with rocks by the pool and had to have them wet. He can be so funny sometimes. For the 4th of July We went to the Paris parade and the kids brought home tons of candy. What a great time they had. after taht it was off to Mom's for lunch and then Blake had to go to work. We watched the firewoks in town by the park and they loved that. Then we went back to Mom's to do more of our own. The wind had picked up there and we only got to do sparklers. Kade had fallen asleep from town and wouldn't wake up.

Courtney doing Sparklers.

Courtney is brave enough this year to go down the slide.

New Camper

Blake has been looking for a camper since we have been married. In May we were in Pocatello and he had to go and look. Well I really liked this one and I told the guy I would Buy it. I took my husband by surprise, but now we have a new camper. This weekend we went camping. Everyone said we were dumb because it was going to rain all weekend. Friday turned out to be perfect. WE had a great weekend . Came home on Saturday and went to my cousins babyshower. My sisiter Cami had her baby on Friday. What a cutie. Sorry I have become horrible at picture taking and don't have any of camp.

What a couple of weeks

It started out with what we thought was our neighbors flood and then Blake went downstairs to find out that it we also had a leak. Ours was from the city line to the house so of course we got to pay for it. Our neighbors was all on the city side of the road. The city did all the work. We had just finished doing one side of the flower beds and of course that was the side that we had to dig up. We had huge fans in the basement drying the floors because it is all carpet. They were so loud that Courtney had to sleep upstairs on the couch for a week. That just wasn't working so I went downstairs to get ready for the morning and to start cleaning and I found that our water heater was starting to leak. Blake took the day off of work and we made a fast trip to Pocatello. Courtney still had to go to school and we didn't make it back in time to get her, thank goodness for great neighbors. they watched her until we got home and then we got the water heater installed. That is mostly what we have been up to. Also as a side note: as if you don't hear enough about pregnancy We are also Pregnant and due the End of November. I was able to hide this one really well and am still not showing except to me. The kids are so excited. This will make 22 grand-children for Lynn and Lorna.

I just want to throw a congratultions out to my two cousins and their new babies both born on the same day. Congrats cory and jolynne and Kendell and Stephanie.

Blake just can't get the farming out of him and the kids also love it. He has bought each one of them a cow and this last week they both had their calves. The kids were so excited and had to have a picture.

Also here are some From the Easter egg hunt at the Library for Storyhour.




Here are some Easter egg hunt Pictures from the hunt at my mom's house and the hunt at the Fairground that the City puts on.

Sorry we are so slow on posting these. Hope that everyone had a great easter.

What a Spring Break Week

Sorry it has already been a month since the last. Not much has changed. Courtney had Spring break and Kade and I had Birthdays, but we were sick for all but two days. Courtney is sick again today. I sure hope that we can get over this soon.

On Sturday it has the dance that the hospital holds. This was the first year that we took our kids. Blake ended up with a huge head cold and ended up not dancing a whole lot. Courtney loved the dance and Kade just wanted Mom to hold him. I was jealous of my daughter so I took my son and we went and danced. Once I got him out there he loved it. Blake came out and danced three dances with me and one with our daughter. Here are some cute pictures from that night.

Our Crazy Valentine's

Blake and I decided to take a trip. We left on the 13th and went to Salt Lake. We stayed in the Anniversary Inn. We really like the rooms having a theme. That night we also went through the Temple for the 2nd time, well the first time was three years ago for my cousin Cory's wedding. This time we went through a session and that was great. If you haven't been you should. After that we walked from our room four blocks and ate at a place called Rubio's. The weather was great and so was the food. We woke up to snow on the ground . It was gorgeous. There was only one problem, I forgot to take any pictures. I even took my camera and carried it around the whole time. On our way home we stoped at a place called Smith and Edwards. I had never been there before, and Blake said you could find anything you wanted. it was fun just to walk around a store without kids grabbing stuff off of the shelves. We saw lot of slide off and wrecks and got home at about 6:00. My mom had watched the kids over night and made heart cookies. They loved playing in the snow with her too. Courtney didn't look very well. We got them home and that night she stated to throw up. What a way to come home to. Then on Sunday with her still running a very high fever Kade joined in the fun. Needless to say I didn't get much sleep last night, but my sweet husband let me sleep in this morning. I hope that Blake and I don't get sick. That was are very romantic and crazy weekend.

Christmas was great. That day we had my family over for dinner because Blake had to work. After that we opened presents and then sat and Played games together. It snowed alot that day and they all pushed snow to get home. The next day we had Blake's family dinner. We played songs on the pipes like we do every year, and a game of basket ball was started. It was fun.

For New Years we went to have dinner with my extended family. There ended up being about 50 of us there that was great.
