CALI

We lost a great dog today! She went to heaven. She was 11 years old and she lived a wonderful full life. We spoiled her a lot. We got her when she was 3 years old while fostering her for the animal shelter I (Jayne) was working at in Utah. Jonathan fell in love with her so we decided to keep her. She has been all over the USA with us and she is a great dog. She passed away from natural causes. Our family will truly miss her she brought so much joy to our family! We love you Cali, Calliers, and Yoda all the names we called her. You were truly part of our family!

Ainsley is a First Grader!

How did this happen! How did my baby girl get a to be a big girl! I am so proud of her! She is going to do awesome this year!

Ainsley these days

So I thought I would write things down like a journal to keep of the things my kids are doing this time that is weird, funny, or what ever.

*so I am not sure if summer is the best thing for Ainsley because she is now attached to me. Not sure how school will go but she always wants to be with me and doesnt want me out of her sight. There for awhile she was even following me around the house. So I guess we will see. Maybe I should have done better with playdates. I know better for next year.

*She loves to cook and wants to cook for everyone. She loves her easy bake oven and she can do it all by her self. She is so proud of it too.

*she loves making jewelry too and loves to give them as gifts

*She is so giving always wanting to give something to someone and tell them she likes them.

*she doesn't like ice in her drinks. Really she doesn't like anything really cold.

*she loves dress up and changing her dresses all the time. She is so girly loves make-up, jewelry, and make-up

*she is so girly yet loves to catch bugs, lizards, frogs, and getting dirty

*She might be girly but she hates brushing her hair. I mean it is such a mess in the morning that it is a huge rat nest to brush. Honestly I hate brushing her hair too. This is why I must keep it short. She rocks her self to sleep always has since being a baby (I probably rocked her to long to get her to sleep so she made it a habit, I have no idea) but the rocking really does a number on her hair.

*she is so smart, she knows how to work electronics better than any 6 year old I know.

*she is still wanting to marry Kaden even after they moved and all she is a very determined girl.

Bobby These Days!

Some things that crack me up about this little guy that I want to remember. He is so funny.

*He holds his breath and scrunches up his face for prayer

*when he takes a bite of food he had to close his eyes (makes hard to eat)

*He eats everything upside down. Uses his utensils upside down, eats pizza upside down, toast, everything you can think of upside down its so funny and yet messy too

*he loves I mean loves anything toy story related or Buzz light year. when he throws a fit just pop in for a min and hes all better. He calls them or maybe just buzz BUZZ WOODY it is so fun to see him so excited for something.

*he sings along to the opening of toy story movies the Disney dadadadaaaaa its so dang cute. When ever he sees anything toy story he says BUZZ WOODY and get all excited and say hey mom buzz woody hey mom and he says yay!! buzz woody over and over again with such delight in his eyes.

*when he puts on underwear he can't wear any clothes and its like it gives him magic powers so he runs around the house with his arm out and saying something in Bobby talk that we have no idea what he is saying.

* when he is mad at his Ainsley he will scream at her and hit her but most of the time he will wait it out till she doesnt expect it and gets her back for whatever she has done to him.

*He knows what he wants and he wants what he wants.

*loves chocolate milk but he has to see you but the chocolate in and see it at the bottom of the cup before you mix it because we have tried to trick him too many times.

*He loves to be around the older kids ans thinks he is one of them. And so badly wishes he could be one of them to do what they do.

*out of both of my kids he likes to cuddle the most like sitting on my lap.

*he hates when people leave the house especially if it mommy or daddy.

*he loves car rides and loves being in the car. Most days I after I run an errand I have to try to get him out of the car.

*he loves to color on anything, especially him self. So don't be surprised if you see him all marked up in all different colors.

*he loves balls and cars

*he is all boy even when sister tries to hold him down and make him wear make up or jewelry.

*he likes to play fetch, yes I throw the ball he brings it back expect some times the dog (Hoagie) will beat him and he gets mad.

*he says Ainsley like azzeee so cute

*he likes to give knuckles

*he loves to race running around racing.

Jen came to Texas

Have I told you what an amazing husband I have! Well if not let me tell you again. Jonathan flew my BFF Jen down from Idaho Falls to come visit me for a week! It is great to have a friend who you can act totally free and goofy and they do they same. See pics down below. We act crazy and think its fun and laugh about it. There is very few people I can do this with since I am not sure how some will think about and me. So I keep it to very few. I am a very weird crazy person and love being silly. And so does Jen can you tell! Maybe that's why she is one of my BFF's. While she was here went to Olive Garden ( a tradition of ours cause I hubby's don't like it) this was a big night out yet very fun. We went and hung out with another BFF of mine that I can act crazy around Jewel. We went to Sanger to hang with her and went to the cemetery to visit my mom (my mom loved Jen and vice versa and she was not able to come to the funeral)and checked on my dads house since he was out of town. Jen hasn't been to my parents house since we were in college on our road trip we took. We went to church, played some games, watched some really funny movies, went to six flags, went to chucke cheese, and of course who could forget awesome shopping. Before Jen got here she wanted me to host a game night so she could meet a few of my close friends. So we had a game night that turned into a chat fest instead but oh so fun. She now wants to move to TX cause she thinks that everyone is amazing and so friendly. Oh how I wish her hubby would move here! That would be so awesome!!! The favorite part of her visit for me is just the time we spent and chatting up a storm. I love it and I love her so much! I am so blessed where I can see her once a year! Thanks Jen for coming and leaving your loving family to come to my crazy family to hang out.
