Jackson's 1st Birthday

I can't believe my baby is 1. Seems like we just had him. How fast this year has went by. It has been different having a little boy but it is so wonderful. Jackson's birthday was actually on September 19th, but we had to wait to have his party because Kennedy had her tonsils out that day. We had him such a cute birthday party. It was done in "Curious George". We had all our family over for brunch. Instead of cake we had Banana Cream pies. It turned out great. Jackson did have his very own cake. I let the girls pick it out and they wanted chocolate. When we first gave it to him it just looked at it, so I helped him put one hand in and after that he took over from there. When we finally took it from him he cried.

Jackson brings so much joy to our family and we love him so much. HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY JACKSON!!!

Bye Bye Tonsils

Waiting for the nurse to come get me

Ryan had to get one last picture of her tonsils

Kennedy getting her ride to the surgical room

Shhhhhh - She's sleeping

Finally she woke up!! We got a little smile

On Friday September 19th Kennedy was able to get rid of her tonsils. This is going to be a wonderful thing for her. You would not believe the snoring that comes out of this beautiful little girl. It is soooo loud. She also has sleep apnea and stops breathing while she sleeps. Hopefully taking her tonsils out will get rid out all of this. She was so brave when we had to say goodbye and they took her to the surgical room. We had it done at Primary Children's Hospital. They were wonderful and they sure know what they're doing when it comes to children. Kennedy was able to ride in a wagon to the surgical room. After the surgery she was so great in the recovery room. All the nurses kept coming over and saying how cute she was and what beautiful hair she has. She has to miss all week of school, so she'll be home with me this week and we'll be doing home school. She keeps asking if she can go play outside or at her friend Jimena's, but she can't get to rough or it can start to bleed and she'll have to have surgery again.

WELL Friday was also another BIG day. Jackson turned 1 years old. We have been so busy we haven't been able to have his party yet. But this Sunday will be his BIG celebration. HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY JACKSON!!!

Reagan - Preschool

Well today was finally Reagan's BIG day. She started her second year of pre-school. Kennedy started school 2 weeks ago and Reagan would keep asking "Mom when do I get to go to school". Her cousin Brooklyn will be going to school with her this year so she is really excited. Reagan has the same teachers as last year so she was excited to see them again. I was able to volunteer today so I could see how her first day went. The school she attends really likes for parents to volunteer so they give a discount if you do. I like to volunteer so I can have more one on one time with Reagan and she loves it when I come. Reagan is such a happy kid and fun to be around. She is turning into such a young lady (or boy). If you know Reagan you know what I mean. We love her sooo much. Good Luck In Pre-School.

WOW - We had so much fun today. We went to Lagoon with my family. We went on Rattle Snake Rapids and got SOAKED!!! Me and my sister-in-law Lisa got the worst of it. We also went on WICKED. The name really fits this ride. It was a great ride. The kids sure had a great time, but was really really tired at the end of the day. We have season passes so we'll be going again next Sunday.

We went camping again over Labor Day weekend. We came home a little early because it started raining, but we had tons of fun. My mom and dad came with us and they really enjoyed it. We like camping at Soapstone (In the Uinta's) because your right up in the mountains and there is alot of four-wheeling trails. We usually put about 60 miles on our four-wheelers each trip. The girls have there own little four-wheeler. Kennedy is really good at riding and Reagan is starting to learn. The kids have so much fun but they get really dirty. The girls wanted to ride with grandma so my dad had to ride one the back of mine because he has seizures and isn't suppose to drive. The kids love to go for rides but Reagan and Jackson always fall asleep.
