Finally 4!!

Jason has reached the ripe old age of 4! He has been waiting for this day for a long time! He was so excited to have a special day just for him. We celebrated on Sunday because David was going to be out of town on Monday and Tuesday. We got home from the family reunion Saturday night at 7:30 and after unloading the car, Cameron, Melanie and I left to Walmart to get presents and a little food for the fridge to last us till Monday. After camping all week and traveling for 11 hours, I looked like quite the gem shopping!!
I think Cameron was just as excited. More boy toys to play with!
He got these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from g & g Lee. And these Power Rangers from g & g McGary. He was in heaven will all his new action figures!!
I just love this boy so much. He is so shy and quiet at times and just the opposite other times. Every week in Primary he will sit on his teacher's lap. She must love it too because she holds out her arms to him when he walks in. Jason is an extremely smart boy and he picks up on things very quickly. He is always quoting his favorite movies while playing in his room. He still stutters a lot. I hope he grows out of that soon! His favorite game is the alphabet game on the Leap Frog's Letter Factory movie. He knows all of his sounds and letters. He will have a couple of years for school yet. Jason's favorite person is Cameron. He shares so good with him and I often find them asleep together on the same bed at night after talking and playing together. I'm really glad that they have each other because there aren't a lot of out going boys in our neighborhood their ages. I would love to snuggle up with Jason, if he'd let me. He is not a snuggler, but he does like your fingers to run through his hair. So I will settle with that. I'm excited to see Jason grow up and see what kind of a boy, young man and man he will become.

Happy birthday Jason!!! 4 is an exciting age. It sounds like you guys have been up to a lot lately. Glad things are going well. I loved the cute school pictures and I agree with you on "Confessions of a Shopaholic!" It's worth watching twice.

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
