Jason is 6

Every birthday is filled with excitement around here.  I saw a cute idea of doing a birthday countdown.  I am going to have to make one of those.  I think it will be fun for each of the kids to count down their own birthday.  Jason has been especially excited this year.  It was a week long celebration for him.  David was out of town to New York on Jason’s big day so I tried to make it as special as I could without opening presents.  I took treats to his class, Hershey bars, upon his request.  He also got to wear the birthday crown in class.  I think he felt pretty special!

Then I took him out for a happy meal to McDonald’s and he enjoyed playing at the play place.  I met my friend Bonnie there with her 2 boys.  It’s been a while since seeing her, so it was fun to catch up!  She is expecting her 3rd boy!!

Thursday Jason got to go to the store and pick out a new toy with his birthday money from G & G McGary.  He was so excited to buy a BeyBlade.  A new hot toy out now.  Cameron and him have been having a blast playing together with it!

Friday David finally was home so he got to open his presents from us.  He was so excited to get a new Razor scooter and helmet.

He wasted no time in getting out and riding it for a few minutes before school.  Everyone wants to ride his scooter now!  After school we took the kids to Chuck E Cheese.  It’s been a few years since we have been and the kids were so excited when I asked Jason if that’s what he wanted to do for his birthday.

Jenna was so funny when she saw Chuck E Cheese.  She looked at me, waved goodbye and walked right up to him and just stared and then followed him around the play area.  She never would turn around for a picture.  She just wanted to look at him. 

The prizes from all those tickets! IMG_3383

Today Jason asked if he could have a cake.  Oh yeah.  So tonight I whipped up a chocolate cake and he was lucky to get the candles that don’t burn out with the first blow!

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 ...
