Ryder with his gold Dollar from Grandma Mel.

Potty training

Grandma mel got a call saying Ryder lost his tooth and Jax goes in the toilet. So she sent Jaxon a little pair of under wear made out of paper with a gold dollar in it. He was excited he loves money.
I tried Potty training Jax a few weeks ago and quit. Well mainly mom wasn't ready. We still had a few good days to go to the pool. Ryder didn't understand that we had to stay home while we potty train. On the camping trip Jax would go #2 in the potty. The whole time we were there. So I thought it was stupid he poops in the potty but pees in his diaper. So when we got back it was time. He did ok at first. I was going nuts being in the house. But he got it. He is showing his flash under wear. I love there bums in the under wear. I get in trouble because I call them panties. But they are under wear. What ever he is 2. Instead of the diaper bag, I got out ryder's old back pack. Oh he loves it. There at first he wore it every where. No mom I need by pack pack. I need to go to school.

Ryder lost his first tooth

When we went to the dentist last. They asked if he had any loose teeth. I said no. Well they told me he has three. This is the first one gone. We were watching tv one night and I looked over and his tooth was bent way forward. So I went and got him a paper towel. And out came the tooth. He pulled it all by himself. And of course after pictures the tooth went right under the pillow for the tooth fairy!!!

Scholes Reunion 2012

Jaxon saying Hi to baby Conner
It Labor Day weekend so that means Scholes Reunion. We head up the canyon for a few nights.

This is my third child. Oh how I love to kiss these cheeks.

Craft time. Way to many Crafts!!!

The little kids playing the candy game. As soon as they got some they would eat it. Sometimes they were to busy eating to play the game.

So story: Before we came I asked Joani if she wanted her hair colored. She said no we wouldn't have time. So I didn't take anything with me. Well once we got there she asked if I could color her hair. She was despite . She went to town to buy a box color. We used a paint brush from a face painting kit my mom had. I told her you can't blame me if this does not work. Not bad for what we had to work with. She has learned to say Yes!!!

You know the kids are tired when they play going to bed.

Kindergarten First day!!!

KINDERGARTEN HERE I COME!!!!!

Awesome Backpack!!!

My BIG BOY!!!

Always, Always Jaxon is right behind Ryder. He is gonna miss Ryder!!! On the walk over to school ryder said his stomach felt funny. I asked him if he was nervous he said Kinda. We talked about making new friends and all the fun things he would do. And that it was ok to be nervous he would do great.

The walk to school. Luckily we live way close so he can walk.

Ryder's cubby.

Mrs. Siebach's class

Jaxon looking for Ryder.

Poor kid had a rough time. Which helped me, I had to deal with him so it wasn't that hard for me.
After we left the class room Jax just had a fall apart. I was hauling a screaming child through the halls. It has taken him a good two weeks to be ok with Ryder going to school with out him. He likes to yell, bye Ryder watch for cars!!
Ryder:
I can't believe you are old enough to start school. You were so ready to go. You have been my buddy for so long now I have to let you go. I will miss you. I am so proud of you and who you are becoming. I can't believe how much you know already. You are a smart kid. Just be patient sometime with thing and you will get it. Practice. Practice. You will do great!!! We love you so much!!!!

Ryder's 6th bday

Happy Birthday Ryder!!!!

After last year I said I would do a party ever other year. This year Ryder was lucky to have a cousin party. Grandma Mel and Grandpa Terry came and brought Carson and Brendon. Ryder was so excited. We all headed to Jump on it!!! The kids were pooped after an hour. We went and got lunch then headed back to the house for presents. I didn't do a cake for this party. Miah was the only who noticed. Jenny this is a birfday party........ Your suppose to have cake!!! Oh girl you make me laugh!!! She settled for a rice crispy treat.

MY big 6 year old.

After Jumping we ate a chick-fil-a. Craziness!!!!!

Sunday we had cake and ice cream for his birthday.

Grandma Mel was dieing to get on the tramps with the kids. I told I pay for her, but she wouldn't do it. The kids loved throwing the balls back and forth with her.

The farm with Joani and kids

I invited Joani and the boys to Two Dollar Tuesday at Thanksgiving Point. We went for the dinosaur museum but the line was wrapped around the building. So we chose the farm instead. I told Joani to go stand in line for the ponies while I take the kids around to see the animals. After about 30 min we get to the front of the line and Ryder and Brendon decide they don't want to ride. Oh yes you will we waited for this long get on the pony!!!! After this we went and got lunch and headed to Jump on it. Yes it was quit the day.

Todd and Brookes Wedding

This little guy was so tired. We all had a long day. When it came to get him ready with his tie and flower. Nope. Not gonna happen. He did but it on for like two seconds then he had a fall apart so we bagged it.
