Maybe I Can Help!

This morning Jack and I were outside pulling weeds, drawing pictures and watching lily eat bugs. Unfortunatly we overheard an arguement from one of our neighborhood friends. After the argueing had stopped, I thought to my self, ok I can see how she feels. I have one kid and sometimes its hard to take some time to sit and relax, and take a moment to your self without a child screaming or wanting you to hold him every second he is awake. When Justin returns home from work, he likes to sit and relax from a day of stupid co-workers or upset clients. Like us our "clients" or children aren't always happy with us, so we here about it for the next little while. Plus there is the cleaning and the dishes and the laundry that has to get done. I do get help from Justin, so that is a big plus.
Anyway, back to what I came up with. Some of the ladies in the ward are stay at home moms like myself, and it can get annoying when you feel like you can't just sit and do nothing, or go to the store without twenty kids by your side. Jack and I are at home most of the day, and Jack could always use somemore playtime with other kids. I thought now would be a great time for us to try and help out our ward family if we could. (And the light bulb turns on) What if I was able to take some of their kids for a few hours on days when they need some relaxation.
Now here's where you come in. I haven't quite thought of how to let the moms know that I will take there thier kids for a few hours when they need time to themselves. Because yes, all of you have done it. Someone tells you that they can help you in one way or another, but you never really thought to do so, or really didn't take them seriously. I am serious! What do you think I can say to make them actually believe that im serious?
Im not saying that I am starting my own day care center, but you know, chillin with two more kids that aren't mine for an hour or two.

Some feedback is appreciated. Good or Bad works, then I will know what you think about my idea.

"Lions and Tigers and Bears... Oh My!"

We are off to the Utah Hogle Zoo in the morning. This will be the first time for Jack and I. We will snap some shots for everyone that would like to see our fridays adventure. Be ready for animals of all shapes and sizes.






An Angel Went Home Today..


Sadly after our little family outing, we will be taking another trip that same day to Monroe Utah. Justins Uncle Larry past away from a brain tumor. We will miss him dearly and give our love to all family and friends that knew him. We will be gone for the weekend, but will have more info and pictures for you to see and experiences with us.

"Where there is death, there then comes life."

We will remember you Larry but we know you are in a happier and pain free place. And we will take care of your family as you have with ours.

Like Father Like Son

One day after Justin got home from work, they decided to do a photo shoot of sorts. Jack is very animated with his face and sometimes prefers to tell us what he thinks through his face espressions rather than say it. Daddy caught some of this on his camera phone. Of course Jack loves the camera so he starts showing us what he is capable of. Here are some of the faces we captured.

We don't know what this one is, but it made the final cut.

My goofy guys..

Show us your Grrr face!

They are they light of my life. As you can see they are funny and entertaining as well. Hopefully we can get Justin and Jack on here more often. Most of the time its just Mommy and Jack in all the photos so Its nice to have a change in pace.

Until next time.

This time around... Not as easy

You wouldn't think it would be so hard the second time, when the first time happened.. the first time.

(Picture of me and baby Jack)

On our honeymoon, we were lucky enough to get pregnant with our precious baby boy Jackson. When he turned fifteen months we thought it would be a good time to start trying for another kid. Well, its been five months and still nothing. I've been off the pill for like eight months, and yes I know it takes time for your body to get rid of all the effects. I was hopping that that part would be over by now. Maybe it is.

Well, yes, I guess I'm telling everyone that we are trying to have another baby. Nothing has happened yet, so don't go telling people were pregnant. I wish I was, but that's not the case.

Justin and I decided a while ago that we won't our kids to be about two years apart. Not to close, and not to far apart.

Jack is still our little baby but we aren't able to do the same things with him we used to. Plus we want to make our family bigger.

Well I have just vented again, but this time about a good thing (sort of).

Wish us luck!
