Piece of Cake!

So. I'm sitting here at home, feeling sick (dumb flu) and really really wanting a piece of cake! I got sick yesterday, at work unfortunately, and haven't been feeling super since. I totally missed my family's bbq for Pioneer day yesterday, and was super bummed about that. I did see the fireworks for about 5 minutes, but thats pretty much it.

I went and got a piece of cake, but was thinking I probably shouldn't eat it, so I called Flee- who I have retained as my new 'diet enforcer!' She and I decided that this piece of cake wasn't worth it. (Since Steve is bringing me home a more yummy ((smaller)) piece from our niece's 1st Birthday Party.)

Anyway. So yeah. I've been sick the last two days, and I'm a little worried that I might still be sick tomorrow- since I have to work again. I think I'll go see the Dr. and see if I really have the flu- or what. If he says I can go to work with the cute babies- then I'll be ok!

I really don't have anything to say anymore. I'm thinking I maybe should end this post now, but for some insane reason I don't want to. Hmmmmm


Hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


So. Other than being sick, things are going pretty good for us! Jenni starts Kindergarten next month. I really don't know how I feel about it. I just don't feel old enough to have a kindergartner. And I don't know if I want to send Jenni to someone else for half the day. I hear moms talk about how they are so excited to have their kids in school, to have some free time, but I just don't feel that! I think I'll miss her! :*(

But I should be glad for her, She is SO excited. So stinkin' excited- its cute. And it will be a good time to get a bedtime set for her. Right now she just kinda goes to bed when we do! Probably not the best for a school-goer!

well. yeah. ALAS! That is all I can think to write about! Hope everyone is great!

ok thats all!

My kids are cuter than yours!

No, just kidding! I'm sure yours are so super cute too! (in fact I know most of them are since I know most of them. even the ones that I haven't actually met, like September and Spencer's, but I've seen pics, so I know they are cute!)

Ok, so I just had to brag for a little bit about how cute my kids are. The other day we decided to go out for a little picnic, just the four of us. (We would've invited Flee, but her family was in town for her brother's wedding, so she was in SLC) We left kinda late, about 7 pm ish, so some of the pics are kinda dark, but they're still cute. We went to the store and bought healthy food (cause we're trying to be healthy) and went to a park in Harvest Hills.

After we ate, the kids got on the playground stuff. It was really so so fun!

Joe-joe got on the baby swing, but wanted to be on the big kids swing with Jenni. He is such a cheeser! Seriously, you pull the camera out and he totally starts the cheese! silly kid!

Jenni didn't really want to take pics this night, she was more into playing with the other kids there! Oh and there was this one girl who was SOOO mean! She was probably Jenni's age. Jenni was in the Tube thing you walk through, and was almost at the end, but this girl was in the way. So Jenni says 'excuse me' and the girl totally pushes her all the way back to the other end! I couldn't believe it! and Jenni was so great, she just waited for the girl to put her arms down, and said 'excuse me' again, and walked around her back into the tube! What a sweetie!

Steve got Joe-Joe and they did the 'spider' in the swing. It was so funny- Joe-joe was just laughing his head off!! it was so cute.

Alas- the Sun told us it was time to go. But we had to get one last pic of our super cute kids!!! Really, kids are the greatest thing in the world!

It's Independence Day!!!

So this year for our nation's birthday we went to the Freedom Festival in Provo where we met up with Flee, Chuck and Camber, and Jory, Camber's sister. It was SO HOT! We were melting! We looked at a few of the shops, and then Jenni went down one of the big blow-up slides they had.

Then we all went and got snocones, and sat in some shade to try to cool off. It didn't work super well!

So Here's a picture of my cute friend flee (aka gimpy hee hee!)








.......

After the Freedom Festival, we went to Steve's Rent's house - the nexdoor neighbors were having a pool party, and the kids LOVED it! And it was a great way to cool off!

......

Jenni looked so cute in her little life jacket! (although she kept wanting to take it off because it was uncomfortable. I said no)

After swimming we went to grandma and grandpa's (aka frank and carol's) We had lots of yummy food, and sat and chilled for a while.

The kids just couldn't get enough of eachother!

L-R Jaxton, Whitney, Joe-joe, and Jenni

Like Father like son . . . . . like son.

I figured I should probably add one of me, even though I didn't really want to!

Joe-joe was being a cheeser! He was so excited to have a soda!

Finally, we went to Thanksgiving Point (or rather, across the freeway from Thanksgiving Point) to watch the fireworks. They were ok, but not as good as last time! It was still fun to al be together.

It was a fun day spent with Steve's family. And Chelle was excited to learn that the wind made it so Chelle's family was unable to do fireworks, so they saved the pack of at home foreworks for the 24th! WOO HOO!!

ok, thats all! (really, this is the last post for today! sorry it was so long!)

Orem Owlz Baseball game and fireworks

So, last week we went to the Orem Owlz baseball game. It was lots of fun, despite the fact that we were crushed! (We lost 7-1 to Idaho Falls) But it was still fun to be there with the kids, and Steve's 'rents. We even saw one of Chelle's old friends from way back when- Heather (Smart) Backman! She's doing great, and has an ADORABLE little boy! It was great!
Joe-joe LOVED the game! He kept saying 'ballgame! ballgame!" He loves balls, and ballgames of any kind! we're excited for football season to start! He's going to be our little athlete!

After the ball game we watched fireworks. Jenni was calm for the first minute or so, then she pretty much screamed for the rest of the time. She usually likes fireworks, but for some reason, she HATED these ones! (could have been the fact that we were like directly underneath them, and we kept getting rained on by little bits of fire!)
Joe-Joe, who has always loved fireworks and has never been bothered by the sound, didn't like it this time. He got all scared and wanted me to hold him. But he still wanted to watch them. So this was how we watched most of the fireworks!

All in all it was fun! and it was great to see Heather again! We're looking forward to the next Owlz home game! And maybe we'll actually win it this time!

Ok, thats all!

Yet another photo shoot of Jenni's

Ok, I know, 3 posts in one day! What am I becoming! who knew I would be such an avid blogger!! lets just hope it lasts!

So, like I mentioned in an earlier blog (Manti Pageant) Jenni likes to take pictures. I like to call them her photo shoots. She usually has some really funny pictures, and I just had to put some of these in here cause they were . . . well . . . I thought it was funny!

Jenni trying to take a picture of herself. I'm not really sure what the face is about?? Maybe she was trying to smile, but also trying to concentrate on taking the picture?!? I don't really know!!
Everyone loves lights, right! and aren't these lights at Cafe Rio just the most amazing lights you have ever seen??
She wanted to take a picture of Grant (Flee's 'little' brother). Yeah, I mean little in the figurative sense, because he is HUGE! Maye it's just that the last time I saw him was like 4 years ago, and he was not quite so tall, or buff, but seriously! He's only Flee's 'little' brother in the sense that he is younger than her!
There really are no words . . . . . . . . . . . .

Jenni wanted to take a pic and show me that she loved me, but I kept looking at her to see what she was doing. So she kept getting upset and telling me not to look, but for some reason, everyone else at the table was allowed to look! She is so cute! Silly little bug!

So yeah. Thats my Jenni-bug, the photographer! I hear she's taking orders in case you need a photographer for something. Her rates are pretty good too! If you're interested, please call 1-800-555-CUTE (hee hee hee! ok too many blogs in such a short time! It's time for me to go!)

thats, all!
