Arizona

We got to go down to Arizona this last weekend to see Jake's side of the Family. Shanna and Kasey got to bless their 4th child Brenna! It was way fun and lots of kids for Reed to play with. He mastered the stairs and now can go up and down them all by himself. He also can go up and down slides and open doors. He is getting to smart and sometimes I wish he wouldn't learn to do those things. It makes me nervous that he is going to get hurt!
Well I guess it has to happen sometime..

3 Years Already!

I can't believe its already been 3 years. Its seems like I've been with Jake all my life, but it feels like we just got married yesterday. I love him more and more everyday, and he is the best daddy to our little guy. I'm so glad that I got so lucky. I can't wait for the many years to come.. love you jake.



Now for the Reed monster!!
He is getting WAY to much personality these days. He is the biggest cheeser and loves to smile at the camera.

Everytime I open the laundry room door he bolts to the dryer. He will do anything to get inside it.
Reeds first haircut! He looks to much like a boy. He is growing up to fast...
He is a kissing fool. well more like an open mouth slobber on your cheek, but its so cute, and he loves to give hugs and kisses all the time now.
my handsome boy!
and this is the latest pic. I sent this to my mom because I was worried about his rash. So we took him to the doctor and they said its just hives. But we don't know where he is getting them. So sometime soon we need to take him to allergy tested. Poor little man.

Friday Confessional...

I thought this was a fun little thing to do!
Its very therapeutic...

I Confess...

• I took a bath last just so that jake couldn't. I always get jealous when he takes one first.
• I locked Reed in his Room this morning while I got ready. He cried and I ignored him.
  
• i must have eaten something weird a couple nights ago because I got hives all over my lips, but just on my lips. It was terrible.
  
• i am addicted to facebook. Its pretty much the only thing to do while I am at work, but it has created an addiction.
  
• Not only am I addicted to facebook, but I'm addicted to that stupid bejeweled blitz game. dam you bejeweled. AND i still don't have the high score.
• i let Reed eat a cinnamon heart candy. I watched him pick it up and eat it and then spit it out. It was very cute.
  
• i hate using the bathroom. I have no idea why, but I'm always very anxious when I am in there. (definitely not a read the newspaper on the john kinda girl)
• i had another bladder infection -- probably caused by the statement above.
• I had walking pneumonia last week too, it was awful, I had to take two antibiotics which made me want to hurl.
  
• i let reed play with all the measuring cups in the bottom drawer in my kitchen. They usually end up all over the floor and I just put them back in the drawer at the end of the day. I don't wash them.

That is all. man I feel better.

a day in the life of reed..

Jan 18th was Reed's birthday. He had a great time. Thanks to everyone that came! We let him destroy his own birthday cake! He found it strange at first, but as soon as he tasted that sugar he couldn't shove it in his mouth fast enough! needless to say it was rough going to bed that night.
He has been so funny about the camera lately too. He just does the cutest smile ever when I say smile. I love it!



He has found that he can crawl in ANY drawer! and all of them are going to fall apart.

Reeds having a birthday!

EVERYONE IS INVITED! I sent out invites late.. so if you didn't get it you are still invited!

Here we are. At a new year again. I can't believe that last year I was sitting around at home ready to pop pregnant. I'm so glad that is not the case this year.
We had an interesting good Christmas this year. I went up north to spend it with my family.
Jake had to work pretty much the whole entire weekend. So it was no fun for him.
Reed wasn't sure what everyone was doing but I think he had a great time.

I got the camera out right when Reed woke up and asked him to smile and he did..

Such a beautiful season.

{Merry Christmas}

Merry Christmas everyone! I can't believe that its that time again. It just seems like the years just go faster and faster. I just wanted to do a little update on the fam.

Jake is currently working at Diamond Ranch Academy. He is a youth supervisor up there. He likes it for the most part. It has its ups and downs. He is also still working for pinnacle security. He is in the process of recruiting for this next summer. So he is staying plenty busy. He was also recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. He wasn't to happy about that, but he is dealing with it, and doing fine. He is going back to school here in the spring. We will let you know when he decides on a career. :)

I am currently working at Interstate Rock. I love it there and they seem to really like me. I am just working and enjoying being a mom! Being a Mom is the hardest, most rewarding job there is. I am pretty boring for the most part right now.

Reed is the most exciting part of our family. He is growing so fast. He is WALKING now. He is doing so many new things. He eats big people food now. He refuses his baby food. He is starting to say words. Dad is his favorite. He also says dog, and will not say Mom. He waves now, gives high fives, gives big kisses and hugs, and points at everything. He is just the cutest little guy and we love him so much..
