Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Miranda's awards

Miranda recieved 3 awards at the end of the year assembly. She got a music award, Student of the Month (for November) and perfect attendance! She is such a special little girl! She loves music, so that didn't suprise me, however, student of the month was a little puzzling, since she comes home often with a "yellow" sticker for talking..... wonder where she gets that from!!

I am so proud of her!

Merry Christmas to MEEEE!

My new beauty!

Tannon "helping" Logan...

For Christmas, Logan decided to get me a new sink and faucet. Doesn't sound too spectacular until you see what I have been living with! This house came with the basic sink and faucet and it barely fit 2 bowls in it! I HATED IT! I complained all the time about it. So he decided to take us to home depot on Tuesday and told me we were gonna buy the sink. He was gonna suprise me, but figured it should probably pick which one I wanted, smart man! So here is my new sink and faucet. I LOVE IT!! THANK YOU LOGAN! I am so happy, its retarded how excited I am

over a new sink!!

Birthday Party

We had a birthday party for Derek (Heather's son) and Trevor (Brandon's son) on Friday night and Brandon's house. Heather made the best chicken tacos ever, well, I helped and so did Braulio (did I spell that right?) who is Heather's boyfriend. The food was fantastic and the kids had a blast running around the house and yard. It was fun! I love having family parties!! I just can't believe how old my nephews are getting! I remember when they were babies and I used to babysit little baby Derek..... sniff sniff!!

Pretty Princess Turkey

In Kindergarten the kids were sent home with a turkey cut out and told to "disguise" it for Thanksgiving. Well, I enlisted the help of my Mother In Law Rhonda, cause crafts are right up her alley. Miranda wanted it to be a princess, so we went to Joanns and got some stuff and this is what she came out like!! Little frightening, but we had fun!! Notice the detail that went into this, that is ALL Rhonda, she lives for this!!  I am so lucky to have her around to help, cause I was clueless! Crafts are not my cup of tea and they actually make me panicky!

There has been nothing exciting to report. Well, we did get a new van. Yes, I drive a van.... LOL... We had to get a new one because our current one has been deemed a lemon by Toyota because it makes a weird mating whale sound when I brake and they can't fix it. There fore they are buying it back. Hasn't happened yet, but they promise it will happen soon. So we went out and bought ourselves a Honda. Done with toyota for a while, they are not very helpful! Our new one has a DVD player which was a MUST for me! I love it! It makes Tannon so happy! Kaston still screams everywhere we go, not much hope for him, or me!! 

We are just busy getting christmas done and bought. We did decorate the day before Thanksgiving. That was fun! Our tree looks like kids decorated it!! But it was decorated with LOVE! Notice there are no ornaments on the bottom, Kaston has gotten all of them. So we moved them up. Thats all from us!

Man-Pri's

Yes, he is really wearing those pants. I did not put those on him, he found them on the floor and decided to wear them around the house. Those happen to be Kaston's 6-12 month pants. I did not let him out of the house in these, so don't worry! Just had to show them off!!

Sleeping arrangements

First off let me say that All my kids have their own rooms. But that doesn't seem to matter to them. The all congregate in Kylan's room and sleep on his twin bed. Well I guess not all are ON his bed, some sleep UNDER his bed. We have to force Tannon to sleep in his own room. It's a fight every night! And Miranda refuses to sleep in her room too. So I have given up on her. She will decide her room is OK eventually! We are tryin to decide if we should just move our spare double bed into Kylan's room so they all can sleep comfortably in there!!!

What the heck!?

Yes, he is wearing a wife beater! He loves them!

Notice the miss matched shoes. And the new hair cut!!

Ok, Tannon is my "special" child, he is very unique and has a quirky personality. Well this just adds to it, the older 3 went outside to play in our dirt, since we haven't landscaped yet, so Tannon runs to the shoe box to get his shoes. I assume its HIS shoes he is getting. Not so. I go outside and here he is in MY flip flops. Ok.... those don't quite fit you buddy, but whatever. Fast forward to that night, Logan wanted to go to Walmart to get some stuff to make salsa, so we load up and I tell the kids to get their shoes on. Normal occurance here, they all know how to get their own shoes except the littlest guy. So we go toward walmart and Logan decides we need to do something about Tannons hair so we go to AZ hair company. We walk in and not only notice how dirty Tannons hair is, but he has 2 different shoes on!!! OK now we are officially white trash. Thank you! I was so embarrased! Serves me right to not check what they are wearing before we leave the house!! I give up!! Gotta love the goofy kids!

Been MIA

I can't believe I haven't posted in over a week, not sure why. Nothing too exciting to post on! The boys have been pretty sick with whatever crap is going around. Kaston is sprouting 6, yes 6 teeth and has been miserable! He has been sick for about 2 weeks now and is just getting better. Hasn't been too much fun over at the Jack household! Logan has been home about 4 days in the past 4 weeks! He travels a lot, not sure why the traveling has been so bunched up, but that's they way it is! So all in all, nothing too great over here but buggers and crying!! Hope all of you are doing better than we are!!!

Trunk or Treat

Papa with the kids

We went with Greg, McKenna, Andy and Hayden to Greg's wards trunk or treat. It was lots of fun! Lots of kids there and candy. Tannon was overwhelmed with how much candy there was. Every time someone put candy in his bucket, he looked at it like it was manna from Heaven. It was a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday to our Baby!

I cannot believe my baby is 1! I am so happy that he is here with us and healthy as can be! You wouldn't know he had a bit of a rough start in the beginning, but all is well with him! I love this little boy so much!

Now I can't keep him away from the food! And he is always smiling, well, when he is not yelling at me to feed him!!!
Nice cheezy grin he kept giving me! I just wanna eat him!!!

Ok so his birthday was on the 30th of September, but we have been late getting birthdays together! So here is his birthday party.

Camping

We decided to go camping with Heather and her kids and Tyler. Not one of our best ideas. It rained and so we decided to just go to Sycamore Creek..... again, not one of our best ideas. This trip would've been fun if not for the hordes of BIG red ants that shared our camp site, or the bullhead thorns that covered our shoes as we walked, or the rain.... or the kids..... take your pick! Needless to say, I don't ever wanna camp again, but that's nothin new since I don't enjoy that anyway! On a good note, the kids did have fun, so I guess it was worth our misery!!


Max was confused as to where he was sleeping and Kaston was not havin any of it!!


The kids side of the trailer!

Randomness

I can't believe this baby is almost 1!! He is definately our little baby!!

Thats just not a toy, but he doesn't seem to get it!
I seeeee youuuuu




This was taken about 5 months ago. Too cute! "I want my mommy!"

My Husband

Ok, this may be cheesey, but I took this picture of Logan today for a brochure he has to put together for work and I thought I would post them here. I think he looks HOT!! I love him!!

Yeah Kylan

Today Kylan got a Certificate of Citizenship at an awards ceremony for having Exemplary Behavior! Of course this comes as no suprise to me, he really is such a sweet little boy! And being the spectacular mom I am, I totally forgot the camera.... so no pictures! But he did get a certificate. He was so embarassed to be up there with the other kids, the look on his face was a mixture of fear and confusion!! Very cute!! I am so proud of my boy!
