A little time on a Saturday

Well I feel like I have been out of the blogging world for awhile. It has taken me awhile to get things settled and get the house somewhat together. So since we were actually home this weekend I thought I would take a second and get things a little updated before starting into Saturday's projects!!

Bridger's Blessing Day!!

We decided to wait and bless Bridger when we moved back. So this past weekend we blessed him at my parents ward. What a wonderful experience. I just tresure those precious blessings that Jaman has given our kids. Each blessing I hear my testimony of the priesthood is strengthend and renewed.

 

Here is the proud mama. I just love this little guy to pieces or should I say giant.

 

Taylor loves Bridger so much and loves when he smiles and giggles at her. I just know they are going to be the best of friends. Isn't is moments like these that being a parent is wonderful!!

 

These were all the Grandpa's that participated in the blessing. I am terrible and spaced getting a picture of all that helped with Bridger's blessing. So I will document that. Grandpa Silcock, Grandpa Brunson, Great Grandpa Skillings, Uncle Justin, Uncle Ryan, Uncle Cayd, Uncle Dustin, and Uncle John. Wonderful Priesthood Bearers that will be such wonderful examples in Bridger's life.

For some reason it didn't upload these pictures. I can't forget these ones of my two boys.

Nativity Tradition 2008

 

Every year my parents get all of us together and my mom dresses up all the grandkids for a Nativity. I LOVE this! We do it every year and my mom is the greatest. She has so much patience and dresses each one up and it is always with stuff around the house. She is always so creative. Then Grandpa reads from the scriptures. Taylor went through 3 costumes before being settled into her angel costume.

 

I had to laugh that she was an angel. At least she can dress up as one because lately Taylor has definately been no angel, but I do love her to death and wouldn't trade her for anything.

 

Of course we would have a handsome little baby Jesus (Bridger). I must be doing something right to have a son play Jesus :) What a great way to celebrate Christmas Eve. I look forward to next year. The only thing better is when we have all the grandkids. We were missing both of my brothers and their kids :(

 

Our Rental

 

 

 

 

Here is Jaman's next accomplishment in life. Finding us a place to rent. He did a good job. I know all you home owners are thinking what a dump, but to me coming from a 2 bedroom apartment this is HEAVEN. Just today I was blasting music and for once is 5 years I could do it and not worry about getting turned in. When Jaman emailed me these pictures my first comment was PINK carpet but it really isn't it is brown!! I am so thankful for a place to live. We are so blessed!

Jaman's Graduation

 

Here are some pictures of Jaman's Graduation! What an exciting day. I am so proud of Jaman and all his hard work. He is one that if he sets his mind to something he always reaches his goal.

 

WE DID IT!!!

 

Jaman and his parents!!

 

A quick update on our crazy life

Well since we are still snowed in at my parents I thought I would do a quick update on our life since it has changed so much in the last little while. I will get some pictures posted soon. Well we did it. Jaman is officially a doctor and all graduated. Yeah! I really can't believe how fast it all went. I treasure all our time in Missouri and Kansas. Those memories and friendships I hold dear. The kids and I flew home after graduation. Jaman and his Dad drove one car and my parents towed the other with the moving truck. We headed out a day earlier to beat the snow storm and we all made it safely back to Idaho. The kids and I came to my parents and Jaman and his dad went out searching for us a place to live. Lone and behold my husband did a fabulous job and found a 4 bedroom 2 bath house to rent for as much as a 3 bedroom apartment would have costed. It is even in a good neighborhood 3 houses down from his grandparents. I was in heaven coming from living in a two bedroom apartment for the last 5 years. I quickly learned that as I was unpacking that a closet can be just for clothes and not a store unit (my Kansas friends will understand this) And even better it has a fenced back yard. A must for my little wandering and mischievous Taylor. So a shout out to Jaman and his dad. It is a pink brick which wouldn't be my fav but the inside is completely remodeled like bran new so I can't be complaining.As I started to unpack I quickly learned how difficult that is with two kids and to make it even better we all came down with a nasty bug. Sore throats, congestion, and fevers. Welcome to Idaho right? If that wasn't enough it hasn't stopped snowing since we got here. Enough to get stuck in the driveway. And Jaman thought Kansas traffic was bad well welcome to Idaho Falls and all the stoplights and holiday traffic. My first day out I was at a light for about 15 minutes. I came home and was quick to say I thought we were moving to a smaller city. Don't get me wrong I am so excited to be back in Idaho Falls. We love it here. Other than that life is going great. Jaman has started work and is really getting the feel of what life is like as a chiropractor. He and the other Dr. see about 30-40 patients a day which is a lot more work than his clinic patients. His hours are great right now and I won't complain. It has been nice to have him home to help unpack and get settled. I am sure once the other Doctor leaves the 20 hour work weeks will not exist but for now I am treasuring it. We had a wonderful Christmas and it has been so nice to see all our family since being home. I love the feeling that I know I can hop in the car and in an hour and a half I can be home. Life is good right now and I feel so blessed. Taylor and Bridger are growing so fast. Especially my little boy. He is in the 95% for his height. He is a big boy and is now in 6-9 month clothes and just turned 3 months. I swear I am being cursed for all that last minute buy ahead shopping I did at Children's Place before I left Kansas. Oh well!!!
