A Full Nights Sleep

I have to blog this so I can come back and read this over and over and know that it really did happen. Jaman and I had a FULL nights sleep last night. No kids woke up at all. No bottles. No bad dreams of witches. Nothing but wonderful zzzzzzzz's. Most of you wonderful moms with perfect children I am sure are thinking no big deal but I haven't gotten a night with no interruptions since being pregnant with Taylor. I forgot how wonderful it is and how refreshed I feel today. Now I know that is a very rare occation so I will post this and tonight when I am awake with one of my kids I will remember it did happen and maybe someday I might get lucky and have it happen again.

Update

Well I guess it is time to do an update. Jaman and I were working on the computer last night together on a project for the practice and he noticed the blog and said you are way behind and need to get something posted. Then I thought to myself I haven't really been taking very many pictures (very bad mommy) Well I wouldn' t say I am that bad of a mom just an extremely busy mom. Our lives have been full of lots of things going on just not a lot of pictures to show it.
Things that have been keeping us busy!
1- family (its amazing how many things go on and you go do when you live near family)
2- planting a garden (taking care of it)
3-taking care of a yard (what can I say we have lived in apartments for 5 years and haven't had to do this before)
4- Painting my table and chairs (Still love to take an old piece of furniture and recreate it. My brother had given me the table when we moved and my other brother the chairs. They were still in durable condition and had fun character. I painted them black and am waiting to distress- I must say I love the results - and I love that I didn't have to fork out a ton of money just yet. Although it was a lot of work and when it wears out I will be forking out money)
5- a new calling (being in a Relief Society Presidency is a lot of work. Lots of busy work, lots of meetings and lots of visits- I do love it though)
6- owning a business ( always work and projects going on when owning your own business-We are definately learning it has its PROS and CONS but are still so thankful for this wonderful oppotunity)
7- a new fun hobby ( We had to redo all of Jaman's vinyl lettering on his windows so we invested in a vinyl cutter/plotter. It has been so much fun creating something on the computer and cutting it out. The machine has already paid for itself so now I can just have fun!
8- BEING AN EVERYDAY MOM ( This should be number one because this is what keeps me the most busy. Trying to keep up with my busy children. Bridger still is not crawling just scooting around mostly backwards. Maybe I should be worried but I am so not ready for him to be crawling and have to worry about the stairs. It's funny how with your first you freak out if they aren't doing something at a certain age. He is my mellow boy compared to Taylor. He is content being in one place sitting and playing. Or his favorite place my arms. Taylor is still my extreme child. Always on the go wanting to do this and getting in to that. Always making one mess after another. She is a full time job but I love her. On top you always have the laundry, cooking, and dishes. So lately I have given up at always trying to have a perfectly clean house! I just can't keep up on it! So there are days when dishes sit in the sink, laundry is left unfolded but that is life!!
And welcome summer full of activities and family reunions!
Here are a few pics of the stages of life we are in!

Eight Months

Our little guy is growing up way to fast. I can't believe he is eight months old. He has been a lot of fun!

Updated Picture?

Well I tried taking an updated picture of Taylor and these are what I got. She is such a silly little girl when I try making her pose for a picture. I guess we need to work on that. Because I don't call any of these a Taylor smile!
My camera is getting so blury! I guess it is getting time for a new one! Or maybe it's because I can't get her to hold still for a second!

Growing Boy

This is how you will most find Bridger. Always putting something is his mouth. He has his two bottom teeth but must be working on some more.
I put him out on the grass and he was so facinated by it. He sat and played with it forever. Hence that is why I couldn't ever get a picture of him looking!

More dress up Fun!

What did I say she is loving the dress up box!
This picture reminds me of a model not wanting her picture taken. Such a great sense of style :) LOL
Who doesn't love Mr. Potato Head? Its hard to even pull Jaman away during Sacrament Meeting!

How far will a best friend go?

Taylor is loving the dress up box lately. I play some of the times but this time Taylor insited Bridger play and get a dress on. I am sure someday he will kill me for these pictures but as for now. He loves them!!
He started to get just a little bit fed up of more necklaces. After a while it was time for his mom to save him of this torture!
