Video of Jace talking while stuffy!!

Last week we had some sickness=( Jace had a double ear infection, with fever, and all the symptoms of a head cold. I felt so bad because when I dropped him off with our friend he seemed a little fussy and I thought oh he just did not sleep well but by 12 in the after noon our little man was not feeling good. I ended up leaving work early to get him and we wen to the doctor. He was so funny while we were there he knew that the Dr's office is were we go to get shots because as soon as we were in the treatment room he started to freak out. We saw big tears, and lots of screaming.. When we got home he seemed okay, I think the cookie I gave him while at the store getting his antibiotic helped. I mean hello if a cookie does not cure the common cold then we are all doomed right? Jace was actually very mellow for having ears that hurt. We had a good few days of being lazy, I mostly enjoyed having my little guy right at my side at all times.(No Joke) I guess you gotta take the loves while you can sick or not sick!! Jace is so fun these days and we just wanted to share with you this fun video of him talking while he is sick. Sorry for the snot shot but we thought it made this moment memorable.

Family Fun

These past 2 weekends we have been blessed to have the company of family. Jace loves seeing his grandma and grandpa. He is even starting to call them that. We practice a lot looking at pictures and saying who everyone is. We also got to see Aunt Natalie and Uncle Tige or Tiger as Jace calls him. Parker and Colter came as well and Jace was so happy!! He has been asking about them for a while now and then they decided to come. If he could say this he would say "Dreams do come true mom" . We had so much fun playing with all the family. What a blessing it is to have them in our lives. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to drive up and see us!!! (And sorry you have to eat my poor cooking, I really am working on it=))

Baby it's WARM outside!!!

Today as in Friday, since today is actually Sunday, was the warmest day ever, Sixty degrees with a light breeze!! Ah the joys of living in Cheyenne. Since it was so nice we decided to have a fun day outside at the park. Jace had so much fun running around with his buddies Cooper and Piper. We played on the swings, slides, and of course the merry go round. It was sad to leave the park and go home for fear that the cold weather would sneak back in, and not to my surprise it is Sunday with over cast skies and cold. Oh well at least we were able to get outside for a day and dream of the summer that awaits us.

A Glimse into our night routine

Ahh is all I can say. I love being a mom=) Lately I have been reminded how blessed I am to have a sweet little boy to come home to after a hard days work. Our evening routine has gotten to be a time of chasing my stomping dinosaur boy!!! He loves to eat dinner and tell me that he is "done" Even though he has barely eaten anything. We take a bath, brush teeth and then the wild rumpus starts!! I then try to get him dressed but he usually out runs me and the clothes come after our fun!! Jace loves to run down the hall and he then falls to the floor and says "I going to get you", of course I tickle and smother him with kisses. He also likes to get onto the couch and flip the switches to turn on and off the fire place. I find it funny that he still has to pull the pillows off the couch to help push himself up!! Lately he has been stomping like a dinosaur and jumping up and down. Our conclusion for the night ends with reading lots of books followed by songs, and of course prayers. We then (Dan and I) turn off the lights and turn on the stars. I just feel like when life gets to be tough or hard to handle we always have our kids to brighten our day. I love that Jace greets me with a smile and yells mama, and how he is very much so a mamma's boy ! I am so grateful for family and the joy the bring to me. I am content to just BE.

Jewelry 101

For Christmas Dan got me some fun jewelry making stuff. He also found a class for me to attend so that I could have some help with getting started. Today I had the opportunity to attend a very small fun jewelry making class. I learned how to have focal beads, make clasps and how to design . I also got to make some earrings and that was super fun as well. Just thought I would show you my first masterpiece!!!

Jumping!!

I thought everyone would enjoy this!! Kasey is so good at catching Jace in the moment, when I try to take a picture he runs towards me or try's to grab the camera. In the last few weeks Jace has been getting very brave with his stunts. Cooper, his best bud loves to jump especially off the fireplace!! Jace has been watching and has now gone from sitting and sliding off to really jumping!! I can't believe this little "baby " is actually turning into a toddler!! So crazy how time fly's by. Thank you Kasey for always capturing Jace at his best!!!

The Five days of 2011

Lets see where to start. Last week on Tuesday Jace came down with a fever without any other symptoms, then the snow decided to come, and then Jace had symptoms of cough runny nose and not sleeping well at all!!! Needless to say our dreams of a fun New Years eve was slowly coming to a halt. On New Years Eve we did go to dinner which did not turn out to great poor Jace was over it.... We then had our friends over and I spent almost every hour going in to sooth our little man. We did however stay up until midnight with a big kiss New Years was here and all our dreams were going to come true because we stayed up right?? Well not so much our New Years started out with no sleep and a sick baby. Oh well this does not mean the year will be bad so I hope. We have had a busy couple of day all five of them. We have had workers at our house replacing our floor in the laundry room, today they started doing concrete(ours cracked so its being re-done) we have played with friends and oh I think I might have Jace's cold!! Life is good=) I am grateful for my cold because to me it means I am loved, how could I resist touching my little man he is to cute. Jace is changing everyday, I am amazed at his vocabulary he is really starting to blossom with his words and his personality is really coming out . Again I might say life is good and here's to a wonderful, crazy, busy 2011!!!
