Bathtime

Jarren's new favorite thing: Bathtime.

If he is screaming, I put him the the bath...suddenly he's all smiles.

If he's throwing a fit, I put him in the bath.

If he's dirty I put him in the bath.

He also loves his blue duck.

Haha Funny!

3 Full Hours

I was actually able to attend three full hours of church today. Usually towards the end in relief society Jarren starts acting up and I have to walk out with him...not today! I actually signed my name on the roll, that hasn't happened in months.

TURBO JAM!!

Go me! I've done it two days in a row...it's been a while since I've done that.

Updates

Yesterday, I voted! Yay. Go Mitt!

Jarren has a new face he makes at you when he wants food that you are eating. Along with this face he bats his beautiful little eyes and he sighs. Where do kids learn these things?? He's only 6 months!

Another note...Jake wants a new job. His current one is not very workable, he can't ever be sick, which he is right now so he's going into work with a fever and swollen glands. This is stouffers everyone, what a great company. Anyway, if you are in the area and know of a good job let us know. He speaka da espanol also, so sometimes it helps right?

Also...spell check hasn't been working for me so if there is anything in here spelled incorrectly I apologize now.

Pots and Pans

I was cleaning out our cupboards and accidently banged some pans/cake pans together and Jarren busted up laughing. I didn't figure out at first what he was laughing at until I did it again. Now I know what to do when he won't stop crying.

Cancellations

I had no idea church could be cancelled. Today with about 45 minutes left our branch president told us to go home the snow was getting too bad. Alpine got 14 inches and they are just a little North of us. I know we got about a foot where we are if not more.

SO MUCH SNOW!

Apparently I'm not the only one who didn't know this. Kirk's response:

"church can get canceled? they can do that sorta stuff?"

I've been tagged!

10 random things about me.



1. I LOVE to cook, I cook dinner everynight and I love to try new things.



2. I can make a dolphine noise and a car alarm noise.



3. I had to get my wisdom teeth out a month after giving birth to Jarren. In which I got an infection and dry sockets, not the best experience.



4. I had to have two toe nails removed after having my wisdom teeth removed because of how much swelling I had in my feet while pregnant. (the first two months after birth were from heck.)



5. In the past 5 years something bad has always happened on my birthday, some of which include: 2 family friends died on my birthday in different years, knee surgery, a colonoscopy... the list goes on.



6. I love to scrapbook. Unfortunantly my wedding scrapbook is put on hold for now, while I'm working on Jarren's. I want to try to keep up with his growth rather than go back and do it all at once.

7. I love to sew, I've made several quilts and clothing in my life time. Latest was Jake's Utah Jazz quilt for his birthday.

8. I go ghost hunting with my friends.

9. I've lived in 7 different cities in two states. But 18 out of 21 years have been in Utah.

10. I hate chocolate.

The Art and Mastery...

Of a Sippy Cup. I bought Jarren a sippy cup on Monday since he turned 6 months. It is really funny to sit and watch him try to master it. He will chew on the spout rather than suck on it like he should. I guess since it is not as soft as a bottle nipple he won't suck on it. Eventually he will get the hang of it.



A few other things we have tried in the last 3 days of being 6 months...Banana's, and Gerber Cookies. He LOVES them both. When the banana's were all gone he threw a fit. Same thing with the cookie, but it wasn't even gone, if he dropped it on the floor or down on the high chair's seat he would burst into tears like it was the end of the world.

Things he has learned in the last couple weeks:

1. Lifting his head up and peaking over the bumper on his crib. Now he knows when I'm laying in bed and if he sees me he cries and yells at me.

2. Sticking his tounge out and lifting it up and down

3. Blowing his lips to create spit.

4. My all time favorite...Throwing fits.

He also loves to pull the blanket over his head when he sleeps.

Amazing Man

I just found out about 30 minutes ago that the President of our church died. It's a sad moment for us on Earth, but I'm sure there are many rejoices in heaven, including from his wife. I'm so happy he gets to be with her again. Things like this make you grateful for the time you have with people. He was an amazing man and did amazing things for our church. We will always remember him and the impact he had on everyone, including non-members.

We love you President Hinckley

Happy Birthday Jake...4 days early.

Hubalub's birthday is on Tuesday and we had a "friend party" for him tonight. It was pretty fun. We had lots of pizza, snacks...chips and salsa, Brian's famous GUACAMOLE DIP MMmmmm, some candy and cookies and I made Jake a freakin sweet cake. I haven't made an actual "birthday cake" outside of a pan before, you know where you frost the whole thing and decorate, I thought it turned out pretty well and he loved it so that is all that matters right?

We played games and some of us watched a movie. I believe the party was a success, but that is only one person's opinion.

Happy early Birthday Hubalub!
