Chocolate Gravy.....

In my family we have a tradition of biscuits with chocolate gravy. I loved it as a kid and still do, although my taste buds have changed somewhat I enjoy a more traditional sausage gravy. My kids on the other hand love the chocolate and little Jett is no different. I made it over the weekend and gave him some for the first time and as you can tell from picture he absolutely loved it. This kid will eat just about anything and he eats alot. He out-ate his BIG brother Jace this morning. He ate 2 1/2 pancakes while Jace was good with 2. They say he is dropping on his weight and height percentages at the Dr., but that is definately not because he doesn't eat.

Roosevelt Lake 2009!!!

Wow I can't believe our family reunion has already come and gone. After 8 days my kids were worn out, but after just one day of being home we were all ready to go back. My family loves this great time with cousins, aunts and uncles, grandma's and grandpa's, and maybe not so much with Mom and Dad. Thanks a ton to Mom and Dad/Grams and Papa for making this week so much fun and mostly keeping us fed. There is so much work that goes into this great week, but my parents love to do it just to get everyone together. "Thanks Mom and Dad you really are the best"!

Caelin loved the knee board she would get out there and try to do tricks and just be laughing. She also loved the tubes which for some reason there are no pictures to post of those. She really has gotten brave this year and she would compete with the big boys/girls to see who could stay on the longest and she won on more than one occasion.

Jace loved the tubes as well, he figured out that he could stand up on them and try to surf while they were moving, he thought that was quite fun. He also loved to go fishing with Austin and even though he didn't catch anything he went back time and time again. Jace also was a bit of a daredevil, his uncle Trym took him to jump off a quite high (so I am told) cement pylon into the water. Some of the older kids said it was scary but according to Jace he climed right up and was the first one to jump in.


These two were inseperable for most of the week. Jeff was off all week except for Friday. Everywhere Jeff went Jett was there with him.

Jett loved the water even though I thought is was a bit chilly. When we made him get in the boat to leave he was not very happy.

He loved the water, the food, the boat, and most of all having his daddy right there with him all week long.



And then there is Jeff....I told somebody that when I saw him barefoot and then wakeboard I decided I liked him. He is a show-off for sure, but he is good at it.

Look at that AIR?!?!?

What an amazing time we had. So much at not near enough pictures to do the week justice. Other than the water sports, the kids also loved roasting marshmallows, eating homeade ice cream (almost every night), eating Papa's good food, and mostly just being outside to run and roam as they please.

And as for me it was just relaxing (even though I didn't get near as much sleep as I needed, unlike Sherra). I felt great and the kids were happy, who could ask for anything more.

Making It Official!

Today I am 15 weeks pregnant with baby number 4. I had a Dr. appointment today and things look great. I have had all kinds of morning sickness, just like with Caelin. I have been saying that I think it is a girl, but of course we will find out for sure when the baby makes the grand apperance. The official due date is December 7, 2009. I have had a sister or two tell me they will laugh when it comes out a boy. Caelin is so hoping for a girl and Jace got his little brother so he really isn't picky. However, he has said on many occasions that if it's a girl she will sleep in Caelin's room and Jett gets to sleep in his room. We aren't picky as to what we get we really just want another healthy happy baby. If it is a boy we may take a couple of days to come up with a name, where we have a couple of girl names already picked out.

First one Out, First one In!

This week Jace lost his very first tooth. He can officially start first grade. He was so excited he even pulled out by himself the same day he first noticed it was loose.

Jett is now 10 1/2 months old and he is finally getting his first tooth to come in. He shows us all the time when he smiles, but getting that on camera was a bit of a challenge.

If you look really really hard you might just be able to see it.
