2008 Santa Pics have arrived!

So here they are! Tie was given a freebie because she wasn't looking in the camera on the first one and Jax pretty much had busted out of Santa's grasp by the time the first shot was taken! I love to torture Jax with Santa bahahahahaha. It will be my blackmail one day.

The funny thing is, ya know how boys don't cry and if they do they make up some silly reason like they smelled freshly cut onions or... something is stuck in their eye... Well Jax has already began making up reasons why...

So I got home from work last night and busted these out to show everyone and Jaxen ( sitting front and center) Denied he was crying because of his Santa clause fear, He said its cause he tasted that candy cane and it was hot, that santa made him cry ..LOL really Jax? He said, "Santa gave Jaxi a hot candy..." HMMM... Not so much! LOL anyways ! Here they are!!

SANTA CLAUSE PICS! YES!

So Last night We went to the Remax christmas Party, I don't work for Remax but we are the in- House lender for Remax so My office is in the Remax office. We only decided to come because Santa was here and they were taking pictures for free, Me and Gary are Cheapos so we decided that standing in a long line at the mall for a thirty dollar 4x6 was not a better idea than getting the freebie at the party so we went.
The moment we got home Jaxen was so excited he kept telling us that Santa was going to get him his "MOTE POWICE CAR" (or remote police car) We told him that he had to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what he wanted. He was intent on seeing santa even though in the past his fear of santa has gotten the best of him. As we arrived he searched the party till he saw Santa and then he had a melt down... LOL it was so funny! We, being horrible parents, just love the screaming santa pictures Jaxen has provided us with over the years and couldn't wait to add to the collection! We did Tieler first, she just kinda wiggled out of his arms and gave him a crazy look like who is the nut my mother is handing me to with the ridiculouse suit, hat, and beard? But Jax was the entertainment! He covered his eyes with both hands screaming and we got the shot! As we left and were putting Jax in his car seat he told us that he did not Love Santa Clause anymore because he did not receive his Powice car right then, as we laughed histerically he also proceded to tell us that he did not see santas sleigh and wanted to know where it was! We told him it was parked on the roof, he searched the roof but was disapointed he couldn't see it in the dark! He was not happy but we cannot wait to get the pics back! They should be here next week so we will be sure to put them up so everyone can enjoy them! I would encourage all of you with kids to take the time to get the santa pics because they are always funny to look at! We will probably use ours as black mail for Jaxen when he is older! Blackmail is good! The pic that is up is Jaxens Last Santa pic!! Isn't it perfect!!! LOL LOVE IT! It will be hard to beat!

Sunny Day at the Park

Because its been so sunny and warm we decided to take the kids to the park. Jada brought over Nyla and Sophia and we took some fun pictures of the kids. They play so well together! You don't get too many days in November like this! Enjoy um!

Halloween Fun

Well I am a little late so heres SOME of the halloween pics. They were on separate cameras so here is a few and I will add the other later. Jaxen was a police officer, His badge said "Officer Awesome" his costume was super cute it had built in muscles and the cutest hat ever he wanted to were the hat because it was keeping his head dry while trick or treating. He was so cute, we chose this costume because Jaxen LOVES to play the race car game on the playstation. He is better than I am! But in the game you get caught for speeding by the police and he is always trying to keep from getting pulled over but when he is caught he says "ah Man powice get you" ( he can't say his L's and he thinks saying you means me...)SO we thought it would be cute for him to be a police officer!

Tiler was a Pink Panther. Jada had a costume of Nylas from last year that Tieler wore it was so cute on her. We lost the tail trick or treating, but its ok we will make another one!! Tieoved wearing her costume as well we tried to get Tie to Say Trick or Treat but it wasn't happening, no suprise there! LOL We went to Grandma and Grandpa Walkers for soup and treats. Jax and Tie got to go trick or treating with Grandpa as well! Then we drove to Grandma and Grandpa Frisks house for wasil and treats. We had a lot of fun on Halloween the kids had a blast!!

So much to be happy for!

So much to be happy for! So today from the moment I woke up with Tieler shrieking to get out of bed, I have felt flooded with gratitude for everything I have and all the people in my life I had to just sit here and type it all out!!! So I really cant even explain how lucky I feel to be living here in AMERICA...and Utah! There are so many mothers, husbands, and children making a massive sacrifice with spouses and parents serving in Iraq for our country! We are so lucky to live in a country that isn't war torn or experiencing third world poverty. Every time I turn on the news I cannot help but think how crazy it would be to live and raise children in some of those places! My brother in law is in the air force and for the past 3+ years has left to Iraq for 5months out of the year and I cannot say how amazing the people who serve our country are! It cannot be easy to leave the life of comfort and the wives, husbands and children, and siblings in their lives!! And they do it for all of us to be able to have the freedom and safety we enjoy every day!! My husband! He is next... because he is sooo great! I am so lucky to have him in my life. Gary is my best-friend and the biggest supporter in my life. We have been through so much together and he has never left my side. He believes more in me than I do most of the time! He is everything I have ever wanted in a husband. In my darkest moments he is there to comfort, love, or make me laugh. He is the best father and is soooo involved in Jaxen and Tielers life. We are 50/50 and the best team! I absolutely love you gar, I am sure you will read this and I want to thank you for all the extra shifts you pick up when we are in need of extra money, the long hours you put in every day to support our family! For loving me through the chaos! And for giving me the most amazing sweet babies.... Jaxen my little man, I am so grateful that he is mine! He is the sweetest little boy. He is my little helper. He is so smart, he has quite the vocabulary sometimes I forget he is just three... I swear those random out of it bad hair days... Jaxen happens to tell me how pretty I am or that he " wuvs my shoes"... He hates when his room is messy, and just watching him run around at the park is so entertaining! I am so grateful for his health and all his many abilities!! He is such a good big brother to Tieler and he just loves her! He is always telling on her when she is getting into foods he knows she can't have or if she sticks anything in her mouth. I love my little tattle tale! My sweet little angel Jaxen...
Tieler... Like Jaxen I too could go on forever! Tie is our LITTLE sweet girl, she is always dancing and talking her gibberish. Tieler has really helped me gain a strength to be able to handle almost anything! She is always full of surprises... in Tielers little sixteen months I have watched her struggle and grow and I cannot say I would change her for the world, maybe take away whatever unnecessary pain but other than that she is mine and I feel like she took on the burden in our family of giving us strength through hardship. She is always getting into something and she will let you know when she is unhappy that you have taken away her newest discovery that she shouldn't have found in the first place... She loves to push Jaxens buttons like most little sisters do! ( he handles it well!) she loves to hold and squeeze her babies and then throw them on the ground? Tie is definitely been born to dance she will dance to any commercial music or anything you turn on! I cannot wait to see these to grow up even though Its sad it happens so fast!! I am so grateful that I have been given the chance to have children and be a mother; it is by far the most rewarding thing in life!! I am just in love with my two sweet babies!
I can't not not express how grateful I am for my two parents! My mom is also my family nurse and is always there night and day for whatever I need I cannot imagine my life without them they have done more for me than anyone in my life and are the best examples! They love me to the end of the world and appreciate them so much more than they know! My siblings!! Shauna, Tara, and Daniel!!I am so lucky to have them.... I am so grateful they we are close compared to so many other families!! I know they are always there for me and without the family I have I do not know where I would be. I feel so LUCKY that we are a family and that there is always so much love...Last but not least my FRIENDS, I have had the opportunity to be surrounded by so many awesome people in my life I have learned so many life lesson from these people, and cannot explain in words how grateful I am for all the people that have touched our lives!! My in laws and sister and brother laws have been so good to me and treated me like family since day one!! Thanks for the physical emotional and financial support all of you have given! I love you all THANKS!!!! for being a part of my so very blessed life!!!!!!!!!

So We have some great news some of you already know but last week at one of Tielers allergy appoinments we did some grains testing to re-test her wheat( because it was low initially) and we have since discovered Tielers wheat allergy has almost ceased!! We now have the o.k. to add wheat into her diet! We did discover she has a severe Rye allergy but who cares!! not us Rye is easy to avoid... wheat on the other hand is not!! Tie has been enjoying all sorts of things from graham crackers to spagetti! She is not happy when you put the box away she throws a massive fit but we have to laugh becasue she has never been allowed anything processed so it has opened many doors! We are absolutly thrilled!!!

Ok so I am still getting used to blogging and I am such a procrastinator but it's a work in progress, I know I have so many updates and its a nice form of keeping in touch so First things first, I am at my new job and have been for three weeks I am so stoked to be back in mortgage and Love working with Danell my new boss... She is great I am in my very own large office that is also very empy... I just have not had the time to put things up and my personal handy mans been working too much overtime to come hang my pic's. I would do it myself but they are huge and heavy... I love being part time again I am only working 12-5 and the money is better and I am able to make it to all of tielers appointments and I am not constantly Running from place to place the kids love it too. As for Gary he just had his 29th birthday on the 8th and I bought him a new Grill it is so nice we have been using it like crazy! He has been working lots and the overtime checks are great! Jaxen just got his well child check up last week at the doctor he is taller for his age which is funny being that me and gary are on the shorter end ( GARY is average height... excuse me...) but he is up to 34 pounds and I can't beleive how big he is he is growing up too fast!! He is on a new medication for his asthma which seems to be working alot better, he is actually taking it finally he has learned how to suck in his air its pretty funny. Jaxen is totally into coloring and making things with his art stuff he is a side walk chalk artist as well. He has been enjoying playing with Tie they can play so cute together they hide and gigle its fun to see them play together finally! As fot tieler she has had a hard six weeks after finally getting rid of the thrush that we could not get rid of, we come to find out that the reason she had lost her voice was becaus of a severe case of esophagitis. We had stopped giving her the prevacid with ok from the pediatrician and she devolped ulcers in her esophagus, we could not see them becasue of the crazy thrush that had spread down her throat. We feel terrible she has been dealing with this for over a month the esophigitus is painfull. :( But she is back on the medication and doing well the past few days we are hopeful that her voice will return and she can gain more weight. Sadly she lost almost a pound and a half dropping her back in the 2nd percentile ( SO FRUSTRATING) But the good news is we are finally starting soy milk this week! We are so over the formulas and she loves the taste! Hopefull we can bulk her up! She also is doing well in physical therapy she is almost there with the walking a few more months and she will be ready! She has been climbing up the slide like a spider its so funny she looks so small but she is so fast! I will upload the video of her on the slide when she gets to the top she turns around and slides and says WEE! It is so cute. With adversity comes strength, we are so blessed to have the health we do everytime we are at primarys I am so lucky that we are able to go back home, Even through times were we have been there for days we still go home. There's so many families with sick kids and I am grateful every day that we have been able to have things we can manage, Its not easy but manageble and for that were so blessed. We are so grateful for everyones love and support we have the best families and friends.

Getting Lost in it...

Wow! So 2008 has been a crazy year, I fell like I have been in a whirlwind of change and growth... I guess my perceptions have had a large amount of growth. I always thought when your were "old" or an "adult" or "a parent" life turns you into someone else, But I still feel like myself even though everything has changed! I cannot believe it is August.. and soon winter again :( Life happens too fast!
Well I am soon to be unemployed...Yay! But only in between jobs but the break will be awesome!!! I can't wait to have a couple weeks with the kids, Jaxen has been so much fun and so difficult... 3 wow; is a leap from 2 he is so smart but with his intelligence comes his desire to test the limits.... He has lots to say!! LOL Some of the stuff I seriuosly wonder were he thinks of it! Tonight he told me he was going to fix the truck and he would do a good job, just like daddy... Gary couldn't not smile it was cheesy but cute....
We are also celebrating the money saved now that we can buy soy formula!! YES!!! Tie gets to try it for two weeks and if all goes well (so far so good...) she will have it for 3 months and move to soy milk by eighteen months!! We are so psyched about the extra funds even though they will go staright to other things like all our funds do... :) it's a huge savings by 75% She seems to really like it and is adjusting smoothly!! (Thank Goodness!) We have had such a hard year but have learned so much, its been a week of reflection on the expeirences of life...Good and bad! Tomorrow's a new day!
