The Syrett Family

Yeah I suck!

2009-11-06T14:17:00.006-07:00

So I totally suck at blogging.....So here it is about 6months of info in about one paragraph. Life has been real busy. Lance seems to be always gone on business trips, when he is home its great! Jaxon is 8 months old now. Ugh, he is so damn cute, he is crawling and has a real fun personality. Corbyn and Blake are as active as ever. Corbyn will be 5 in January and Blake will be 3 in December. We acquired a new dog a few months ago, his name is Harper and he is the brother to my sisters alaskan malamute. He has a lot of personality and thinks he is a little lap dog or kitty that can lay on your lap when your on the couch. Here are some pictures of us over the last few months.

Easter and Stuff, yeah I suck at blogging lately!

2009-05-05T17:03:00.006-06:00

Well, yeah I have sucked at blogging for the last few months, but I hav e a good excuse. So here's the last month in a flash......we blessed Jaxon on Easter, thus my whole family was up here except for matthew and michael. The kids all got to do an easter egg hunt in my yard, there was about 2 hours of decent weather that day, so we did it as fast as we could. Lance took a bunch of the boys and some smaller kids, my dad and bro in laws hiking around tropic. My mom and I spent most of the weekend cooking for Jaxons blessing, and Cindi's dog Sampson, a huge Alaskan Malamute spent most his time takign advantage of my handicap golden retriever Rusty, he's got a bum hip. All in all it was a lot of fun and here a a bunch of pictures from that weekend.

Here's Cindi showing her attitude.....

Idont know what Corbyn was doing but it was sure funny.....

Jaxon just chillin on my couch.....

Jaxin is 1 months old!!!!

2009-04-08T17:30:00.005-06:00

Well, the last 4 weeks have been pretty busy for the Syrett family. Jaxon is one month old!!! I have been a slacker and havn't posted very much lately so here is an update. Jaxon had been such a good baby, it should be illegal. I guess I cant really complain cause my other two boys were pretty good babies too. Just my luck if I ever get a girl, she'll be the pain. Jaxon is just content to snuggle. If I could lay him on my chest all day he would stay there and never move. Lance thinks its a little unfair cause he doesnt do that with him, but who do you think he spends his whole day with. I just wish he would stay this size for a little bit longer, I dont like it when they get big. Surprisingly I have found that so far going from one to two was harder than going from two to three.

Baby Jaxon Updates

2009-03-12T17:09:00.006-06:00

So I took Jaxon to his first doctors appointment yesterday, and the doctor says he is perfect. He did lose a little weight, he weighs 7lbs 13 oz now, but he says most babies lose between 8-10oz and he lost nine. Blake only lost 2 oz, but he was a baracuda baby. Jaxon also had jaundice and had to be put on lights at home, mainly from the bruising he got from being beat out of me. Doc says that he is okay now. Now I had to post someof these pictures for my sister ashley. She made him this little beanie and we all though he looked kind of like a thug in this outfit. But that goes with his complexion, cause he is alot darker than is brothers and everyone calls him my littel indian baby. My mom and I have been looking through pictures trying to figure out who he looks like more, and found he doesnt look a whole lot like his brothers, we found some of Aimees baby pictures and then some of her little girl Ellee and couldnt believe how much he looks like her. My mom says that Aimee must have made him cause he looks so much like her.
So I kind of think he looks like his grandpa John in this picture, got that permanent frown going on.
He looks alot like Ellee, Aimees little girl in this picture. He's got that chinese/indian thing going.

These are for you Ashley, he's my little gangsta thug.
More of his gangsta thug look

So I had to put these pictures on here too. The day we came home from the hospital, my boys were at Lance's moms house and when she brought them home she told us he had hit his lip on their coffee table, but all night you couldnt really tell, then the next morning we wake up to this. It got so big his upper lip would sag.
Here you can see that not only his lip but part of his face was a bit swollen too, yeah he is a bit of a mess.

Baby's Here!!!!

2009-03-11T10:29:00.004-06:00

Here is my sweet boy! Isnt he pathetic.

Corbyn is the proudest big brother...Blake is a little more clueless.

Here's Jaxon gettng his first bath, had to wash all that hair.

Man, I really looked like crap after I came out of surgery.

Jaxon at the hospital......

Its the proud papa snuggling with his boy....

This is Blake right after he was born, the poor thing got pretty beat up during delivery, it was pretty rough.

Here he is chillin, which is pretty much all he does.

Here we are in the operating room right after he was born....

Jaxon MaKay Syrett was born on Saturday March 7th at 4:06pm. He weighed in at 8lbs 6oz and was 20.5 inches long. His coming was quite a surprise for anyone that knows my history. I went to my doctors appointment last Thursday and Dr Gatherum said nothing had changed, I had not dilated or anything, which was not a surprise for us cause I never do and have to have c-sections anyway. SO I went home with a c-section planned for the 13th of march. When I got home that night I was helping last rearrange our room and suddenly felt like I peed my pant just a little . I didnt think anything of it cause I stopped after that. Then the next night Friday, it happened again a few times. Saturday morning Lance panicked and told me to call my doctor so I did and they said I might be leaking fluid so we got all ready and packed for us and the kids just in case we were going to stay, which we didnt really think would happen. We dropped the kids off at Lance's parents and headed over to Cedar. The ran some tests and the test came back that it was negative for fluid, so we thought that we were going home and the nurse said that my doctor wanted me checked just to be safe. She checked me and found I was dilated to a 2, 90% effaced and really thin, and for someone that had never gone into labor on my own I was shocked. Then the contractions started to get worse. They did an ultrasound and found that my fluid was quite low and that I probably did have a slow leak of fluid, I just hadnt leaked enough that day to detect it. So about an hour later, I was wheeled in and had my c-section done. It was quite a surprise, but a very happy one. Jaxon is the sweetest baby ever. I keep thinking he will wake up and show his true colors but he is just content to be.

Uncomfortable PJs

2009-02-24T10:13:00.002-07:00

So the other night Lance was getting the kids dressed after their bath and Corbyn comes up to me and complains that his pajama bottoms were bugging him, I started busting up laughing. Corbyn likes to wear boxers and I just bought him some new ones but they are still a little too big. So Lance put them on Corbyn and apparently his PJ botttoms were too tight for his large boxers. It was the funniest thing to look at and I showed Lance and what was even funnier is that he couldnt see the problem. I guess he doesn't mind having his underwear all bunched up in his pants around his waist.

Snow Day!!

2009-02-17T17:38:00.007-07:00

Well, last night we got a ton of snow, and today the kids were aching to go out and play in it. We went out and decided to build a snowman. They loved it. I got some real cute pictures of them playing and working on the snowman. Here are some of them.

As for me, I found that a nine month pregnant girl look even worse in a snow suit, who would have though.

Blake's Ironman day!

2009-02-12T15:52:00.002-07:00

So we have started to try to potty train Blake and he has become so obsessed with ironman that when we found ironman underwear we bought them hoping to encourage him. On the same shopping trip Lance found hats and gloves with ironman on them that were on clearance for 3 dollars. So we bought each boy a pair. Apparently if you wear the gloves and the hat you become ironman and thus for the next few days they ran around the house shooting with their gloves and thier hats over their eyes. So one day Blake found his underwear and threw a fit until I put them on the outside of his clothes, he finished the outfit with his hat and gloves, its what he wore all day.
Nice outfit dont you think, the undies on the outside really finish it off.

I liked this pic cause you could really get a good view of ironman......

Isnt Bhe just "special" in this outfit. He did have a cute outfit on before this.

This is just another picture from when he had lunch that day, he really got into it.

Is this a character shot or what?

Baby Update

2009-02-06T12:33:00.002-07:00

So I went to the doctor yesterday and he had tentatively scheduled my C-section for March 13. That is better than my original due date, March 22. Unless I go into labor on my own, that is what the plan is. I was measuring about 2 weeks ahead, but now I am about right again so who knows, part of me hopes I go into labor before the 13, but I honeslty am ok with whatever as long as they baby is healthy, even though I am more than done. Lance asked me not to tell people that he was going to kill me after I have the baby, he says he never said that, and I say "yes, you did, I remember because I laughed at you when you said it, you must have been so caught up you dont remember." He want everyone you know that he really doesnt want to kill me. My doctor sure thought it was funny, though. So I guess that gives my 5 more weeks until I am done. At least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Pregnancy Update

2009-02-02T12:36:00.002-07:00

Well, anyone that has been around me lately knows that I have had it with this pregnancy. I am done. I have about 5 weeks left and that just isnt soon enough for Lance. He says he is going to send me somewhere for the next 5 weeks and then after I have the baby he might kill me. Guess I am pretty aweful to live with right now, but I tell him that if he felt like I did he would have a short fuse too. I dont know if its the third child syndrome but the last two pregnancies seemed funner. So now that I have done my complaining for the day, I should say that I am excited. I think Corbyn is the most excited. He says that he cant wait to see baby arielman(ironman) thats the name he has picked out. We will have to think about it. I should say that I have been trying to bribe my doctor for what day he will do my c-section, but no luck yet. We will see, just my luck I will go into labor with this one, since I never did with the last 2.

My New Pics

2009-02-02T11:49:00.002-07:00

So I got a new digital camera for Christmas and I am finally getting around to testing it out. So I decided to take some pictures of my boys. Here they are Corbyn is 4years old now and Blake is 2.

Happy Birthday

2009-01-16T12:59:00.001-07:00

Just like to say happy birthday to my sister. Miss you tons.

Snow Update

2008-12-16T08:50:00.006-07:00

So this is what we woke up to this morning. It did not stop snowing all day yesterday and into the night. It is currently still snowing. This is the view out my front door, right after Lance shoveled the walk.

There is at least a foot on top of our fence, its crazy, wonder if its ever going to stop.

This is the view out my backyard. I'd say that visibility is quite limited.

Now I have to go get my kids in their snow suits cause I promised Corbyn that I would. Wish me luck.

Look what we got today!!

2008-12-15T16:51:00.003-07:00

So it started to snow this morning, it didnt seem like much at the time, but then it never stopped. It has been snowing all day. I am not sure how much we have gotten, but there's alot out there. Corbyn is already asking if we can go sledding on the hill behind our house. His daddy will have to take him this year. I will will wait until I am abotu 38 weeks and then threaten my doc that if he doesnt do the c-section now, I will go put myself into labor. I am sure it wont work but cant hurt to try.
This is my front yard, yes my cute candy canes are almost covered and you cant even see my lights anymore.

Another view of my front yard.

This is my back porch and the rest of my backyard.

I let the dogs out to check the snow out. This is Layla's first snow and she doesnt seem to like it all that much, other than realizing that she can eat it.

Rusty loves the snow, he'll go out there and lay in it like its a nice sunny day, wierdo.

He is probably Blakes favorite person, even over me or Lance. Ok, so I am tagging Ashely, LaRee, Janice, and Cindi(suck it and do it.)ps thats just for Cindi.

Ok so apparently we can only get boys. I guess I forgot to post on here that I was having another boy. Even though its yet another I am really excited. Boys are fun and easy, at least mine are. I was running late the other day trying to get my boys ready and with one quick comb through their hair was done and then I thought oh if I was having a girl I would be in real trouble cause its something Im just not used to having to do, spend time doing hair. Yeah, I would love to have a girl, maybe next time. It will be fun to have all these tall boys in my house to do all my honey-do's since I am not tall. Anyways, there you have it, boys, boys, and more boys!!!

2008-12-10T10:36:00.000-07:00

Here are our Halloween pictures. As you can see Blake was Spongebob, and Corbyn was Patrick, his dumb friend. This was all Corbyns idea. I couldn't believe I found costumes small enough for them. Thank you ebay.

So I was obesessed with Blakes hair this day cause he had just woke up from a nap and it was all over the place, it was cracking us up.

Here they are carving pumpkins, Corbyn loved doing this, Blake was alittle scared of them to tell you the truth. He really didnt like it when we lit them, but he soon got over it.

Oh my white trash looking boys, lovely.

GREETINGS FROM HAWAII!!

2008-12-10T09:56:00.000-07:00

Ok so I have been a total slacker the last few months, I am finally getting around to getting my Hawaii pictures on here. Hope you enjoy.
These are pictures from Pearl Harbor, this is the Arizona Memorial and this is the ship that is able to be seen from above water.

This is the oil that is still leaking from the arizona battleship.

This is called the Blowhole Lookout, I am guessing because the water gets blown through the hole in the rock.

This was the sunset at Paradise Cove where we had a luau. It was lots of fun.

Here is another picture from Pearl Harbor. Lance was feeling a little envious.

Here we are a the Paradise Cove Luau again.

This is at Hanauma Bay, where lots of people go snorkeling and scuba diving. I chilled on the beach while Lance attempted. You know how I feel about the ocean.

Hanauma Bay again

This was at the Dole Pineapple Plantation. OK, so I have craved pineapple my whole pregnancy and everyone told me how much better it is in Hawaii. So I think I outate just about everyone. I could not get enough it was so good, so we went to the Dole Plantation mostly cause I wanted more pineapple, it is true, its way better in Hawaii. This does cause problems cause when you get home no other pineapple is as good.

This is me at Wimea Valley, a really sacred place. Lance loved these trees, like the one behind me they were huge and the tops all came together almost making a natural umbrella. It was a really pretty place. This was also the place where I saw a girl that looked just like Aimee, my sis. I am not exaggerating in any way, she was a spitting image of her with short hair. So I have decided that Aimee is just on a long vacation in Hawaii. It did give me a bit of a panic attack though.

Here we are at Wimea Falls which is at the end of Wimea Valley. You can get in the water and go swimming, but pregnant women are not allowed for some reason so that was out.

Here we are at the Temple. Its a really pretty temple but it is a lot smaller than I expected.

Here I am stopping to eat (again)at a shrimp shack, it was so good. Pretty much all we did was eat while we were there.

Here is the beach right by the shrimp shack, it was so bizarre that this was how the view was all the was around the island.

We're in Hawaii

2008-10-18T21:51:00.000-06:00

Well we landed in Hawaii this morning at 5:15 after taking a red eye flight so lets just say that we are a little messed up on when to eat and sleep. Its so nice here, I will post some pics soon, today is our recuperation from flying all night. Even as tired as we are it has been alot of fun so far. Funny story though. Lance had been under the assumption that we were flying out on Sunday morning at 2:30. SO he called yesterday at 5 to check on our flight to make sure that it had not been cancelled and they proceeded to tell him yes it was still departing Saturday morning at 2:30. Anyone catch that? So he calls me from work in a panic and tells me that we are to fly out that night which meant we had to leave our house by 7 or 8 to make it to vegas before our flight. So lets just say that we were running around like crazy people trying to get packed, etc. So were are here a day earlier than planned but thats ok I dont mind one bit other than I miss my kids like crazy.

Picnic at Tropic Reservoir

2008-09-24T11:08:00.000-06:00

Well, the a few Saturdays ago, Lance looked at me and asked me what we should do that day, and we didnt really have that much to do around the house so we decided to go to Tropic Reservoir for a picnic. The boys though it was so much fun. I guess we forget that we have places like this that are ten minutes from our house. Corbyn cant seem to get any cheesier in this picture
The found out about trhowing rocks into the lake.
Kay so I think they were overdoing it with the rock size a bit.

Blake chowing down on chips and dip.

How cute is this
Blake giving me a big kiss..

Our Beach Trip

2008-09-24T10:42:00.001-06:00

So we recently got back from San Diego where my parents rented a beach house for a week. It was lots of fun. Most of the family were there and the kids got to do a lot of playing on the beach while the adults mostly ate. Here's Corbyn with some of his cousins at Point Loma
Here is the most decent pic I could get of my boys while at the tide pools at Point Loma.
Here are all the cousins that were there except for my bros kids and aimees kids
We attempted to get a decent family picture but as you can see it didnt quite work out

I told ashley I was going to put this at the front of my blog as my family picture. We were at the wild aminal park and she had to have a wheel chair so that the baby would stay in.
Blake at the wild animal park, he was really excited, can't you tell
Corbyn at the beach
Blake at the beach, he didnt like the water and he was scared of the sea weed, he thought they were fishies.

Corbyn on the safari at the wild animal park, it was hot!!!

Corbyn's First Day of School

2008-09-24T10:36:00.000-06:00

So Corbyn is now in pre-school and I had to get a picture of him going in. He loves school. I wasnt sure how he was going to react to it but he loves it. That morning I had gotten his clothes out to wear and he continued to throw a fit because he didnt want to wear the pants I had for him. Did I mention that they were the last pair of pants that were long enough for him. Anyone that knows my boys know that they are tall giants for their age. Thus, I finally gave in and let him wear a pair of pants that were too short for him. Then I went and packed up the rest of the short ones so that he wouldnt have as many options. He looked like he was waiting for a flood.

Baby News

2008-09-07T19:00:00.000-06:00

Yes I did use bed rest as an excuse to read the twilight books. I read them all in one week. I was a little addicted. Anyways, had a check up and the doc says that the ultrasound looked good and I am now almost 13 weeks. A few days more than I thought I was, that always nice. I just got back from being at the beach for a week so I am wasted. I will post beach pics later. By the way, it has not been confirmed that I am having a girl. But Corbyn really thinks so, he tells his dad he is havign a baby sister and dad says, "dont you want another brother ?" and then they argue for a while about who's right. I just hope it stays where it is.

OK I HAVE TO FESS UP

2008-08-23T17:00:00.000-06:00

Well, I guess I had better announce this because it is starting to get out. I planned to keep it secret for another 2 weeks but 3 days ago while on the way home from cedar city I started bleeding pretty bad, so I called lance and he told me to go back to cedar to my doctor and he would meet me there, let me tell you that was a crappy experience. So when I got to the doctor, he did an ultrasound and the baby is still there, everything looks normal so far, so suddenly I am put on complete bed rest for the next week until my next appointment. Anyone that had been on bed rest, the first day is kind of nice, you get to rest and watch TV, then you start to go crazy. So my mom and sister showed up yesterday to help take care of me for a few days. Lance has been so good. He yells at me anytime I get up to do anything but pee. So hopefully everything will be ok and I can get back to normal life. So anyways, everything seems good right now, for the time being, guess we'll wait and see. I think everthing will be fine.

This is big for me because I am I was not a big runner prior to about 8 months ago. I am still not that good but I am thrilled that I have at least run as far as I have. I am not going for placing or a good time. I am going just to finish it.

NO MORE TONSILS

2008-04-10T16:46:00.000-06:00

So Tuesday Corbyn had his tonsils and adenoids out. The doctors said that his adenoids were taking up 90% more room than they should. Anyone that knows, Corbyn snored really bad and that is why I took him to te doctor cause it was turning into sleep apnea. It was aweful. Already he is snoring less and its only been two days. They say is takes a while before the swellign goes down and they are 100% . He did really well though. He was in and out in 30 minutes and has his good and bad moments. We are really glad he had it done. He already sleeps sounder.

A New Addition!!

2008-04-10T16:19:00.000-06:00

So for the last few months we have been thinking about getting another dog so that Rusty our Golden Retriever would have someone to play with so on Monday I went and picked up our new puppy, Layla. She is purebread chocolate lab and is 9 weeks old. She is so sweet. She is doing pretty well with the potty training but if anyone has any good advice share away. Rusty loves her and they spend most of their time wrestling. Corbyn is very protective of her. All I can say is its nice to have another girl in the house. She seems to be adjusting really well and I think Lance actually likes her!!!(Lance is adjusting to having a dog as a pet, this is foreign to him. Here are some cute pics
Rusty and Layla taking another nap. Yes Rusty did get shaved at the groomers and they shaved him way too short and left his leg hair long so now he looks like a poodle, greyhound mix. Talk about ugly, its not quite what I asked for, I cant wait till it grows out.
Here she is snuggling with corbyn, she loves to snuggle

wrestling with Rusty

San Fransisco or Bust!!!!

2008-04-10T16:12:00.000-06:00

Well the last 2 weeks have been quite busy for our family. We left for San Fransisco about 2 weeks ago and Lance and I were there for 3 days on a business trip. Yes only lance and I went grandma nutz watched them in Vegas. This was our first trip without our kids, and it was lots of fun. We got to go to this long 4 hour 5 course dinner show that was a mix of mystere and moulin rouge. It would have been really fun if it were only 2 hours, but 4 hours was too much. we went shopping and walked alot. Most the time was spent in meetings but when we had free time we went sightseeing as much as possible. We were right on the warf so we could see alcatraz and the golden gate bridge. It was pretty cool. Stupid me I left my camera home so I bought a disposable one and now I just need to get them developed so there might be pics soon.

HAPPY EASTER!!!!

2008-03-25T14:03:00.000-06:00

Here are some pictures of our kids on easter after the easter bunny came. Corbyn was real into it, Blake wasn't quite sure of what was going on but he did enjoy the candy.

First time away

2008-03-09T22:38:00.000-06:00

OK so Friday my friend and I decided we wanted to go to this Starving Artist art sale in ST George, and lucky us, our husbands decided they would stay home with the kids and we could go stay overnight and check out the sale on Saturday. It was the first time I have been away from my kids overnight, except for when I was having a baby, that doesn't count. It was so much fun. It kind of was weird though, nobody to chase, or drag to the car or clean up after at dinner, no we got to sit at dinner and we were actually okay waiting 30 minutes to get to our seat cause all we did was just sit. We had tons of fun and I got three really great paintings for almost nothing, its an awesome sale. I did miss my kids and my husband, it was good to go back home. We are planning on making it a regular thing, whether our husbands want us to or not.

Running

2008-02-28T17:45:00.000-07:00

OK, so one of my goals this year is to run a 10k and maybe a 1/2 marathon. I have been"training"(I use that word loosely) for about a month and a 1/2 and yesterday morning I ran 5 miles!!!! This is huge for me because I dont think I have ever ran 5 miles in my life. So I am almost to my first goal of 6 miles, thats less than half to my second goal. I dont know if I will make it to that one. Just my luck I'd get knocked up before I get there.

THE BIG 30!!!!

2008-02-28T16:58:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Lance !!!! He just turned the big 30 and he was not so excited about it. I decided to throw him a surprise birthday party. We had a bunch of friends over and Lance got so many cool gifts....... His mom and dad gave him a snore reduction pillow(for anyone that knows Lance, he tends to snore a bit). His sister gave him an enema and hemroid cream. Since he is thirty he is now an old man.

Heres Corbyn posing for the camera. Yeah he a little white trash without his shirt on but thats how we roll.
Heres our family with the birthday boy. Dont worry, Lance also got himslef an ipod, so he acutally got one real present. Lucky guy!!

He also got a really nice cake that was made with love by some of our friends
I do believe that he had the coolest birthday ever.

makin cookies

2008-02-25T18:06:00.000-07:00

The other day I was making chocolate chip cookies and Corbyn was playing with his playdough in the dining room and he came over to me while I was baking the cookies and handed me this tray that is the top of his playdough carton and had made me some cookies all by himself and put little round balls from another toy as the chocolate chips. I swear I gave him zero help, I didnt even know he was making them. They are so dang cool. He is my little artist. Now I can add baker to his list.
These are his gingerbread men that he made after he made me cookies. Notice the eyes, they are the same balls from the chocolate chip cookies. He's got quite an imagination.

Corbyn and Blake eating lunch

2008-02-25T17:55:00.000-07:00

Blake was eating a sugar cookie and the frosting ended up in his hair instead of his mouth
what a poser!!

The other day Corbyn and Blake and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch and corbyn managed to get more on his face than in his belly and Blake got more in his hair than anywhere else. Corbyn realized I was taking pictures and decided to start posing, thus the very lovely pictures.

Happy Valentines Day!!

2008-02-14T10:52:00.000-07:00

To all those who actually celebrate this holiday, Happy Valentines Day. For those that don't, have a good Thursday.

Happy Birthday Mom!!

2008-02-14T10:22:00.001-07:00

Happy Birthday to my mom, as you can see she is so special!!!

Saying Prayers

2008-02-12T14:44:00.000-07:00

Ok so lately we have been trying to get Corbyn to say the prayer at dinner, and his new thing to say when we ask him to say it is "I already said it last morning..." What else can you do but laugh. You know he had to have learned that from someone. If anyone has any suggestions for getting him to say them, let me know please.

2008-02-12T11:54:00.000-07:00

This is something I found on myheritage.com and this is extra funny because when joey fatone was on dancing with the stars, my nieces used say that they wanted to watch Lance dance.

Well, In the last few weeks we have gotten so much snow here, more than I have ever seen since I have lived here. Heres a few pictures from the last storm. This is the front of our house, we have had to shovel the walkway every day and now it is completely covered because of the drifts.
This is what it looks like off of our back porch. To give you perspective, the orch is about 6 inches from the ground.

Here are two of my boys going for a 4 wheeler ride in the snow. Corbyn loves playing in the snow and he loves the helmet he has on, he would wear it all day if I let him

2008-02-07T10:17:00.000-07:00

Here is Blake with his favorite person in the world at our super bowl party. He likes Bubba(Lances brother, real name Skyler), more than me or lance most of the time. He loves to cuddle with him, I do think that lance gets a little jealous, Lance says that Bubba must be his real dad. By the way, he is single so if anyone knows anyone, let me know

2007

2008-01-30T12:49:00.000-07:00

Well, 2007 was quite a year for us. Im just going to try to condense it a little. Blake was born on December 28th of 2006, your asking yourself what are you crazy having a kid at christmas, and the answer is yes. Our family was lucky to go on quite a few vacations in 2007. We also recieved some really tough trials. We had quite a few death in our family. In August of 2006, my sister Aimee passed away from complications to cosmetic surgery. That was awful, but to make things worse, Lance uncle Bob whom he worked with everyday and was eally close to died of a masive heart attack right before Christmas of 2007. Im not finished, On Christmas day, my uncle Dave was killed in an avalance near Oakley, UT. And then once more, my ex-sister in law was killed in a car accident in January of 2008. I guess I am not supposed to understand why this has happened but I know that through these trials, me and my family will grow stronger. I know that we will be blessed if we learn and grow from these experiences.
