Happy Birthday Jett!

Happy Birthday to Jett!
SEVEN YEARS OLD!

We all had a great time celebrating Jett's birthday. At school everyone sang happy birthday and he got to pick a treat. Then in class he got birthday cards and I brought cupcakes for everyone. He loved it of course. Then Daddy picked him up from school and took him out to Burgerville for lunch and then to the store to pick out a toy. He got a cool shotgun! That evening Jett asked for chili for his birthday dinner - nice and easy for me ;) and then we took off to Grandma's house for dessert with the family!
It was so nice for everyone to come and celebrate Jett! He got totally spoiled and loves all of his cool presents. He has seriously watched his movies over and over and over already and he wants to play Battleship everyday. They do lots of shooting with the shotgun and all the dart guns and he looks so handsome in his new clothes. The puzzle has been fun to put together, the books are fun to do and he's in love with all the spy gear - especially the cool watch! Thank you everyone for loving our boy so much! It was a great birthday and he loves being a seven year old! Now just one more year til the big eight!!

Hubbie's Hobbies - Airsoft Edition

So Jayson is not in want when it comes to hobbies. I'm glad he finds fun things to do that he can enjoy. His all time love is riding dirtbikes, but skiing, cycling, air-chair, ping pong, snow-skiing, water-skiing, etc. keep his interest and he loves it all. We sometimes joke by trying to guess what the next "toy" will be. Recently however, his attention has gone to guns. He loves the real kind and wants to get a Taurus 800-series (?) soon to add to his 22-rifle and his 357 mag. I don't mind- I'm all for protection and I rather enjoy going out shooting. However, he has also discovered the joys of airsoft! This is a wave that has hit every Rowley man and has spread to a couple others as well. At first it was the cheap pistols from Fred Meyer that you have to rack manually after every shot. They were fun for a while, but then dreams of automatic pistols came alive and they all got awesome, real-life-like pistols that came with extra magazines and could shoot a lot more rounds per game with more firepower and simulated the real thing. These are awesome and so much fun...but...they don't work very well in the cold winter weather. And wouldn't an airsoft rifle be so cool?!! Thus we have entered the era of airsoft. All the guys now own their own airsoft rifles that have full and semi-automatic shooting capablilities, can hold hundreds of rounds in a mag and have even MORE POWER. Yeah it hurts more too and the guys often come home with bb-sized welts or scabs, but they're real men and they LOVE it! Now they don their camouflage and head out to the back yard and enjoy games like terrorist vs. SWAT, and one-on-one with a ghost shooter, and other awesome games that help them develop their army man skillz. So even though he's way into this new hobby, I'm actually okay with it. He gets to spend quality time with his bros and his dad, he has fun, gets exercise running around, and he's actually really good at it. He's also been good about balancing family time with his airsoft so hey - bring it on and have fun!

Baby Bump 2011!

Well the nurses were right! It seems like it just happened over night!...or at least in the last week or so. To me it really just feels like a lot of fat and a little bit of baby but I'm tired of sucking it in so there it is!

A little sassiness...

and a little bit more...

I know its a lot of pictures of the same thing but oh well...!

Brycen gets a BONK!

So...

On Wednesday, Drew called me at work, just before I was ready to come home and said something like this: "This is an emergency! I need you to come home right now because we might need to take Brycen to the emergency room and I need you to hold him!" To which I said, "What!?!" So he proceeded to tell me that Brycen was playing on the couch and fell off, head first into the corner of the coffee table. He split the bridge of his nose and above his eye. So I raced home, (following all traffic laws of course... well, mostly!) and found Brycen on Drew's lap with an icepack on his head. Drew said he was so brave, he hardly cried at all but he was a little pale and just wanted to cuddle with his mama. We decided that he didn't need stitches, but we did use a few butterfly band aids just in case.

The next day he was pretty swollen across his nose and he had a black eye. But it's kinda cute because he is so little and it doesn't slow him down a bit! He is such a trooper!

All smiles for the camera!

The butterfly band aids didn't last too long so I resorted to regular band aids. However all I had was Dora and Disney Princess, so we went with Dora. (I later purchased some Toy Story band aids for him.)

Well, our first big BONK is out of the way - and I'm sure there will be many more to come! :)
