But, one of my favorite times of year. We celebrated Jada and Luke's birthday with family on October 7th. On Luke's birthday we took him, Colt, Cade and Josh out of school early. The boy's blindfolded Luke, and we went to King Putt's, and played Laser Tag, and also played many games to win tickets to pick out a prizes! We had the place to ourselves, the boys had a blast! Luke said it was the best birthday ever! I am so glad, because he was bummed he did not get to have a friend party. Luke is still at a fun age where he gets excited about everything. He loves playing with friends and his brothers. Whenever we can't find Luke, we look in the front yard and he is either shooting hoops or riding his bike. He loves to be outside and playing catch with his dad. Oh, and he is also amazing at Mario Cart and Bowling on the Wii. I played him in bowling the other day and he bowled 4 strikes in a row! We love you Luke!<br />

We also had a fun day on Jada's birthday! She was happy to see her brother Josh play in his Flag Football game and then we took her to McDonald's for dinner. She loves to follow her sister everywhere. She is the best climber, her favorite climbing spots are the kitchen table and the pantry! She still does not say much, but she can make herself heard through high pitch screams, and pulling my hand to where she wants to go. Her curls are adorable and I have yet to trim her hair. Everyone in the house adores Little Miss Jada!<br />
<br />
I also took the girls to the Pumpkin Patch, they loved the rides and all of the pumpkins. They were a little nervous going down the big slide, so they had a little help from one of the workers. It was pretty funny seeing them going down the slide with him!<br />

We wanted to be surprised at the birth of our little baby. Well this morning I had to go in for another ultra sound, due to concerns the doctor had with my placenta. Everything was fine, but I could not resist to ask if she knew what the sex was, and the technician said she did. So Jason and I caved in and told her to tell us, so she did! So much for waiting......oh well, we are very happy to know we are having another girl!!!</div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnx8n_Gu90kB_tEmQm7r-tim8sGUS0goEbRNZWUUbGfHZvpJJmsWbf5Wx-NeIdbIEF8wdxNI5AdWihAikDX4cIgQGz15ssgdm-J_JANK-KKcB5H3CInBoPIkf6MRONoeWyC3J9SooSpZ8/s400/BABY+PICS_7.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495690257105180210" /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnZQaaQylCAOSVzs-8L6gq35zThwx_3LXSof5k3JAsYqylIggOWBE6StCxxDoPOPuKFrdOYW10YrjRp-S1geEz_uSZ0V0Scdu9_sLmxi-2TVqmDSS7BzcOuzEpzYqR5p0IzjSu68YV8P8/s400/BABY+PICS_12.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495690246281626466" />susanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02021377824537282784noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851555146753929734.post-41350312539651631902010-01-13T12:56:00.000-08:002010-01-13T14:45:31.588-08:00Grandpa Abbott<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil_70uyfjWbhgyJsmifQGygn1nWOec31UejhmThBWOtXw6apLmsMOgjhS0KmGs03NXUxkRuOSyAmnifsc4dNezKnJXsu0lrjQP14yyWBcKIe-Kzp-eQJf2bYFZgU3ljTx2MLQaw-LNjLk/s1600-h/SCAN0002.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil_70uyfjWbhgyJsmifQGygn1nWOec31UejhmThBWOtXw6apLmsMOgjhS0KmGs03NXUxkRuOSyAmnifsc4dNezKnJXsu0lrjQP14yyWBcKIe-Kzp-eQJf2bYFZgU3ljTx2MLQaw-LNjLk/s400/SCAN0002.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426353166766663426" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>For those of you who have not heard, Jason's father was diagnosed with IBC, (Inflammatory Breast Cancer) on Christmas Eve.

I was blessed to have him as a Bishop and feel even more blessed to have him as a father-in-law. My children adore him and look forward to every minute they get to spend with Grandpa Abbott.

Cade and Josh were Duke and Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe. Luke was batman, and Isabel was a little ladybug. We loved to sing to her "She's a lady whoa oh, oh, she's a lady" from the boys bugs play at school. She was soooo good she sat in her carrier so happy to walk around the neighborhood as the boys went trick-or-treating with cousins Gavin and Tyrone. Jason had to work all day but arrived home just in time to come out with us!

Since it was Labor Day weekend and Jason was working even more hours than usual, (which I did not think possible since he has been working 6 days a week, and there store is closed on Sundays) but he did, he had to work all day Thurs. - Sat. and Monday! I'm done complaining, so while he was working it was nice the kids had cousins to play with all day! They had so much fun. They swam, watched movies, played on the computer.... Mackenzie watched all the kids for us on Saturday afternoon and Julie and I took my mom to Kohl's! They were having great sales! We made it back in time for the BYU game, that Lance could not miss! It was a great game. We had to watch it again on Sunday so Jason could see it! It was a fun relaxing weekend.</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk67E2WVAjN757p6BY1_8yZ3JSA8OVRE6aACNbkmu6GZkDSczJ1g55gFM5zrmEmROVB98f3K2A6glydTgPfYkSyqalrDpAnU2z1jRnZXC3-lHI87wEzpidi-pFb1h3BHcRJ8tAvaePwAY/s320/IMG_0077.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379947991466173522" /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">Jason with Josh and Cade.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The boys also started school two weeks ago.

As you can see he has lots of them!<br /><br />Josh had a birthday last week that I neglected to post. He turned 6 years old on June 6th! He had a fabulous day. He had been very specific about what he wanted. He wanted his birthday decorations put up before he woke up. He wanted to open presents in the morning, and have a family party in the evening with his cousins. We had suggested taking him out to dinner before his party, he wanted to do that, but he chose to go to Chuck-e-Cheese, we were hoping for something a little less crowded but since it is his birthday we let him choose. So he pretty much got everything he wanted. Jon and Rachelle also took him to Boulder City with their family. They went on a train ride in the afternoon. That was nice since Jason had to work in the morning it made the day go by faster so he wasn't asking every five minutes when it was time for his party to start. He loved the train ride. <br />Josh had a swim party, which he loves, he is our little fish, but after an hour, he was the first one out to let me know that it was time for the pinata. He knew exactly what he wanted, he was in charge, and kept the party moving right along with cake and ice cream and opening his presents. Before the party I found him clearing off the table after breakfast, I asked him what he was doing and he said he wanted to make sure the house was clean for the party. I'm glad he was so helpful. Josh had a good day, I'm glad we were able to pull off all of the specifics of his special day. We love you Josh!susanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02021377824537282784noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851555146753929734.post-23290327240693448672009-06-12T15:03:00.000-07:002009-06-12T16:38:12.665-07:00Worst mom ever!!!A couple months ago when I was volunteering in Josh's classroom his teacher mentioned that she noticed Josh had been making excuses of getting out of doing his work, he wasn't trying very hard. Whenever it was time for writing he would often make the excuse of having to go to the bathroom or his tummy hurt to get out of doing his work. I talked to him about it and he said it was hard for him to see the words on the board that he was supposed to copy. I told him that he needed to move closer to the white board so he could see the words better. I didn't realize that he <span style="font-weight:bold;">literally </span>could <span style="font-weight:bold;">not see</span> the words. <br />Well, he goes on track break, he goes back to school everything is good he says "school is perfect," until the beginning of this week the school nurse calls, Josh is not feeling well, his tummy hurts. We decide over the phone that he is well enough to stay. When he came home from school he tells me that he threw up in his class, I thought it was odd that that the nurse never called me to come and get him. The next day the nurse calls and has Josh in her office again, he told the teacher that he had thrown up at home the night before. Well that wasn't true, but I picked up Josh from school. We talked about him lying to me and the teacher and why he is making excuses to get out of school. He then tells me that his head hurts, his eyes are blurry, and he keeps running into walls at school. I was hesitant to believe him because he had lied about being sick, but I knew by then that something was wrong so yesterday he sees the eye doctor and come to find out Josh has horrible vision. His vision is at an 8. Which for Jason and I who do not wear glasses had no idea what that meant, but it is really bad! I felt horrible, I continue to feel horrible. Besides glasses, we were referred to a pediatric opthamologist for eye therapy! It is just hard to believe that his vision has been so bad and we never picked up on it sooner. There were just never any signs prior to this that we can think of. I also start thinking of all the trips we have taken in the past 6 years of his life, Disneyland, the beach, yellowstone, Knott's Berry Farm, Legoland, did he not see any of it! I am still in shock. And he has to wait 10 days for his glasses to come in! I0 days is an eternity! Oh but wait he has just gone through a year of preschool and a year of kindergarten without being able to see a thing, what's another 10 days! I just can't believe we never had his eyes checked sooner. I am the worst mom ever!!

She has had a good first couple of weeks. I pretty much hold her all day and she sleeps much better when she is with me, so she sleeps with me too. Jason says she looks like an extra attachment on me. Although the boys have been a great help, Josh has fed her a bottle, Cade holds her when there is something that I need to do, they adore her and even on occasion I have heard them call her little princess. She is pretty spoiled already! Cade and Josh have been out of school these past three weeks, it has been nice having them home. Jason was able to take them to a father and sons camp out last Friday night with our ward. So the baby and I had a night to ourselves. It was a quiet evening. The boys had a great time with their dad, grandpa and cousins. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHLVkJe14lVShub4QzHgVCAvMntIM14EGA977AfHkIrFjdfsLstUr5rDT_iUazio-jJ77VvBEoWTdLK6XkpiUJ5rfL8ItmwqAT-k6W_iLWufQPRXSV49nSjPyanHnHoRjAL11Qds-t370/s1600-h/IMG_3026.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Now she is here! I went into the hospital on Monday night and she was born the next morning, Tuesday May 12th at 11:16am. The delivery went smoothly, except the epidural only working on my right side, so I guess i can say I had a half natural birth. She was delivered only about 30 minutes after getting the epidural so it wasn't that bad. I am definitely glad to be home and grateful to have her finally here. The boys adore her. The first morning she was home they came first thing in the morning to see if she is awake yet. It is definitely fun having a girl! <div><br /></div></div>susanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02021377824537282784noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851555146753929734.post-23831016680315579222009-04-29T16:52:00.000-07:002009-05-01T11:25:00.554-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPAZ95Z8gm4exUtuYrf5Djh1kmlSS6jnZkPrzc8tv-NO1V3IWse-fwILCeDVNOnEbEstPfAcYwxqK_hLAnMF8LoHHdHLQ7JlkAaHaEfx2AK_tJ-sBXBhvEE00GgKj0O7cdR6MgrAyBlUc/s1600-h/IMG_2960.JPG"><img style="float:left;

My mother-in-law called the morning that I was leaving and said that she would take care of it while we were away. It was so nice of her to do that for us. We had an enjoyable weekend in St.George it was our last getaway before Jason starts his new job and before the baby comes. <div>The boys had fun camping and I met them at the condo and they were able to clean themselves off in the pool. Yes swimming, it was a beautiful day. The next day we went up to Zion's and took the bus tour through the park and got out at various spots for hiking. It rained off and on, so the boys complained that there feet were cold, but they had to step in every puddle they came across. </div>susanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02021377824537282784noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851555146753929734.post-71989801466756681762009-04-09T21:55:00.000-07:002009-04-09T23:04:15.134-07:00Spring Break!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPBhJj8jbt0MZwgavKwSU4w4Bs8ZlNouWNYsW5Q39P9Kab2_BpthfizGzlk1_l596ULF3L4H4ZTUB1S2SOnZxBWO97T7tU7BuBVXDoOU7m1ajtnRNZ1t6VPQjOk5Tt5_M1iSNinuvq2Kw/s1600-h/IMG_2934.JPG"><img style="float:left;

But the boys wanted him sooo badly and he is a really good dog, I decided to bring him home. His name is Ron. We thought of changing it, but the boys were sure that we could not, so it is still Ron or as they call him Ron Ron or Ronny. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">Jason left this morning to Zion's to take the boys camping.

It was soo nice, lots of great desserts, a very cool diaper cake, and many friends. I am so grateful for those who had a hand in putting it together. I could not have asked for anything more. I received so many cute clothes, quilts , hair bows and two very sheik wipes containers. It is a blessing being surrounded by so many talented people that can create such fun things for little girls! Oh, and I also received new bedding, which I was totally surprised. I had picked it out and mentioned it to Rachelle, but to my surprise family and friends purchased it for us and I already have it in her room.

They have enjoyed being out of school. We have set up lots of play dates, went to kids club at the mall, park, visited grandmas, etc. I have even been making them help me rearrange furniture upstairs, since I can't move anything heavy right now, they have been good little helpers! We moved Cade into his own room! We'll see how that goes. The boys have all been sharing a room, but it is getting too crowded, so he is excited to get his own room and Josh is excited to get to sleep in the top bunk. Everybody's happy!<br />We also had a lot of fun last weekend, my sister Laura and her family came to stay with us. She has triplets, that are 5 years old. The kids had a blast playing together. We had our primary activity at 8:00 Saturday morning and Cade and Josh's basketball games, we went to Boulder City and had lunch, fed fish at Lake Mead and also took the kids to the park.Jason and Steve even found time to go cycling with the deacons from our ward. I taught Relief Society on Sunday so by the time Sunday afternoon came we were all pretty tired so it was nice to come home and relax on the couch, while watching an exciting Superbowl game!susanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02021377824537282784noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851555146753929734.post-40535055823087549122009-01-15T11:50:00.000-08:002009-01-15T12:29:19.610-08:00Luke's Big Milestones!Luke is officially becoming a "Big Boy!" There have been big changes for Luke these past few months. In November right before the holidays I decided to take Luke in for his first real big boy haircut. He went from his long curls to a short wavy do. A good friend Janie cut it in her salon, we thought he would do better there, but he cried most of the time. I had to have him sit on my lap, so by the end, we were both covered in hair. I guess it was needed, but i really miss <div>his long locks!<br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaeaK16HXongq_8IDOFbPjd-YEw-ElPHxDBw9K9Uxm_UIxQnPCTb78abopBUt2-Ql0sW0ptpiKRLpyr3_gI9ADQchswJW9uyyIKV-rk_i1m7e49vvYXMU-NO6nL_y7NWTyBtnUL8BTr8A/s320/IMG_2657.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291615086312319154" /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUbVDQDTeFD6grQf_XH72Yt2WykwTJn4pEml2C_CeuOKK8TNor8V0zmbB_oUIF7XBkOBcR_2lmMfF_oFtsdV5ugmZoyhZuBw8hIhuGSO7kRXOkmjsNzgGDqtmz0lUZne5xjxEzyWbtWg/s320/IMG_2682.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291615091520047874" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0); font-family: 'lucida grande'; font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0); font-family: 'lucida grande'; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0); font-family: 'lucida grande'; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 0); font-family: 'lucida grande'; font-weight: bold;"> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Before And After Pics!</span></div><div>We are also on our fourth day of potty training, Yeah!!!! It is so exciting! I tried pull ups a few weeks ago and he kept right on peeing in them, they have never worked for me, so straight to the underwear and not one accident during the night! He loves his big boy underwear and being able to go like his big brothers. Whenever he has a friend come over he asks if they want to see him go pee-pee in the toilet, they usually decline his request. Although the peeing has been going fabulous, he has yet to poop in the potty, hopefully soon! </div><div>He actually went pee in the potty a few months ago for the first time and it happened to be the day after his haircut. Jason attributes his haircut to him thinking he is a big boy. Although I don't think so, it was because his cousin Colt was over going potty so he wanted to go with him but once he left the interest was gone and I was too busy with the holidays to push the issue. I am just grateful he is going before the baby gets here!</div>susanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02021377824537282784noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851555146753929734.post-46922699326665599012009-01-12T16:49:00.001-08:002009-01-12T17:15:40.923-08:00Catching Up!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggHRVDalTjWGAtoF5VBdzd9_vwoj19gsgn3OViWE2SLlXfBY04eiiyUJ5z0lTdn5NEqtyiItI4cETRpkKUmOmNTsxn7-XB0VFcomcQ763HIc2aJ3cKOYQMKrgqV2jJRJ6MKv3NyP_mJV4/s1600-h/IMG_2595.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggHRVDalTjWGAtoF5VBdzd9_vwoj19gsgn3OViWE2SLlXfBY04eiiyUJ5z0lTdn5NEqtyiItI4cETRpkKUmOmNTsxn7-XB0VFcomcQ763HIc2aJ3cKOYQMKrgqV2jJRJ6MKv3NyP_mJV4/s320/IMG_2595.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290580293419131202" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4VAxaoM7dx-vsa1eCVG8MiUD7u8kVdQSNtGdqX9UL-2R3YK0UQpxDvlwsBid57HHXliRcxdo1PHnxhraz28jGu5l3v4yiLHK47M4sTpyQDD-O1d1gLEkTl3KVh4O1FeLVnGCaN8NuZfg/s1600-h/IMG_2597.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4VAxaoM7dx-vsa1eCVG8MiUD7u8kVdQSNtGdqX9UL-2R3YK0UQpxDvlwsBid57HHXliRcxdo1PHnxhraz28jGu5l3v4yiLHK47M4sTpyQDD-O1d1gLEkTl3KVh4O1FeLVnGCaN8NuZfg/s320/IMG_2597.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290580292346043826" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaBcO3o2u12J5toSt_vpkut-gS37Yn2DT-7NBqIyuLj5zJZ-v6X2rOBqJ-TUy6-x0_6fSg-cqvNMe3qogBnRzkdTWbza2kUsH-Z7IgLC5m90D9Y7Z9K4OIiStIIwIUK-xmyY9i6SFpEAk/s1600-h/IMG_2547.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaBcO3o2u12J5toSt_vpkut-gS37Yn2DT-7NBqIyuLj5zJZ-v6X2rOBqJ-TUy6-x0_6fSg-cqvNMe3qogBnRzkdTWbza2kUsH-Z7IgLC5m90D9Y7Z9K4OIiStIIwIUK-xmyY9i6SFpEAk/s320/IMG_2547.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290580284898476354" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPlXCtU2OuVxorXLzk2n0JrPi2cILp_ydk47gfn3htZtX5qV96UqQztnQO6qHHlUOh5zJBM3h9O_h3H4qKbNaKgjam67vk3DIFp7R1Rzj8GRKvP6Pikbik_LBWxUKAhhotKehuwT5Gvpc/s1600-h/IMG_2545.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPlXCtU2OuVxorXLzk2n0JrPi2cILp_ydk47gfn3htZtX5qV96UqQztnQO6qHHlUOh5zJBM3h9O_h3H4qKbNaKgjam67vk3DIFp7R1Rzj8GRKvP6Pikbik_LBWxUKAhhotKehuwT5Gvpc/s320/IMG_2545.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290580284489503842" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXN6l7BakUbqwxm5ptEV6u2IBriORwC7m6KF93b2wP1EAF7Z9BAfw9jcqRxOO99GuttOBy917cNKnU1W4PoqCyBuN4niwZNLPulmgn5Odmvfe6U3ec_F5f7eL0GscSsy5RZ9NZIoVaT3E/s1600-h/IMG_2544.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXN6l7BakUbqwxm5ptEV6u2IBriORwC7m6KF93b2wP1EAF7Z9BAfw9jcqRxOO99GuttOBy917cNKnU1W4PoqCyBuN4niwZNLPulmgn5Odmvfe6U3ec_F5f7eL0GscSsy5RZ9NZIoVaT3E/s320/IMG_2544.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290580273820603586" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>First Day of School</span></span><br />Okay so it has been a few months, and since sooooo much happens in the fall i need to go back to their first day of school at the end of August.<div> </div><div>Cade and Josh were both so excited.

And Cade had told Josh everything he needed to know about kindergarten. It was also his cousin's Waylan's first day of kindergarten so he was happy about that too. The first day went great it, was the first few days after Josh asked, " I have to go again?" I guess he thought it was a one day deal or something. After a few weeks of adjusting to all day kindergarten, he is doing great!</div><div>Cade was also hesitant after a few days because many of his friends from kindergarten were in a different track from him. We switched from being on track 5 to track 2! But, now he has made new friends and is doing great!</div><div>Luke also began preschool! It is one a few moms started. The kids rotate once a week to the different houses for a couple of hours of learning and fun.

On Thursday, she came to our house. During the day we swam and the boys and Katie helped me make cookies. In the evening we took her to our friends the Williams for a barbeque and more swimming! It was a fun day the boys love playing with their cousin Katie. We're glad she has been able to spend time with us this summer. We ended our night eating popcorn and watching the Olympics!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-OL2Z69UauQXDAzMFwPsfTSZdJetD7bVNvMaru9dY4YIyuMOVcfjzVTHAKKV6X83JW6OLNirTWyK4jUJNx9U3mIHboOGFXRxPa7ZGGmIbodqB86VNBqEDPsCSVeLCeugN8S5sbjgczGA/s1600-h/IMG_2532.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-OL2Z69UauQXDAzMFwPsfTSZdJetD7bVNvMaru9dY4YIyuMOVcfjzVTHAKKV6X83JW6OLNirTWyK4jUJNx9U3mIHboOGFXRxPa7ZGGmIbodqB86VNBqEDPsCSVeLCeugN8S5sbjgczGA/s200/IMG_2532.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237827603370338578" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhrvJQUSnCt3NrfVdmyDKopMBp2OK5z66eH_BxLJ8-lw3WetiFMsYtGQz2tvbJc7Bx9rgBB9HFBpQ32_nzejZ543msUD3glSVJ2WDxEI60ckQ046EsHXmonN8uYLa-hsELPJw4WvTTvtE/s1600-h/IMG_2536.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhrvJQUSnCt3NrfVdmyDKopMBp2OK5z66eH_BxLJ8-lw3WetiFMsYtGQz2tvbJc7Bx9rgBB9HFBpQ32_nzejZ543msUD3glSVJ2WDxEI60ckQ046EsHXmonN8uYLa-hsELPJw4WvTTvtE/s200/IMG_2536.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237827280161909842" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKUq6R5Ig5qd9Uuwyv-uHk95fgZrpR4h8XUolV1DYkK6LP3qWp8HYSpbb6P0gi1FLysNXSCLYngmHp7-vWoy6OfFt28OkK83UmjLVyj6L_IgaxdA0279xmdOvZ6-J0T_IeK8PzT2uHyB0/s1600-h/IMG_2535.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKUq6R5Ig5qd9Uuwyv-uHk95fgZrpR4h8XUolV1DYkK6LP3qWp8HYSpbb6P0gi1FLysNXSCLYngmHp7-vWoy6OfFt28OkK83UmjLVyj6L_IgaxdA0279xmdOvZ6-J0T_IeK8PzT2uHyB0/s200/IMG_2535.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237827062728948226" /></a>Thanks to the Williams for letting us swim in their amazing pool.

We drove Friday morning about 6:30am and followed the Iverson's. We stopped and ate at a great pizza place in Cedar City. We bought groceries, I had to run to Payless, and pick up shoes for Luke, since I put him in the car with no shoes on and didn't notice until we were almost to Utah. Then we headed up the mountain to Cedar Breaks. This is our third trip with Shawn and Kim, we appreciate them always inviting us. We had a great time. Brady and Brandi met us up there on Saturday afternoon. Between all of us we had 9 kids with us! Bed time was fun, we put half of them on the air mattress and the other half on a futon. They loved it! There cabin is located in a beautiful Valley. We took walks to the creek, 4 wheeled, fished, and had a lot of yummy food. We stayed up late playing games after the kids went to sleep. It was fun getting together with good friends!<br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPi7-DA5JIQqRkIxaJZTGv5fWMgU7uRPsGYvRjBImoRfvWrEaRQ7C1BK0K2npQvo8O9BSDzf3xyEmzHSv1vKZD5gYaXGc4bp05ZqEjjua3ko7nZZb42bAjtbA-cC7oMEa1Cnt14qfYDDM/s320/IMG_0014.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236351523800121698" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKiNFbfq9ysDPPk4S1RV3bH3jubkColxI3__w4Gy4YWQR16sef-eJ27jARXKYlXi_Ucaj9lvCPU9q9Z83rs6ebi8C7SdK6UgUyM6TtXXhd8XXnUcwLvvFxatyZM8r0ziqbggq8GxdHAFQ/s1600-h/IMG_0004.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKiNFbfq9ysDPPk4S1RV3bH3jubkColxI3__w4Gy4YWQR16sef-eJ27jARXKYlXi_Ucaj9lvCPU9q9Z83rs6ebi8C7SdK6UgUyM6TtXXhd8XXnUcwLvvFxatyZM8r0ziqbggq8GxdHAFQ/s320/IMG_0004.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236347382110047330" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Me and Kim!

It was relaxing, tropical, and so much fun. It was a Toyota Trip, which means all expenses are paid for! All we had to worry about was getting to the airport on time. And thanks to my mother- in -law we are able to leave the kids with no worries. Many people asked us if this is the first time we have left our kids, but because of these trips Toyota sends us on we have had the opportunity to take a few trips by ourselves in the past few years. We feel very fortunate! The trips are always amazing. Cancun was no exception, we snorkeled, saw amazing exotic animals, went to a theme park , dancing, and lots of great food. We're still trying to work off all the food we ate while we were there. <div> </div><div>We also had a very busy July. The month started out with a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Wood. They came here from Utah and the boys were so happy to see them. </div><div>The 4th of July started out with a ward breakfast and water fight in the church parking lot. The kids had their squirt guns. There were water balloons and they even got out the firehose. So fun! When Jason came home from work we swam and barbequed, Jason's family came over and we shot off fire works in our front yard with our neighbors. </div><div>July 16th, Cade had his Kindergarten graduation. It was so neat, they sang danced a little, there was a slide show and of course the handing out the diplomas. I did get a little teary eyed watching him and just thinking of how time is going to pass so quickly. </div><div>We also had visits from my parents who stayed for almost a week and my aunt and two cousins stayed with us for a few days also. It has been a busy month, but lots of fun!</div><div> </div>susanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02021377824537282784noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851555146753929734.post-26092674349121640312008-06-19T21:31:00.000-07:002008-06-20T07:38:01.004-07:00June 6, 2008Josh turns 5!<div><br />Josh was born on June 6, 2003. We had just moved into our new home in North Las Vegas when little Joshua Cruz arrived. I was scheduled to be induced and highly anticipating his arrival when the hospital called to tell us they were full and that they would have to reschedule us the following day. The next day they called again and were still full. My mom came into town and stayed with Cade while Jason took me to the hospital, once we were finally admitted. </div><div>Josh was a great baby. He actually slept a few hours at night and started sleeping through the night at about 4 months old. Which was a big contrast to his older brother, who only slept in 2 hour increments until he was over 1 years old! </div><div>Josh is our little comedian and loves his two brothers. He is always finding ways to make us laugh. We don't know what we would do without him! Although Jason was a little shocked when I told him that I was pregnant with Josh, he actually had to sit down, I thought he was going to hyperventilate. Cade was only 9 months old, and we were in a one bedroom apartment. I guess he forgot how we got Cade! After the initial shock Jason was as excited as I was. </div><div> </div><div>Josh's first haircut he giggled the whole time. Grandma Echols gave him his first haircut, she could not believe how good he was!<img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjMfbrIYung1Q2vTzK8QiEWnGlxH8TQOyA4T_6Zjmyw_yo9qMKXS-HVqzTQgc3_glcaL415dvQbvj4DxqttUfdjTAtrU4ZWPp68ZNP-iZUd5CHGaeUSy58INs0mt7igQRbCbDe_0mSQ68/s320/hp_scanDS_8620717398" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213956326110929234" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIneqzrHMQ6FVMC8kxXCw98WmjnKekfd2TV1vk0TEZuCJroZ3pMI7lyITs1so-jUIWokUNmQS-Y2leq4fOWbXJtrnaAz26WU8PpxiavZS4aoDgrFKlys46g95pSNIC4wan1kT9GqlIsUQ/s1600-h/hp_scanDS_862071337"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Grandpa Echols holding Josh and Selena!<br /></span><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIneqzrHMQ6FVMC8kxXCw98WmjnKekfd2TV1vk0TEZuCJroZ3pMI7lyITs1so-jUIWokUNmQS-Y2leq4fOWbXJtrnaAz26WU8PpxiavZS4aoDgrFKlys46g95pSNIC4wan1kT9GqlIsUQ/s320/hp_scanDS_862071337" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213956321427859714" /></a><br />Josh's 5th birthday party! He actually had two parties. An afternoon party with his friends,and an evening party with family. It was a busy day. Both were pool parties, pizza was served in the afternoon and hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner, all of Josh's favorite foods.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqt2PdCE7zMqefsnqNtIyi4WovoKEtKVUKxA8PjL1JJS5KkSZN9GLw6QVhqxpKw2f3pGMdtewQHOV8PbM0E4OR8lDRyiTmUKK0sFzlbXZBMdc2EjaHh_L2t9kJgJro2MVDojHSUh1jLz0/s1600-h/IMG_2388.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqt2PdCE7zMqefsnqNtIyi4WovoKEtKVUKxA8PjL1JJS5KkSZN9GLw6QVhqxpKw2f3pGMdtewQHOV8PbM0E4OR8lDRyiTmUKK0sFzlbXZBMdc2EjaHh_L2t9kJgJro2MVDojHSUh1jLz0/s320/IMG_2388.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213848564333832834" /></a>It was a dinosaur theme.
