Jason finally drew out for the Southern Deer hunt this year. My brother talked us into trading our tag for the black powder hunt. We all stayed at my parents cabin while Bob and Jason went hunting together. Sunday morning Jason came in the cabin to tell us about the deer he shot. We all hurried to get ready so we could go see it. Jaycee and Jaydon

Jaycee packed this heart with her bare hands down the mountain and took it for show and tell the next morning. haha

All of us minus Ethan. My Mom and Dad kept him at the cabin because he is a heavy baby to hike around with.

The two deer. The same

Back to School

So cute!

My Jacob Black

Mom's little buddy

It is VERY quiet in my house this morning. I got up at 5 am, went to the gym to work out. Came home showered and got Jake up and to school by 7:40 and then the other two kids by 9:00. Ethan is already on his first nap right now. I don't even know what to do with myself but a nap sounds nice or maybe a little organizing of the junk drawers???


Jake is at his first day in 6th grade at Tonaquint Intermediate School. This was really weird for me to drop him off and not have to walk him in and get a picture with his teacher. I know that Jake will do great in school. This change will be really good for him but I am not ready for him to grow up that fast. I cannot WAIT to pick him up at 2pm, take him for ice cream and hear ALL ABOUT IT.


Jaycee and Kaleb are both pretty excited for school. Kaleb was much more nervous this morning when we got to school than he or I expected. He has been the one who has been the most excited for school. He gets pretty shy around people he doesn't know but he makes friends really easily. Jaycee is just a beautiful little princess. I am sure the boys are all happy to have her in their class. haha Jaycee is a great student. Jaycee has a bunch of boys in her class from her last years class that already


So.... I guess it is just me and Ethan now. I am not sure how Ethan will cope without his brothers and sister at his beck and call. I hope he adjusts well. I know it will be fun to have him all to myself sometimes. Ethan is getting so big though. He is really hard to hold for very long because he pulls hair and kills my back. He isn't crawling yet but he has 4 teeth. I have a cute picture of them on my phone that I will have to post mobile.

Batman

The kids have all been playing Batman together.  Jake has been dreaming up an idea to make his own costume for Halloween this year.  He has done such a great job so far.  He has a lot more things to add but I am so impressed so far.  He is very determined and I like that!!  Kaleb plays Batman, Jake is Scarecrow and Jaycee is Poison Ivy. Kaleb already has his costume and Jaycee is also going to build her costume. It is fun to see the three of them play together.

The kids have also been building a 'batmobile' out of boxes today.  It has been so great to see them all be creative and not watching TV or playing video games all summer!

Woops forgot to post these..

Ethan, again....

I am starting to feel guilty because I just looked through my phone pics and they are all of Ethan!!  The kids are guilty of taking his picture too.  We just love him too much!!  He just got his first tooth and he is starting to sit up.  He just started babbling ba ba ba ba and da da da and when he cries he says Mmmmummm.  Hahahahahaha loving him.

Ethan 6 months

I am still SO IN LOVE with this boy!!  He is the greatest blessing to our family!!  I just had to post a few pics of my cutie.  He is the sweetest baby on the planet and he is loved and enjoyed by all of us!!  I look at his baby pictures and I can't believe how much he has changed.  He is rolling around and is 21 pounds and 28 inches .  He is 97 percent in height and weight.  BIG boy just like Kaleb was.  

I lost all my pictures I took at our family reunion and 4th of JUly!!  I'm so bummed!!  I had a lot of really cute pictures of the kids.

I can't believe school is going to start next month!  I'm not ready for it to start yet!  I'm NOT ready to buy school stuff!  

Jaycee is doing great!!  She is getting all back to normal but she sleep walks now.  She has to get up so much to go to the bathroom after her surgery that she gets up to go without waking up.  It is so funny!!  She will come in my room and walk in circles till I lead her to the bathroom.  Anyway, all is good so far.
