We got Snow!!!!!

We woke up this morning and saw 2 inches of snow on the ground. so we just had to go out and play in it. we could only go out for a little while, cause it was cold and jessi and justin were sick. but we had a lot of fun.

Just us
he kept thinking his boots were dirty

Justin's little tiny snowman and the snow he kept eating.

he had to swing and slide down his slide.

litterlly he kept eating the snow and saying "YUM SNOW".

BSU Basketball Game

Yesterday Some friends called us up and invited us to go watch a BSU b-ball game for FREE. it was a close game but a lot of fun. the kids had a lot fun too, so here are some pics.

We finally got a christmas tree. Ok, ok, its a fake one, but we have been trying to get a fake one for quite some time. we're not home enough during the holidays to enjoy the real one and we're always afraid that it will cantch on fire from some random spark blaze the tree and burn down the house.(ok that was a little graphic, but its true.) so impart we decided to go with the fake and well we found a good one. we really like it. the really good thing is we won't have to worry about all th needles. the bad is we miss the good smell a real on brings into the home. Justin had a lot of fun decorating the tree and then we put lights up in his room, which he loves. we put lights up on the roof friday, and found that after we put them up, half were dead, and we ran short. so we fixed the dead on, except for a tiny section. Then left the section bare where we ran short (lack of funds) so our house looks a little redneck, but not too redneck. we'll have to take a picture and put it up on the blog.

Friday night we we're watching the news and founds out that the zoo was having a free admission day on saturday. so we jumped all over that. they had just added some giraffes and lions to the zoo, so it mad it a lot more fun. Justin has been fascinated by both for some time now and really liked watching them. this was probably the best experiance to the zoo we have had here.

Jessi's Pregnant

Well we just wanted to let everyone know that we are expecting. We've known for some time now, but she is about 12 weeks along. We went in on thursday to have an ulrasound, and everything is going great. the baby is very active, tossing and spinning like mad.(its awsome) we'll find out what it is January 15th and the due date is May 30th. we are very excited for justin to have a little brother or sister. when we asked him if he wanted one, he replyed "no thanks", but lately we think he is warming up to the idea of having a playmate.

Cowboy Up

For this holloween, justin was a cowboy if you havn't allready guessed. at first he didn't really want to be one cause we got this horse for him to ware, but he was so scared of putting a horse on that that got knocked out real fast. so he was content with just being a cowboy.

Hey ya little lady!

Draw!!!!(he's holding a pistol)

see i'm a nice cowboy

I love this devilish grin

this is his serious pose

Decorateing pumpkin and making candy

Monday Justin got to decorate his own pumpkin this year. he is not big enough to use a knife yet but he wanted to do it on his own, so he used marker and stickers to decorate it. it actually turned out kinda cute. then after words mama, daddy, and justin made assorted shapes of chocolate candy. this was also the night that justin was up all night upchuckin from a stomach bug. not a good start to the week, but it turned out good after all.

Coloring with markers.

First Stitches

So we had an eventful last night. Justin and daddy were giving Jewels a bath and well when we finished justin slipped on some water and SLAMMED his chin down on the side of the tub and well this is what happened........




Its an inch long and all the way to the bone. he cried pretty hard at first, then it stopped bleeding for a minute and well by the time we got to the hospital, you couldn't even tell he was hurt. they stitched one running stitch, looped 7 times. he cried during the stitching and was asking for us to take a picture, his gold fish and a tissue for his nose. it took mommy and daddy, 2 male nurses to hold him down while the NP was stitching. overall he did pretty good.

we had to get a picture of the pink band for blackmail reasons. it was awsome.(it was holding on the numbing cream.)

he was running around the entire time like someone put a quarter in him.

the result

Misc. pics.

So the other day I was trying to find out what Justin wanted to eat for lunch, and I was going through the list: Chicken, Taquitos, pizza... and he must of got tired of me asking because this is what he did. I have know idea where he learned this, he just started doing it one day.


We thought about dressing up our dog Jewels as a chicken for Halloween. But we ended up taking the costume back for fear of how she would act with the trick-or-treaters. We had to take some pictures of it because she looked hillarious. Justin couldn't stop laughing at her.

Misc. Pics.

This last weekend, we went to the park to just let Justin and our dog Jewels get out and play. But when we got there, some sort of kid activity thing sponsored by the nampa rec. center was going on. So we ended up leaving the dog in the car. Anyways, they had face painting, balloons, books, and differnt activities out for all the kids to do for free. But the coolest part was, we got to pet this camel. Its not everyday you get to pet a camel. Suprisingly it was very soft. It even tried licking Justin, but missed.


This is what we find Justin doing a lot of the time with his cars, books, and anything else he can get his hands on. He takes after his mama and is quite organized and lines everything up. He also make everything face the same direction.
What a cheese....
I really like this pic. isn't he cute.
