Makin Rainbows

Ryan called me outside the other day to tell me she was making a rainbow. I was a little confused. I did not know if she had been in the paint or sidewalk chalk, or what she was doing. She grabbed the hose and had the spray nozzle set on mist. She squeezed the handle and said "Look! A rainbow!" It took me a minute, but when I got down on her level and looked where she was pointing I could see her rainbow. We spent the next 15 minutes making rainbows. I am so grateful for my sweet three year old who reminds me to slow down and look a little harder for the rainbows.

Ryan's Halloween Extravaganza

I love Halloween. Growing up it was almost a religious holiday for me. I spent so much time planning what I would be and then after parading in my costume at school all day, I would come home and want to be something completely different. I never knew why my mother put up with me. Now that I have kids of my own, I understand.

Ryan had four opportunities to dress up this year,

1. Trunk or treat at the church

Princess Ryan riding a pony (no pony in this pic, it got in the way of playing)

2.Halloween party at school

Ryan the Purple Dragon

3.Town of Tyrone business trick or treat

Ryan the Fluffy Fairy Princess

4. Halloween Night

Ryan the Pirate

A little work and a lot of fun!

Jannica and Cameron were a little less high maintenance (thank heaven!)

3 months!

Cameron is 3 months now and so dang cute. Kelly blessed him November first. It was so good to have Kelly's parents here for that special day. They were so happy to leave I am sure, the girls can be a little exuberant sometimes.

Cameron is a little talker, I sometimes think Heavenly Father is up there thinking he is sooooo funny for giving me chatterboxes. I started the dishwasher tonight because it is so quiet, my ears were ringing.

I am so excited to watch this little one grow and to enjoy the sweet moments along with the pull my hair out moments.

(I just noticed that I am blogging under Kelly's name, so those of you wondering how he could have pull you hair out moments, this is Jaimee)

Dove

Hey Ryan, what does your mom look like?

Ryan: "Ummm, let me draw you a picture."

A barrel on sticks? Your mom looks like a barrel on sticks?"

Ryan: "Yup. And her nose is HUGE."

The ultimate poster girl for Dove, thats me!

Peaking early

Cameron is turning into a little trouble maker. He had surgery following a couple of weeks of horrible sleeping due to belly aches and then, not 2 weeks later, the kid gets RSV. I love the kid, but Kelly and I always knew boys were trouble. I am hoping that he is getting all of his "keeping mom busy-ness" out of the way early. I am totally right in thinking this is possible, right? RIGHT!?

At least he is a cute little chunk. He always has a smile for us and really loves his sisters. He talks and talks to me and I am sure what he is saying is important. He will usually sit in his swing for an hour or so at a time. I am so in love with this sweet boy!

Why Christmas

I am having a hard time keeping up with the seasons for the blog wallpaper, so I decided to skip ahead. Merry Halloween!

Jaimee the Hut

This is a picture of me. At least the me that I see in the mirror. You see, I got home from bargain shopping to find that the clothes that I figured were PLENTY big for a gal my size, are

TOO SMALL!

Baby fat GO AWAY.

I don't think yelling at it will work, so next time you see me, ask me how my diet and workout regimen is working out. This may guilt me into exercising some self control and working out.

In turn I promise that, when I look like her, I will not dress up like Princess Leah for Halloween!
