9 Years Today


Jason and I are celebrating our 9 year anniversay today. I can not believe it has been that long. I would have never guessed we would have 3 kids and be living in Kalispell Montana. Things have sure changed. I am grateful for all the work Jason does to keep me at home with the kids. Jason and I were married in the Portland Oregan Temple. It is such a beautiful temple. I am grateful for the opportunity that Jason and I had to be sealed for time and all eternity. I love that man so much. I also love all the things he does to make me feel special and truly loved. He is my best friend. Thanks Babe for all you do for our family.

Grandpa enlisted in the U.S. Navy after high school. He was stationed on an aircraft carrier, the Kearsarge. He fought for our freedom in the Korean War. While serving 2 movies where filmed on his ship and he loved to point out where in the movie you could see him.


Grandpa loved the Broncos, antiques, fishing and most of all the kids. He started going to Bronco games in 1968. He has been a season ticket holder for 40 years. He also enjoyed going to Colorado University games. He converted many "non-believers" into Bronco fans. In 1978 he went to the 1st Bronco Superbowl in New Orleans. He got to go to his last game on September 20th of this year. We love you Grandpa and will miss you till the day we will all be united again. Thanks for all the memories!!!!!

Super Nanny

I have to say I believe Super Nanny knows what she is talking about. On Saturday, Logan learned to climb out of his crib. He fell twice, but learned what to do too not fall. I had laid him down for his nap and here he comes out of his room. For the next two hours Jason and I shared the task of putting him back in his crib each time he got out. I learned the Stay in bed technique from her book my mom gave me a few years ago. It is the best thing. So on with my story. Logan took 2 hours to finally give up and fall asleep. He was crying and not happy we kept putting back but he did give up. So Saturday night I was happy I had an extra hour of sleep since I could be up a while with him. Jason had to work so I was on my own. It took Logan about a half hour to fall asleep with much less crying. I was so happy. Tonight I put him to bed and was preparing myself to me up for a while. I put him to bed and he got out once. I put him back and did not hear a sound from the room. I poked my head in his room and low and behold he is asleep. I am so excited. My little baby is growing up way too fast for me.
