P.S. I know that JaiBee isn't anywhere in these pictures...but I promise she was there! She was just busy chasing down Beejae's yellow lab, Hutch! 

What do you think?!

Most everyone that sees Jett instantly says, "OH! He looks just like his Dad!" Well...

I'd like to beg to differ!!!

What do you think? Do I get any credit for this sweet little boy!?

A quick glance at our busy lives...

     

4 MONTHS OLD

     Our little family has had a lot going on these days. I have been meaning to get on here and put up a post, but there is always something that gets the slot of time set aside to do it. Even now, Jared is holding a crying, teething baby who had his 4-month shots today while trying to soothe him as he catches a few glimpes of the Utah Jazz/Golden State Warriors basketball game. . . 

     Jared has a lot on his plate. He recently quit his job at Forever Green and accepted an offer from my Dad and Uncles at Snake River Sprinklers to take over their spraying division (Snake River Spraying). It is a great opportunity, although he had a big decision trading his old comfort job with a great friend, Chad Heider, for this one. It will be a lot of work getting everything organized to run the way he wants and a lot of new customers to meet, but I know he is going to do great! He also has been helping get ready for the Home and Garden Center at the CSI Expo Center this weekend. He may be a little stressed when you see him, but he has a lot of support from family and friends. Jared tries to play a little basketball here and there, whether it is with the church ball team or some pick up ball in Filer. 

     I have been pretty busy myself and it is only going to get more hectic. I am still doing hair and enjoy it more everyday. I really appreciate my clients and for all the trust that they have in me. I really look forward to seeing each of them and enjoy all of our conversations. It keeps me sane. I also applied for and received the Head JV softball coaching position at Canyon Ridge High School...that is where my life will get busy. I have also been trying to help Jared with his bookwork. Most importantly, I have been busy being a mom. It truly is the best feeling ever. We are eternally blessed for such a sweet spirit in our home. I also am on a city league basketball team, although I cut my finger in Arizona a few weeks ago and had to wait for my stitches to come out. But now, I can play! 

    Jett! He turned four months old today. He is smiling, giggling, and cooing more and more everyday. I took him to his 4-month check-up today and he weighed 15 lbs 3 oz and was 25 inches long. He recently, on Valentine's Day, spent the night at Grandpa and Grandy's (my parents') house. It was nice to have the night with Jared and to sleep without a peep! I'm sure my parents enjoyed it more than we did, but thank you Mom and Dad! Jett is our little pride and joy though! What would we do without that cute little boy?! 

     We can't forget about our little JaiBee! She sure has been good with Jett. She has gotten a lot more independent since Jett was born also. Jared and I were watching The Lady and The Tramp the other day and it made me sympathize with her. It made me throw her toy a little bit more, although she hasn't gotten a walk in awhile with this crazy weather. 

     There is a short little note for whoever may check this or the person who nags me that it's been two months in my chatbox! :) Well, if you haven't been getting much attention from us...now you know why! 

Never Grow Up

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
At 14 there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember that she's getting older too
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
No one's ever burned you, nothing's ever left you scarred
And even though you want to, just try to never grow up

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder that I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on

Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up

Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
I could still be little
Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
Won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And even though you want to, please try to never grow up
Oh, don't you ever grow up
Oh, never grow up, just never grow up

More Grandparents for the Spoiling...

We took Jett to Buhl to see my grandparents. They were so excited to see him. My grandma had tried to stop by that morning and I wasn't home. We had planned on going over and surprising them later. Hopefully she wasn't too disappointed to wait a little bit longer. They loved him! Jett just keep smiling when Grandma was holding him and he was just happy and content snuggling with Grandpa. We sure do love them and are so happy that they finally got to meet sweet little Jett! 

Happy Birthday JaiBee!

JaiBee's birthday is October 25, 2009 and so we decided to celebrate. JaiBee has felt a little left out since we have brought baby Jett home. I made some cupcakes for her and we gave her one. I know... I know... she is a dog, but she loved it and it didn't even make her sick! 

We bought her a coat for her to wear, because her old one was little small and miserable to wear. 

Once we got it one...she loved it! 

Happy 1st Birthday JaiBee! We sure do love our little puppy dog!
