Oh the Things they Say!

Warning! The statements I am about to share came out of a 3 year olds mouth....

Tayson is going through that "phase" that all seasoned mothers are familiar with. You know the one where he asks questions, makes statements and his little world revolves around his... well... you know ;) Here are a few comments he has made over the last few months that will leave you rolling.... Oh and FYI when he potties he perches himself on the toilet seat like a bird! Why? I don't know!

Alli had brought him to the potty and turned around to give him privacy while he piddled and he stated, "Alli, you see this? I have a ball under my weiner!"

I had walked downstairs and he was standing at the edge of the couch with his legs crossed. I asked him if he needed to potty. Taylor shook his head "no" and snickered, "he racked himself while climbing off the couch". I asked Tayson if he was okay and he stated, "My weiner needs a blanky!"

Here is the kicker...
Tayson has figured out how to unlock locked doors in our home, so needless to say... NO PRIVACY! especially when I am taking a shower. He thinks he needs to come in and bring me toys everytime he hears the shower running. Well anyways, one morning he busted in when I was drying myself off, got a surprised look on his face, and asked, "Mom, did your weiner fall off?"

Oh the joys!

New Family Pix

Christmas 2009

This is a pix of my kids and my nephews from left to right: Kameron (13), Tayson (3), Braydin (8), Xanth (2), Xander (4), Alli (8), and Kegan (2).

Tayson Christmas morning. He recieved a 4-wheelier PowerWheels, toys, toys, toys and 4 Nerf guns. I wonder if Santa meant to put Taylor's name on some of the tags????

Kameron is always such a good sport. Taylor always teases him and lets him think he is only getting 2 presents. A few of the things he recieved were an Air Soft Gun and his own XBOX 360.

Alli always has such a beautiful smile on her face. Some of the things she recieved was a PSP, some more littlest pet shops, clothes and new bedding.

Christmas Morning!

Leaves are Falling...

Hi everyone! I took these pix the other day of the kids playing in the leaves, they are so cute. (I even got a smile out of Tay!) This time of the year we all reflect on our blessing and I just wanted to take a minute to stop and ponder my blessings. Things have been so crazy with moving and school. I also started working at the Instacare and spent last weekend in the hospital while they ran tests. I found out that I need my gallbladder out but I opted to try and wait a few more weeks til I am done with school. My children have been so awesome and supportive with their mother's insane schedule. They always have their chores done and a hug and smile for me. They have adjusted to school the best really well. We have been reading the Harry Potter series every night just to relax and regroup. I am blessed that my children have a love of reading. I also have to recognize my husband and all that he does, he takes care of me like I could have never imagined. He cleans, cooks, plays with the kids and gives me the best back rubs. This last week I had to give an oral report to my class about MS. It was a very touching topic to research and present. My sister and grandmother came and spoke. It made me realize how much I love my family and am so very grateful for them. Tay and I have also put in Kinship papers to have my brothers boys. They are 1 and 3 and are in a hard situation. We pray for them everyday and hope that wherever they end up that they are happy and healthy. I am also so grateful for my friends. I have been fortunate to have the most wonderful friends that I know I could call or stop by for anything. I was so happy to be able to get in contact my one of my best friends that I haven't talked to for years. We grew up together and have shared so many emotions with each other. Unfortunately we had lost touch but in emailing her this last week we found out that we are both in the same field. Anyway I am rambling on and noticing that my grammer is getting bad so I better stop babbling but I am really, truely, grateful for all of you and am excited for this Holiday Season! See you soon, Jamie

Finally Settling!

Here are some pix of our new house! It has been so much work moving, going to school and I started a new job at the Instacare! Don't mind the mess in the pix, these were taken before we had everything organized. Tay is going to start painting here in the next month so eventually the walls will look different. We would love anyone to come and visit, we miss our friends in Logan. Thanks to everyone that helped us move. Keep in touch!

Invites

As most of you already know I do invites for birthdays, weddings, showers, ect. Here is some of the cards I have done lately...

Survey Says...

Hi everyone!
I am doing a survey for our class project and would like to know if you wouldn't mind taking just a few seconds to answer some questions regarding Diabetes. I don't expect those that haven't had a text book shoved in their face for the last 9 months to be able to answer some of these questions, but if you could, answer what you can.

1. Name a complication from Diabetes.
2. Name a type of insulin.
3. Name a risk factor that can lead to Diabetes.
4. Name a sign or symptom of Diabetes.
5. Name a type of Diabetes.
6. Name an oral medication used to manage Diabetes.
7. Name a diagnostic test associated with Diabetes.
8. Name an injection site.
9. Name a kind of education used in Diabetes Management.
10. Name a type of Clinician that treats Diabetes.
11. In doing an assessment on a Diabetic, what is an area you would want to focus on?

Thanks,

3 Joys... My Family, Nursing, and Friends


3 Fears... Dead Animal Heads (don't ask!), Heights, Spiders


3 Goals... to get my Masters Degree, to be Productive, to be a Fabulous Wife & Mother.


3 Obsessions... Cleanliness, Cleanliness, Cleanliness (Tay helped me out with this one! He also states that the list is far too long to put on our blog) I tend to be slightly OCD! I love to organize, watch Project Runway and Top Chef, and have to have 9-10 hours of sleep at night to even function.


3 Random Facts... I love Dill Pickles, especially the giant ones that are packaged in singles with tonz of juice. I could eat the hole thing and drink the juice, no wonder my kidneys are full of stones. I have an RC drift car that I like to drive. My husband thinks my high school pix makes me look like I'm in a biker gang.
