So Much to Tell



Oh My!!!!! Let me tell its been one of those months. Its crazy here. This is going to be a bunch a rambles BUT I have to start from the begining.
I really wanted May to be a good month. I was hoping the weather was going to warm up and Jack and I could go for walks and just be outside. As weird as it sounds for a baby,Jack loves grass. So much for not having to worry about a blanket. He sits, crawls and eats the grass. Its pretty funny. Anyway,to start off. My glasses broke. jack has this things where he isnt a fan of things on the face. He is always pulling them off and eventually my glasses didnt fit anymore and one of the lenses was popping out. I need a new exam anyway but I was really trying to wait. Stuff costs!! So I made my apt and about $200 later I got my new glasses. Little did I know Shopko,(thats where i went) could have just redone my frames for free. But now at least I have two pairs. Lesson learned.
So now we are reaching Mothers Day weekend and my moms birthday. We spent that Sunday with my fam and had a good time. Jack did seem a bit fussy but I thought it was just cause he didnt get a good nap. That evening we got home and I took his temp. 101' ok maybe he is getting something. He went to bed fine I figured we would see how the night went. At 1:30am we wakes up screaming. Poor guy. I felt so bad for him. Jason and I were both up til almost five. Seeing how I hadnt had any sleep i called into work and stayed home with my boys. Jack seemed ok and he fever had broke. So I got him some breakfast about six hoping he might go back to sleep. Pretty soon the screaming and crying started again. I just didnt know what to do. The fever was back and now he wouldnt eat or drink anything..... Ok so having Jack first I really lucked out. He really is a great baby. He sleeps through the night. takes good naps. Loves food and his bottle. takes a binky like candy. I dont know how i got so lucky with my first. So my worries started when he wouldnt even take his bottle. I called my doctor and explained our night. We got right in. We take him to the Pediatric Center it about a mile from our house. Dr. Anderson has been his doctor since week one and I just love him. He is so good. So Jack had some fluid in both ears. So back on a med for ten days. But the sad part was that he had a virial infection in the back of is mouth. It was like have a ton of cranker sores back there. That explained why he wouldnt drink. We went back home with some Pedialite and his medicine. That evening things got worse. Jack was throwing up everywhere. it was awful. I called my dad and he and Jason gave jack a blessing. I felt better but our next right was pretty much a repeat.This time jack and I just slept on the couch. jack would just lay there and stare at me. I felt so bad for him. I just cried and said my prayers that he would get better. I stayed home from work again on tuesday and jack did seemed. That night he slept all night. Jason stayed home on Wednesday just to give him another day of rest.
I may sound lame but Jack is just such a happy baby. I really do feel that this may have been my true welcoming into Motherhood. This was really one of the worst two days we have had since he was born. Werid Im sure.
Among other things, our house was put for sale, and we found out we are expecting Baby#2.Talk about over load in one week. The pressure was really on and things just werent feeling right. So one week later we took the house off the market. Im not ready to leave our little home. I love it here. Im really excited about the new baby coming. Im only about ten weeks but i am definetly sick. I was sick the whole time with Jack, and it seems worse with this one. At least with Jack I could puke and get it out of my system. Now I just feel like crap all day. but its going to be fun. I have two sister-in- laws who are also pregnant so the babies will be close in age. Well I know this was alot. Somethimes you just have to let it all out at once.

Kitchen Makeover






These are about a year old but i wanted to put on here what we did before Jack was born. I was 8 months pregnant when I came home from work and Jason had torn my kitchen apart. We had talked about this since we moved in. We just hadnt done anything yet. But i guess he got motivated. I was out of a kitchen for about two weeks. And talk about saw dust everywhere. There were a few nights I couldnt even be in the house. But it has been so nice and it was an amazing change from what we had. I love it. We put in a dishwasher but its still not hooked up yet. We have to replace our fuse box for a breaker box to do it. So more works are in for us. We have been here 3 1/2 years and its been a good home.

Oh-The Joy of Pictures!!!


HE IS SO CUTE!!!My baby is 9 months old. We went to Twin Falls last weekend to see family,and just have a weekend away. We usually stay at Jason's dads but my sister Ashley gave us a discount on a room at the Ameritel.It was so fun (post that later). And of course we went for family pictures. I feel very lucky I have a sister-in-law that does picture. That way when he turns into a stinker, And you have the last minute outfit change and OH YEAH the bottle cause he got really bad. You dont have some lady looking at you like you cant get it together and your child is out of control. Yeah , pictures are great. But they did turn out so really good. Thanks Bethany. I love them you did a great job.

Finally!. I have been saving for this. I ordered new blinds from my mom at Classic Interiors. I
was so excited when she called to tell me they were here. I couldnt wait to get to up. Jason had Monday off so he took down the old ones and we go the windows all clean. Then Jordon,(he works with mom) brought them over to hang them. I can not believe the difference it makes my living room. I love it. Now I just need so curtains or something to hang above them.

ITS ABOUT TIME!




You would think Id be able to sit down and do at least a little update but life in the Cook House is BUSY BUSY. Jack is now 6 months old and doing so good. He is starting on baby food which he is not to sure about. He just gives us that disgusted look like we are crazy. He has always slept through the night but now each morning I find him in a different spot on his belly usually with his butt in the air. Its pretty funny.
Jason has stayed on the go too. Its been busy at Blackers which is always good. His calling in the church is the Bishops secretary so he isnt around much on Sunday and Tuesdays. He has played footballed for the Idaho Falls Mustangs for almost six years and believe it or not practice has already started for them. So for the next six months he isnt around much. Dont be shocked when I say Im not that thrilled. This may be the one thing we really disagree on. :) But he likes it and as long as he doesnt break anything he stays on my good list.
I am still at the Bank. 8-5 is nice hours but Im still alway from Jack too much. With the new year there comes the resolutions. So I started getting up early and walking/running on the treadmill. My sister Ashley works for the Ameritel so I get free acess to their fitness room. Convenient I know.
We are heading to Twin Falls this weekend for his dads birthday. Lets see how long it takes me to post that. HAHAHA!!!!

Happy Holidays!! Cant believe Christmas will be here in no time. I keep meaing to update my blog but always end up seeing what everyone else is up too. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. It was Jason's year to have dinner with his family so we went to Twin Falls for the day to see his dad. It was so fun and dinner was really good. His dad smokes the turkey and turns out I like it alot. Jack turned 5 months that day. he is getting so big. He went to straight formula a few weeks ago and does so good, he holds the bottle all by himself.
My sister Kiley is our family babysitter. I love it. She started up a little daycare of her own and took on all our kids. Jason and I cleaned house so she could use our place. Its nice that Jack is able to stay home and I love that he is with Ky. I know he is taken care of .
Im so excited for Christmas, I really do love the holidays. My family has sorta worked out a way so we get to have at least one holiday each year. Last year was with Jasons family so this year its my turn . I love it. My sister Ashley finally moved here so after 6 years all the girls are together. Plus its Jack and Gavin first Christmas. Not that they will really care much I think its more for me and Ashley than anything. I want to wish everyone Merry Christmas I hope its great for all.
