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.

New Pics!!

I just wanted to share a few pictures. We are having Family ones done hopefully soon so I will post those when I can.

Out with the old- In with the NEW!!!!!

The new ones(top)!!!- The old ones-(bottom)

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.

A Day Off

Monday was Columbus Day so the Bank was closed. Jason has Mondays off too so we all spent the day together. We wanted to just get in the car and go for a drive but we only got as far as Rigby. We stopped and had Bambinos at Picketts. If you havent had these you need to try them they are so good. We then drove all over the place looking for the Prepared Pantry. We finally called my mom and had her Google the address. We were way off. :) Anyway they have this cookie mix that Jason loves. Plus tons of of mixes for muffins, pancakes, breads, oh and tons of syrup its crazy but so good. We bought stuff for German pancakes and Pumpkin pancakes which I love. We had a good time. And Jack pretty much slept the whole time too. It was fun.

On an even happier note. My sister Ashley and her family have finally made the move to Idaho. Chris got a job with Verzion Wireless and is in training for the next few weeks. Ashley and the kids moved up over the weekend and getting settled. They are staying at moms while they look for a house. I am so excited that they are here. Its going to be fun watching Jack and Gavin grow up together.
