2012-01-21T18:07:00.000-08:00

Well, I have set a goal for this next year to at least update this once of month. If I have time I will try to do more, but my goal is to at least do once a month. Things are going well for us. Cade is staying busy with Coltrin Central Vacuum and both Gyms. They are both doing really well the last 2 months which is awesome! I'm so proud of my hubby he does so much for are family. It is crazy to think that next month we will be married for 8 years. Oh I love that man.

CJ is still loving kindergarten and is doing well and loves his teacher. I think he is getting a little more excited about having a baby sister. All though he would rather be having a brother. He likes to feel her move and talk to her. He wants to name her Teddy from Good Luck Charlie. :) Oh I love that kid.

Payten well, she is such a drama queen. She is now 3 and really wants to go to pre-school. I have to keep telling her next year. She loves to draw and color. She is such a girl. She thinks she is so funny too. Oh how she make me laugh and smile. I love her.

As for baby #3 she is such an active baby. She is always moving. I'm almost 31 weeks and we can't wait to meet this little baby.

We had a really good Christmas this last year and then Cade turned 30 this year. He is so old!! :)

As for me I'm staying busy taking care of the house, the kiddos and working from home and my church calling in the Young Womens. Cade and I feel very blessed with all that we have and are very thankful. Here are some pictures to enjoy.

3 Years old and I'm a slacker

2011-11-17T14:28:00.000-08:00

So I have been slacking really bad on my blog or should I say I have had no time. I'm really busy trying to be a stay at home mom and a working mom from home and something just don't get done and that is ok as long as my kids feel loved and have my attention i'm good. We are excited to say that we are expecting baby #3 and it is another GIRL. oh help me. Girl drama kills me. Special when they are only 3 years old. No we are excited and can't wait to see her. I'm due march 26th 4 days before CJ birthday. It will be crazy to think I will be a mother of 3. Wish me luck. We found out on Friday 11th and lets just says that CJ is so not excited to have another sister. He told me he already has one and that he wanted a brother so I can try again in a year for that brother of his. YA RIGHT!! :) Hopefully he warms up to the idea that he is having another sister. We will see. It is crazy to think that he is in Kindergarten this year. When did my little boy grow up so fast. Oh how I love that kid. He is my bigger helper and I love it. He sure does know how to push my buttons though.

As for our little sassy drama queen she is turning 3 today. Where did that last 3 years go. They says it is the trouble 2, but not in this house. It is the trouble 3. But having a girl is so fun she just loves to test my patience and she know she is so darn cute. So glad this sweet thing is in out family. Love you pitterpatter.

As the for the Coltrin's we are doing good and staying busy. Cade and his brothers are opening another gym and this one will be in Meridian. So between the 2 gyms and the vacuum system and being a husband and dad he is really busy, but does a good job at it all. I love that man. I think I'm pretty lucky to be married to such a great man. Well, this is all the time I have for now until who knows when!!

5 Years Old

2011-04-07T12:57:00.000-07:00

So I know I'm behind and that CJ birthday was last week, but I wanted to get it on my blog. So on the 30th of March my little man turned 5. I know you heard me right 5. I can't even believe it myself. Sometimes it seems like yesterday he was born. So for his birthday this year Cade and I decided he could have a friend birthday party. We had it at Monkey Bizness because that is where he wanted it. He had so much fun. He had a lot of friend who were able to come. It was great. Then after his party we took him to go and get his first bike. We have been trying for the last couple of years to get him a bike and he hasn't wanted one, but this year he did. So we went and got him one and now he is learning how to ride it. :)

The week before his party we took him to his kindergarten physical. He do so well. I was so proud of him. Doctor appointment have never been good with him since he was a baby. He usually freaks, but not this time and he even had to get shots. Cade and I laughed when the nurse brought back his status and guess what his percentile was for height. 3%. Yep you read that right 3%. He is a little short, but I love it. It fits him well.

CJ you have been a joy in our lives. We love you more than you will ever know. He is my love bug and very smart for his age. I'm thank my heaven father for bring you to this family. Happy Birthday buddy!!

Today I have sometime where I can update our family blog. Yippy! We are ready for some spring weather. This raining is getting old and the kids want to play outside so bad. Saturday was a pretty good day and they played outside for a while which was nice because I was cooking all day with my sister Robyn and Cade was at work. Robyn and I have decided that we are going to try doing freezer meals. So Friday night we went shopping for our 15 meals for the month each meal is to last 2 nights. Then on Saturday we made all the meals. We had fun and learned what we will do different next time. I can't wait to try the meals.

CJ is loving pre-school and next week he goes to the doctor to get his shots for Kindergarten. We are getting him all register for Kindergarten. It is so crazy to think that next year he is going to kindergarten. He is such a smart little burger.

Payten is my crazy girl. Oh she loves to push her brothers buttons. They have been fighting like crazy and I'm about to go nuts, but that is was siblings do best right? I love having a girl, but oh my goodness I think she is a lot harder than CJ in some ways. But she is the cutest little thing ever and brings a spunk into the family.

Cade and his brothers are opening a 24 hour gym called Idaho Fitness Factory the first part of April. They have been working really hard on getting it ready the last 2 1/2 weeks. I'm really proud of my husband. He has been working really hard and really long hours to get this ready. It will be really nice. They even have a website http://www.idahofitnessfactory.com/

As for me I'm staying busy being a mom and working from home. I'm so ready for some warm weather. Oh how I love the heat. :) All in all we are doing great and feel very blessed for all that we have. Here are some random pictures.

7 Years

2011-02-21T08:13:00.000-08:00

Well, it is crazy to think that 7 years ago I was married to my wonderful husband. It is crazy how time flies. I'm very lucky to be married to my best friend. He is the best husband for me. He has taught me a lot and takes really good care of his family. He is so good with our kids and they love their daddy. The best part of it all is that we will be together forever and I wouldn't change that for anything. I love how he is so willing to serve others and how he is a really, really hard worker. He is my Handy Man around the house. He can fix anything which is so nice. CJ always tells me when something breaks "Don't worry about it daddy can fix it". :) I love how he is a BIG nerd and always makes me laugh. So today I say Happy Anniversary babe and many more to come!! I love ya to death!!

Update Please!!

Payten and her baby she got for her b-day. CJ was so excited for her birthday.
All the little cousins

Our Christmas tree the kids help decorate

CJ and mommy

Wrestling

Halloween and the pumkins we carved.

So I'm so far behind in posting. My goal this year was to be better at blogging and I haven't done so well the last 6 months. The whole reason is so I can make a journal out of it. Oh well, I'm trying to keep up being a mom of 2 and working from home at the same time. The last 2 months have been good for us. It is crazy to think we are almost starting a new year. Where did the last year go. I love this time of year. Not the weather, but I do love Christmas. We put up our tree on Sunday and the kids had a lot of fun. It was so cute to watch them this year.

Well, last month my baby turned 2 and I can't believe it. She is so naughty, but the cutest thing ever. She has definitely hit the TEAR ABLE 2. Oh my gosh. It is so fun to watch how different her and CJ are. CJ was so different at this age. Payten is into everything and very sneaky. She loves to get dirty and loves to wrestle her brother. She is still my good little sleeper and loves to talk. Cade and I say that sometimes she has diarrhea of the mouth. :) She loves to listen to music and sing.

CJ is my big boy. I can't believe that he is going to be 5 next year. He is my bigger helper and loves pre-school. He is such a smart kid. He has changed so much in the last year. It is so crazy how big he is getting. Cade and I feel so blessed to have 2 cute, health kids. They are such a joy to us.

This last month my sister had her 4th baby and she is so darn cute. They have definitely gone through so much. She was born on November 6th with a heart condition. She is still in the hospital, but they hope to have her home soon. My sister and my brother-in law have been the greatest example to me. To see how strong and how much there faith in the gospel has grown has definitely strength my faith. I know for sure that my mother is proud of them and how far they have come. I can see her with her big smile and just giggling with excitement. Same goes for my niece. Her and her husband just got sealed last weekend and Cade and I got to go. What a joy that was and how happy we are for them.

Here are some random pictures of my crazy kids who we love so much!!!

CJ

2010-10-04T20:34:00.000-07:00

CJ "mom the top of my roof hurts"

Me " the top of your roof hurts??"

CJ "yes the top of my roof hurts to swallow"

Me "your roof or your throat?"

CJ "well both of them"

Yep, that is right last Friday at about 4:30 pm he told me the top of his roof hurt and while drinking his milk made it hurt even more. Good thing Cade was to be home from his business trip around 5pm. So I took CJ temperature around 5:00 and sure enough he had a temperature of 100.7. Plus he just didn't look like he felt well. So at 6 Cade and I took him to the doctor and he was positive for strep. This is his first time, but as soon as he told me his "roof hurt" I knew he had strep. Well, we got him some medicine and Saturday he was doing better and by Sunday he was back to himself. Thanks goodness. The craziest thing is he was completely fine all day on Friday until 4:30. He never has had a runny nose or anything. I'm just glad I listen to my motherly instinct and took him to the doctor.

A much needed post

2010-09-29T20:09:00.000-07:00

laid her down for bed went and checked on her 2 hours later and this what we saw.

Cheeeesssseeee!

The cutest cheerleader ever.

CJ & Daigen's first day of preschool

The Western Idaho fair

Well, I have been slacking really bad at blogging. Life has just been a little crazy. Taking care of two active kiddo's and working from home and being a mom is a very busy life.

CJ started preschool for his second year. He goes Monday, Wednesday and Friday and he loves it so much and he has the best teacher ever and he tells me ever day he loves her. He is such a good boy this year and is Miss Susan big helper. She told me the other day how much he has grown up over the summer and what a different boy he is this year compared to last year. It is so crazy how big my little boy is getting. Being a mother is the best job ever. Some days are really hard, but it is so worth it. They just melt my heart.

As for Payten well, she is just naughty. She loves to get into everything, but as she says "I'm sweet". She is getting so big and is talking really well. I think I might try and potty train her here really soon. She always wants to sit on the toilet and tells me she needs to go and is pulling her diaper off all the time. It is so crazy how different boys and girls are. CJ was 3 when I potty trained him and it was a little hard. Payten is only 22 months. Well I will try it and see how is goes. She is finally going to nursery now which is really nice. She loves playing with her big brother and thinks he is so cool. It is pretty cute.

As for Cade and I we are doing good. Just enjoying watching our 2 kiddo's get big and enjoying the nice weather. Here are some random pictures. Hope you enjoy. :)

2010-07-19T21:00:00.000-07:00

So I have been so bad at blogging lately. I'm just enjoying the summer with my two little munchkins. The weather has been really warm the last week. This summer has been so much nicer because CJ has decided that he likes to play in the water and well Payten she is my water baby. Well she not much of a baby anymore. It is so crazy how big my kids are. Time flies by so fast. We are excited for next week because we have a family reunion which will be fun. We will be camping and CJ loves to camp. It is crazy to think we are half way through summer. I wish winter went by this fast too. :) Well, all is well with the Coltrin's and nothing new or exciting.

4 Years ago today!

9 Months

2nd birthday

5 months

Today my little man is turning 4. I can't believe he is getting so big. Some days it seems like we just had him. He has such a sweet spirit and is such a wonderful big brother. Payten loves him so much and always calls him buddy. It is so cute to hear her call him that. I just love being a mother and I'm so proud of my two kids. They bring such joy into our lives. Don't get me wrong I have my days where I would like to go crazy. :) CJ I love you big buddy and I hope you always remember that. You have taught me so much as a mother and I'm so thankful you are in this family. You are such a smart, funny, love able, kissable, squeeze able, big boy. I love you!!!

Fred Meyers Clearance Sale

2010-02-23T11:10:00.000-08:00

Today 02/21/2010

Today is Cade and mines Anniversary. It is crazy to think that it has been 6 years. Time sure flies by. I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband. He is my best friend and an awesome father. He works so hard so I can stay home with our 2 kids. I'm so thankful for all that he does for this family. I love him so much and I can't wait for more years together. I love you babe!! Your the BEST!!

Trying to be crafty

2010-02-02T12:15:00.000-08:00

It is hanging on the wall

So I made my niece's wedding gift this year and I wanted to do something crafty and cute and something special. I'm not a crafty person and I wish I was. So I saw this cute craft in a craft store and it gave me a cute idea for their wedding gift. I think it came out cute for my first craft project. I had a lot of fun making it and will continue to do more projects. I was going to post this back when I did it, but I forgot.

Nothing Like A GOOD Deal

2010-01-29T11:46:00.000-08:00

So yes we all know that I love cereal. One of my favorite cereal is Life cereal. I could eat that for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Well, this week Albertson's is having an amazing deal on Quaker stuff. So I collected a bunch of coupons for this deal and went and stocked up on Life cereal. ( I do couponing when I find a really good deal on things we use and need and when I can find time. :) ) I bought 50 boxes of cereal. I know crazy, but we love Life cereal here at the Coltrin even CJ. I saved $167.49 in preferred savings and $31 in manufactured coupons. That is a total of $ 198.49 in savings. I only paid $24 for all 50 boxes. That make each boxes only $0.48 cents. NICE... I was so happy. Here is all 50 boxes. I love a great deal. :) Let me just tell you since I started couponing almost a year ago I do not spend more than $1.40 (nor will I pay more then that) on cereal. At Albertson's they have promo's deals every week. I wait for them to do cereal promo's I like and then I get coupons and then stock up. It is so nice and it has saved us a lot of money. This week I have also gotten some really good deal on Huggies diapers at Walgreen's and Target. What a great week for couponing!!!

DAY GET AWAY!!!!

2010-01-17T11:52:00.000-08:00

Yes Rod is driving while I took this picture. :)
Robyn and I in the back having fun.

At lunch!!

Well, yesterday was my sister 40th birthday. So her oldest daughter and my two other sisters and my brother and I do drove down to Jerome to surprise her for her birthday. We had a fun time. We went out to lunch and then to the movies and then drove home. It was fun being dorks all day. I'm so grateful for my family. They are the best. Love you guys to death. Thanks for a fun day and sis hope you had the best birthday ever. We love you!! Thanks to the hubbies for watching the kiddos and thanks Angs for letting Rod come with us. You guys are great.

Happy Birthday My Love!!

2010-01-06T09:01:00.000-08:00

Happy birthday babe!! I'm so thankful to have you as my husband and the father to our kids. You are such a good dad and such a hard worker. I would have to say I'm one of the luckiest ladies. But I'm sure you all feel that way towards your hubbies. So we are all so lucky to have the hubbies that we have. :) I just hope you have a great day and I just want you to know that I love you so much and thanks for putting up with me. :)

Go Broncos

2010-01-04T10:03:00.000-08:00

Here is our little cheerleader!! My sister in law found this cute little outfit back in October. It is a 2T so it is a little big. She looks so darn cute. Let go broncos! Hope we win.

Christmas!

2009-12-30T14:23:00.001-08:00

Cade's white elephant gift he got.

CJ pj he got to open. He was so excited.

Payten opening her gift from her cousin.

The sunday before Christmas.

Payten's Christmas dress. CJ would not let me take a picture of him.

So Christmas was good this year. We had a sleep over at my sister house with all my siblings and their families. (expect one sister and her family) Surprising it wasn't that crazy. It was a lot of fun. Except for my whiner niner kids. :) Oh well, that's what happens when a baby is teething and also when you have a little boy named CJ. :) Christmas Day we spent the morning with Cade's family. We got home around 1:30 and finished opening present with our little family. I made a Christmas dinner this year for my little family and then we drove around that night looking at Christmas lights. It was a lot of fun and a family tradition we would like to start as our own. Cade and I this year also did Christmas for a family instead of spend much on each other. We took the kids shopping and then wrapped all the stuff up and then Christmas eve day we delivered the gifts. We are so glad we did that and to see how happy those kids were to get Christmas this year was all I need to see to make my Christmas. It is definitely something we will do every year. CJ had fun picking out toys and clothes and I think he got the idea of why we were doing it. This year has definitely had its challenges and we are ready for a new year, but we know that we have been truly blessed and we are so thankful for that. We hope you all had a great Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Update Finally! :)

So happy on her birthday!!

CJ didn't want to take his picture.

But I got it anyway. :)

After the race. My daddy came to cheer us on. What a great dad he is. It was so cold.

5 minutes before the race.

The pumpkin patch.

I have been slacking really bad lately. So here is an update on the Coltrin's. CJ is loving pre-school. He has the best teacher ever. For Halloween this year he wanted to be tiger again and the costume fit him from last year so that was really nice and he wanted Payten to be a bee. So we got her a bee outfit. Don't think she really cared what she was. :) CJ had so much fun going from door to door. He did not want to stop. So we had a good Halloween. Also is October me and my sister and some girlfriends ran the prison break race. Cala and I did the 10k. It was so cold that day and we didn't do as well as we wanted too, but hey we finished and that is all that matters. At least that is what I'm telling myself. :)

Payten turned one on November 17th. I can't believe that my baby is one. This last year has gone by so fast. She is such a good baby and we love having her in our family. CJ loves his sissy so much. Sometimes a little to much. Now that she is getting bigger and army crawling all over the place it is so much fun to watch them play together. Aunt Ang made her a little princess cake this year. It was so cute. Payten of course loved her cake. She loves food.

Then on November 28th Karlene got married to an awesome guy who the family loves so much. She looked so beautiful that day and we are so happy for the two of them. It will be weird not having her live with us anymore and I know CJ will miss having her and Vaughn over. He was their little shadow. :) So all is well with us this year and we fill so blessed at this time of year. We are so thankful for all that we have. So here are some pictures to enjoy.

PreSchool

2009-09-17T11:00:00.000-07:00

Getting ready to eat. So excited.
Second day of school and so cute. :)

What the heck are you thinking putting me on here with him!

They love eachother.

Game day baby!! Supporting our team.

So CJ had his first day of preschool on Tuesday and of course he didn't want his picture taken so I didn't get one, but today was his second day and he wanted his picture take so I got a really cute picture of him. He is enjoying preschool and I think it will be so good for him. Payten is now 10 months and as CJ says " she getting bigger and bigger". So loves to eat and you can tell. Here are some pictures of them. Not much had happened this month which is nice. So enjoy the pictures.

Fair & Camping

2009-08-30T15:40:00.000-07:00

So this last week has been a lot of fun for us. On Monday we went to the Fair. It was family day so we took the kids and had a lot of fun. Our niece Amanda came and Cade's dad and his wife came too. Plus we hooked up with my sister and her hubby. It was a lot of fun and CJ had a blast on all the rides. It was good family time. Then this weekend we went camping in Cascade with my sister and her family and her husbands brother and wife. I was a little worried. Cade doesn't really like to travel because CJ doesn't do to well when we travel. Plus we have never camped with a baby so we were a little nervous, but all went well. CJ had a blast and the kids slept the whole night through and for the most part the weather wasn't too bad. It was fun and we will for sure do a lot more next summer. The camp site had a ton of bee which was so annoying and out of all the people to get stung my poor little baby girl got stung right by her ear, but she was a trooper and was fine after 10 minutes. She is such an angel. Then my brother and his wife and family came to our camp site for Saturday afternoon. It was crazy him and his family were camping in cascade too about 45 minutes away from us so they meet up with us Saturday afternoon and left at dinner time. The kids had a ball. So it was a good experience and we had fun.

9 Months

2009-08-21T15:40:00.000-07:00

Payten is now nine months. It is crazy how time flies. She is such a good girl. She has 2 teeth that came in the first part of July and more working their way. I took her to her nine month appointment. Here are her stats

Weight: 19 lbs 12 oz. 75%

Height: 27 1/2 50%

Head Circumference: 17 3/4 90%

She is a very health baby. She loves to eat anything. Which is so nice because C.J. is so picky it drives me crazy. C.J. starts preschool on September 15. I can't believe my little man is that big. We are way excited and so is he. Here are some pictures.

Summer Fun!

2009-07-20T13:06:00.000-07:00

Well, I just love the summer. So much you can do and I love the heat. Over the last month or so we have had some fun stuff. In June I took CJ and Payten to Eagle Island with some family and friends and CJ had fun playing in the sand. CJ has been afraid of the water since he was one. He will not get in it. So at Eagle Island he played with the sand instead and watch friends and family play in the water. We also went to Meridian Dairy days and he rode some rides. He had so much fun riding the rides. We also started potty training in June and he is doing really well. So good bye diapers hello and underwear. I'm so proud of him. The first couple of week we had some accidents, but nothing too bad. Now we maybe have one a week if that. In July we had a family reunion and it was so much fun. That is when we had a break through with CJ. He decided that he wanted to go swimming and had so much fun. So now he loves to play in the water. Which is nice. Last week we went to Cascade for the weekend with Cade family and had a lot of fun. I'm so bad I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pictures. So we are enjoying our summer.

Slacker

2009-06-17T14:19:00.000-07:00

CJ drew that fish himself. I was so proud of him.

So yes I have been a slacker. Well, here is an update on the Coltrin's. In May I ran the Race for the Cure with Robyn, Cala and Karlene. It was great. I had only been running for a couple of weeks out side and the race was 5k. It felt so good and I had a blast. I was so glad that I did it. It motivated me to want to run more out side and do more longer races. Then the next weekend Cade ran a half marathon. He trained in 5 weeks with Dan our brother-in-law. Cade was an animal. He did so good. I was so proud of him. It killed his body. Way to go BABE. :) Then the next weekend we headed to Utah. We went there to take CJ to Thomas the Train in Heber City. He had so much fun. He is really into trains right now. We also went to the Hoggle Zoo which was a lot of fun. CJ and Payten both did really well on the trip. So May was a pretty busy month for us. It was nice. Payten is now 7 months. It is crazy how time flies by. She is a good baby, but her attitude is coming out more. CJ is a good big brother. He loves his sister so much. Sometime too much. :) CJ is at the age where he thinks he know everything. :) He is being such a burger about pottying training. He should have been out of diapers oh 6 months ago, but he doesn't want anything to do with the toilet. Hopefully by the end of the summer we can get him into his big boy underwear. Wish me lucky. :) We are so excited it is summer and hopefully the weather will get nicer. All in all we are doing really well. Here are some picture over the last 2 months.

A much needed update

2009-04-15T14:46:00.000-07:00

loving his sissy
Easter day. cj wouldn't let me take his picture.

Easter day after church

looking at what is in the eggs

grandpa k. and payten

my dad's house & cousins

So I have been slacking on blogging. So here is a little update. CJ birthday was on March 30 and he turned 3. We had family pictures that day so after that we had the whole family come over and we had cake and ice cream and pizza. CJ had fun playing with his cousins. The Saturday before his birthday Cade and I and Payten and CJ all went to Chuckie Cheese. He had so much fun. I can't believe that he is 3. Time is flying by. He is such a good big bother and he loves his sister very much.

Then Easter came and we had to 2 Easter egg hunts. First we went to my dads and then we went to Cade dad's house. Then on Sunday we had my family over for Easter dinner. We were so glad the weather was nice that weekend. We all just chilled out side and played games. It made me really excited for summer. I just love summer. He are a couple of pictures.

So the Coltrin's are all doing well and are exciting for the warm weather.

Payten 4 months old.

2009-03-21T13:05:00.000-07:00

So this week was Payten's 4 months appointment. She is weighing in at 16 pounds 3 ounces which is in the 97%. Nice. :) and her height is 23 3/4 in. which is in the 50%. Which is really good for a Coltrin. :) She is such a good baby and such a wonderful sleeper. So opposite of her brother. :) Things are going really well here at the good old Coltrins. We are just so excited for spring and summer.

C.J. is such a good big brother. It is crazy to think that my little boy is going to be three in 9 days. We are really excited for his birthday and so his he. Here are some pictures of the kids. Hope you enjoy.

Happy Anniversary and to the hopsital we go.....

2009-02-21T14:19:00.000-08:00

Well, today is our 5 year Anniversary. It is crazy how time flies. We had a sitter all planned out and some time for the two of us to enjoy the day, but that didn't get to happen. C.J. got he flu on Monday night throw up all night all day Tuesday a couple times on Wednesday, twice on Thursday and once on Friday. Yesterday he looked so bad so I decided to call his doctor at 5:00pm the night, they told me to bring him in at 6:30 so we did. The doctor told us he was dehydrated really bad and that we could take him home and try to get him to drink some liquids and have a wet diaper ( note he hadn't had a wet diaper in 24 hours and his lips were so chapped) and keep the fluids down. Well, he had a little wet diaper, but the pee was brown and he wouldn't drink anything. So she told us to bring him into the hospital so they could pump him with IV fluids. So Cade took him to the hospital and stayed the night with him. His lap work in the morning was a little better so they told us we could take him home just make sure he get plenty of fluids and can keep stuff down and bring him back tomorrow for some more test, if things get worse and he won't drink or eat or gets worst then to bring him back. So we are hoping for the best. So for our Anniversary we are spending time as a family. :) Hopefully C.J. is back to feeling good soon. I miss my happy little boy. I was able to get a picture at home so here is what he looked like all week. I didn't make it to the hospital before they took his IVs out so no picture of him there. Lets just say I HATE THE FLU.... We are just hoping that Payten doesn't get this all at. So far we are really lucky!!! So that is the lastest with the Coltrin's.

Update!!

2009-01-27T13:44:00.000-08:00

look at my yummy cheeks

Loves to suck on her fist

Blessing day Jan. 11, 2009 she is wearing the dress I was blessed in made by my grandma.

So I know it has been almost a month since I have posted anything, but life is a little busy when you have two kids. Payten is now 2 months and I can't believe that. Time sure does fly by. She is a very good baby. Thank goodness. I took her to the doctor last week and she weighted in at 13 pounds 4 ounces. She is in the 97% for weight. I love it. She is so chunky. However her height she was in the 25% measuring in at 21 and 3/4 inches long. Which is no surprise to me. :) C.J. loves his sister so much almost a little to much. It is crazy to think that he will be 3 in two months. He is such a good brother, but he is getting a little attitude these days. I think the 3's are worst then the 2's. So all is well with the Coltrin's. Here are some picture of our cute kids.

My cute kids

2008-12-29T12:59:00.000-08:00

Here are my three cute kids Christmas morning. :) We had a good Christmas this year. It is always nice to get together and spend time with family. Hope everyone else had a good Christmas this year.

My wonderful family

2008-12-03T16:44:00.000-08:00

So my awesome friend Natalie took some pictures of our precious kids and some of us with Payten. She did such a wonderful job and the pictures turned out so good. Thanks a bunch Natalie we really appreciate it. You should check out her blog: http://www.nataliesandallphotography.blogspot.com/ . Here are some of the wonderful pictures she got.

My Wonderful Husband

2008-12-02T12:03:00.000-08:00

Cade is always good about putting up the Christmas tree and decorating our housing and also putting up the outside lights. He does such a good job and he enjoys doing it. We always put our Christmas stuff up the night of Thanksgiving. Here is a picture of the wonderful job my husband did of the outside.

Payten KaroLee Coltrin

2008-11-21T13:34:00.000-08:00

Payten arrived on Monday the 17th at 12:00 pm. She weight 8 pounds 6 ounces and 19 inches long. My delivery was so nice and much easier than her brothers. I pushed less then 10 minutes. It was nice. It is so much fun having a little girl and so far she is such a great baby. C.J. loves his sissy and that is her name, if you call her Payten he says"no that is sissy." We are so excited she is here. Here is a picture of our sweet and precious baby!!

So bummed!!

2008-11-12T09:00:00.000-08:00

So I had my doctor appointment yesterday and not much had changed in a couple of days so we set up a time for me to be induce and the week before he told me that we could do it on Thursday of this week. Nope didn't happen we schedule for Monday the 17th at 7:00 am. I was a little frustrated, but oh well. Hopefully she will come on her own in the next couple of days. Well, lets just pray for the shake of my husband and son. :) I have a lot of pressure down there and I'm having more more contraction each day and very, very tired, but that is life. So that is the latest for me. We are just so excited to see her.

Halloween 2008

2008-11-02T10:04:00.000-08:00

So this year for Halloween C.J. was Tigger. At first he hated the costume, but his cousin came over and put it on and then he thought it was a pretty cool costume. He loves to bounce around. We first went to Grandma and Grandpa house and then we had a ward party and then Cade took him to his cousin football game. It was a fun and nice evening. Here is our cute Tigger. :)

Walking here I come!!! :)

2008-10-31T10:57:00.000-07:00

Good news I can get off the couch and start walking and get this baby out. I will be 37 weeks tomorrow and doctor gave me the ok to do what ever I would like. I'm 75% aphased and dilated to a 1. So lets just say in the last 2 days I have been walking a lot and plan on doing it until she comes out. :) My next appointment is on November 5. I'm so done. I look like I have swallowed a nice watermelon maybe if you are lucky I will take a picture of the belly and post it, but we will see.

Doctor's orders

2008-10-23T07:39:00.000-07:00

Just a little update. I went to the doctor yesterday and I was a dilated and I'm only 35 and half weeks I will be 36 weeks on Saturday and so he told me I'm to stay off my feet as much as possible until next week. Thinking to myself sure and take care of a 2 1/2 year old. Luckily C.J. has been good and lets me lay on the couch and we watch his cartoons. So I'm trying to do as the doctor says I don't' want her to come too, too early. I go and see him Wednesday of next week so we will see what is going on then. That is the latest on the good old Coltrin's.

I've been Tagged

2008-10-13T14:26:00.000-07:00

1. After breakfast everyday I have to make our bed. It drives me nuts if our bed is not made.

2. After I take a shower I do the same thing every day. I have to lotion my body first thing and I do it the same way every day.

3. I do all the bills because I have to see where all the money is going. I have been very tight with money since I was a teen.

4. Like my sister I love peanut butter on my waffles, pancakes, and french toast. I just love peanut butter.

5. Like my cousin I'm a cereal freak. I could eat cereal for all three meals and sometimes I do. My husband thinks I'm weird. :)

6. I hate the winter. I hate to be cold. I love summer and enjoying the heat.

7. I'm not a water person, but I'm trying to be better. I have done really good with this pregnancy and I'm starting to like it better. It has to be really cold water for me to drink it.

Whoever read this is welcome to play a long. I had to do it because my sister would hurt me if I didn't. :) I won't make anyone do it if they don't want too. So if you want to play a long great. If not you wont hurt my feelings. :)

Talented Lady!!

2008-09-25T10:48:00.000-07:00

So this amazing talented lady I know Audrey Lewis took some maternity pictures for me. I was trying to get pictures of C.J. kissing my tummy cause he does it all the time at home, but he was a little burger that night. He didn't want his picture take at all. I felt so bad for Audrey. She did so good and got some really nice shots. Here are a couple, but if you want to see more check out her blog at: http://allaudie.blogspot.com/

I love the family picture because that is the only way we could get C.J. to smile. Thank you so much Audrey. You are awesome!!

Silly Boy

2008-09-10T12:11:00.000-07:00

C.J. was being really silly the other day and was having so much fun with his hamper that I just had to take a picture. Then also him and his daddy were playing hide and seek from me. So I took a picture of there cute hiding spot. C.J. loves to get into his outside toy box. He is just getting so big these days. Not much is going on with us. Just waiting for good old November to come and getting things ready for the new arrival.

Family Day at the Fair

2008-08-19T16:03:00.000-07:00

Collin and C.J. eating dinner
C.J. and his cowboy hat
C.J. and daddy on the train

So yesterday was family day at the Western Idaho Fair. We took C.J. and Clark, Bairds, Browns and Kynaston all went too. We all kinda did our own thing. It was fun, but very hot. It had to be at least 105. It was crazy. C.J. had fun looking at the animals and he surprised us by enjoying some rides. We never know with him. So next year we know to buy some tickets for rides. We had a fun day with family.

26 Weeks

2008-08-13T18:58:00.000-07:00

C.J. saw that I was taking a picture and came running to be in it.

Ok so it has been 4 weeks since I last posted a belly picture. So this is for Lindsey, Lanie and Alex. I'm being very nice and I will even post one of my face. It look like I swallowed a nice basketball. It is crazy I carry really high with my pregnancy. I look like butt though because this was taken right after I ate and my belly is so fully and it is 8 at night and I'm really tired today, but hey it is all good. I had a doctor appointment and all is well. Yippee. Not much is new with the good old Coltrin's. Well, I hope you enjoy!!!

Swim Party

2008-08-04T08:15:00.000-07:00

C.J. watching everyone

So Saturday we had a little family gathering for my side of the family at Cade's brother's house. They have a nice pool and are so awesome and let my family come and have a fun day in the sun. We had a BBQ and did some swimming. Of course all the kids except C.J. were little fishes. C.J. hates the water or I should say he has a big fear of the water. He won't get in any pool. So he did he own thing by watching and just walking around. It was a fun day. I'm glad we were able to do it.

Random Pictures!

2008-07-31T13:15:00.000-07:00

Well, it has been awhile since I have updated my blog so I thought I would put some pictures of C.J. that I took in the last 2 weeks. He is so cute these days. Every time he comes up to me and points to my belly and says " baby sissy" and gives her kisses it is so cute and every time we leave he says we are going Daigen and Bosten house and he know how to get there. He tells us which way. So when we go places and we are not going the right way he gets all mad and lets us know. He is such a smart kid. He always asks me where is Bosten. He loves his new cousin. He gets the giggles when he see Bosten. Lets just hope he is that happy about his sister when she get here. :)

As for me this 2nd trimester has been so nice. I feel good and she is a very very active little girl. All in all I can't complain and I wont. Well, I hope you enjoy the pictures.

2008-07-14T09:46:00.000-07:00

GIRL!!!!! Well, I just got back from my doctor appointment and we found out that we are having a little girl and we are so excited. This pregnancy has been a lot different from my other one. So now the fun part comes when I get to go shopping for a girl. Don't get me wrong shopping for a boy is fun, but they just have some really cute girl clothes. C.J. is going to be such a good little brother to his sissy. Now for all of you cousins who want to see a belly picture I will take one tonight when Cade can take one of me and I will post one really soon. I promise!!!! :)

Update

2008-06-30T19:57:00.000-07:00

Finished project

Daddy & me flexing ( we are matching too :) )

runny to mommy to look at the camera

So I know I have been really bad this month, but I do have a reason. The first part of the month our computer crashed and we had to get a new one so we didn't have a computer for week and half. I was going crazy. Plus I'm really bad at taking pictures my goal is to be better at it. Not a lot is new with us. We find out on the 14th what sex the baby is and we are both really excited to find out. My niece Karlene moved in with us and it has been fun having her living here. C.J. loves her being here. He loves to follow her up to her room and play in there with her. Cade finished C.J. room and did a really good job. C.J. thinks his room is so cool. He loves to show it off to anybody who comes over. Well, all is well with us!! Here are some photos.

Big boy bed

2008-06-04T10:45:00.000-07:00

So Cade and I decided the other night to go and look at beds for C.J. just to look so we had an idea when baby comes and he needs a bigger bed. So we went to R.C. Willey's and we went to the kid area of beds and C.J saw this bed and was so excited he jumped up on the bed and laid there for 10 minutes. It was so cute. So Cade and I decided that maybe he is ready now for the bed so we went ahead and got it. He has slept on it the last two night and really has done pretty good. He just loves the bed. He is so into the movies Cars that it is so cute. So he thinks his bed is pretty cool. He wants to show everyone his bed. I can't believe that my baby is getting so big.

Working in the Yard

2008-05-19T07:40:00.000-07:00

So C.J. LOVES to being outside working in the yard with his daddy. He really loves to help mowing the yard. Cade usually puts him in a back pack on his back, but this Saturday we got C.J. lawn mower out and he followed right behind Cade and copied everything he did. It was the cutest thing ever. He didn't want to stop. He just loves being a boy with his daddy.

The Sweetest Thing!!

2008-04-23T09:50:00.001-07:00

So this morning I was lying on the couch with C.J. watching his shows I'm still in my pj and the doorbell rings so I go into my room and grab a sweatshirt and go to the door. There was this lady hold a dose of roses and she hands it to me. I said thank you and C.J. was like WOW. So I close the door and take them into the kitchen to see who they were from. My wonderful hubby had sent me flowers just because he loves me. It made my day. I had the biggest smile on my face. What a good way to start the day. I love him so much and I'm so grateful to be married to him. Thanks babe!!!!

Sick Sick Sick

2008-04-15T12:47:00.000-07:00

Well, I haven't updated in a while, but I have a very good reason. I have been so nauseated and vomiting and very tired due to the fact that I'm 8 1/2 weeks pregnant. :) Lets just say that I was not sick at all with C.J. so this is all new to me and I can't wait for this to past. We are very excited. I go to the doctor next week so I will know for sure when my due date is. I thinking I'm due around November 22. Well, that is my update for now hopefully I will feel better to post more later.

Easter Egg Hunt

2008-03-24T07:20:00.000-07:00

So Saturday morning we went to my dad's for an Easter egg hunt and breakfast. C.J. had so much fun. Then in the afternoon we went to Grandpa Coltrin's house to do another one. By now C.J. was a pro and had a ton of fun. It was a great day spending time with family. Then on Easter day Sunday my family all got together and had a Easter dinner at my sister Robyn's house. It was fun. The kids played outside for a while. The adults played some WII and Rock Band. It was nice and a fun day!! Here are some pictures of C.J. doing his Easter egg hunt.

The BEST Mom Ever!!

2008-03-06T17:19:00.000-08:00

Well, today is my moms b-day. She was such a great lady. I'm so lucky to have her as my mom. She was fun to be around. She was loving, kinda, thoughtful, sweet, funny, beautiful, great grandma & mom, spiritual, and just a great person. Her family was everything to her. We sure do miss her a ton, but know that she is in a better place. We lost her on June 29, 2003 to A.L.S. I never once her heard complain. She was a great example. I could go on, but I just wanted everyone to know how much I love her and what a great example she was to me and I hope I can be a good mother like her and am proud to be her daughter. I sure hope I have made her proud. God be with us til we meet again. I Love You MOM!!!

So C.J. is really silly. He has to have things lined up. So today I came out into the living room from my room and he had some of his cars all lined up and watching his show. It was so cute. So I got the camera and took a picture. He is so funny he is so into cars right now. He is such a boy and a good little helper. I just love him so much!!

Him and Jordon were so funny to watch they had a ball. I'm so glad my sister told me about this and got us tickets. If they come agian I will for sure get tickets again. Uncle Bruce was so awesome and bought C.J. and Jordon these wands that they loved so much. Thanks again Bruce that is all C.J. is playing with today! Your awesome! It was a great night.

Silly Boy!!!

2008-01-22T11:53:00.000-08:00

So the other night C.J. was being silly with his dad. He wanted his shirt to be his pants and thought it was the coolest thing ever. So here is a picture of that. It was pretty funny watching the two of them be silly.

Turning off and on the lights. He loves to do this. It drives me crazy at night when we want the light on and he thinks it needs to be off so he turns it off. But he is just so cute so it doesn't really bother me that much!!!

Happy Birthday Hubby!!!

2008-01-06T13:28:00.000-08:00

Today is Cade birthday and I hope he has a wonderful day. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who is the greatest dad ever. He is such a handyman and so good with C.J. I sure do love him so much and am so glad that he is my eternal companion. Happy birthday!! Love ya :)

Christmas Day!!

2007-12-27T12:39:00.000-08:00

So happy to open presents

C.J. loves to get into boxes and he wanted in this one. Silly boy!!

Christmas day C.J. was up at 7 am. So we opened gifts and had to hurry and get ready to go to Grandpa Coltrin's. We had fun at grandpa's house. C.J. was in heaven with all of his big cousin. Here are some pictures of Christmas day!! We had such a wonderful Christmas this year. We have been truly blessed this year!!

Christmas Eve!

2007-12-27T12:24:00.000-08:00

Here is what the garage looked like!! :)

Here is some of the family rocking out!

Here is Kamila opening the gift that we gave her. We are so glad that she was here this Christmas. She is such a sweet young lady and we love her so much!! We are so glad to have her a part of our family!!

More rocking out!!

This year we had Christmas Eve at our house. It was a lot of fun this year. We all ate out in our garage. We had a heater in there. Then after dinner we played some Rock Band. Robyn and Bruce brought over their Xbox360 and the family rocked out. It was a lot of fun. We had a great time. After the family left Cade and I let C.J. open one gift that he wanted too. He had such a great time. Here are some pictures of Christmas Even night.

Christmas Outfit

2007-12-23T21:37:00.000-08:00

Here is C.J. already for church in his cute Christmas outfit. He looks so handsome. I love it. :)

Baby Sitting!!

2007-12-23T21:29:00.000-08:00

So Friday night we baby sat Daigen for Dan and Cala. C.J. and Daigen were having so much fun. They played so well together. I would have to say one of the best times they have played together. Well, we found this Santa hat that we got for C.J. last year and of course it didn't fit C.J. head this year so we put it on Daigen head. It was so funny. He thought he was so cool with it on. So we stripped him naked and him and C.J. went crazy. After a while they calmed down and watched some of their favorite shows. Here are a couple of pictures of them.

Christmas Lights

2007-12-05T11:56:00.000-08:00

Here is our house with lights. Cade thinks he needs more lights!! He did a really good job this year. It was hard to fit the whole house in the picture. So here is the best picture I could get.

Holidays

2007-11-29T13:27:00.000-08:00

Well, Thanksgiving was good this year. We spent the whole day with Cade's family. We went to his dad's house which is in Melba, Idaho it is like 45 minutes away. Not to bad. I decided that this year we would spend the whole day with his family because it just gets all crazy going to one house and have to hurry to get to the other one and since all, but one of my siblings went to their in-laws I thought it was a good year to do that. So we have decided that every other year we will go to the other house. So next year will be with my family. It is just nicer that way. We don't have to worry about that for Christmas because we spend Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with Cade's family. So that is nice. Then my birthday was on Tuesday the 27th and it was a great birthday. C.J. was a very good boy for mommy. So that makes me happy. Cade took me out to dinner and got a babysitter. It was a great day. My husband is such a wonderful man and I'm so blessed to have him as my hubby. It is so crazy to think that the month is almost over. C.J. will be 20 months tomorrow. Time sure does fly by. He is such a silly little boy. He is a great kid and I love him so much!! On to the busy month of all, but it will be great!!! I do love Christmas!! I will have to take a picture of our house tonight, Cade has done a wonderful job doing our lights this year. So stay tune for pictures.

C.J. & Daigen and something new!!

2007-11-18T15:53:00.000-08:00

Well, first off I cut my hair short. Sorry this isn't the greatest picture, but it will work. I did it because I was sick of my hair and I wanted something new. The nice thing is that it doesn't take me very long to do my hair so I love that. I'm still getting use to short hair. It was something fun and new. I also have a cute picture of Daigen and C.J. they are playing so well together these days and it is so nice. C.J. really doesn't like Daigen touching him, but the other night Daigen got on with C.J. and C.J. thought it was pretty cool and I though this was a cute picture to share.

Happy Birthday Sis!!!

2007-11-12T10:17:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was my sister Robyn's birthday and I just wanted to tell her how much I love her and appreciate all that she does for me. I am so blessed with three wonderful sisters who I love so much and don't know what I would do without them. On Saturday we went to breakfast with my Dad and Ellie and my bro and my three sisters. It was such a blast. I'm so lucky to have such a close family and sibling who would do anything for eachother.
Hope you had a great day sis!! Love you!!! :)

Happy Halloween

So at first C.J. hated his costume, but then he was ok with it. Once we started going he was ok. We went to my dads and took some pictures there and to see grandma and grandpa. Then we also visited some other family and friends. Then we came home and C.J. did some homes in the neighborhood and he loved it so much. Cade brought him home and C.J. got so mad that Cade had to take him out and do some more. He was having a ball. He did so good. Here are some cute pictures of are little Scarecrow.

Traveling with a Child!! Yikes

2007-09-25T11:22:00.000-07:00

So I have decided that traveling with a little one makes a trip stressful and not as much fun, but hey that is ok because we are just glad we have a little one, but I think next time it will be just daddy and me. So we went to Oregon last week for my cousin wedding reception. We left last Wednesday at 5:50 pm and got there at 5:50 pm then we had to get a rental car to fit us three and Dan and Cala and Daigen plus all of our stuff. Talk about crazy. Then we had 1 1/2 drive to my cousin house where we were staying. We stayed with my cousin Lindsey and had so much fun. Thanks a bunch for letting us stay there. Her house is so beautiful and she was such a wonderful hostess. I'm sure she was glad to have her house back to normal and some peace and silents. Thursday we did some shopping at the outlet malls and then that night we hung out at Lindsey's house and she made a yummy dinner. Thanks. Friday we went to the Coast, but didn't really have that much time there, but it was fun. We did a little more shopping at the outlet mall there and then ate lunch at Mo's. Then friday night was my cousin Jenny's reception. C.J. was loving the music and just dancing away. We counldn't stay too long because Daigen and C.J. were getting sleepy. Saturday was just chilling with relatives and so was Sunday. Sunday night we headed up to Portland and stayed the night there and then we left Monday morning. C.J. did pretty well on the airplane ride there and back. It was just hard throughing him off his shedule. It was a fun trip, but I'm glad to be home. Here are some pictures!!

Awesome Night!!

2007-08-22T13:22:00.000-07:00

So last night was so awesome. I went to Josh Groban concert and it was so good. He is so talented it is amazing. He sounds just like he does on his Cd's. I went to his very first concert when he came here I believe it was four years ago and that one was really good, but now he is so comfortable on stage it was just amazing. The best part was when he went a way while one of the ladies was playing a solo song on her violin when she was done you heard him starting singing, but you couldn't see him then all of the sudden he was right behind Robyn and I and he walked down right by us and we got to touch his hand and I touched his arm too and he look right at us. It was so cool. We decided that we had the best seats in the house after that. It was so awesome. All around it was just a neat concert. It made me think how much fun my mom would have had seeing her Joshy perform. That is what she would call him. When she got sick that is all we ever listen to because she just loved his voice and music. What a good night it was!!!!

Over the weekend

2007-08-05T18:26:00.000-07:00

On Thursday we went to McCall with some couples and their families from our ward one of the couples own a cabin right on the lake. It was so awesome and we had a blast. Thanks Hibbert's you guys are awesome. The weather was so perfect and C.J. loved it so much there. I have never seen him so happy. Cade was like we need to move to McCall because he was so happy and just loving running around everywhere and just enjoying the trip. The first night there he stayed up til 10:30 pm and he still would not go to bed. He was so cute this weekend. So we just played in the lake and Cade did some wakeboarding and had a blast doing that. I have a picture I will post it was so hard to get a good picture of him getting some good air because our camera is so slow at taking a picture, but I got a pretty good one. It was so nice to get away for the weekend and just relax. I so did not want to go home, but we had to come back to real life.

So we came home on Saturday and had to hurry to Cade's Aunt and Uncle's 50th Anniversary. That was pretty cool. Then on Sunday Robyn and Bruce has Sienna blessed and then we had a family lunch in after. So it was a fun and eventful weekend. Something to write about finally. :)

Jordon's B-day party

2007-07-18T19:51:00.000-07:00

Today is Jordon's birthday so Robyn and Bruce through her a birthday party at Chucky Cheese and C.J. had so much fun there. He loved the pizza and birthday cake and all fun things to do there. Not much has been going on the last couple of days. Tomorrow we are going to Roar Springs for a little bit then Robyn is going to have a family BBQ at her house because my cousin and her family are in town so we are going to get together and spend some good old family time. So that should be fun. The last 2 weeks C.J. has decided that he doesn't really want to eat anything and it is really starting to get me really frustrated. I took him to the doctor for his 15 month check up on the 11th of July and the doctor said that some kids just become pick and don't want to eat at this age, but he looked at C.J. mouth and saw all the teeth that are trying to come in which include 4 molers 2 that have cut though and 2 that are trying and said well that is probably his problem. I really like his doctor he is a really good guy. All he will really eat is yogart in the morning and one before bed and sometimes some pudding and honeycombs through out the day. I have to force him to eat some kind of lunch and dinner and that is hard because he has learn to spit it out now so we just get a couple of bits in him. So I bought some pediasure to make sure he is getting all of his nutrition. So that has been really frustrating for me. He is just getting smaller and smaller to me. ( Help me!!!!) So hopefully he will start eating soon, but tonight he did really good and almost ate a whole piece of pizza and a little bit of cake!! Yippy!! Well, I have attached some pictures of tonight!!!

Over the weekend

2007-07-15T11:00:00.000-07:00

Yes, Robyn we all know you are cool with your music!!! :) Well, Friday night was date night for Cade and I. We try to go out one night of the weekend. My sister in law makes sure we do. So we try to. It is fun to spend one on one time with eachother. So we had Karlene come and babysit and we went out with Cade's brother and his wife. We went to dinner at Dickey's BBQ. It was a pretty good place. Then we went to Harry Potter. It was pretty good. So that was fun night. It was nice to get a break from little guy. He can just wear me down so a little break is always nice.
Saturday Robyn and I went to the gym and worked out. We worked pretty hard. I ran 5 miles and I was so proud of myself. We ran for 45 mins. So that is nine minutes a mile. Then I came home and got ready for the day. Then Cade and I and C.J. went on a little bike ride before Cade had to go and work for a little bit. Well, not really work, but work. You see Extreme Make Over is here in Middleton and doing a house for a couple there and Cade and his brother and a bunch of other guys went and installed the central vacuum and then they went to a Fight. So it was just little guy and me yesterday afternoon and night. So we went to Cala's for a while and C.J. and Daigen played for a while. Until it was C.J. bedtime then I went home and I put little guy to bed then it was my time. Oh I love my time. :) So not a bad weekend.

Robyn Talked me into it!!!

2007-07-12T17:10:00.000-07:00

Well, finally I have a blog thanks to Robyn!! Well, today Robyn and Cala and I and all of our kids went to Grandma Robison house. It was good to see her. We really need to be better at going and seeing her, but life is so crazy once you have kids.
It has been so hot here the last couple of days. Yesterday we went to the water park. Cala and Robyn and I try to go once a week since we all have passes.
Things have been going really well here. Cade is staying busy with work and I'm staying busy with C.J. all day. The kid has so much energy, but I love it. :) Robyn and I have been doing really good with working out. We are trying to lose are "baby fat" You think that I would have lost mine by now, but no suck luck. We are now getting up at 5:30 am Mon, Wed, Fri and going at night on Tue, and Thurs. and sometimes we workout on Saturday. Robyn has installed this cool program that tells you how many calories you eat and burn. So lets hope this works!!! :)
