5 years of love baby.....

Happy Anniversary to us:)

I cant beleive it has been five years ago yesterday that I married this man. We have done so much these last five years. Lived in another country together, moved 1000 times, bought our first house, had 1.9 of the cutest boys you have ever seen, cried, laughed, and fell more in love everyday. I know that is cheesy but I really do love him more and more everyday. I cant imagine an individual who treats there wife, children, and everyone else for that matter better than this boy Jason Earl. He is truly ONE OF A KIND. Six years ago I was so unsure about him, maybe I just thought he was to good to be true, I think so. What you dont want to fight with me, you arent going to make me cry???? WHY NOT, thats what makes girls love boys:) Sure I was immature and unaware of what I really wanted or needed for that matter, but lucky for me I decided it was ok:) Now I just might be the luckiest girl alive to have him all to myself. He is the ultilmate example of a LOVING SON, HUSBAND, and FATHER.

Of course I get annoyed at times, but I cant tell you what about because the things that annoy me are so trivial that I will just make myself look completely ridiculous:) OK so I will just name a few. Sometimes he forgets to water the plant that is hard to get to when you are fat and prego, he forgets to close the shower curtain when he is done, he comes home later than I wanted him to from work, he says yes to people who ask for his help in church when I want to go home and take a nap, he wants to do every career you can think of and has taken classes for about each of them as well:) He always gets the couches dusty when he comes home from work and wrestles Cohen before he changes his clothes, which I quickly wipe down with clorox wipes. When I am super annoyed he makes me hug him, and makes me pretend like I like it, SUPER BUGGY. Has about ten books in the bathroom and on his night stand that he is pretending to read. Oh ya and the best one, sometimes when he scratches my back (which is every night, seriously) he is too tired to do a good job and he just falls asleep, but he does say "sorry baby I'am just so tired."

SOOOO these are really my complaints, lame I know. Dont think less of me, just remember that I am married to the most amazing man and I everytime I say my prayers I am certain to let my Heavenly Father know how thankful I am that I crossed paths With Jason Aaron Earl, and he happened to fall in love with me:)

I love you babe, you are my best friend.

He took me to dinner at the roof, when we got to our table there were those beautiful roses you see behind my swollen backside:) So tricky.

After dinner we went and walked the temple grounds, breath taking as usual. Except for all the stares my large stomach was getting, and the man that yelled out from too far of a distance "So when are you due?" Hello, who are you and can you wait until we get closer so I dont have to yell back for everyone to hear:)

The dessert Buffet:) These were my choices from about 25 desserts, I was already so full and I didnt think I could even swallow. I felt kinda bad knowing I was just going to take a bite of each and waste the rest, Jay mentioned for the price you pay to eat there they should send you home with a whole cake anyway. Even are waiter commented on my selection. The best part is I used the dinner plate to get mine, the dessert plate was a third of the size, room for only one or two things:)

Jason had his hand on his hip quoting some scriptue that made him sound like a ruler. He is so handsome:)

Oh and did I mention that he came home from work at noon and drove me to Draper to get my pregnancy spa treatment while he took Cohen to some random near by stores for entertainment while mommy was being pampered:) It was amazing. The day was wonderful.

The funny thing is we didnt take Cohen to dinner and I was a little nervous. Jay leaves for work everyday but I am with that little stinker 24/7 so when it comes time for me to leave him (which never happens) I get really nervous. Jay told me I could bring him if I wanted. I am really glad I left him and was able to just spend a couple hours with Jay. The best part was picking him up, I kept saying to Jay "I wonder who he will go to when we get there!" Well he loves Whitney's toy land (she has 2 of every toy ever made) and he just wanted to stay and play some more:). Thanks Whit for taking sucoh good care of my little guy.

So that was my anniversary. I reminded Jay when he was planning that I am almost having a baby so no fun hikes or crazy expectations from my rolly polly self:) He did what he does best and gave me another perfect day. LOVE YOU JAY.

Summer so far...

Well I would like to say that I just hate blogging, I could tell you a lie and promise you that I will be better, but I wont:) Life has been going fast, I am almost DUE to have our second sweet baby BOY. Last Monday I was dialated to a 1.5 and 60% effaced, so if the baby does not come by the 6th of August I am scheduled to be induced that day, HORRAY! We have had alot of fun this summer so here is a VERY LONG update of pictures:)

OREM Summer Fest

Cohen absolutly loved all of the rides and was not scared to do anything

His latest cheese!

FARM COUNTRY at Thanksgiving Point
We went to see all the stinky animals with Cohen's cousins and his grandma Earl.

Cohen with his cousins whom he loves to be around

Grandma taking him on his first pony ride, he just kept clapping and smiling, it was so cute.

SEVEN PEAKS BABY:)

Notice Cohen is running away from me AGAIN, poor lady didnt even know she was getting her picture taken:)

Ice cream, always makes Cohen and mommy feel so much better after swimming

LOTS and LOTS of corn on the cob.

I cant even let him see it before I cook it or he freaks out cause he does not understand why he cant eat it raw

4th of July

We had a pretty relaxing day, it was nice. We started out the day with the Provo parade

He just thinks everything is so great

Infact it was so great that he couldnt even help but fall asleep after it was over. Soo he got to ride in daddy's cart on the way back to the car.

Waiting for it to get dark. Cohen loves when the airplanes go by, he points and points and I think he thinks we cant see what he is seeing.

FORTS...

Lets just say that I told Jay i needed 20 minutes alone on the computer downstairs.... Well when I returend I saw this in the living room. I called out for the boys... Then Jay replied in a tired voice. Sooo what happened was Jay built this really great fort and then when he an Cohen were playing in it he fell asleep, so Cohen left him in there and he was upstairs playing in his room by himself:)

Potato bug anyone??

Cohen loves these little creatures, he tries to eat them. He grabs them and forces them to roll into a ball out of pure terror and then he attempts to get the tiny ball into his mouth before we can stop him:)

He has a liking for ants as well, but they are to fast for him and he just gets mad when he tries to catch them:)

Skateboarding with DAD.

One of my husbands MANY talents he is trying to rub off on Cohen. Cohen loves his Dad more than anything in this world, probably cause he does so many fun things with him. He cries every morning when he leaves for work and he nearly passes out from excitement when daddy pulls up everyday, honks, and waits for me to bring him out so he can sit on his lap while he parks his work trailer. Cohen would throw me under the bus at any moment to be with his DAD:) I cant complain, its quite nice that they enjoy eachother so much so I can have a break. He thinks that every truck that drives by during the day is Daddy and he yells for him out the window, but the trucks just keep on drivin.

SHOES???

I thought this obsession would come a little later, but everything seems to happen a little sooner in Cohen's world. He can even do my high heels on the carpet. Impecable balance. Jason hates when he chooses my shoes, I think it is funny.

Projects are never ending in this house, between school and having babies back to back the remodeling had taken a little longer than planned. We bought the house three years ago this October and we are still making changes. This is Jay and Cohen doing new sink and countertop for the half bath, Cohen will not let Jay work without him being right there. Lucky for him he fit right under daddy's work space and was completely content.

They were really thirsty after a hard day of work !

I love these two boys and cant wait to have another one.

My baby turned 1....We are in love with him:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO COHEN GREGORY EARL

Oh how time flys!

This little sweetie was born on May 3,2008 and has grown up ALL TO FAST.

We have truely enjoyed every minute we have had with Cohen, anyone who knows him, knows that he is full of personality and some of the greatest facial expressions you have ever seen. He is so happy and loves almost everyone. Right now his favorite things are his DAD, DAD, DAD, oh and did I mention that he absolutly loves his dad:) He seriously cant get enough of Jay but I cant either so go figure. He also loves milk, hotdogs, yogurt, chicken dinos, meatloaf, pancakes, bananas, oranges, and his new favorite is corn on the cob. He cant get enough of Jay's hats and sunglasses, it is a must that he wear Jay's hat the minute he gets a hold of it and he only wears it backwards. He loves to shower and tolerates the bath. He points to the door all day cause he loves to be outside and cries when I bring him in. He still loves moving the kitchen chairs around, which is extremely loud and annoying. He loves taking the plastic baggies and stringing them everywhere and un winding the plastic wrap and tinfoil. I eventually hid the toilet brush after trying to teach him that it is not something we drag around the house and stick in our mouth:) There are too many things that this monster does that makes me laugh and ant to scream at the same time. We are so lucky to have this giant spirit trapped in this little body with us everyday. Cohen we love you so much!

Here are some pictures from the day of celebration. ENJOY

Thank you everyone who came to celebrate Cohen's special day!

He loves all of his presents, although the ones from Grandma Linda and Grandma Nette have been the favorties so far:)

My 2 loves....

Jay and Cohen you are the greatest

Jay was so sweet to get me these flowers and he even wrote that they were from him and my little bub:)

Cohen received his first valentine from his dear friend Preston. He looks like he has won the jack pot. I know they should not have a ton of sugar but I had to give him a try.


Thouroughly enjoying the sickle



After a couple minutes of sucking I decided that was enough so I took it away. Not to pleased with his mama right now


So I decided it was too sad and I gave him a few more licks


And I attempted to pull it away for good:) He eventually forgot, he only cried for a breif moment but he cried so hard I had to blow in his face to make him take a breath:)

I gave the sucker to Jay and told him to throw it away, only to look at him a minute later and saw he was enjoying the sucker himself. I told him that was rude and if Cohen could not have it then he couldnt either!

Happy Valentines!

1,2,3,4????

I am pretty sure that will be the number of our family coming August:) Most of you know the shocking news already that we are having another baby. It came by suprise, I shed a few tears while Jay jumped up and down with Cohen in his arms shouting horray! I am now 14 weeks and anticipating the second semster, since all the books say it is the best. Cohen and the baby will be 1 year and three months apart. Cohen loves all babies and kids so I am sure he will fall in love with this one too. We are very blessed to be able to have another one and my excitment is showing up in little amounts and hopefully will be in full bloom before the baby comes:) I will be finished with school in April, thank heavens!

As far as Cohen goes he has a Dr. Appt tomorrow and I will post the stats. I dont have time to do pictures right now but here are a few of his new things he loves to do....

1. WALK, ya he is so funny when he walks around, being in the 1 percentile and starting right before he turned nine months just dosent look right for his size. he must be trying to prove that being small is no big deal:) This will guarantee at least two to three goose eggs and bruises on his forehead ALWAYS. As soon as one goes away he runs into something else. He has given himself a bloody lip twice now, the last time resulted in a rush to the kitchen and feeding him cold chocolate icecream to make the pain go away:)

2. DAD DAD DAD is all he ever says, occassionaly there is a mamamama in there somewhere but he totally says DAD all day long, it use to be dadadada but then he figured it out and it sounds quite cute. He is so vocal, annoying when your at church. Thats when I wish I could plug him up with a binki but then I realize I hate those things and I am glad he does too.

3. He loves to push the kitchen chairs on the floor to hear that horrible noise. He pushes them all around until the get stick in a corner (usually all of them end up in the same corner) and then he gets mad cause they wont move anymore:)

4. He is obssesed with food, any kind. It dosesnt matter how many times or how much food you have given him he always can take some more .

5.He tries to pull his own ears, fingers, and hair out. Usually when he starts to get tired he tries to pull himself apart.

6. He is still the sweetest and cutest thing in the world, evertime the door opens he just races to get there and cant wait to see who has come to visit him. He loves strangers, he thinks everyone is his freind and if they come in the house without going strait to him he gets upset. He is so happy most of the time and he entertains himself alot of the day. I hope that his perfectness will rub off on the new one:)
