i'm baaaaaaack!!

wow. it's been a loooooong time since i've last posted. here's a little catch up of what's been going on..


i'm getting married in 4 days!!!


i can't even believe that it's already here. it came so fast. there are just a few little things left to do {like get our marriage license :) because that would be awful if we forgot that} i can't express how grateful i am to be marrying ryan. he is the best man and daddy anyone could ever have. i.love.him


summer has been great!! we've gone to the pool, lagoon, late nights outside, snow shack's, bear lake, boating, running through the sprinklers, bbq's and so much more. {is it bad that i'm so ready for fall?!}


jagger is growing and getting huge!! he has 2 bottom teeth and the top front 2 are finally coming in! just yesterday {8/5} he did 2 little crawls! he can get from laying down to sitting up with no problem. he STILL isn't sleeping through the night :( poor me right??


kennedy starts kindergarten in just a couple weeks. i'm going to cry like a baby i'm sure. i can't believe my little best friend is that old already. time flies. she is SUCH a good kid. i love that she {almost} always uses her manners. it makes me one proud mamma


here are some pictures of what's been going on! enjoy :)

Buttload to Upload

i STILL can't find my computer cord to upload pictures and i have soooo many to upload, but i {HAVE}
to write about some things..
{jagger} little man. he has his FIRST TOOTH!! i couldn't even
believe it.
we woke up on monday, (5/3) and i always feel his lower gums,
because he just loves it, and i felt a tooth! i was so excited :)
and he now knows how to hold his own bottle!
he is definitely one impressive 5 month old
on a sadder note... he is getting tubes. i took him into an ear, nose
and throat specialist and he actually has another really bad ear infection
in his left ear :( no bueno. he is such a trooper, we had no idea he
was sick again. so the doctor said it would be best to get some tubes put in.
i am going to be a wreck i'm sure, but it's going to be the best thing for him.
{kennedy} she's almost done with preschool!! whoooo hoooo! she is definitely
excited for summer and her belated summer birthday party :)
we're going to have blow up water toys and jump houses at my parents for her
party and she is soo excited. it's going to be so fun.
i feel bad she never got a party on her actual birthday so this is
just her belated birthday party :)
pictures to come... promise! peace and {love}

Exhausted

this is the cutest picture of this little guy yet. can you imagine when you're so tired you just pass out on your mommy's lap??
so {CUTE}

5 down wayyyy too fast

even with a double ear infection he is still so happy. what a stud



my baby is 5 months old.
i can't even believe how fast time is going by. it seriously makes me so sad!! i can't imagine my life without this little man. he has made our lives so so much fun.
it's amazing to me that only knowing someone for 5 months you would do anything and everything for them. my kids are my life.
the poor little guy went to the doctor yesterday, and had {ANOTHER} double ear infection. no bueno.
it's the hardest thing seeing your little ones in pain. Since this is his 3rd one in 6 weeks we are going to see an ear nose and throat specialist on May 3rd. i'm hoping to get some good news with that doctor.
jagger is still so so happy and calm. he's not quite sleeping through the night {i don't think that kid ever wants to miss a meal} he laughs and laughs and LOVES to watch his big sister.
we are practicing sitting up and he is doing so good!! i'm pretty sure he'll have it by 6 months.
he weighs 19 pounds and 5 ounces. i know huge right??
and he has my legs :)
he hasn't started on foods yet. he doesn't like them as much as i thought he would! he just loves loves his bottle. he gets so excited when he sees it. freaken adorable. he drools like crazy. no teeth yet, just spit. he loves to spit. he thinks it's hilarious. it kinda is.
he hates binky's, which is defnitely a good thing! and when he's tired we can just
lay him down in his crib and he will fall asleep.
one of my favorite things he does is hum himself to sleep when we're driving.
it's the cutest thing ever.
i kiss him probably 4 thousand times a day. his cheeks are just so irresistable. he is delish!!
oh and ahhhhhh almost summer!! we all here in this house cannot, i mean cannot wait!! summer is the.best.



{delicious}

another one of his favorite things. eat his feet.



oh oh oh and when we went to vegas a while back, we got to meet these two lovelys. corey and chumlee from the tv show pawnstars. these guys are the only {kind of} famous people i've met. so needless to say i'm pretty proud of these pictures.




peace and love

i'm a little on the cranky side

how do things just disappear??
seriously. i just went to upload pictures to my computer,
and weird my cord is just gone.
kennedy doesn't know where it is
and neither does ryan.
sure i'm the last person to use it,
but i have NO idea where i put it last.
so if i could get my brain back that would be great.

i have a stye. in my eye

if any of you are friends with me on facebook, you are probably so sick of me complaining about this freaken syte.
i have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of this {disgusting}
bump.
i don't know what else to do.
i have tried the hot and cold compresses,
the tea bag,
the anti-biotic the doctor i work for so generouslly called in,
and it STILL won't go away.
maybe it's god's way of making me not be such a vain person??
whatever the reason is i would really really appreciate it if this bulge in
my eye would
JUST
GO
AWAY!!
Sincerely, me

p.s. any other suggestions would be more than greatly appreciated :)
