LIFE IS SO BUSY!!!

My Kids are growing like weeds!!
September:
We had Draker blessed the first Sunday of the month. It was so sweet Derek did an amazing job doing the blessing. We are truly blessed to have him as father and husband. I know I don't tell him enough but he is an awesome daddy and provider for our lil family. September also brought my 20th birthday Derek can no longer say that I am acting like a teenager. It also brought our 1 year anniversary of going through the Temple. September also brought the fair, we only went one day that was Saturday and then kinnda forgot about the fair, we only took J cause Draker was kinnda under the weather so my mom took him for a few hours. J hated it which suprised us cause she loves animals and what not and she showed no intrest. She kept sayin baby gama baby gama, she really loves her brother and missed him. Jenntry is becoming so smart.
October:
October has brought lots of sickness around us, but luckily we have not had it in our home, THANK GOODNESS.
We have attended football games for all of my lil brothers and cousins, GO JETS, my brother Tucker and cousin Trevan play for the Blackfoot jets and this last Saturday made it to the mini dome, they spanked the other team, good job guys we are proud of you. My other brother Treyton placed 3 in the season so good job to him, he is very small for being 13 so I am so proud of him for going out there and playing with kids that are sometimes 3x his size. My other brother Tayson played for the fifth grade Snake River Ravens, he played very well and their team did so very well. My cousin Boeden is in fourth grade but had the opportunity to play on a 5th grade team and he did very well. My other brother Tanner is not of age to play yet, but he was a great side line encourager. Jenntry loved watching the boys play. My little brother Treyton just started wrestling for the Snake River Jr. High wrestling team, he has so far pinned all of the kids he has wrestled he is so far undefeated this season, and YES he does have ppl to wrestle he has pinned all 5 guys, he is weigh in at 65 sometimes 70. I am so proud of him, GO TREY! The other day I took Jenntry and Draker to watch a home match and they were warming up J saw Trey and was clapping her hand yelling Doe Tray Doe Tray. She apsoulutly loves her Uncles, I guess there are some benifits to having younger brothers they make great playmates for Jenntry. And we were able to attend Blaklee's Blessing.
Hunting Season:
Derek got to go hunting this year which he was very excited about, the last two years we just haven't had the money, so he was way stoked. He went bow hunting in September and got within 30 yard of a six by six bull elk, however there was a calf in the way and Derek was unable to get a shot. General Deer season has come and gone and Derek was unable to make it out, but that's okay cause he drew on a late buck hunt so he will be going out next week or the week after I am not sure.
What's up at our Home:
Our home has been crazy crazy. We are in the process of buying a home, that is a headache in and of itself. Derek is working pump service, I am working mary kay and still babysitting, We are starting Christmas, how depressing it's October and we are getting ready for Christmas. Halloween is approching and we still don't have costumes for our kids. I love Halloween so Im super excited.
Draker:
Draker is growing like a weed at his appt. in September he was weighing almost 11 lbs. I bet he is weighing in at close to 14 he is so big, way different then Jenntry. He is full of smiles and giggles, Jenntry was sober face. He is so fun you just look at him and he gets all smiley. He is so so so tall in comparison. He loves to eat and is already eating 6 oz. bottle's at a time, it's crazy. He is sleeping through most of the night he wakes up around 6:30 wants to eat then goes back to bed for sometime. I am truly lucky with this one as well as my other one. He hates his bum being changed, but also hates being even a little wet. He has a love/hate relation ship with taking baths. He loves when his sister is near and especially loves watchin her dance to flo rida boots with fur song, he kicks his feet and waves his hands and giggles like no tomorrow. He sucks on his hands like crazy, but that is because he is teething. Next to my husband he is the most important man in my life. He brings great joy to my life as well as my family. We are luck to have this sweet spirt in our home.
Jenntry:
Jenntry is growing like a weed, she is no longer our baby J but our very big and bossy girl. She has a mind of her own and she tests me every day, I am constantly counting to ten and asking is it really that big of deal and usually it is not. She has her own language however you can understand most of it if you pay close enough attention. Some of her talk goes like this:
Tow(cow) and it says "mooo"
Hosy(horsey) and it says "neenah"
puppy and it says "fuff fuff" ("ruff ruff")
titty(kitty) and it says "mow" ("meow")
tutty(Turkey) and it says, she sticks her tounge out and goes "bldweder bldweder"
( you get the picture)
She says
Mowr (more)
pees (Please)
tant ewe (Thank you)
escuse ewe (excuse you),
this is my favorite if you burp or tewt in front of her she will call you on it quicker then you can say it.
nak (snack)
she goes to our cupboard and says this so cute.
"NO NO" is her favorite
She points her finger at you and says "NO NO" Or "Don't" with the cutes serious face.
bubby brudder (baby brother)
there are many others but it could take up a hole page but those are some of our favorites. She has a love for animals, every morning she has to tell me tows side (cow outside) and then we have to look at them for about 10 min. She also loves babies, her baby and other babies as well where ever we go baby all the time. She hates mashed potatos for the most part and applesauce, but loves appies (apples). She is going through her picky stage and has also started her terrible two's, she has horribal PMS, no joke the most moody 20 month old I have ever met. I love her though and she makes me laugh. She loves to say prayers and says "men" really loud which means "Amen". She loves church and nursery we drop her off and she says bye and waves at us, but she isn't extremly social, she gets this from her father, and she is one of like three girls out of like 10 boys, and all of the girls fight over one doll when there are like twenty to choose from. Point proven. She has to give Draker kisses at random times and has to feed him or she throws a huge fit. She doesn't like when other kids bug or hold Draker, the other day full sentence, tayee ake bubby, (Taylee wake baby), She was not happy. Taylee and Jenntry have a love/hate relationship they love and play well together one min and the next Taylee's biting Jenntry and Jenntry is pulling Her Hair, it's never ending. J has discover that TV is cool, she's never really cared for it before, Her favorite show is Spirit with that horse in it, she loves it and asks to watch it 10x a day I swear.


Derek with both of our adorable children before Draker's Blessing. Jenntry knew it was a special day and she stood at the door to the chapel and shook everyone's hand she felt very important and ran around thinkin she ruled the place.
Jenntry after church in just her pantilunes and tights. So cute.
Not my favorite pic but here's Draker and me just taking a pic, he truly doesn't look like me, he is the spitting image of Derek with a little hint of one of my brothers.
Jenntry and Draker before the blessing, this is my fav pic cause she is always laying her head on his head and talking softly to him, like he understands.
This was about them at 6 weeks, Draker has grown a ton since this pic he is much taller. He hits J at her shoulder, I think he is going to out grow her in the next year, but who knows.
I love my kids and I love my family!!
