Seth is always hard at work every Saturday. He collects boulders every day. Then on Sat. he builds of his retaing walls. Seth you are so amazing and so strong. I am not much help these days when it comes to heavy lifting. All I can do is sit and visit :)

Rachel's Surprise B-Day

2012-02-12T12:00:00.000-08:00

Rachel was so surprised and had no idea it was happening. Thank you everyone for coming. It was a Purplicious Party. We all tried to wear purple and bring a purple food to share. I made an Oreo/Cookie Dough ice cream cake, with purple frosting. This was my first time making one, and it turned out great. Rachel had a to read us the story Purplicious, it was awesome. Happy Birthday Rachel we love you.

My Cutie Pies

2012-02-04T07:54:00.000-08:00

I just love all of these pics. Jordan is 4 and Atticus is 2 and they can be the best of friends or worst enemies. Of course I love when they are BFF. Seth came home and played with them for hours on the floor. Horse ride, tag, and ring around the rosies. That is currently Atticus' favorite game. I love watching my husband and kids play together. It is always so precious.

30 Weeks

2012-01-29T18:19:00.000-08:00

30 weeks and for sure feeling like I am already overdue. I thought my children were going to put me into early labor today in church. They were jumping all over my stomach today, it was so ridiculous they often forget I have a baby in there it's not just some big fat belly. Only a little longer and Brittan will grace us with her presence we are so excited.

Brittan's Outfit

2012-01-07T12:47:00.000-08:00

This is Brittan's outfit I made for her. She might wear it home from the hospital but we will see.

Atticus is 2

2012-01-07T12:46:00.000-08:00

Atticus is now 2!! His stats are Length 36 in 90th %tile, Weight 30 in 75th %tile, and Head I think 49.2 cm but I know 60th %tile. We started potty traing again, we went for three days. Not once in the potty and he Hates sitting on the potty or standing in front of it. I think we are going to have to wait a little longer with him. He does not want to have anything to do with the potty. I normally like to only have one baby in diapers, so I am hoping he will be ready in a few months.

26 Weeks

2012-01-01T17:44:00.000-08:00

26 Weeks and feeling HUUUUGE.

The New Year 2012

2012-01-01T17:41:00.000-08:00

We are headed to church, starting the new year off right. The family pics we took were hard to just choose one because everyone is looking different ways or not smiling in each one so I thought I would put them all and it would equal on great one.

Atticus Birthday

Adobe Ugly Sweater & Ward Party

2011-12-21T12:22:00.000-08:00

Adobe had a white elephant/ugly sweater party a work for the lunch break, so I made Seth wear this. He for sure ROCKED it. Thanks for looking so hot in an old lady Christmas sweater honey.

Our ward's Christmas party was a breakfast and a visit from Santa. it was great. This was Atticus' first time seeing Santa and he took right to him. Sat on his lap was giving him high fives, I couldn't believe it. Normally kids don't like Santa that young but he was all about it. I think because Santa is a guy and Atticus is a Mans Man.

Gingerbread Houses

2011-12-21T12:09:00.000-08:00

Broadwells

Seth's

Rachel's

Mean's

Tabor

Everybody

Jamie Means

We carried on the tradition of our dear friend Marlyse Keeton who is no longer with us, to have the annual gingerbread house making party. Don't worry Marlyse is not dead she has just moved on to Washington. We miss you Marlyse and Keeton family. We wish you were here celebrating with us. This year we invited our neighbors and had Rachel and Tabor came since they are close by. It was really fun and I love to see how creative people got. The Means made a castle like one and house. The Broadwells made a house. The Thaynes made an igloo and a camping ground. The Saragers made NY and a Frank Lloyd Wright house. Carol made a navaho hut. We all got really creative because I did not make the best hardening frosting. Marlyse was usually the one to do that, so I will have to get her recipe for next year. Thanks for coming everyone.

Carol's Birthday

2011-12-21T12:05:00.000-08:00

This year we bought Carol a massage, and it was so exciting to do that because she has never had a massage in her entire life. She loved it. We also got her new PJ's. It is such a joy having Carol in our lives. We all love her so much! (Especially Atticus) He really does choose her over me whenever she has a day off, it's really cute. Happy Birthday!

Cheetah nails

2011-12-21T12:00:00.001-08:00

My sister in-law Carissa taught me how to paint my nails like this, so this is my result. I love them and they really are not very hard to do.

Magnet make up board

2011-12-15T14:49:00.001-08:00

I saw something similar to this on pinterest and my sister in-law's blog and really wanted to it, so here is my attempt.

Seth's Birthday

2011-12-13T06:39:00.000-08:00

Yummy Breakfast and a few gifts

Atticus kept blowing out the candles before Seth could. We had to light them 4 times.

We have kinda been celebrating Seth's birthday all week. Carol took us out to dinner one night for his Birthday, he got to open one gift early and then on Sunday his actual birthday we had homemade choc cake and store bought ice cream. He opened up the presents from his parents and the rest from us. It was a great week. We love you Seth. Happy Birthday!

Adobe Christmas Party

2011-12-13T06:15:00.000-08:00

Seth's work had an 80's themed Christmas party, and it was so great. It was in Salt Lake at a place called the Rails, so we took our kids to Kailie's house in Salt Lake to be babysat. They had a blast watching movies, Atticus especially liked when they got to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle the old cartoons. It got him so riled up, he was trying to fight everyone. Jordan kept telling me man she has a lot of sisters in her house and all these people were always coming into her house, lol oh the collage life. So anyway back to our party, we arrived and were greeted by Mr. T, break dancers and the dilorian(sp?) the back to the future car. After you go in it two levels and 2 bars on each level. Around the entire dance floor downstairs is food tables catering every kind of food, Chinese, Mexican, American, I mean everything. Desert tables and guys walking around with candy trays, it was so good. Upstairs they had video games old and new and old school board games like candy land, operation, hungry hippos, connect four, etc. Throughout the night there was a costume contest, a dance contest, and a raffle. Tons of prizes and money given away. We didn't win anything but its ok because it was tons of fun. They had the best 80's cover band ever. They were so good we loved them. So the night was fun and fabulous.

A letter from Santa

2011-12-08T07:46:00.000-08:00

Today Jordan received a reply letter back from Santa. We are so excited we had to share.

$3 gift exchange/ ugly sweater party

2011-12-06T13:08:00.000-08:00

I love the little scarecrow head poking out on Kailie's sweater

He was stealing these candies all night he loved them

He also loved this bag that fit him perfectly in it. He would hide for a sec and then wiggle and jiggle and punch his out. The bag broke after a while and he was devastated and crying like he was just shot. Dad fixed it up with duck tape and saved the day. He is in the bag, just hard to tell.

We did the traditional Shillig $3 gift exchange but this year added you wear an ugly sweater and see who has the best one. They were all great u can vote. We had awesome gifts and great food.

Rachel's Wedding & Thanksgiving

2011-12-06T12:47:00.000-08:00

We had Thanksgiving dinner in the Basement, lots of room and great food.

Jordan caught in the act.

Our little Jew

Jordan hiding behind Rachel. I spy

So for Thanksgiving we had a ton of fun, My parents, Luke and his family, Kailie, Isaac, Elliana, Spencer, Christine, Fielding and Carissa came. Grandmother McConkie came Thanksgiving day and spent it with us. It was so great having a houseful, shopping, playing games, laser tagging, and attending Rachel's wedding. At Rachel's wedding she gave away to all the newborn babies these cute purple knitted hats, well there was an extra one so we put it on Atticus and it fit like a little yamaka. He loved of it. Of course he looked silly but it was funny. Jordan did not want to leave Rachel's side. You can even see her hiding behind them in pictures. She said I didn't want Rachel to get married because now Tabor is going to push her away from me. Her exact words. I don't know where she gets these things.

Christmas shirts

2011-12-04T10:25:00.001-08:00

I made these for our Christmas party tonight. Can't wait.

Sewing project

2011-12-01T23:34:00.001-08:00

I made these cute little shoes and a onesie to match. I made them for a friend for her baby shower, I can't wait to make some for Brittan.

21 weeks

2011-12-01T07:49:00.001-08:00

We had our big appointment yesterday and everything looks so good. The kids came and were running in and out of the room the hold time. Absolutely true when people say mothers have no privacy. The poor nurse had to keep bringing them in, I felt so bad it wasn't like I could just jump up and grab them. She was really nice and we r glad everything looks so good. The dr was cute and told Jordan that Brittan is going to be a cute one he can tell.

kids art

2011-11-29T17:53:00.000-08:00

This is Atticus' first nursery coloring picture. I always love to see what they do. This is a little art project Jordan did for me at school. They are so cute.

Lil cute frozen bundles

2011-11-14T20:36:00.001-08:00

I love how they look all bundled up. So sweet and precious.

Brittan's bed set I made for her

2011-11-08T13:15:00.000-08:00

I made this for Brittan so it would match Jordan's room. I got the same bed spread, but just a shade darker and cut out the middle, and made the blanket comforter from that. Then used the left overs to make a bumper. Added some ribbon and done. I love it, I think it turned out so cute.

18 weeks and update

2011-11-07T15:25:00.000-08:00

I am 18 weeks now and really starting to pop. It's funny how it really just happens in like 1 day for. So pregnancy wise I feel great. I am sick right now with a cold but so is the whole family. Jordan has croup, I think that is how you spell it? But we went to the Dr and he gave medicine t0 help. She is so funny she has a lil frog voice right now and is kinda loosing it and she always says, is that my voice, is that my voice. She is funny. Atticus just has a runny nose and small cough but he is for sure entering the terrible twos. He is so destructive and wants to beat up everyone and everything. We all sat and played with play-doh the other day and had lots of fun. This was Atticus' first time playing with it and he only tried to eat it once, and realized how sick it was. We had a fun little play time. I started a little co-op preschool group with these other ladies and we take turns teaching our kids things. It's ok I would rather let Jordan go to school but it is saving money, so that's the up side. I hope she takes to our lessons well. I think that is about it.

Jordan's Halloween

2011-11-02T12:13:00.000-07:00

Her friends we carpool with Clara, and Ayden.

Her preschool, can u believe how many kids!

Her teeth she got from her party

So I tried to get Jordan to be a Hula girl for her school Halloween party, but after she was in it she felt silly and wanted to be a dog instead. I drew on her nose and whisker and when I was done she said "MOM I need a big dot on my eye like that one dog." oh what a good idea I thought, so we put the dot/patch on her eye. She asked what her name was and I told her Patch. Of course right away she was in character. She was pretty much in character all day, even at school, and everyone was saying oh what a cute puppy so it made even more want to act like a dog. Today in school they sang 3 Halloween songs for us parents. Jordan was so cute, and knew most of the words. We went Trick or Treating with our next door neighbors, and had a lot of fun. Those pics will be coming soon. We took them on Carol's camera so we should be able to get them up soon.

Atticus' Pirate Costume And Jordan's Mermaid

2011-10-30T13:46:00.000-07:00

A pic to show you his tatoo

I love him in leggings and boots.

So this year I have been having a lot of fun making and putting together homemade costumes. I have been very proud of myself, now for another crafty person I am sure they think "oh this poor girl is terrible" but I am proud of myself and I think that is all that matters. So here is his pirate costume. I made the vest, cut the shirt and used the bottom material from another costume. Any way like I said before I am loving this Halloween. Oh and yeah this is what the kids were for Seth's Halloween work party. I don't know if this is what we are going to be again for Trick or Treating or not. We will see.

Pumpkin Carving 2011

2011-10-30T13:26:00.000-07:00

Rachel's spider web

Tabor's Zebra

My pumpkin face and that is suppose to be phineaus from a disney show the kids love but it is kinda hard to tell. I didn't even take a pic of my other one I don't think you could tell at all. It was the Hunger Games pin/symbol.

Seth's sweet Adobe A but it actually kinda looks like a pumpkin face. Way cool

This is just after Atticus put his hand in the pumpkin

We finally got to our pumpkin carving. Normally we do it a week earlier, but we have just been so busy. Rachel and Tabor got us the big pumpkins and we picked up the lil ones. I had a hard time this year carving, all of mine didn't turn out very well. This year Rachel provided blue gloves, so our hands didn't have to get all slimy and itchy. That is what happens to me they get all itchy. We had Atticus try to pull out the stuff but he did not like it one bit. We are so excited to go trick or treating in our new neighborhood. I guess it is suppose to be awesome, like everyone participates.

Adobe Halloween Horror Hoorah Party

2011-10-28T17:36:00.001-07:00

What a day! So before the families came, we had a company lunch and the results to the competition for what group did the best. Harry Potter, my group, actually won. It is the first time finance/accounting group has ever won. One of the managers went up to accept our $5000 prize for winning, and the senior VP said, "we want Harry." So I ran up there and had a duel with the manager and I beat him. It was pretty sweet.
So while we waited in line, there were exotic pets that these people brought around for people to see. Atticus loved the tarantula. He was not even afraid. They had a sweet live band, fresh cotton candy, popcorn, ice cream and drinks to enjoy. We had jugglers, and yo-yo guys.

So the first room below was themed Men in Black. They actually had carts for people to ride on and it followed a track. Everyone was given a nurf gun of sorts to shoot aliens as they came into view. The photo doesn't do it justice, but they had black lights and everything glowed. The aliens even moved around.
This area is from a movie where the pumpkins take over and kill the town. They had a village before and after shoots made of wood and everything. Looked really legit. The pumpkins pictured here would talk to you as you strolled past.
This area was Angry Birds. They had several room where you actually shot down the building and guys with. Jordan enjoyed this one.

This room was Adobe Farms. They had scary people to jump out at you, but Atticus didn't seem to care about them, Jordan was pretty afraid of them though.
This was an actually rope swing, and yes I rode on it:)

This room was done by the Execs, so oh course all of their costumes were purchased. The theme was Toy Story 3.
The midgets pictured below are hired from Las Vegas. They were pretty funny. The original owner of Omniture would hire them to be his Umpa Lumpa's. Last year since he was

not with the company any more, he hired them to picket outside of the Halloween Party. This year they just hired them to take photos with. Atticus has a funny look at them.
These alien midgets are the only people Jordan wanted to take a picture with. She turned down taking a picture with Barbie and Ken or even Lotso the bear.
This photo is the transformation to be able to get to Wonderland.
This Alice is Wonderland was great. All the bushes were rented from a local nursery. The music and atmosphere was just great.

So now we are at Harry Potter land. To get there you had to go to the train station and board at the platform 9 3/4. There is so much detail and so many areas, it's so hard to get even a glimpse of everything.

This is part of the Forbidden Forrest of Harry Potter.
This Quidditch Pitch is what my small group completed. The kids would pick up a broom and fly it through the room while playing Quidditch.

This area was holidays from around the room. The movie playing is the 3 Amigos. They had an actually performance of the 3 Amigos.
This area is story land, this picture is from, Where the Wild Things Are.

The only area that I really like that I didn't get any pictures of was the Zombie room. They had animatronics and it was like a real scare house. Atticus loved it, Jordan not so much.

We had a great time. I only get six extra tickets besides myself, so if someone wants to come next year, make sure to get your reservation in!

Harry Potter

2011-10-28T05:34:00.000-07:00

Seth had to be Harry Potter for work today, and when I went to the Halloween stores they were all out of Harry Potter stuff. Really like every store. Apparently everyone is going to be Harry. So I decided to use what we had and make our own. I used 2 ties to make the tie, printed out the seal on card stock paper then sewed it to denim then sewed to Seth's sweater, Seth found a stick in the back yard and stained it dark, and finally we found some party glasses at the party store that make your eyes kinda like magnifying glasses and popped those out and hooray our Harry Potter Costume. I love how he looks. I think he looks great. We are going to his work today to walk through his entire work. I guess Halloween is a really big deal for them, they go all out and decorate like crazy, everyone has a themed room hence Seth having to be Harry Potter. We will take lots of pics and show everyone. But also each room had a $2,500 budget and they spent 10K on candy!!!!!! So that is how great and crazy it is suppose to be.

16 weeks

2011-10-25T05:38:00.001-07:00

So we r so excited my Dr. took a peek for us and said he is pretty sure we r having a girl. So we will be having little Brittan Sarager. Jordan, Carol, and Atticus came with me. Jordan was so so excited when we found out. She was all smiles and saying yeah I get a little sister. We r so excited and at our official ultrasound still hope it is a girl. They said they r pretty sure but u never know.

Halloween Party

2011-10-23T11:13:00.000-07:00

So we had a Halloween party at my house last night, and it turned out so great. There was tons of goodies and people's costumes were great. The zombies (Kale, and Murto) won scariest costume. The man in black or wesley from Princess Bride (Mike) won coolest costume. Shay won funniest costume, she was a pregnant housewife. Most creative was Kailie, Marie Antoinette, and Best all around was our Friends the Daniels with their sweet Goth costumes. We played a pictionary/charades game and just had a ton of fun. Thanks everyone for coming. Oh and I just want to say I made Atticus' Trojan costume. I am so proud of myself and feel like such a crafty mom.

New Threads

2011-10-19T18:09:00.000-07:00

Atticus got a new suit and would not let me take a picture of him in it smiling. So I had to keep saying Atticus there is a bird look a bird. He really likes birds and always say aliliblili Bird. So kinda a gibberish and then bird its really cute actually. So here are all the results from the modeling.

Atticus

2011-10-19T17:59:00.000-07:00

He is all boy. I mean he is a little nut job. He is always trying to find someone or something to beat up. Poor Zeek and Jordan, they often fall to his reign of terror. I can't help but love how manly he is. At the same time he is so sweet and loving. He will randomly give you kisses and hugs. He loves Carol. He calls her Baby sometimes it is so cute. She spoils him to death well both kids, but he knows he can get away with things with her. He loves his buy toys, his tools, his transformer, and trucks. He loves his silky blanket Miriam made him. He is obsessed, he loves to snuggle with it. He is always saying my B my B that is what he calls it. He is talking a lot more now which is really fun. A funny little thing he does is whenever the beginning of a movie starts he starts getting really excited running around fist pumping and saying yeah yeah yeah. When we ask him a question and the answer is yes he always says yeah yeah. These are fun times he is changing so fast.

Jordan

2011-10-19T17:53:00.000-07:00

Jordan is 4 now and more like 14 everyday. She has so much fire in her little spirit it is amazing. She really loves school right now, and is getting better at listening to her teacher. She is really into Unicorns, and fake food right now. She loves to play with these two things. She has the best imagination I have ever witnessed. She can entertain herself for hours. She also wants to play with friends everyday. We try to play as often as we can but not too much. We don't want people to get burned out. Her favorite show right now is Disney's Phineas and Ferb. She is so funny when she watches. She always tries to sing the beginning song. She really loves life and is a very strong willed child, she is also as girlie as u can get, I love it.

MOM

2011-10-19T17:46:00.000-07:00

I am doing really well. This pregnancy at the beginning wasn't my favorite because I was a little sick but now I feel great. I don't remember having to pee so often, but Seth says yeah I for sure did with the others I just forgot :) I am still working out with a group from church and it is so great. I hope to able to continue throughout the entire pregnancy. I am taking Jordan out of preschool because we just can't really afford it right now and I am going to start a little Co-Op preschool with 2 other ladies. Jordan will be really sad to leave school, but hopefully she will like this too.

Dad

2011-10-19T17:42:00.000-07:00

Seth is doing really well in life. He started his MBA program online and is working hard everyday. He loves working at Adobe. He rides his bike 12 miles to a bus stop, catches the bus to Orem and then bikes a few more miles to work. He is so amazing!! When ever he has spare time he does projects around the house, like the basement, and all the yard work. He really is an awesome worker. I am so lucky and blessed to be married to him.

MOre Birthday

2011-10-19T17:29:00.001-07:00

Jordan's birthday was on Mon and we had the party on Tues, so for her actually birthday she got a mini cupcake for breakfast and was able to open one present. She was so excited about the present we got her. It was Princess Celstia my lil pony unicorn pegasus. She was so cute when she opened it. She said huuuuhhh I always have wanted this mom. So cute. She is going through a I love unicorn phase right now. Rachel made her mini cupcakes to take her school to celebrate. They were a big hit. So her are some more pics on her actual bday and some from tues party.

Sarager Visit

2011-10-19T17:22:00.000-07:00

The Saragers came into town and we were able to have a cousin sleepover while they were here. It was so much fun. My kids loved the baby and always wanted to help. They all got along really well and had a ton of fun. They all even cuddled with their blankies at the same time, super cute. Jordan did want Brigham's blankie because she use to have the same one, but it was getting old do I through it out. She didn't get why Brigham had her blankie. I had to explain that it was his and she now has a pink one instead of red. She did pretty good and was able to get over I think.

Cornbellys

2011-10-19T17:13:00.000-07:00

We went to Cornbelly's for Jordan's school field trip. It was a lot of fun. There was a lot to do. Jumping things, play grounds, hay ride, pig races, and much more. We had a great time.

School Pics and Birthday

2011-10-19T17:09:00.000-07:00

Phoenix AZ

2011-09-22T06:43:00.000-07:00

We went to AZ last week and had a great time. We went for Celeste's baby shower and Grandmother Sarager's birthday. Celeste's shower was great and so was Grandmother's birthday. While we were there we went on bike rides and the Zoo. The kids loved the Zoo. We actually so like all the animals. My favorite part was the baboons. The one was right up against the glass and he was just sitting there, I got up right to him and started glaring at him and raising my eye brows. All of a sudden he jumped at me like he was going to attack. Thank goodness for the glass. It totally made me jump back and scream. It was really funny actually. Before all of that happened everyone was taking pictures with the monkey. Seth kissed it and Atticus gave it a kiss and hug, Jordan was a little hesitant to even get that close to it. It was all really cute to see their different reactions. Well we are super thankful to everyone in AZ for making it a great stay.

The Babies

2011-09-18T08:56:00.000-07:00

First One

2011-09-18T08:47:00.000-07:00

This was the Very first one we took and the only one everyone was looking and smile cute. Except I of course don't like me in any of the family pics but what are you going to do. At least we have a picture.

Family Pics

2011-09-18T08:34:00.000-07:00

So This is our attempt of family pics not at a studio. It is so HARD to get the kids to cooperate.

Owls Game

2011-09-12T14:27:00.000-07:00

We had a fun family night out. We first picked up Seth from work, then went to Trafalga had a picnic did some mini golf and go carts. By the way Jordan did not want to ride the go carts because she thought they looked scary, but of course being the mean mom I forced her in the car with me. As soon as we got going she loved it. I knew she would and that's why I forced her. But anyway after that we went to the owls game. It was the last home game of the season and so we picked up a couple of souvenirs on sale. Seth got a Jersey, Jordan a hat and sweater and me a hat. We had a lot of fun, and we all really enjoyed ourselves.

Service Project Seth's Update

2011-09-12T14:24:00.000-07:00

I am so excited Spencer is going to Japan, now I will have someone to speak Japanese with:) I looked at some Nagoya Japan Mission web sites and it brought back a lot of good memories of when I was in Japan.

Last week me and Larkie participated in the "Live United" service activity, (I got a paid day off of work). We had breakfast at the BYU stadium, then went to an Elementary in Orem and panted hop-scotch and a big caterpillar, it was a lot of fun. I'm sure since Adobe employees got a paid day off for the activity, we had the biggest group there. The red heart next to Larkie was the kids favorite, the funny thing is that someone spilled red paint and we couldn't clean it up so Larkie decided to make a heart, and it was a hit.

We just started watching a show on Netflix called Pysch, pretty good. It reminds me a little of the Pretender, but with more subtle humor.

Jordan loves going to Preschool and is in a carpool group to get there. She just loves being around people.

We are so excited to go to AZ this week

First day of school (preschool)

2011-09-12T14:17:00.000-07:00

Jordan has been so excited to go to school for some time now, and she is finally there. We started in Curious Critters preschool, but then some of my friends suggested this other school, and if we went then we could all carpool. Perfect I thought, but I didn't realize their kids were in the 4 year old class and Jordan would be in the 3 year old class. I talked to the teacher and she said Jordan could be in the 4 year old class. We r so excited and hope it is good for her. She is pretty smart so I don't think she will have a problem. We wanted to do this just in case we need to start her in kindergarten next year. So she is now in little foot preschool every M W F for 2 hours. While she is at school Atticus and I are at the park doing BOOT CAMP WORKOUT!!

Our cute lil white blob

2011-08-29T14:51:00.000-07:00

So here is the first picture of the third little Sarager. The white blob is the baby. Everything looks great and my due date is April 7th, that is Celeste and Blake's anniversary, how fun. But they will probably take me a week early so maybe the 1st or something, we shall see.

18 month check up

2011-08-23T14:23:00.000-07:00

Atticus finally had his 18 month check up, it took us so long because he was sick, and I didn't want him to get shots while he was sick. So his stats for 18/ really almost 20 are: Height- 34 1/2 inches 95th%tile, Weight- 27 lbs 60th%tile, Head- 19 inches 60th%tile. He is a growing boy and super amazing. The things he loves to do are, beat people up, play with his tools, watch tv, play outside, attack Zeek, give hugs and kisses, and any other but thing you can think of he does it. Atticus James Sarager we love you crazy boy.

Yellowstone

2011-08-23T13:59:00.000-07:00

We went to Yellowstone National Park on Friday after I got off work early. We stayed at a camp site in a tent. Rachel and her boy friend came as well. Larkie didn't get any sleep that night:( The next day we drove the north loop of Yellowstone and didn't see any animals! I think it was too hot. When we got to the town on the North side we say about 20 Elk just chill'in in the shade by the buildings. So at least we saw them. Old Faithful was more impressive than I thought it would be. Then we drove back that night and got home by midnight, long-short trip. The kids loved the trip. Atticus was always trying to chase a bird or find one. Jordan was always trying to be only 1 inch away from Rachel. Poor Rachel, Jordan just loves her to death. All around we were glad we got to go and see beautiful Yellowstone.

Silly Jordan

2011-08-01T13:27:00.001-07:00

Jordan always wants me to take random pics of her and video on my phone. She thinks she is so funny and she really is. Here is her latest take a pic on your phone mom.

Trip to CA

2011-08-01T11:50:00.000-07:00

Our trip to CA was great. We drove down with my cousin Shay and her family, minus her husband and mine. On our way there we stopped at some Hot Springs in Meadow UT and went for a dip. It was really fun and the girls loved it. We stopped at her Aunts and Atticus found a drum set to bang on. He was going crazy on it. He loved it so much. We drove to Vegas and stayed a night there and swam and partied. We drove the rest of the way to CA on Tues. We visited Kohl and her new baby (super cute), went swimming, and went to a picnic with friends and family that night. We got home late and went right to bed. Wed we started the hard work. We introduced the kids to the Cows and Chickens. Atticus LOVED the cows and had no fear of them he was trying to get them and get them to lick him anyway we had to keep a close eye on him with the cows. He was actually afraid of the chickens so he didn't much care for them. Jordan on the other hand loved the chickens and always want to visit their cage and watch them peck and just loved them. The cows for her were just OK. My dad needed to go pay the hay guy and needed a car, but no car was available except Lukes, but his battery was dead. There was a car there that started but was not drivable so we decided to use that car to jump lukes. Of course we had no jumper cables. So just like hillbillies we used what we could. The boys cut the plug in cord off an old dryer and found another random electrical cord in the garage. We used the 3 prong part of the cord and its end that we stripped to expose the metal to connect black and black and the other cord stripped at both ends for the red and red. I had to hold them on one battery and Luke the other. We are lucky we are all still alive and didn't get electrocuted. After a few tries we finally got it started. WAHOOOO we are amazing. So after we took care of that we finished cleaning out the Garage that Luke had already been cleaning for a week. There was so much random junk in there that when we finally went to the dump it took us two loads in the biggest Uhaul truck available.(Thanks Kurt for getting us the Uhaul.) Thurs. we took out all the furniture in Elliana's room painted it (thanks Kurt for the paint) and replaced it with nicer furniture, and blinds. It looks pretty descent actually. Fri. we organized and cleaned and moved furniture out and into Isaac's room so he and William can share a room. Elli painted her new room (downstairs)good job elli. She got new bedding and lots of cute lil accessories for her room. We moved the baby grand piano out of the house and the big old screen TV out of the living room. Now there is a ton more room and is more functional. We moved an old table out of the dining room and put back the castle table that use to be in there. I have heard rumors that Kaylene is going to take on the project of refinishing the chairs that go with it. Good LUCK. That evening we loaded the Uhaul and took the first trip. Sat. we loaded the Uhaul once more and took the last load. A side note we sent Kurt home fri. night with our Mom's car so he wouldn't have to drive the Uhaul to and fro. That morning SAT. my dad had to drive the other functioning car to Bakersfield for some training or something so we were left with just the Uhaul and Luke's car that we needed to take to the shop. So we all loaded up in those cars and as we were got a phone call from a neighbor asking us to help him drive one of his cars to the shop. So I did that while the others went to the dump to unload. We met at the mechanics and were ready to drive down to Valencia to drop off the Uhaul and then hit the Beach and drive Luke to the airport. Well so we had my children, Luke, Elli, Mom, and me, obviously too many too all fit in the front of the Uhaul. So yes my children rode upfront with Uncle Luke in their car seats, and Elli, Mom, and I rode it the back. It was warm and dark. My Mom was not enjoying it but Elli and I were. We surfed for a lil while and then laid in the attic and took a nap. Once we got the Uhaul down to Valencia we swapped cars with Kurt and drove to the beach. My mom dropped me, Elli, and the kids off at the beach and drove Luke to the airport. After she picked us up at the beach we went to a picnic with family and went swimming then went home. Sun. we went to church, finished some paint touch ups in Elli's room, cleaned up the rest of the house packed and went to bed. Mon. Got up early drove to Valencia and started our drive home with Shay. We stopped at Charlie Browns and got too much sweets but they were good. Then the Hot springs again and this time we had goggles. We explored for a little and swam and then drove the rest of the way home. It was a long busy trip. It was really nice to be with family and do some service. It was especially great to go to the Beach. It was Jordans first time at the beach. She loved it. Also while on this vacation I taught Jordan how to use a swim noodle to swim. She is really terrified of getting her head in the water. But as soon as I got her use to the noodle she did great in all her swimming adventures. Good job Jordan. Thank you all to who made this trip possible and worked hard to help others while on this trip. I love you all. Oh and I pretty much looked scary the whole time I was there so I had to document in while at Wal-Mart. The Darker pics are when we are in the Uhaul. And Atticus and Isaac were matchy matchy for church. Cute boys.

Pregnant like a day

2011-07-29T09:51:00.001-07:00

Visiting Great Grandmother

2011-07-16T19:53:00.001-07:00

We went to SLC to visit Grandmother and go to an Army picnic. It was such a great visit. We fed baby ducks, watched the Joseph Smith movie in the Legacy theater, which was awesome. We then had a great time talking with Grandmother and learning more about her and church history. We went to the picnic where we made rockets and shot them off with an air compressor. The kids thought it was the coolest and so did we. We came home played at the new splash park, supported the local businesses, the pizza place and ice cream joint and are now ending our fabulous fun day. Jordan keeps telling me "mom we had a good day, today was really fun, I loves it."

blakes baptism

2011-07-12T07:30:00.001-07:00

Blake is Jordan's 1st cousin once removed. Jordan loves her and always wants her to only play with me,as jordan puts it. So at the baptism she had a break down that blake was paying attention to other children and not her. She also was having a breakdown because she (jordan) did not have her picture next to blakes on the display table. Also she was crying because she does not want to get baptized because she does not want to go under water. I will die is what she says. Poor girl it was a great day but not the best for Jordan.

Vegas reunion

2011-06-30T06:03:00.001-07:00

Vegas was so great. We played a ton of fun games, hung by the pool and just visited. It was the perfect weekend except there were people missing so that was a little sad but again all in all it was great. The kids loved playing with each other. This was the only pic I took because we had a designated pic taker. So I really didn't worry about getting good shots. Thanks everyone for vegas. Especially mom for awesome lodging.

Update

2011-06-22T06:38:00.000-07:00

We are all doing very well. Atticus had his second dental exam, sleeps in a big boy bed now, just a couple of weeks from being 18 months. He has transfered surprising well. He didn't even really cry. I think it helped that he was so tired he didn't care where he was. He also needs to sleep with his blankie which helps him. Miriam Howe my cousin made him a new silky blanket. He is obsessed with it. He went into nursery last week. He did really well. He just needed a ball and a toy that had teeth. He is super into growling with his animals, attacking people and things, warrior screaming, and all the boyish things you can think of. Jordan had a dental exam as well. She is pro the Drs. are always amazed at how well she does. Jordan loves her new zebra bed, but I still can't get her to sleep without a light. She went to her new sunbeam class, and when we asked how it was she said "so awesome mother". Are children are the most social little kids I have ever met. Seth and I are doing well. Loving our new house, we are fully unpacked. Rachel and I painted Atticus's room. I love it. Now we need to just do Jordan's room, which is going to be a project. We also turned in our impala and got a traverse. We LOVE it. now we can finally have people in our car when they visit.

Not so fun in HaWAII

2011-05-02T14:33:00.000-07:00

Poor Atticus has been really having a hard time adjusting his sleeping schedule. He is constantly upset and tired poor guy. I have never seen a child fight so hard to stay awake. Yesterday he seemed to be overly upset, so I decided to take him to the ER, because I thought he might have ear infections. Sure enough he has an ear infection in each ear. He also had a lot of wax, so they said we should flush it out. This video is them flushing out his ears. Poor Poor baby. He is a trooper and I love him so much. Sorry you had to go through this bud.
