We went to visit the city Jay and I met in......Fairbanks. We took thekids and went to China hot springs. My brother and his beautiful familycame to visit. Russ is now a daddy to two little princess's. I luv Jendearly and am so happy to have her in our family. I would not want itany other way, Jen is just beautiful on the out side like you all cantell and on the inside. I wish every sister in law could have a greatrelation ship with their brothers wife's like I have with Jen. Oh wellI guess not everyone can except others. Well we had a great time it wasfunny Jen walks into the hotel room, gets the baby out of the car seatand hands Hazel to me saying I know you have been waiting for thismoment. Lol she know what I wanted....lol. Jazzie even got to holdHazel and she enjoyed playing with jade the older girl. It was funny towatch how my two kids would never go to Russ, they would go to Jenn butnever Russ but with him having kids my two were able to have fun withtheir uncle. He chased them around really crazy and worn them out andthanks for that Russ cuz they slept really good. Nothing else new here.Just seeing when the snow will fall. We have not had any snow yet nit's very unusual for Alaska.

Easter

Kids wanted to color some eggs so that the Easter bunny can come over and leave them baskets:)
I just wanted to share the cute pictures of my kids and my nieces and nephews. We enjoy having them here and spend such wonderful holidays with them, there is also some pictures of the kids and their baskets and toys.

Our new puppie

We wanted to get a puppy for a while than we decided that not till I become a stay at home mom.....well that did not happen on Easter Day. Galina and I went to Freddy's to get some gas and we took Jazzie with us. While we were getting gas we noticed someone sitting in the back of the truck holding the puppies so we walked over there and Jazzie fell in love with puppy and so I took a picture and texted the picture to Jayson and with the way her face was lit up papa could not say no! So we now have q-tip, 7 weeks old and he is a molteese and poodle mix, we love him so much

Our beautiful Babies!!!!

Here are a few Pictures that were taken at the JCPenny Portrait. Our little princess is two months old adn growing fast. She is very chunky and is wearing three month old clothes. She is smiling and agooing, Jasmyne is very much like her brother, she looks like him and loves to be held by her big brother who is always very soft with her. We are very happy to have them both and they are a blessing in our life, they make it so hard for me to go to work. By the time I get to work I am ready to turn around and come home to give them love and kisses. The only reason why I don't is because I know they are home with their daddy. I started to work at Liberty Tax, it is nice cuz its like accross from our home so I know I am not too far away from my pumpkins. Jayson is still loving his job and is learning new things every day. The weather here is not all that bad, not snowing but cold. I am looking forward to the spring so we can find a different place to rent and that has a playground in the area....its hard to have a little two year old kept indoor all the time....he is doing pretty good though. Well thats about all thats new here with us. Enjoy the wonderful pictures of the little munchkins.

Munchkin taking a nap with Cousin & eating tomatos out of the box

Here are a few cute pictures of my Nephew Richard Jr and Munchkin. Munchkin decided he wanted out of his crib but was not done with his nap so we put him next to Little Richard Jr. And they slept there for a while then they decided to wake up and go through our files and both came out with stuff to shred. Munchkin wakes up and goes to the shredding machine right away so he taught Lil Richard Jr. the same thing.
Well a few new things going on here in Alaska... One is yesterday the princess decided to come so I started with contractions ended up at the doctors office which then went to the ER, I was dilated to 3 centimeters and contractions where coming and they could not stop them....at the end the doctor gave me a shot to stop the contractions or slow them down and put me on bed rest. We have an appointment on Monday and we will see what happens from there. Jayson is going to work everyday with the thought that I might call him early. So that is the update on our life...I think the little one wants to come and play with Daddy and Munchkin...she always kicks and does somersaults when she feels or hears them. Well the next couple of days Jayson is going to get all of our stuff ready for her and wash the clothes and prepare our bags just in case she doesn't want to be obedient and come out. So grandparents you might have an extra little one here soon. I hope not before the end of October cuz I want to enjoy October and it gives me more time to get ready for her. OK gotta go.

Mama's Vegetable Boy

Munchkin Choosing Okras over candy, I guess when you don't force them to eat nothing but vegetables and healthy and don't hide candy away from them they end up choosing what they like themselves....And trust me I am still surprised how much he loves corn, peas and okras. Yesterday I gave him a m&m for going to the potty like a big boy, he comes running into the living room, sees me drinking water, puts the candy down and runs towards me to get water...that candy laid there till I picked it up and ate it my self. Our Pediatrician says to let him choose the amount of food he eats due to it will help him regulate himself when he is full and stop eating and to give him good food, but I think we don't have to worry about munchkin much...he opens the fridge door and asks for vegetables or takes you to the pantry room and points to the cans...man am I happy to not have to fight him...starting early was a good idea.... Now I know What to do with the next peanut....I don't have to worry....Munchkin will show an example to her on how to eat.

Munchkin and Richard Jr. Having fun.

Munchkin and Richard being good boys and sitting there talking to each other in their own language and some how they seem to understand each other and I have no idea what was said here but I look over and they are laughing....They must have a joke or something that they keep between themselves...it is so cute...can't you tell they are relatives...some people even ask me if they are twins.....Lol

Here is a picture of them playing with their choo choo train that Munchkins Grandma Budgett gave him for Christmas on year. They have not gotten tired of it yet...What a surprise.


Munchkin and Papa taking a nap together....they both look like they worked so hard and they need a nap in order to reboot their energy to keep working the rest of the day...HA HA HA. All they did that day was play, play and play some more and mama cooked and cooked and cooked the baby some more...still have 45 days left of cooking to do. We had a doctors appointment on Tuesday and the doctor said I have gained only 8 pounds.... I am so happy cuz I will loose more after the delivery and I can be my normal weight with out a work out or at least I won't have to do the hard work out.
With munchkin I gained like 35 to 40 pounds so I am happy to be not gaining as much weight. The doctor said that I am very healthy and my body is using the stored body fat that I had and that the baby is healthy as well. So we should be welcoming a new little princess or Papa's peanut as Jayson has been calling her (even though she is like the size of a small watermelon) like around Thanksgiving.
I also was told to take prilosec to help my indigestion so now I have to say I am very much enjoying this pregnancy and feeling her kicks and punches and once in a while I will feel her little butt stretching my side. So no more throwing up or being in much pain....I might be able to do this again...maybe....in five years.
I am ready to go back to work or school.

Munchkins Sleepover!!!!!

Jayson and I have been watching my sisters boy who is like five months older than my son and we have been having fun having him over cuz it gives Munchkin someone to play with and gives me time to do something around the house and not be followed by my Munchkin asking for my attention. Well Jayson loves to read to the boys so here is a picture I took while he was reading a book to them. Richard Jr and Munchkin get along pretty well and do the funniest stuff together and when one gets into something he shouldn't the other follows so I never now who to put on time out...LOL
Well that is about it for the news on our lives here in Anchorage. The weather here is lovely...at least for me it is.... in the forty's and the air is so fresh, I enjoy walking outside and smelling the green pine trees and feel the crisp, clean Autumn wind...just wonderful....


Munchkin of course sitting there looking cute and innocent....which he claims to be all the time.....Defiantly takes after his father.....pure and innocent.


You also can tell that Jayson enjoyed their company cuz you can see them scratching his head and he is enjoying it....he actually dosed off and I had a hard time getting him into bed. They are just so cute...we miss you guys already.

Munchkin and my youngest niece laying on their tummy's watching cartoons. While the others sat around them, My nieces are just odorable....I wish the boys where able to come over too.


Munchkin enjoying his sleepover with his cousins. They just all sat there and watched cartoons all night. It was so nice having you guys over and see how well you were entertaining munchkin.

Update on our Pregnancy and life.

Here are a few pictures of us here in Alaska, People have been asking me to post some pictures of our pregnancy and what I look so here they are. We are getting ready to go to a babyshower for on of Jayson's co-workers wife....they are expecting a girl on October 6th so we took our Nephew...my sisters boy...lil Richard, which I have been watching lately, its kinda nice to have a play mate for our son and its a family member and plus these boys are 5 months apart so it is good for them to hang.
Well we went to the shower and since I had my nicer clothes on and my hair done I asked Jay to take a picture of me and of course the boys had to be in it so you get to see the two munchkins and me and the boota belly. The pregnancy is going well and we have ten weeks to go so we are really trying to get ready for this day as much as we can. She is really kicking and loves to kick Jayson when he touches her or lays on my tummy to listen to her....she really loves to tell daddy storys, the other day she stuck out her foot reallyout that it hurt me but it was nice to have Jayson and I feel her little foot. She also loves to kick Munchkin when I try to put him to bed but ofcourse he doesn't care he still just cuddles up to me and lays there like who cares...nothing is coming between him and mama. There is a picture of Jayson and the boys cuz they decided to to to him and pose so I took a picture of them too. Munchkin is in the green basket that we have for extra towels in the bathroom...he likes to go and play in it and wait for me till I get ready to go where ever we are going....this kid is so cute and he knows it too and we are going to have a problem with that cus he thinks he can get away from everything he wants cus he is too cute....having the two boys here they try to play that card pretty often...its kinda cute though. Well what else is new here??????? Let me think.....Jayson loves his job and he is enjoying it very much, We went to Delta to visit my parents over Labor day and my parents gave us a fixer uper car to have so I can have a car and be able to go to appointments and not have to wake up at 5 am just to take Jay to work adn have a car. Well I think thats about it for our update for this week....bye.

The original Choo Choo Train Pictures.

Here are some pictures that was soppose to be on the other blog posting but I was haveing a hard time to get them to load so I had to do one at a time. We took Sylvia's and Poli's two girls with us to the Centralia Kids Day Train Ride and we had a blast. It was pretty old school but I have to say the Train ride felt really good that day due to it was really hot and it was nice to get some air blowing in your face. The other two picures are of munchkin opening his two weeks early birthday presents from Grandma and Grandpa Budgett. He loves his toys and his back pack. A few other pictures of munchkin enjoying his ride up to Alaska...just chillin there and enjoying the pretty view. The weather through the whole trip was really nice and we were able to enjoy it and see some wild animals like Buffalo. One of the pictures is of munchkin getting into the Bathroom sink and playing in the water and one of Jayson enjoying the Couch Aunt Tami gave us....he sleeps on it all the time. He is so cute....just chillin after work. I got about another year or year and a half before I can do that... I can't picture myself doing that with two kids one in his twos and the other one brand new and demanding to be fed and her diaper changed...I think I might have to call Amanda and get the blog addresses so I can save on Diapers and wipes. We almost are done with potty training munchkin so hopefully one one set of diapers to buy soon.
More pictures to come later of our days off and of my belly growing bigger and bigger.... This one is way out I am carrying her per Jays explanation is " Soccer Ball Style" And Munchkin was "Football Style" so he was side to side and this one just out there...you can't tell I am pregnant from the back with this one and with munchkin you could because he was side to side. Well thats about it see you all soon again.
