The Project of the YEAR!!

Well it all started with my great idea of wanting to get the kids a play set for Easter. So Blair and I broke down and bought one. In order to get it all set up we were going to need to level "some" of the back yard. Upon doing so we both decided that we didn't like how our yard was set up and that while we were at it we will go ahead and re landscape our whole yard. So we did what any "sane" people would do and we tore up all of our grass and posted it on KSL for free, well with in seconds of hitting the submit button the phone was ringing off the hook. That day we had a group of neighbors come and haul away most of the grass. Well as almost all of our projects go we ran in to a few complications. First was the main water line. On the city side we knew for a long time that there was a leak. Well that leak because a small river without grass to keep it hidden. So Blair thought that it would be a good idea since we already had things torn up that we should go ahead and change the piping from the old nasty galvanized pipe to the more modern.Second we decided to add to our driveway. So we did that too.

Once we got all the wholes filled back in we had to start the leveling. WOW that was a job in its self. Lots of LONG hours went in to the leveling project. Remember this all started in March. In July we were finally able to get the play set up. Not do to any slack, Blair had to go to Florida for a month in April. Then when he got back he had to go to Camp Williams for Annual Training. We had to redo the entire sprinkling system, now in the spring we will put top soil in and grass. So this post and project is To Be Continued...

Welcome Back!

Believe it or not I am going to try and get back in to blogging again. I know it has been since the twins were born, but it has been a busy year. That also means that there is way to many things that have gone on since I last blogged so I am going to start fresh with the most recent things that I can remember.

Introducing Taylor and Bailey Jasperson

On November 15, 2009 at 6:32 and 6:34 am. we welcomed the newest little members to our family. Taylor was the first born weighing in at 5 lbs 13 oz and 16 1/2 inches long. Then came Bailey weighing in at 5 lbs 3 oz and 17 inches long.

I really don't know what time I went in to labor, but it woke me up at about 4:30 in the morning. I waited to wake Blair up till around 5:30 to make sure that it wasn't a false alarm. Bad IDEA. I didn't thing that I was going to make it all the way to Provo. It felt like the longest drive of my life. By the time we got there my contraction were about 1 minute apart and I was fully dilated and ready to push. But little Bailey was breech so we had to do a c-section. The girls were taking in to the nicu right away and that is where they have been ever since. They are doing very well we are just waiting for them to be able to eat all there feeding orally. Right now they are up to 3 feedings a day and with in the next day or two they will be up to four. As soon as they can do back to back feedings really well they will be able to come home.

GLOW STICKS

DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS PLAY WITH GLOW STICKS. McKayden was playing with one of the big thick ones last night and for some reason he thought that it would be a good idea to bend it. Well there we are sitting on the couch and all of the sudden he started SCREAMING! It squirted in his eye and was burning. SO there I was on the phone with poison control, again. We had to hold him down and flush his eyes out with water. The kid is a lot stronger then he looks. It took Both Blair and I to hold him down. After ten minutes of toucher he was able to calm down.

Why Do They Have to Grow Up SO Fast.

On August 26Th my baby boy went to his first day of Kindergarten. I thought that we was starting out the day great. We got up he attempted to eat. He was a little nervous and didn't eat a bite. He got all ready. We went out side and took pictures. Then we went down to the school and was 20 minutes early. "So I thought." So we took some more pictures. We got down to his class and I realized that all the kids were already there and sitting on the rug. I look behind me and I have no kids with me. Presley walked right in and was saying hi to the class. McKayden was hiding out side the door not wanting to go in. I looked at the teacher and asked her if we was late. In her sweet little kindergarten teacher voice she said Yes school starts at 8:30. So instead of being 20 minutes early we were 10 minutes late! Poor McKayden I felt so bad. After I finally got him in and settled Presley and I started to leave. All of the sudden Presley runs in front of me blocking the door and looking at me she says "MOM we can't just leave McKayden here." Poor little thing was so worried about her big brother. Later we went and picked him up and he jumped in the car and said. "School was GREAT." They did the gingerbread man chase, and got to know each other. The next day he was so excited to go to school that he told me that he didn't want me to take him in to his class and that I could just drop him off. Well that was a big mistake. He did the same thing he had done the day before. Hiding outside the door the teacher tried to get him in. He wouldn't go. Good thing that he has a little friend that is in his class. The teacher sent Luke out and McKayden walked right in with him. McKayden has gotten a lot better now. He walks to school everyday with a group of friends. They get there early enough to play on the play ground and make it to class on time everyday. I still can't believe that my baby boy is in kindergarten.

We're Having Girls!!!

This is a Pic of baby A. aka baby Heffalump. When McKayden seen her he told the ultrasound guy she looks like a heffalump.
This is Baby B. She was hiding the whole time we were trying to get her head size. But as soon as he turned on the 4D she was out posing.

Presley.

So Presley has been very cuddly lately and has decided that she is the baby. So she was trying to get comfortable on my belly the other night and laid her head on my belly. Well I guess one of the babies didn't like that and kicked her right in the head. She shot up and was looking at me with her eyes wide open and her mouth in a perfect circle, and said baby kicked me in the head! It really freaked her out because now she wont even put her hand on my belly when I tell her the babies are kicking.
