OBSESSION!!

I have just started reading the third book (Eclipse) of the Stephenie Meyer series. My Grandma Bronec and Dana Widing both recommended them to me and I read the first and was in love and than read the second and fell head over heals and have started reading the third and Jer says i have become obsessed (which is true). They are coming out with a movie for the first book
"Twilight" The following is off Stephenie Meyers website. November 16, 2007 — Summit Entertainment announced today that Kristen Stewart will star as "Bella Swan" in the production of the feature film TWILIGHT, the thriller-romance based on Stephenie Meyer's publishing phenomenon. The film, which begins production February 2008, will be directed by Catherine Hardwicke, with Melissa Rosenberg (STEP UP) having adapted the script. Karen Rosenfelt (DEVIL WEARS PRADA) and Greg Mooradian will produce along with Mark Morgan via his Maverick Films banner. It sounds like it will be amazing and I am so excited!! The following is a link to Stephenie Meyers' website: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/

If you have not read these books go buy them they are worth it! For those of you who have lets go see the movie together when it comes out (I will probably be one of the only people over 15 in the theater but I will love it none-the-less).

Remember Me

This is me...Do you remember me? I am a just a wall you might say, but I am the pride of a father, a father who loves his children. I show achievements, awards, recognitions, heroes, and above all hard work. The things that occupy my surface are not made of gold (technically speaking), the things I hold are Priceless. I am retiring this week and will miss being a fathers joy and pride. I will miss showing others the blood sweat and tears, hard work that has earned each medal, ribbon, or award. But most of all I will miss the father who spent hours supporting his children and proudly hanging their achievements on me. So farewell and thank you.

Jason, Lahia and Baby Update

Yay their first washer and dryer!
Kohen is helping move to

Jason's nice big office!

Cute Cute Kitchen

Front room (notice Lahia's cute baby belly)

Master "Suite"

Babies room!

Nice big bathroom. Lahia is so excited it had counter space their old apartment didn't.

Well there blog is down temporarily so I am taking it upon myself to give you all an update. They just moved into a three bedroom house they are renting and it is darling!! Good sized kitchen, WASHER and DRYER, the garage was converted into a bonus room so it is perfect for Jason's office (separate entrance). The front room is nice and big!! These are a few pictures I took when we were moving there things in (emphasis on MOVING...nothing is put away yet) I know Lahia would be embarrassed if people thought her house looked like that all the time.

Making friends!!

Kohen has started noticing other babies much more now. At church today I put him on his blanket on the ground to play (during relief society), there was a baby 2 months older than Kohen in the row ahead who was crawling. OH MY GOSH that looked like so much fun Kohen tried and tried and tried to move his little feet and arms but they weren't listening to him, so his new little friend came over and joined him! The picture above was taken last week at church she is a darling little girl in our ward and she is two weeks younger than Kohen. I love watching babies grow the different stages are so amazing! Since it is a week to share what we are thankful for I want to say THANK YOU to Kohen for making Jeremiah and My life better than we could ever have imagined...I'm so grateful to be his mommy and so lucky to have such great husband!!

Mmmm Toe Jam!

Yummy he found his toes and like everything else he gets a hold of they go straight to his mouth for taste test!
And here he is offering it to me "look tastes good mom" I'm so glads he likes to share

Hurrican WENDY!

Kohen listening to the wind!

This morning I was awaken by the loudest wind I have ever heard! I really like Oregon weather cause we don't usually have many extremes (unless you consider rain 70% of the year as extreme) but it was the loudest wind storm I have heard in my life. The town fire alert tower (thingy) went off three times this morning!!! I called Jer on his way to work to ask him how windy it was other places and he said it wasn't that windy the closer he got to Portland. I got off the phone with him, put my little man in bed with me to keep him from getting scared (and cause I was terrified to be alone) and then I heard continual bangs and whooshes. I heard a bang so loud I thought the window broke in my bathroom I got up to check it out and I think the wind just blew something against the window. My power went out at about 6:00 and didn't turn back on until about 7 or so. Thankfully I am happy to report no damage and injuries are at a low percent (I stubbed my toe).

A few of my Favorite Pictures!

My little Family!

I am usually the one behind the camera so I thought I would take a few shots to prove to Kohen someday that his mama does hold him!
Ive figured out his career...he is going to be a food taste tester! (He puts EVERYTHING in his mouth!!)

Doesn't he look like he has so much to tell his Daddy

Best Buddies!!

Calling you grandma!

Kohen bug loves to talk to grandma Ellingson on the phone and she loves to talk to him...Sometimes she will call and he will be talking away at the phone, but the second she starts talking back he gets really quite and looks all around the room for her. We love you grandma!!

Itsy Bitsy Spider..I think not

This spider was outside my window this morning! It looks like its on steroids...I told Jer he needs to kill it when he gets home cause there is no way I can sleep with that thing alive. I HATE SPIDERS!!!!!

He say's 'Ama

He says 'Ama now (it is mama).. When he is really upset and sometimes just randomly he just blurts out 'Ama. Jer wasn't here the other day when he worked on his DADADADADADADA's I'm not sure if he knows what Dada stands for :) Its so cute to watch the new things he does daily...I feel so blessed that I am able to stay home with my little man!

Halloween at the barkley's

Since Kohen is only 4 months old we couldn't justify taking him Trick or Treating... it would have been a little too obvious that the candy was for us. So instead we took Yoda to Grandma Barkley's for a visit.

This is Yoda on Mama's Lap, most of you probably didn't know but Yoda is a Mama's Boy!

Jer & I were going to dress up, but I had a client until about 6:30 so it seemed silly to dress upHe looked so cute in his costume..Every time he turned his head the ears would turn with him! Jer said that Kohen is about the size that Yoda "really" is.

His costume was kinda big on him, so I'm thinking that next year we might have round two of Yoda...but than again Ill probably find something else.

This is Yoda after a filling meal!

Mobsters, Money and signs of Madness

This murder Mystery this year was great UNFORTUNATELY my battery died during the "photo shoot"... Jer wrote it this year and he did a great job. I knew he was creative and a good writer but WOW it was very impressive! Anyway everyone else got better Pict's and so look at there "blogs"! LOL
