Thank You

I would like to thank Cami D. for the fabulous job she did on my blog. It's so stinking cute. She put a lot of time into making it just right. It's so perfect. Ryan & I totally love it. Thank you Cami you are so awesome, I really appreciate you. I want to thank Carrie for finding the perfect picture of Jaxon and getting it to Cami for me. I love that picture of Jaxon. I emailed Carrie and asked her to find a picture of Jaxon. As always she came through. Thank you Care. I love you! Now our blog is complete. I hope it's OK that I cased this adorable picture of Cami and Lucas. I couldn't help myself. They just look so happy!



I have to say that from time to time I see Jaxon in the other kids, but today to see the four of them side by side is overwhelming. I'm bawling right now. I am so grateful to be their Mother. I love them so much and feel so blessed to have such good kids.

Also I would like to thank my good friend Nikki for the pictures that Cami used for my blog header. She is a wonderful friend that is taking the photography world by storm. She lives two doors down from me. She is running a Valentine special. If anyone is interested her phone # is (208)-557-0349 Nikki Foust Photography. I'll be sending out new pictures of the kids via mail soon. I just got my pictures back today and they are really cute.

Jaxon Is My Idea Of Heaven

I was showing Ryan the makeover of our blog....Thanks Cami. We love what she was able to do with the place. Ryan asked me where Jaxon's picture was. I was thinking it too. So this is what I've been doing for the past three hours. Now that I played around with the slide show I think I've got it figured out. I hope everyone enjoys this. I sure love Jax and miss him very much. As I've been looking at baby pictures of Jaxon I can't help but see a resemblance between him and Conor.

It Must Be Love


Conor loves bath time. He smiles and laughs. He's so happy.
This picture cracks me up. I know it looks like Conor is wearing a bonnet. I promise he's not. I got him this tub. It works awesome. It has a head rest and hammock. It's perfect right now while he's little. It holds his head up above the water. His body weight brings him down a bit so he's laying in the warm water. This is so nice because babies are so slippery when their all lathered up. This tub will grow with him which is really cool. When he gets bigger and can sit up, I'll take the hammock out and he can sit in the enclosed tub.

Papa Bill says Conor's going to grow up to be a traffic cop, he'll do a great job directing the traffic. He's always got his arms and hands swinging all over the place.


Whenever Conor is fussy or having a hard time. We take his feet out of whatever he's wearing. He smiles real big and kicks his legs. He loves not having clothes on.

It Must Be Love
Oh It Must Be Love
I Fall Like A Sparrow
I Fly Like A Dove

It Must Be Love
You Must Be The Dream
I've Been Dreaming Of
Oh It Must Be Love




Little Conor James is 3 months old today. I honestly can't believe how fast the last few months have flown by. Conor is such a sweet baby. He smiles all the time. He's been trying to communicate with us. He mimics the sounds we make. Jake and Marli are always asking me "what did he say"? Then they'll make something up. Conor makes the cutest noises. We are so blessed to have him in our family. It's hard to imagine life without him. He is such an absolute joy.


We love our Little Smiley Pooh. He makes us all so happy.

Private

I have known for a while that I have a stalker. Unfortunately it's my crazy neighbor. I have been forced to make my blog private. I hope everyone understands and gets me their email so I can invite them. I can't believe I have been forced to do this. I have been trying to simplify my life and really can do with out all the drama. Hopefully this will eliminate the problem. I love you all.

Tonsils and Adnoids

On December 20th I had my tonsils and adenoids removed. I had Strep throat 5 times and numerous sinus infections over the last year and a half. The doctor told me the reason why I can never get rid of my sore throat is because my tonsils are so full of infection that as soon as I stop taking an antibiotic the strep comes right back.
The doctor didn't know if he would have to take out my adnoids until he got in there.
I had no idea that when I left Mountain View Hospital after having Conor I would be back less than two months later. Ryan took this picture of me right before I had the tonsil surgery.


Notice I'm smiling real big. Obviously I'm clueless as what is about to happen to me.





Ryan took this picture of me the day after the surgery. I don't remember him taking this picture. As I have talked to my mom over the last couple of weeks I've realized I don't remember a lot of what happened right after the surgery and up to a week later. It's a terrible feeling to not remember things. I've talked to several people about this and they have reassured me that after having surgery it's normal to have memory loss. It's probably all the stupid drugs they give you.We went to the movie National Treasure two the day after my surgery. I don't remember walking into the Theatre or the movie or leaving. I do remember sitting next to Grandma Phyllis though. It's a good thing my parents kept Conor after Ryan had to go back to work. I'm so lucky to have loving parents that love their Grand kids so much. I thought they kept Conor for two nights my mom told me they had him five nights.I guess my dad would come and get Marli and I in the morning and then take us home at night to see Ryan. Jake and Conor stayed at their house so I could rest. I remember being at my parents house,but not going home or riding in the car back to their house. CRAZY!!!! Thursday it was four weeks since the tonsil surgery and I'm finally feeling fairly good. I haven't gotten my appetite back yet. My parents got us a Ruby River gift card for Christmas. Ryan keeps asking me if I'm ready for a Ribeye steak. Not yet, but hopefully soon.
I can't believe how long it has taken me to recover from this. I can breath so much better and haven't had a migraine, or sinus pain since the surgery. The throat pain isn't any worse than having strep either. It's just the ear pain and pain that goes with healing and being really tired that has been the worst part. It's amazing how much better a person can feel when their brain gets the proper oxygen.

Gary & Linda

We have some of the best neighbors on the planet. Our friends Gary & Linda live across the street from us. They don't have any kids, but two adorable female beagle dogs. After Conor was born they brought us a pumpkin roll (my all time favorite thing to eat) and a puppy quilt that the two of them made. It meant so much to us.Ryan and I couldn't believe that the two of them picked out the fabric, bought the pattern and sewed this together. They are so awesome.



The blanket is huge. Conor will be able to use it forever. The ears and paws fold over. The material they used for the paws has little paw prints,so cute. It's so fun to put the blanket on the floor and wrap him up in it. Jake and Marli love to lay on it too.



A week ago Friday Linda, my other neighbor Nikki and I went to a stampin up get together. It was just what the doctor ordered for me. I got a couple projects done. The best part was just hanging out with the girls. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends that live so close to me. Both Linda and Nikki knew I was having a hard time and have called or came over daily to see how I'm doing. I don't know if it's because of hormones or the bitter cold weather,but I have really had the blues. I think some warm weather or a hot tub is all I need.

BrandonBob

My brother Brandon was able to come home for Thanksgiving. I know it was almost two months ago and I'm just now getting around to documenting it. At the rate I'm going it's better late than never right? Anyway it was the first time he's been home in way too long. He lives in Couerd'Alene Idaho. It was so good to see him.




Jacob couldn't look any more like Brandon if he was his kid. My mom is always telling Jake he reminds her of Brandon so much. He likes to tease and joke around just like my brother. Now Jake is totally into Lego's just like Brandon was. He has those dark brown eyes that are gorgeous and that smile that will always get him out of trouble too.



Marli wouldn't let him out of her sight she wanted to sit on his lap and be right next to him.



Me and my little brother. I love him so much. I wish he lived closer so my kids could hang out with him on a daily basis. When Jaxon was little Brandon would watch him for me and loved spending time with him. Jaxon loved Uncle Brandon and would laugh and tease just like him.

On December 29th (my dad's birthday) Brandon was in an accident where a guy accidentally cut Brandon's right hand across the top of his knuckles. It's pretty bad. He'll be off work for a few months. Brandon has a really cute girlfriend Kayla that has been taking care of him. I've never met her, but talked to her on the phone. She seems like a sweetheart. I'm so grateful he has her.





I have lost so much sleep worrying about him and praying his hand will heal properly. He had to have surgery on it. The doctor told him it was the worst cut he had ever seen. For the most part the surgery went well. Brandon's tendon in his pinkie shriveled up and went back up his arm. The doctor had to make several incision to repair it. I wish so badly I could be the one that is taking care of him. I was eleven when he was born and always loved taking care of him.

Here's some pictures of his hand. This breaks my heart that this happened to him. I have had to pray continuously to forgive the idiot I mean person who did this to my brother.



My brother told me he was awake for the surgery and could feel what the doctor was doing. He begged them to knock him out and they told him they couldn't. After having Conor I had my tubes tied. I was awake and could feel what the doctor was doing and it was awful. I felt so bad that my brother had to go through this.




My mom and I put together a care package for Brandon and Kayla. They got it and loved everything we put in it. I wanted to do something nice for Kayla to let her know how much I appreciate her. I hope we can meet her soon.

Marli Pooh

These are some pictures of Marli with her dance class. She loves dance. It's a jazz/ballet/tap class. The last couple weeks they started using their tap shoes in class. It's so fun to watch her. I took dance and loved it and it brings back so many memories when I watch her. She is in her element when she's in class. She listens to her teacher and watches her very closely. Most the girls in the glass goof off and could care less. Marli wants to be right next to Miss Stephanie and do exactly what she does.



The girls got to wear their Halloween costumes to class for the Halloween party.




Marli's class has performed a couple of times. They danced three songs at the Festival of Trees and then at Hillcrest Highschool for a fundraiser for a family that was in a bad car accident.

Marli cracks me up. We never know what is going to come out of her mouth. Today we were downstairs hanging out. She comes over to me and tells me her night light is broken and it needs a new battery. "Mom can we please go to the store and buy a new battery...PLEASE"? Well the funny part is that it plugs in to the outlet it needs a new bulb not batteries.





Lately Marli has been my big helper. She loves to help me in any way. She has always helped me do laundry by throwing the clothes in the washer and then handing me the clean clothes out of the dryer to fold. A couple weeks ago she asked me how to fold the towels. I showed her once and now she folds all the towels. If I grab a towel out of the dryer she grabs it from me and says " NO MINE". If I need something for Conor she is more than willing to go get whatever I need.Conor loves his big sister even though she is always up in his face singing and bugging him. She loves her baby brother. Papa Bill taught her a song to sing to Conor. Let's just say it sounds like a broken record at our house 90% of the time. She calls Conor Baby and wants to be right next to him. She's a total sweetheart. I'm so grateful to have a daughter, I always wanted a sister and never got one. I really wanted Marli to have a sister and she's not going to get one either. I was talking to her the other night about this. She said "Mom I don't need a sister because I have you and your my bestest friend ever". Yeah I cried. She always makes me feel good. Whenever I try to kiss her she tells me she can kiss me, but I can't kiss her. Oh Marli Pooh Mommy loves you.

Friday Fun

I always look forward to Fridays. Sometimes it amazes me how much I can accomplish in one day. I took the kids to pre-school and we were five minutes early which in itself is amazing because it is on the other side of town. Then I met Ryan at B.A. Wackerli to drop off his truck so they can replace the mirror that I accidentally damaged, there going to rotate the tires and do a complete diagnostic on the truck. The warranty runs out on it in June. We wanted to make sure if it need any work we get it done before the warranty runs out. I dropped Ryan off at home. Then Conor and I went visiting teaching. I hurried back across town to pick the kids up from pre-school. Jacob was so funny when I got there he was telling his little friends about how cool his dad's Sony PSP is. Ryan lets Jake play some games on it and Jake loves it. After I got them all buckled in we dashed through McDonald's drive thru. I found out that you can get a bottle of Dasani water with your kids happy meal instead of soda. My kids prefer water to any drink so we were all happy to learn that. The kids ate their lunch and then we met Aunt Kimmie, her four adorable munchkins, Papa Reuel, Grandma Lyn, and Great Grandma Phyllis at Edwards Theatre. We were all excited to see each other and see Alvin and the Chipmunk movie. Unfortunately I didn't take my camera. When Kamri and Marli saw each other they hugged each other in the middle of the road. It was so cute. Jacob was very happy to see cousin Koby. I love Kim's kids and am always so happy to see them. They are so good to always hug me back whenever I squeeze them and love on them. I just can't get enough of them. I was lucky enough to sit next to Kamri. She saw the movie before and was so cute, she would tell me what was going to happen. We had fun singing along to the songs. Luckily all the other grown ups weren't within hearing distance of my singing. Jake was on the edge of his seat throughout the entire movie. In the kids pre-school Christmas program Jacob was Simon the chipmunk...he thought that was hilarious because he lives on Simon street. He was rock'in out and loving every second of the movie. Conor was a little pill. He was hungry so I made him a bottle. He must be spoiled because the water wasn't cool, but wasn't warm enough for him. Grandma Lyn was trying to feed him. He was telling her off. She brought him down to me. I had to finally stand up and rock him to get him to drink the bottle. Then he fell asleep. Kenzi is three and was so cute she came and sat by me. She asked me what Conor's name was... "What's her name?,Her's so cute,Her's so soft, I love her". I told her Conor was a boy like cousin Luke. When she would say "her" I would say yeah he's ...whatever she said. She was so cute with him. She would rub his head and love him. She shared popcorn with me. I told her I loved her and missed her. She said my name and told me she loved me. She melts my heart. The movie was really cute. Koby and Jake were upset that their time together was over. They are so cute together. Jake told me his heart was broken because Koby was sad they couldn't hang out any longer. I have to say I was a little heartbroken when I saw how sad Koby was.When Koby's feeling better we'll have to have him over so the boys can play. I loaded up the three kids and we were on our way to run a few errands before getting home a little before 4:00.

Thanks Kimmie for a fun date! The kids and I had a blast with you guys!

Ryan has to work tonight. He took a shower before work and it works so good for me to give him Conor and he washes him in the shower. We've done it with all four kids. Conor loves the warm water. He knows to close his eyes and mouth. He smiles when the warm water hits him.Then we ate dinner and got our Jammie's on. After getting some laundry done. I read to the kids and finally relaxed.

I'm looking forward to Saturday. Ryan will be home and we can hang out. It's hard the four days he works. They are long days. He's gone fifteen hours. The kids and I miss him alot. I'm finally feeling pretty good. The last couple weeks I've found myself really struggling. I have felt completely overwhelmed. I talked to my boss on Monday. He agreed to let me start working 8:40-4:40 instead of 8:30-6:30. It makes a huge difference. He was so nice about it. He told me I need to take care of myself, then my kids, then my job. I was pleasantly surprised by his attitude.

Here's a few photo's of the kids from the last few days.We were supposed to go to Provo tomorrow to meet my newest little niece. Unfortunately Ryan has to work Sunday so we'll have to post pone our trip. If blogger cooperates I'll post my first slide show soon of what we've all been up to.



Yummy Cheeto's. You can see Marli has the evidence all over her little face. No They weren't sharing with Conor.



This was taken in the morning before school on Monday.





Just chillin out on Mom's bed.

Jacob loves to feed his brother. Conor lights up when ever he hears Jacob's voice. Jake is Conor's favorite person. He's always smiling up at Jake.

T.V. series "House"

Erin and Mark let Ryan and I borrow season one of the T.V. series House. We had never heard of it before. We are hooked. We don't watch much t.v. We managed to watch all of season one. Ryan returned it to Erin and she gave him season two. After the kids are in bed it's our new way of spending time together. The show is so good. I can't wait until we get to watch it again. Ryan laughs at me whenever I say " Are you ready to watch house"? Normally when we try to watch a movie I get up several times to do laundry or different things.I can never sit still. It drives Ryan crazy. He can sit and not move for hours. When we watch this show I don't move for several episodes. It really keeps my attention. Ryan and I try to diagnose the patients before the doctors. It's pretty fun.



Thanks Mark and Erin for Good,fun,free entertainment. We love this show, But not as much as we love you guys.

2008 Aint Starting Out So Great

My New Year has started out with a Big Bang. Not a good one however. My driver car door has issues. The mechanism that allows the door to shut isn't working. I have come out of work after a long day to find my door frozen shut. I can get in after climbing in thru the passenger side. Once the door is open it will not shut. Ron Sayer has ordered the part and is fixing it tomorrow. My windshield cracked from one corner all the way across to the other. My battery died . Ryan hooked up the battery charger and had it charging all night. The battery wouldn't hold a charge so my dad went and bought me a new battery put it in and all was well. Not exactly. I didn't drive my car after the new battery was in. I went to drive Marli to dance and my car was dead. Again? You've got to be kidding me. Once again my dad comes to my rescue. Him and my mom came out to my house. He hooked up the charger and after about 20 minutes I was good to go. By this time it was too late to get Marli to dance. She was so sweet and gave me a hug and told me it was OK. So now for the best part. When I originally found out my car battery died I was trying to run to good O'le Walmart alone to buy a few things and get a much needed break. I know it probably sounds dumb that I would find shopping at Walmart at night a break. I had been home for a few days with three little ones and hadn't left the house so sadly at the time this sounded like a good idea. After I couldn't get my car to start I hopped in Ryan's truck and attempted to back out of the garage like I've done a million times. Well the passenger mirror barely tapped the side of the garage/house. With it being so cold the chintzy (is that a word?) plastic casing cracked and a piece fell off. I got out of the truck walked behind the truck over to the side where the mirror was thinking I could push it in and continue to back up. Well as I proceeded to walk around the truck I fell in the driveway. Our driveway has been sheer ice. As I tried to get up I went down again on my left shoulder. As you can imagine my adrenaline was really pumping at this point. I got back in the truck pulled forward and then backed up successfully. I cried all the way to Walmart. I called my neighbor Linda and she was so supportive. She told me to tell Ryan that some idiot in Walmart's parking lot hit his mirror. As I was shopping I was terrified to go home and face Ryan. He takes such good care of his truck and it has low miles and his goal is to pay it off and keep it forever. Jacob had asked for Chinese for dinner so I stopped at The Hong Kong and picked up a to go order. I pulled in the driveway and only pulled the truck in part of the way so Ryan could see the Van Damage. I went in the house and told him what I did I was honest and told the truth. He stared at me for a minute and said so what your telling me is you wrecked my truck? I asked him to come look at it and he didn't want to. He finally did. I was bawling. I feel so bad. He gave me a hug and said accidents happen. Yeah surprised me too. So this little accident cost $780. For a mirror are you kidding me? They can't replace the plastic they have to replace the whole mirror. I think it's GMC's way of making money. I have had two patients with 2005 GMC trucks tell me that something similar happened to them. LAME! So after I get my car fixed Ryan's truck will get a new mirror and hopefully we can be done with car dilemma's for the entire year. I'm trying to be positive and think OK I've had my part of bad luck enough to last me until 2009. I certainly hope so.

Ice Cream



This may sound silly,but I did something for the first time ever in my life. I bought my own half gallon of ice cream and actually ate it all. OK let me explain. I wasn't sure what I would be able to eat after having my tonsils out. I went grocery shopping at Albertson's prior to the surgery. I bought a assortment of frozen goodies. One of them being Bryer's light peanut butter ice cream with fudge. I have never really had a thing for ice cream. Sure it's good, but I've just never indulged in it. This is a odd thing in itself now that I think of it. Simply because being a Colvin the Colvin's love ice cream. My Papa John loves ice cream and so do all the kids. My Dad and Mom have a bowl almost every night. With that being said Ryan and my kids also love ice cream. We always have a few kinds in our freezer and I usually throw away half or partially eaten cartons. Last night my throat was really hurting and although I made dinner for everyone I didn't eat. After I had all the kids tucked in bed and I took a shower I thought I would treat myself to a nice bowl of ice cream. For some reason it sounded so good to me despite it being freezing outside. I went to the freezer and pulled out the peanut butter ice cream it was almost gone. Ryan has had a couple bowls with me over the last couple weeks, but for the most part it was me who has enjoyed the majority of this ice cream. I have partnered the peanut butter ice cream with a helping of bryers chocolate ice cream as well. So when I make Ryan or myself a bowl I put a couple scoops of chocolate with the peanut butter. When I threw the cartons away it was a weird sort of satisfying feeling that I started something and saw it thru to the end. I'm sure this sounds completely ridiculous. Thanks for letting me share this random information.

I feel the need to share one more thing. Some of the most memorable times have included Aunt Tare Bear and Cold Stone Ice Cream in Salt Lake. She turned me on to Cold Stone and we would get all sorts of fun flavors and enjoy them either at Primary's or the apartment. After having Cold Stone ice cream regular ice cream is well just boring. We now have one in Idaho Falls. Ryan and I have taken the kids there a time or two. It's so fun when you put money in the tip jar they sing fun songs.

I have to add that if I ever see or eat another Popsicle it will be too soon. I think I ate two and a half boxes of Popsicles over the last three weeks. I never even liked them,but they felt so good on my throat. Before I could leave the hospital the nurse had a certain criteria for me one being I had to eat so many Popsicles. I ate five. I do however love fudgesicles and there's even banana ones that I have had lately that are really yummy.
