Here is the story about the first song on the CD

 

Moriah Peters is a pretty cool girl, check out her video where she shares about her American Idol experience:  

 
Here is another song I like that is not on her CD so I will share it here!

Stand

Stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come, for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord. Amen. - D&C 87:8

Return of Cousin Number 5

Okay, In case you couldn't figure it out, it went by age. This is Kaitlyn! :) So my family is sorta living at Grandma's house. It is kinda hectic sometimes. We have been living here for about 5 monthes. Yeah, It is kinda crazy, but sometimes really fun. We see David and Melanie and Trisha and all their kids alot. We babysit alot too! ;) I like it though. As you all know, Christmas is coming up. Jenessa, Treyson, Kristy, Aldana, Bruce, and Ashton are coming! Talk about a full house! We are going to have to make room. I think David said Bruce and Aldana were staying with David. Not sure. But still. I am really excited though. We are in the process of putting up Grandma's tree. It is really cool. You have to put one each branch, not just the three big sections. We are using the lights they used on the house last year, so we had to pull of all the things that connected them to the roof. It hurts your fingers. Jess, when you come to Grandma's, You, me, and Marissa should do a Christmas rap for your competition!!! :D I am so excited for Christmas!

Jenessa Again

Okay, I'm back to tell you some exciting news: I have started up my old blog again, so head over to it at jkstokey.blogspot.com and check it out! Let me know what you think of it.

Where Art Thou, Cousins?

Yeah, I'm sure you all know this is Jenessa. No one else writes anymore. But alas! I'm going to change that. Okay, point 1- I challenge everyone to post once a month. It's not that hard, so get snappy and type until you get premature arthritis. Let's keep this blog alive! I'm expecting exciting posts about the holidays... Point 2- Christmas will be here in less than a month! Who's excited? Well, I am, and to celebrate, I have concocted the most lovely of ideas: we're going to have a Christmas rap-off! Here's how it will go down: each competitor will compose their own Christmas-themed rap, then upload it in a post with the post title as your rap title. Also include your rapper name (for example, Velocirapper for a...dinosaur-ish rapping competitor; Tootsie [That's Just How I] Roll; Chamillionaire; Femme the Funkstress, which is French; or go to the following website and type in random names until you find your destined rap name: rapstarname.com). Okay, back to the actual rap. Let's get these raps in by Christmas day. If you want, you can even upload a video of you rapping! And another thing is if you want to form a rapster group, go for it! Seriously. Once all the raps are in, anyone reading them can post their personal favorite(s). Ready...set...RAP!

Holy Guacamole, says Jenessa

I'm thinking those titles are getting to be a bit bland...I feel the need to alert everyone that it is indeed me writing, and so I have limited options, but I must say, I think that "holy guacamole" sums up the time I haven't written. So, how's everyone doing? I'm fine, but very busy. I'm doing high school classes in the morning, then I take college courses in the afternoon. I'm also gaining quite the social life, so, you know, if you want to get popular by association, then just claim that you're my cousin, and wallah! you will instantly be allowed in every, uh...party. Okay, since my life is filled with school, school, more school, and random pictures, I've decided to post some pictures and videos taken in the last year or so. I must say, they are pretty amusing, some of them.

Okay, so imagine these being titled: "A Gory Dinner," "Mystery Meat," or "Bloody Mary's on the Double." In reality, it was tomato sauce. I was taking the empty cans to the garbage when I dropped them, and as everyone stared in horror, I ran to get my camera. They're pretty great, wouldn't you agree? On a completely new topic, you know how everyone from Utah that goes on tv acts like a crazy, misrepresenting us as a whole? Well, there's this one famous "youtuber" named Lindsey Stirling, and she's from Provo! She's actually living there right now. Anyways, check her out on youtube. She's a(n) violinist, electric violinist, dubstep violinist, and she's pretty darn amazing. She also has a choreographer and cinematographor (video taper) and the most fantastic costumes and makeup work. Her friend Devin (I think) Graff also lives in Utah, and he does the coolest things like parkour and rope swining in Bryce Canyon. She mentions him in almost every video of hers, so check them both out!

Btw that was Kaitlyn :)

Jenessa Rises From the World of Dead [Absent] Bloggers

Helloooo, everyone. I know, I know, shame on me for not writing sooner, but I've been one busy quack (what a quack is, I know not). Most recently, I just came home from Havasupai. What is that, you ask, dear family members? It is a village and Indian tribe in the Grand Canyon, and there is a hike that has adopted the short name of Havasupai. Basically, it's a...11.5 or so mile hike down into the Grand Canyon, where there are some AMAZING waterfalls to splash about in. We also found a cave whilst whittling away time before the night (we hiked out at night). In fact, I'll just give you a play-by-play of what happened: Tuesday at noon: left St. George; drove to the Grand Canyon, near the entrance to the hiking trail. Arrived at 6 or so, and was very bored. Wednesday at 3 AM: I, having had not slept for even a minute, was a weird mix of exhaustion and wide-awakeness, jumped up, put in my contacts, and was ready to hike down. We (we being me and my three fellow laurels and friends) would have reached our campsite at 7:30 AM, but, as we did not see our well-hidden campsite, we walked about an extra mile before finding our little home for the next few days. We sat around until 2, seeking shade, because we hired donkeys to carry tents, etc., and they were an hour or so late. We then headed to the main falls, Havasu Falls, where we played in the water for a few hours, then headed back to eat our yummy Mountain Man dinner (that night was spaghetti!), then have a talk about scriptures with Bishop. At quarter to nine, Shelsey (one of my best friends ever) and I went to our Grotto (I dubbed our little tent spot that), both aching from the extra mile and wanting to lay down, to get in our tent. She was writing in her journal and I was reading scriptures when she suddenly gasped and freaked out and was out of the tent in record time. What had she looked at to act like a crazed looney? There was a humongous wolf spider (I think it was a wolf spider) with a body the size of of a nickel mere inches above our heads. I curled up in a ball in the corner of our Walrus tent as it came to my side. I was yelling at Shelsey to come open my door flap because the spider was pouring on the gas towards it (and me), and I finally convinced her to. I was up and out of there so fast I was shocked. I didn't know I had it in me, being so sore my legs were shaking, but I guess you get gusto (motivation as well), when you find out you're rooming with a surprise third tentie (instead of roomie) that happens to be one of nature's finest and ugliest.... Anyways, Shelsey's dad came down and killed the spider after pulling evetything out of the tent and shaking it...it was a complicated process. I can only imagine what all the other campers thought as they heard two girls yelling and hearing me say, "Just open my flap!" Thursday: we ate our granola, which was delicious, then headed to Mooney Falls. Mooney is the most exciting hiking path. Why? Well, you hike down a rocky terrain, then enter a cave that is roughly hewn out of the cliff, hike down that for a while, then go out for a few yards. After that, you enter another cave, descend a little, then BAM! You look down and there are chains, and you literally scale the cliffside with only a greasy chain to hold you up. You climb down the face of the rock for quite some time, and then you're there. It's intense. We played there for a few hours, then went back to camp to play in the river (our campsite was right next to a portion of the river). As we were hiking down, a father of one of the girls in our group heard some other guys say, "Did you see those girls climbing down? They hiked here themselves! Isn't that impressive?" (I'm both offended- could you be any more sexist?-and...honored? Smug? Well, glad we proved how sstrong we really are.) We had a little testimony meeting, then went to bed. Friday: we saw 8th ward from our stake. They were also impressed with us *eye roll*. We found some floaties, me and a Mia Maid, Courtney, floated down the river. It was so much fun! We then packed up camp and took it to Havasu Falls. We wanted less of a hike that night when we hiked out. We lazed about, playing and floating. Bishop found a cave, so we hiked in, and it was pitch black, slightly cold, and dead silent. It was actually an old abandoned mining shaft with a whole bunch of tunnels going not only left and right, but up and down as well. I took some souvenir rocks. It was so so cool, but I was in my headlamp, swimsuit, board shorts, and water shoes, so I didn't go down the tunnel with questionable rope as your support. Anyways, we left at sixish, after hiking up Havasu to this pool we found at the top of the falls with tall jumping spots. We got sidetracked for an hour and a half at the village where we bought blesssed ice cream and I fed a grey cat tuna, talked to an animal more bear than dog, and played with this cute little black weiner dog. We saw a huge scorpion that was basically a small lobster (it was freakishly big). Then we reached the switchbacks. Oh my gosh, it was awful. They are steep, long, and never ending. We also had to keep stopping for this one girl.... We were all apart on the treacherous switchbacks, and I saw a baby scorpion no bigger than a half of a Twinkie. Maddi and I finally emerged, panting and victorious, at 11:45 PM or so. We took victory pictures, went to the beloved bathroom (hey, hey, hey, you'd have to go to if you drank water almost nonstop for five hours with no bathroom stops), the headed towards the cars to get an icy gatorade and drop. Everyone made it back by 12:45, and we all went to bed until 7-ish, then proceeded to drive home. Saturday: we stopped at Golden Corral for breakfast (oh, yeeeaaahhh), where I had ice cream, amongst many other foods. We got home at one, give or take. So I now have the privelege to say I hiked the Grand stinkin' Canyon! Okay, that was a loooong post. My arm is aching. I'll post pictures ASAP. Bye!

Imma bored!!!!!!:(

You can pretty much tell everything from the title, but if you can't tell, IMMA BORED! I really want to go to this place called Kiser lake to go swimming, but I don't know when we're going and it's one'o clock and I'm just waiting to go, so bored! This is actually taking some of the boredom away. Only two major things happened. 1) OUR CAT DIED! I was really sad, and so was everybody else. Aubrey was completely distraught! She sobbed, and sobbed, and sobbed, and sobbed some more, then sobbed, sobbed, sobbed harder, well, you get the point-she sobbed, and sobbed, and sobbed some-wait, I am NOT getting into that again! Anyway, he got hit by a car on March 13th, 2012, but we found him the next day. jjnbyhkyhgjgygjjhgyftgjfyufiyfkigfkigki uiggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghgjxklgvjxihfsui0yhgfdsigfkhsjiordytustyhresdtsiudftgkdzsgjfsogkfsopkgfsopdkgfsopdkfgksopifklp[fiifufsldjuhjgfhurdifgjhjdfhsffyudkc

My Spring Break

Hey! This is Kaitlyn!I am on spring break now. Guess where I am??? HOME!! I didn't go anywhere. Hey, Allison and Aubrey, was Navoo fun? How in the world did Chandler dislocate his elbow? Geez that must have hurt! Considering he's little. Oh, and good idea about baptisms for the dead at the temple. That would be fun! I am so excited for this summer so I can see everybody.

Love,
Kaitlyn :)

Spring Break: Located in Navoo

Hi this is Aubrey! Me and my family just got back from Navoo yesterday. I am going to tell you all about it. First, on Thursday we left at 5:00 P.M and we drove for about 4hr. and got to Illinos. Then on Friday we drove 4 more hours and got to Carthridge. Then Chandler dislocated his elbow and had to go to the hospital at about 6:00 mom came to the hotel with chandler. ( As a hotel we stayed in this old historicas building that was called the Woodruff Hotel). While mom was gone with Chandler at the hospital, everyone else walked around the Navoo temple (which we had a great veiw from our hotel window!) Then when mom got back with Chandler we drove across the Mississippi river and went out to eat. Then Mom went to the store and got food for dinner the next day. Then we drove back to our hotel and got to watch some TV than we went to bed. On Saterday it was Reese's birthday and we got a huge cinammon roll that we all shared, it was delicious! Then we set out to the visitor center and we got tickets for that days events. We got tickets for a wagon ride and the show called Rendevous In Old Navoo, I'll tell you about that later. First we got to go to some houses.The coolest house I went to was the Bakery because it had the steepest staircase I ever saw! (and we got litte gingerbread cookies!) Then we went on the wagon ride it was fun and Reese fell asleep on my lap! Then we went to some little shops and homes. We went to the Family living Center and helped make some rope. We learned about candle making and bread making and we got to try some yummy bread! Then we went to the brick yard and we got a little brick that said Old Navoo on it! Then it was 5:00 and we went to the Joseph smith graveyard and we stood by Hyrums, Emmas, and Josephs grave and we took a picture and I'll put that picture on when my Mom downloads them onto the computer. At 7:50 we went to go to the show Rendevous In Old Navoo it was sad and funny at the same time! Just think of what the saints that were crossing the Mississippi thinking... Well I know they were thinking of how they were leaving their temple and they did not know that there temple would later be destroyed. But their work did not go to wast because of that temple they were sealed together as families and would be together forever. A story in the play we watched was about two lovebirds and one was named Abbygail and the other Peter. Abbygail came all the way to Navoo to come and get a pickle barrel. But she really wanted to come and see Peter so she came and saw each other and she said she could not marry him because she had been asked by someone named Ezra to marry her and she could not marry him because he believed in the Book of Mormon. So they argoued about how it is true and it is not true. Abbygail said that everyone were she lived said it was not true so Peter said " Has anyone even read it?" Abbygail replied "Umm, no." Then she said that Ezra said it was a bad book and Peter asked how he knew because Ezra can't read. Then Abbygail left and Peter started calling her back so she came back and said "Yes, Peter?" and he said "Don't forgot your pickle barrel!" Then she left and did not come back when he called. Later in the play Abbygail came back and said someone had left a copy of the Book of Mormon in her pickle barrel and she had read it and asked Peter why he did not tell her it was such a remarkable book and then Peter asked if she read it and she said right after she told Ezra she would not marry him so then she left with Peter when the saints left. (The End!) When my Grandma and Grandpa Hurley were in Navoo on their mission this is the part they played in this play. After that play we went back to the hotel and went to bed. On Sunday we got packed and went to the car and found a bunch of Easter Eggs in our seats! Then we took one last drive around Navoo and drove home.


I was wondering if mabey somtime next year we can all plan to come out on the same time and do babtisms for the dead in the Navoo temple and we could all hang out I hope we can do that! Well see you all in June! You too Jamie!
Love,
Aubrey

Hello from Jenessa

Well, I just got back from Europe last night, and now I'm at school. I'm the only one though...the others who got home at 11 with me are all still in bed. Lazy...or jetlagged? Both, but still, I'm at school. I'm doing fine. I think my body just went back to my time zone, after switching a ton on our flights back. I will write tons about what happened there, as well as post pictures, but for now, I am going to get caught up on stuff.

How about a Pie Chart for Pi Day? Don't Sell Yourself Short......GO EAT PIE!!!!!!

Shoulder Angel

Jenessa says "Au Revior"

Well, the big day is quickly approaching. I can't wait! I'm going to Europe in about two days. Today I need to pack, then tomorrow, I'm bringing everything to this shuttle we're taking to Vegas.
This morning it SNOWED! "Uh, hello, weather? This is March, and you're supposed to be sunny." Honestly.... But to top it off, I wore this really bright yellow shirt and flower, and all day, I've had compliments (or comments) on my shirt and how sunny and bright I am. And of course, now it's turning sunny, tough it's still cloudy. I was wearing these really awesome capris I like, but I changed because it was snowing, and I thought, "The weather is going to play a cruel trick on me" and it did, cause now it's sunny. Urgh!
Ooops, there's the bell. Gotta go!

March

Is March just as boring as February? Really? Oh, by the way this is Kaitlyn. OOOHH!!! The Hunger Games Movie comes out in 17 days. On the 23. I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!! I really wanna see it. I am not positive if I get to go, but I really want to. I saw the trailer. IT IS AWESOME!!! Oh, and I think I am doing this thing called, "Jr. Lashays" tomorrow. The Salem High School drill team are called the Lashays. So Amber (my bff) 's sister is a Lashay. I did it in September. It is where you learn 2 dance routines in 2 days and then you perform at either a football game or a basketball game. In September you do the Football, and March you do the Basketball. It's fun! See ya!

Hey, guess what?

Today is Platypus Day! Happy Platypus Day!
 

Kaitlyn is here

Hi. Jess, I am totally on your side. I like the FBI Agents. They keep telling other people that they are teachers. Okay, I have a sad story to tell. Okay so  I called the Salem City Library to see if they had Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (It is the second book in the Hunger Games Series) and the guy said they had one more copy left. So I went and looked for it and couldn't find it. I went up and asked, "Hey, I can't find Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins," and guess what he says? "Sorry, the last copy just got checked out about 2 minutes before you arrived." I was about to cry! I was so disappointed. Then I thought, Hey, Amber (my bff) was just finishing Hunger Games like me, and I am like, Hey, Amber may have checked it out. If she has it, I will scream!!! BYE

Yep, February is Month Boring

Hello to my humble peers from Jenessa. This month has been completely uneventful, and super busy, finished with a dose of boring. However, I have just a few things that may be of interest, despite the overall boring-ness of this month.
First off, 10 days left until I depart for Europe! How exciting is that? I cannot wait!!! I finally have an excuse to start planning what to pack and whatnot. I promise to have you all with me in spirit.
The Amazing Race, my favorite tv show of all time, kicked off last Sunday (well, the 19th), and I have FBI agents as an all-girl team (whoot-whoot, girls!).
This Friday, a Holocaust survivor is coming to our school to speak! His name is Stephen Nasser, and he wrote an award-winning book during his time in the camp called, "My Brother's Voice." It's a really good read, and I can't wait to hear about his story and what he has to say to us.
Nothing else is really going on.... On Thursday, I have to give this super-professional powerpoint called a proposal in  my language arts class, and we have to time each slide for 15 seconds and keep on time, not go over or under. We even have to dress fancy...ugh. I don't like dresses.
Oops, there's the bell. Gotta go to seminary.
Love you all!

Re: Dash

XOXOXO from Jess

Hey, guys! Just saying Happy Valentines day to you all.... Something embarrassing already happened to me. It's called a Singing Valentine (the school's choir groups go around and serenade students). And my oh-so-loving (please note: do not mistake sarcasm for appreciation) friends pitched in money to serenade me "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars in German...yach! Embarrassing! And to top it all off, two of my friends caught it all on tape. And I kid you not, my face was deep red, and I couldn't look anyone in the eye. So, once my friend sends me the video, I'm going to upload it so all you can enjoy my discomfort.
Also, some great news-kind of-is that I just got my realitybaby. Yikes. Her name is Lily, and she's a little black baby. She weighs 7.5 pounds and is 19 inches long. She woke me up 12 times since 9 PM last night. She's only cried once so far at lunch, to get her diaper changed. I made some videos and I'll upload them so you can see me take care of my baby.

Kristy & Joseph do Kid History 8

Guess what? Uncle Joseph and I got tickets to the premiere of Kid History 8! It is showing March 2. After we go I'll tell you all about it! xoxo from AZ

Jess is Jumping with Joy

How's that for an alliteration? Anyways, Kaitlyn beat me to it: she posted on our weekend first. I was so excited last night when my mom called and told me that Marissa and Kaitlyn could come down for the weekend. I cannot wait! I only have...3 and a half hours until I get to meet them, and Grandma, and, obviously, my mom. I just can't wait!

Anyways, have a good day, all! I know I will!

Kaitlyn Is Excited!!!

Hi this is Kaitlyn, as you can tell by the title. I am excited! (also as you can tell by the title) Well, Collin and I have school in about half an hour, and Marissa's class started at 8. Collin is the only one going to school today. Marissa and I get to skip school because at 10 am Grandma is coming to pick me and Marissa up. Wanna know why? Because we are going down to St. George to visit Trey, Jess, and Kristy. We will have so much fun. I don't yet know exactly what we are doing, but I will tell you when I get back. I will be back on Sunday. Bye!

Jenessa Decides to Write Again

Okay, I've been out of action for a looooong time. I have so much to say, and only...4 minutes to say it. Needless to say that during my lunchtime the next few days, I know where I'll be. So, as I've said, lots has happened. The saddest thing by far is that I am no longer in auto shop. That's okay; I go visist Mr. Cooper. In fact, today, I'm leaving fit for life early with my friend and we're going to pop in. I hope it's a shop day, otherwise it will be awkward to walk in and try and talk.
Let's see...I've celebrated over 4 birthdays this month, family members only. I've applied for my passport and it should show up any day now. I have too much homework and too little time.
Hey, for the readers of this blog, you know how it's hard to keep track of what you read and what you want to read (shoot, the bell just rang!) Well, visit goodreads.com....and I'll explain more tomorrow. Bye!

Marissa is a Great Artist

Alright, I tried to publish this earlier, but the file was so big that it crashed our server. So I had to separate this into 2 posts. You can find the pictures below and read this if you want to know the stories behind each piece of artwork. These are in order of least favorite to favorite.

The semester is over and I no longer have art class anymore. I'm so sad! It was my first art class ever and so fun! Anyways, here is some info about the art that I made while I was in that wonderful class.

11. For this assignment, we were supposed to trace a model and design an outfit for them using certain color schemes. For this one, I chose to do analogous colors, which means using 3 or 4 colors that are next to eachother in the color wheel.

10. This was our bell work. We got this out at the beginning of every day and worked on it for about 10 min. before we worked on our assignment. We had a piece of paper that said what to draw on each square and we didn't know what it was supposed to be until it was almost done.

9. This was from the same assignment as #11. I like this dress better though. This coor scheme was called monochromatic, which means it's just one color that's darker and lighter.

8. This was bell work #2. It took a lot longer than the first one. I had no clue what it was until it was completely finished. I'm still not sure, though. It appears to be a man with a sword riding a horse, but the rest of it is just a bunch of grey.

7. For this one, we used a grid to transfer a car onto our paper and use patterns and transition to decorate it. You can find transition in the windows and the background, and the pattern are... everything else. My scanner wasn't big enough to scan the whole thing, but you get the idea.

6. Often times in art, I finish assignments early and have a day where I do nothing. There was a pumpkin art contest at our school, so I decided to enter while a lot of the other students caught up on thier other work. I sketched a couple of ideas and chose my favorite eyes, mouths, and noses. I drew my design on one of the pre-made pumpkins and then traced it onto another piece of paper so that I could draw the cape on. For the contest, there was one winner from each grade, one overall winner, and five honorable mentions. I won an honorable mention, happiness, and a really big Snicker's bar.

5. This is Santa. Ho ho ho. This took about 2 weeks to do. It's definately the longest time it's taken me to do any of these. The teacher drew him up on the board and we drew along with him on our own pieces of paper, and then painted it with watercolor. I'm actually not very good at watercolor. Everyone else's were all crisp and clean while my colors ran together out of the lines that took a week to draw. But it ended up looking nice, so whatever.

4. This is an ornament, in case you couldn't tell, and I made it with dots, in case you couldn't tell. It has every color of the rainbow (yes even green and orange, look closer) plus pink and black.

3. For the last week of art, we worked on cartooning and we had to come up with our own cartoon. So I made this amazing bunny. Aaaaaawww... Isn't he cute? Yes, yes he is. *Sigh* I wish I had a real bunny, only I wouldn't have to clean out its cage.

2. This was my first time using real watercolor paper and a accidentally used the wrong side. Oops... I just wanted to use the smooth side, okay? Anyways, I arranged the leaves on the paper and traced them ever so delicately and painted them with some of the best watercolor painting skills ever seen, and finally decorated it using my world-famous calligraphy. I'm exagerating a little, but still, I think it turned out really good, and that is why it is #2.

1. Lo and behold, my most amazing artwork I've ever made ever. We had to draw this for Veteran's Day. (Yay veterans!) It took a long time and a lot of hard work, but I did it. And no, I didn't trace anything. I wasn't allowed to. It took 2 days to draw the outline, and then 4 days to draw the inside, and 2 more days to draw the grass and flag background. This is by far the artwork I am most proud of.

Well, that's all my art from school. I hope that you liked it!

Love, Marissa

Marissa is a Great Artist

Defeating boredom

Hi this is Allison here with a couple of tips on how to defeat boredom. But first I have to define the five signs of boredom so that you know when to use the tips on defeating boredom.
Five signs of boredom-and tips to help
1) You are not doing anything that you consider a hobby or fun.
This is a sure sign that you are either bored or going to be. DUH! You're not doing anything.
2) You're spaced out and frequently have to ask a person to repeat themselves because you weren't listening to what they were saying.
If you can't listen what the person is saying whatever they are saying is boring. If they're talking about the last six episodes of star trek you need to tell them to find something that will benifit their life.
3)You are tired.
Go to bed.
4)Nothing that you usually do appeals to you.
No comment.
5)TV isn't fun to watch.
Go on the computer, something's sure to intrest you there. Or you could go to sleep, or eat, something that doesn't take up energy.
I'm not sure if these are very helpful, but you may take them into your mind anyway. So, Aubrey tried to help me with the spelling words for our school spelling bee yesterday and prounounced malevolent as man-violence. I still can't get over it. Oh,and here's a picture I drew on Paint when I got bored yesterday-

Well, Bye!-Allison:D

Grandmas Pictures

Hi! Hillary here. Grandma sent us a CD with some pictures on it so I wanted to share the best of the best!!

Grandpa Gale and Ethan chop chop chopping down our ugly pine tree...I kind of miss it!

CRAZY KIDS!

Allison and Aubrey were helping rake leaves and carry them to our leaf burning pile and Chandler was having a blast riding in the leaf bucket!

We took Grandma and Grandpa to a field where the Wright Brothers practiced flying. They would lay on their bellies on their airplane then catapult it into the air (they didn't know yet how to get it into the air.) They crashed many many times!! They liked this field because it was hidden by a bunch of trees and they didn't like spectators or a lot of questions.

Reese is going to be 2 in April. He is a very sensitive cuddly little boy. If someone sits on the floor he will instantly plop right into their lap, usually bringing a book with him. He is kind of a scardy cat and is afraid of getting off the kitchen chairs by himself, animals, and his new electric toothbrush. (It was FREE with coupons!) Reese LOVES FRUIT! Like when we eat dinner, he would rather just have applesauce and nothing else. If you put chicken nugget and a kiwi in front of him, he'd choose the kiwi. He is getting so big, him and Chandler share clothes now!

Aubrey is a tree hugger!

I wonder what Leo is thinking...insert caption HERE.

Spencer is throwing gang signs...what a rebel!

This is Jack Jack. Next year for Halloween he's going to be a Jack in the Box. Or a Jack Hammer. or Jack and Jill. or a Jack O Lantern. (We have fun with his name.) His name is Jack Christian because we couldn't name him Jack Mormon hahaha. He is a really really good baby! He is 3 months old TODAY and super smiley. He is pretty easy to fix. Like when he cries, we feed him, change his poopy diaper (he hates those), or put him to bed and he's fixed! Easy kid to please! Chandler and Reese love his toys, his swing, his bouncer, his bed...they think all of those things are for them and totally take over if Jack is not occupying them at the moment.

Chandler is the life of the party. He is super active, all boy. Gets into trouble, has 2 year old fits, puts his stuffed animals in time out, and climbs out of his crib 5 times before he will actually fall asleep. He says so many new words every day. His new favorite phrase is "Alright then." He loves cutie oranges and MEAT. Definitely a carnivore!

We miss you guys and love hearing about what you're doing!
P.S. Look what else I have...Spencer when he was so teeny tiny. Look how small he is!!
