The joys of being a parent ahhh..I thought this was the silliest thing. He climbs up on the counter while I am not looking and as you can see he is very excited about it. Can you blame him? He found himself some soda pop that was up for grabs...and crackers and chips WOWZER! You can forget all about the sippy cup. Lol At least he plopped himself near the center of the counter instead of next to the edge to make my heart skip a beat!

The Magical World of Warcraft

Some of you may or may not know by now that I am a fan of this game called World of Warcraft. I am addicted and like to think that I am somewhat good at it. I first began playing this game because my brother (kudos to him) suggested that my husband purchase the game. Well, we did but much to my husbands dismay I would play his character while he was at work and then when he got home I did not want to log off to let him play! This resulted in two accounts and two computers! Anyway, my whole reason for this post is show the world and everyone in it what a nerd I actually am. I collect pets in the game. Lookit my cute lil pengu awwww he's so adorable.

Anyway, Off I go to my magical place :) Happy Hunting!
Sincerely,

Firsts

Well this was a first for me. Waking up to the phone ringing...no that wasnt the first...but the information the person had for me. It was my dad. He says.."Jen, now who did you get mad at you? What did you do?" I was flabberghasted at this question and then asked what he meant by asking me that! He then said "well, look out your window dear". So I crawl out of bed and squinting into the sunshine look out the window on Thanksgiving morning to find our very first TOILETPAPER JOB! You heard it. We got Toilet Papered. I found it rather hillarious. Jake was not so pleased to say the least. I think they could've done a lot worse. What do you think?

Can you believe it!?

So today is the day. Chandler is now officially 8 years old today and nearly a man (well, almost). If you ask me, time flies by way too fast. It seems that it was just a week ago that I was holding him for the first time in my arms and couldn't be a happier parent. Chandler has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. He has brought me joy and happiness, confusion and clarity. On top of making me a better person all in all he has grown to be such a great person and makes me feel that I have done the best by what he has become so far. He is so brilliant, his schoolwork never slacks and almost seems too easy for him. His classmates adore him. He is incredibly helpful to them and his younger siblings. His brotherly love is astounding and I can only hope that he continues to grow and be such a fantastic example for his fellow beings.

Chandler you have brought so much sunshine into our lives. You are a wonderful son! I honestly can't believe how amazing you are. I continue to watch you grow and it only makes me wonder more about God and how great He is for giving you to us. It almost seems impossible with how much you have taught me, that I think you are teaching me more, rather than the other way around. I hope you realize how much I love you. I can only emphasize what a great blessing you are to me. You honestly made me grow up. You helped me realize that motherhood is so important and I couldn't ask for anything better than that. I am so blessed to have you in my life and I thank God every day for how smart you are and how fun and loving you are. I look forward to watching you grow and learn more. Thank you for being you!

On a lighter note and not so gushy here are some things about Chandler that I am sure everyone needs to know!

~Chandler likes to read and he does so very well even though Recess is his favorite part of the school day.

~Chandler likes to play baseball

~His favorite food for dinner is Shepherds pie, Mexican lasagna, Chicken and Rice and Cottage Cheese and Pears

~Favorite color is Red

~Favorite show on T.V. is Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman

~He aspires to be a master builder someday, at least that was what it was this morning ;)

~His favorite superhero is Spiderman!

~Free time is spent on the computer playing an assortment of games or playing on the PS2 with his father.

t-t-t-taday juniah

Well today was certainly a rather busy day. Lastnight I started sorting through one of our many closets that we have just been throwing clothes in that the kids have grown out of. There ended up being 8 boxes of clothes that we didn't need at all. I began to call around the ward and asking if there were people that needed new baby clothes or other baby items. There was a baby swing, infant carseat, bouncy chair, and a busy chair (for lack of the real word)and a bassinette.

We honestly don't plan on making anymore babies anytime soon. I know I know why should we stop when we make them so beautiful right? If we ever have more it will be after we can get on our feet completely. After we have finished school and once we can get into another house to settle permanently.

Anyway, I called around and found two moms that could take some of this stuff off my hands and I now only have 3 boxes of clothes left to give away a baby swing and the bassinette. On top of cleaning out the closet (somewhat, I am still hoping to get rid of more!) I really felt like I was able to help someone that needed it and would appreciate it. As of late I haven't felt like I have been doing enough and this certainly perked up my day. Who ever said getting rid of your old things was a sad thing?! Not me that's for sure!

For Your Information

Hello all,
Figured we would put an update up of what seems to be going on around here and hoping for a bit more of a brainstorm. So if anyone has any ideas please feel free let me know what you are thinking.
As far as we have planned we figure that if I can get a job at University of Phoenix we will go there because it would be better for me to get my schooling done and out of the way and just rent something in the meantime. Hoping that a job there will help with tuition fees.Other thoughts (still somewhat in the thinking process) are selling the house and finding a job in the Salt Lake or surrounding areas and renting there. We thought about trying to be apartment managers if we could, then that way if we had not sold the house we still would only be making one housing payment instead of two.We are currently in the process of looking for work up in the Salt Lake area and putting in applications. So if you see any houses for cheap rent, Let us know! or if there are any places that would need us for management since Jen stays home most of the time she would be able to handle that during the day while I am at work and school.I do plan to go back to school and finish my degree in Computer Science and currently only have my associates. That's all we have been able to come up with so far, that I can think of at the moment anyway. Love you all! Thank you for the prayers and the thoughts, they all count.
