family pics

Thanksgiving

This year our family drove over to Fresno to spend Thanksgiving with my parents and brothers. It was a lot of fun and while there we braved black Friday and went to Sears to take family pictures. It was fun and we got a couple of cute pics. We also saw Mrs. Clause she came to sing and play with the little kids. Josh loved the musical instruments she let the kids play with after our visit with Mrs. Claus we found a Carousel for Josh to play on. We also spent some time at the Fresno Temple grounds, it looks a lot like the Reno temple they also have a park right next to it where we could play Frisbee and just spend some quality time together as a family. Hope everyone had a fabulous holiday of thanks giving.

Five months

Josh our comedian and Eric our gentle giant.


I'm not really sure what happened to all the time but Eric turned five months old yesterday. My beautiful baby now weighs seventeen pounds and can almost sit up all by himself. We just love having Eric in our family he is so sweet and calm. We also love having Josh in our family, his easy going personality helps to rid our selves of life's everyday stress. Jason and I are some of the luckiest parents to have these two wonderful boys in our home.

Kjar Family Pics

Back in October we took some family pics due to the fact that there were two new additions back in June. I'm hoping to take some new pics of the Moore side this Thanksgiving. The joys of a growing family.

Jason's Birthday

Today is Jason's Birthday.
I decided to try and decorate
a cake for him I'm defiantly
not a professional but I think
it turned out okay.
I hope he likes it.
Happy Birthday Jason!

just having fun

Josh was being his usual goofy self yesterday when I was finishing up on the boys scrap books and I found a pose I just couldn't resist.

Weight loss Wednesday

what I did for exercise this week.
cardio, weight training, hiking, walking, not to mention carrying a sixteen pound four month old around. My pants are fitting better. Three weeks ago I had to squeeze my self into them now they fit perfect.
my long term goals loose 25 more ponds and fit back into my pre pregnancy size eight pants. watch what I'm eating I'm still nursing so I can't really diet but I can control how many calories I eat. For me loosing weight is doing some of the same things over and over again. I'm happy to see progress.
hope everyone else saw progress this week.

Hiking trip to Davis Lake

We finally had a free weekend so we decided to go hiking at Davis lake it was cold but a lot of fun. Josh had fun hiking up the hill all by himself. Eric spent the hole time sleeping. Here are some pictures from our trip

During Eric's Dr's visit the Dr. suggested that Eric was ready for veggies this is after Eric's first experience with green beans. His brother also tried it and reacted the same way he had when he was a baby spitting it out. He then looked at me and asked me why I was feeding nasty stuff to baby Eric.

Eric's four month check up

I just got back from the Dr.s and while I was at the Dr's office they did your regular check ups weight, height, head and just for a little recap from the last time Eric was at the Dr's for his two month check up he was at that time, for weight he was 11 lbs and 2 oz and 22 1/2 inches long his head was in the 10th percentile which at the time I thought was just funny that put him squarely in the 50th percentile for his age. today's visit changed that. Today Eric weighed 15lbs and 13oz just shy of 16lbs that put his weight in the 70th percentile he gained 2 inches which keeps him in the 50th percentile for height and this is the kicker his head is now in the 70th percentile. So now I have a chunky baby with a big head. Eric is doing very well and will now be starting veggies he mastered the spoon when he started rice cereal so Eric is a very healthy boy. Josh Started to drink the Ensure drinks to help him pick up a few pounds and get the essential nutrients that he is not getting so I hope at his next visit with the Dr. I can be pleased with his growth as well.

costumes

Did I ever mention that I love the month of October it is the start of monthly fun all the way till January for us. With birthdays, Halloween, more birthdays, Thanksgiving, more birthdays, Christmas and more birthdays. Granted the birthdays in our family never seem to stop we have a birthday in almost every month in the immediate family. Anyways I just thought I would post some of the pictures from Saturday's trick or treat fun. Josh was really excited and Eric was , well Eric was a four month old who could care less that his Mommy was putting him yet again in a funny costume, but both boys looked so cute and we did have a really fun time watching Josh trick or treat. He even was brave enough to go right up to the door of the Joker's house from Batman. He said "Trick or treat" waited for his candy then said "Thank you" and very cautiously walked away. Now that just makes a Mother proud. I hope everyone had as much fun as we did.
