Look what Eric can do.

Eric is getting so big he can now sit up supported by the back. Josh wanted to help him sit up. Enjoy the pictures of my two most handsome boys in the world.

Eric is three months old today

Can you believe it? My baby is three months old. Time is going way to fast for me, it feels like only yesterday I was just finding out I was expecting and now not only has my baby been born he is three months old and starting to grab things and smile and laugh at us. It has been a pleasure being the Mommy to Josh and Eric they are the sweetest boys and have made mine and Jason's lives so much fuller.

Canning and yard work

okay so anyone who has seen our backyard kinda knows why we needed to purchase more dirt to put back there, and for those who have not seen our back yard it needs to be leveled out. Well we have been saving to do our backyard for a while and next spring we'll finish it up. My very ambitious husband discovered that he could save by purchasing the dirt he needed now rather than in the spring so he went ahead and bought 12 yards of dirt. Mean while I'm canning tomato's like crazy because once again my ambitious husband planted six tomato plants which I love. So while he is wheeling dirt to the back yard I have been canning spaghetti sauce and tomato paste. Which by the way uses a lot of tomatoes if you have a lot to use. Eric has been sleeping like an angel and Josh has been busy doing what every little boy would do, playing in the dirt. Lots of good times at the Kjar house.

Spending time with family

Eric was born three weeks after his cousin Dilyn and this weekend was the first time that we were able to get the cousin's together. I did spend time with my parents but getting them in front of a camera can be difficult so all my pictures are of Jason's side. we went back to the river and had fun, but mostly we just had fun watching the babies and Josh.

Eric's Blessing

We blessed Eric on Sunday and were surrounded by family. it turned out to be a very special day and one to always remember.

To cute not to post!

I just wanted to post some cut pictures of Eric and Josh that were taken over the weekend. The hat by the way that Josh is wearing is actually the top to the pinata that was used at the ward activity Saturday.

First day of school

Today was Josh's first day back to school. We had to put Josh in School last spring when we found out that he had a speech delay and that Preschool would help him. well it did help last spring and he has the same teacher again this year and she is the best. What is really special this year is that Josh has a friend in his class this year and we really look forward to the fun he will have learning and progressing.

my boys

Just wanted to post some fun pictures of the boys Eric has learned to smile at us frequently and I finally caught it on camera. Josh just likes to goof around these days. Thats about all I can get him to do on camera.
Enjoy and hope you are all doing well.

Family Vacation to the ocean

My parents live in Fresno now, they are your typical gypsy couple not by choice I might add but, since Jason and I have been married they have moved from Sparks to St. George now to Fresno. Any ways Jason and I had not visited them in CA so we decided to go and visit them before school started for Jason and Josh. Friday on the way to Fresno our passenger window was blown out all over me I might add that happened in Stockton I am now not a fan of Stockton since windows do not normally blow out except with extreme force. So if paying for tuition was not already killing our wallets a new window helped add to it. Saturday My parents took us to the ocean. That was so cold! but a lot of fun, Josh had never seen the ocean before and his first glimpse at it he was immediately happy and said oh Nana look at the snow! We jumped waves while we were there and saw dolphins swimming near by, built a sand castle and tried not getting sand all over Eric while I nursed him. All together it was a great trip. During the drive we saw miles and miles of produce growing it was truly a sight to see for a bunch of desert people. After spending a day at the beach we drove over to Monterrey for clam chowder Jason was so lucky he got to eat his three favorite foods at the restaurant, Clam chowder, Salmon and Cheese cake not a bad trip I might say. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us come!

Eric's two month check up

Eric had his two month check up today and boy where has the time gone?
I knew my boy was big but I don't think I could have ever guessed Eric's weight and height. He weighed in at 11lbs and 2oz and 22 1/2 inches long. This places Eric in the 50th percentile for height and weight. The funny thing is his head was in the 10th percentile. I think he is one of the most adorable little guys not quite as laid back as his older brother but still pretty easy going. Jason and I feel so blessed to have the best boys for us.

Fun with my boys

Jason and I took the boys to the river again on Saturday and just had a good time. After some sun burns and lots of water we were really grateful to spend the time together. Eric has gotten pretty big in the last week I had to pull out the 3-6 month clothes since he is getting to long for the 0-3 month stuff. It has been so much fun looking through all the old baby clothes. The hat Eric is wearing fit Josh when he was 12 months old. I keep asking myself are these really brothers? They are so different already.

Celebrating Five wonderful years of marriage.

Five Great Years

It's been five years since Jason and I were married. It has been the most wonderful five years of my life. I was blessed to marry the most understanding, gentle and patient man I know. He blessed me with two beautiful sons and has worked very hard to provide a living for us while going to school. I give thanks to the Lord for guiding me to him and to the Parents who raised this amazing man.
In the last five years we have been busy: in a nut shell,

Second year, Josh was born, moved into a bigger apartment, more school.
Third year, juggled parent hood, purchased a condo, sold condo, purchased a house, laid off of Job acquired a business. More School
Fourth year, built up our business, Jason was called as the head help people move out of our ward specialist. More School.
Fifth year, conceived Eric, Sold Business, Jason working as general manager for the man who purchased our business, I graduate, a nephew is born, Eric is born. More school for Jason.

I love our lives it has been a real learning experience everyday that we have been married. I really look forward to the future with this amazing man who I feel blessed to have love me in return.
Happy Anniversary Jason.

Eric

I just love how big Eric is getting, When you start life out at 5 lbs it really is amazing when just seven weeks later you are almost 10 lbs. I love my little chubby boy. My friend gave us some clothes for Eric and one of them was this adorable pair of pants with Elmo on the back. Josh who loves Elmo noticed them first and pointed out that Elmo was on Eric's bum bum. Josh's vocabulary has improved a great deal since school let out. I'm so pleased with his efforts with speech and I think his teacher will be too. I just love being the mother of these two amazing boys. They keep my life busy and enjoyable.

Josh

Okay my father inlaw would appreciate this stunt of Josh's. I was in my bedroom trying to put Eric down for his nap when I heard Josh saying go away bee so I came out to investigate and this is what I found. Josh is getting much better at climbing. He sure takes after his parents I just wish I was small enough to climb the fireplace too.

My boys at six weeks

I wanted to see why every one was telling me that my two boys look so alike when I saw how different they looked so I placed the pictures of my boys side by side. You can tell they're brothers but the biggest difference is that one was skinny and the other is very chunky. It sure is fun to look back when Josh was only Six weeks old.

He did it again.

Well after the last time Josh colored all over my walls you would think he wouldn't attempt a stunt like that again but, I've discovered that my boy learns very slowly and is a wonderful artist that just can't be regulated. Yesterday it was not my walls neither was it with pen those by the way are in exile after the wall incident. It was with crayon and my kitchen floor. Now you must be thinking I'm an irresponsible Mom since he has coloring books and paper and I give them to him to use all the time and he still colors on my house instead. You may also be saying keep them out of his reach and it wont happen. Well my comment to that is he finds a way to get to them. Yesterday he pushed the high chair over to the fridge and climbed up and got the crayons off the top of the fridge while I was in the other room nursing his brother. I did learn my lesson from last time I made him clean it all up. Thank goodness for washable crayons and a tiled floor. Now I really need to find a way to keep my little artist satisfied so that he dose not try another decorating stunt. Any ideas?
Oh and just a little picture of Eric he really is so cute.

Eric

My friends through a baby shower for me this weekend but thanks to father sons also being this weekend I gave Jason the camera and I have no pictures of the baby shower. Which by the way was so much fun. Karla gave me the CD of pictures that she took of Eric when he was six days old and they are beautiful but of course I have to say that because he is my son but they really are beautiful. Thanks again Karla you are the best.
