Happy Halloween

We carved our pumpkin today and Josh loved it. I mean what boy wouldn't love to get dirty and gross on Mommy's permission? this is the out come from that fun. Eric slept the whole time and mommy took pictures and stayed away from the pumpkin guts and was is called a back seat carver to daddy. But it was a lot of fun and we look forward to trick or treating to night. I just love making memories with my boys.
I hope every one has a safe and fun Halloween to night!

Halloween fun

Today was Josh's Halloween party and he wore his costume to school he was so excited to put paint on his face and take cup cakes to his class. When I took the pictures he kept saying cheeeeeese. He sure looked cute. Next year I'm going to have to get him a new costume but for the last three years he has made the most adorable pumpkin.

My four month old

While we were in UT Eric turned four months old, shed a tear. He is getting so big.
We started him on rice cereal because he started to nurse every hour and a half and I just couldn't keep up. He is doing very well feeding him with a spoon. We are just so thankful to have him and Josh they are the greatest boys no bias. Hope everyone is doing well.

Family Trip to Salt Lake

Our family took a trip to Salt Lake for the marriage of one of my cousins. The salt lake Temple is particularly special to us because a little over five years ago Jason and I were married there. We made a whole day of temple square. We started the day out by doing a seven o'clock session. Then the sealing and pictures. Then we were free till the after noon to go on top of the conference center and see the four acres of gardens they have up there. Its really big. then we saw the new family history library it was just opened the day before Eric was born, and the Joseph Smith Memorial. I love that building so beautiful and the observation deck. Then the lunch in which was yummy and finally a break till the reception. It was a very long day but full of family and fun.

On Saturday we saw Jason's friend and his wife and had lunch with them at the Cheese cake factory and spent some time with them and then headed over to visit my old room mate and her family. Even though Thursday was full of driving and Friday was full of Family stuff and Saturday was full of visiting Friends and Sunday back to driving all the way home the boys were wonderful through it all. They were so patient with us. I have some really wonderful boys. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

busy busy

This last weekend we went to Folsom to celebrate my birthday and to take updated family pictures since in the last four months Jason's side of the family has changed so much by adding two babies in one month. We took the pictures in this cute pumpkin patch and since having a baby tends to put a lot of extra weight in certain places I have been kicking my but for the last two months to try and slim that down a little. I have seen the pictures and everyone looks great!
We had fun celebrating my birthday wow 25 years old. My favorite part was listening to Josh sing happy birthday to me and then helping me blow out my candles. We then dressed the boys in their costumes and took pictures it was a lot of fun. Josh and Eric look so cute in their pumpkin and pea pod costumes and so dose Dilyn in his little horse Costume. I hope every one had a great weekend.

I had Eric playing in his jumper today when Josh walked up and told me that it was his turn to play with the jumper. It made no difference to him that he is almost four years old and that he is way to big for the jumper, it was still his turn so I took Eric out and Josh jumped in with some help because if he had tried to get in by himself he would have fallen on his head. This is what happens when you try to satisfy both kids and rid your self of possible jealousy so the experts say.

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.
