The boys loving the swimming pool, and so many people to jump into! Kelton was so proud that he could touch the bottom and didn't need anyone. The best part of all, was having Grandma and Grandpa Johnson there to visit with! It was SO good to see them, Talea was literally jumping up and down for half the day...we love you guys so much! Already missing you!
While Kelton was having his preschool lesson, and Taelin was sleeping, Chase and I got to play. I think he's the cutest running around...so sometimes I kicked the ball just to watch his cute little body run!
So, yesterday I got a call, and yes after a week, the hotel found my camera! Yahoo! I knew it was there...and now I am so happy! Thank you Judy for offering a replacement, I was almost ready to come on over. But, by tomorrow we should have some more creative interest instead of just my words! :)
Kelton was lagging most of the day, but didn't seem to be totally different. Figured it was just sleep. My kids have been thrown for a loop with this daylight savings time thing. I had cable guy here from 1:00-2:00ish, another dsl guy here to get all of his stuff from 2:00ish to 3:00 and so I escaped to the basement to watch the boys as they worked around Karl (the guy finishing our basement). That's why I didn't have someone that I didn't know, it's too creepy thinking about some weirdo downstairs when I have to jump in the shower (since sometimes it doesn't happen until 11:00 or so).
Kelton asked me to put something closer to his eyes so he could read (i mean really close), so I think he might need glasses. Chase loves to cook lately, so he always sits on the counter next to me, but lately he's been climbing the pantry shelves for oreos. He was yelling yesterday, "maaa! daak (dark) ere (here)!" yeah...then begged for oeos.
Taelin pooped like 6 times, and is still teething. That girl keeps growing and growing too.
I've been planning some crafts with a couple of my friends to pass out to our families for christmas time. I guess I won't go into detail b/c there might be people reading this that will get things! :) Let's just say a lot of planning and workin' things out for one night of "gettin things done!"
Later that night Kelton was up throwing up, I was up until 2:30, and took a nap till 4:00, and then I think he was over the worst of it. He's just not a "loud" vomitter, so its scary to think that he could choke and we would never know! :)
So, an average day in my life. Not to mention, cleaning, cooking, naps, diapers, school work and managing the caios of fighting children and being a good wife. Wew....raise your hands if you think you need a vacation (but would know that everything at home would be taken care of without having the guilt of leaving and not sure what you will come home to!) :)
Lovin' every minute of it!

Taelin is getting too big lately! She loves to crawl all around the house, especially the kitchen. Her favorite now is to get up in standing positions all around the house and get "stuck" since she can't get down.
Yes, they are doing yoga with me! The love generating that psychic heat! :) 
Painting pumpkins this year...too cold to do carvings (they just cave in and curl). And this way...NO KNIVES! Chase's ended up pink and blue and kelton's completely black.
Chase at Kelton's preschool field trip, riding misty. He was so excited he said his first sentence ever, "ma, doe see hoose, now!"
Kelton riding Misty. When he was asked if he'd ever ridden a horse before, his reply was, ...but bigger ones!" He even relaxed his left arm dropped on his side with the right arm on the horn. My little cowboy!
(p.s. the towel is for their allergies, instead of undressing and baggin clothes, just bring a towel to do the trick!)
Last time I was proud of my "gardening", and wrote the title as "getting my gardener on", Jake thought that that was meaning I was "getting it on with a gardener"....anyone agree?!? Those who know me might know that I am just a tad bit naive, but I wanted that to mean that I was getting my gardener grove on. Tell me what you think!!! (I know there are secret people out there that visit this blog but never leave comments...)
So, I've been canning lately, my first year all by myself without my mom's wisdom/hand. So, without too many mistakes, applesauce with my friend Danielle on Saturday and today and Salsa with my friend Kristy a couple of weeks ago and then today by myself. I'm very happy to say that I have actually eaten these things and they aren't too bad! Kinda cool.
All for now, Vanessa
Loved this website that shares the healthy foods that really aren't...and those that we steer clear from that are alright. Yay for Bacon!!

Sorry, the photobucket wouldn't load it after I added the text. I"ll do it up above!
Since Mom, Dad and the clan are in Sacramento, visiting Uncle Chas and family; Lindsay needed someone to watch Rylin so that she could go to classes. She's taking a full load of classes, so we got to hang out with Rylin for 3 fun days. Monday, Rylin came to us, and then on Wedneday and Thursday we went to them, and spent the night. It was funny to see Rylin and Taelin interact. And when Lindsay got home, it was sooooo good to be able to sit down and talk to her alone, something we haven't done in a while.
