March Madness (not the basketball kind)

And...we started off the month rollin'! Kelton and his friend Emery at their first mini-concert! His first words to me after the concert was, "I squeaked once and no one looked at me weird!" He was so nervous and did great! 

 Let's head out to the Doctors office, all ready and squished up to go. Having Idaho winter babies, the fun.

Middle of the night..."well...hello there! I have nothing going on, and you?!" 

While Daddy and Kyle went snowboarding, Mommy and Aunt Courtney headed to Leo's Place (food, arcade and play place) for some wiggle time. The boys scored HUGE and Chase got 500 tickets one time and then a 100, and then Taelin got 100 too! Score! We all shared and got swords to play with, even got uncle Kyle one too! 

 Love the wubbanub! 

 Uncle Corey took Kelton out to Kiwi Loco and quote, "I got as much as I wanted!" 

 Namesake: Kyle Choffin with Dax Kyler Jansen  

 For mom's birthday, all of us girls met in SLC, UT for a temple trip, lunch, shopping, and more food. :) We walked around Temple Square. Don't mind the horible picture- we're just pro's at taking bad photos. haha! 

The many faces of Dax. All within 30 seconds. This kid cracks us up! 

Evan loves the bunny. And she loves him. When we let her out, he'll just sit on the floor and within minutes she's sniffing around him and letting him lay or semi-squish her. 

I feel so blessed to have these wonderful boys! I love that they love each other. Makes a mama's heart go 'round. 

This is one of my favorite pictures. Its when Kelton feels so comfortable holding a new baby. I love it. 

Figuring it all Out February 2014

Dax Kyler Jansen is our world right now!

 Kelton, my sweet sweet 9 year old, just jumped in a tried real quick to help out. He was sweet, tender and kind to do everything he could. Even with a tiny new born and all their tiny legs, arms, etc. He was wonderful to try and did an awesome job! Changed his first diaper! What an amazing older brother we have! (all the kids were great with him) 

 Sleeps just like his namesake, uncle Kyle Choffin...open mouth and all! 

 Getting used to life without other adults in the house means puzzles on mommy's bed! Mommy might have closed her bedroom door and locked him in while shutting her eyes for a moment...maybe. 

Taelin is into writing these amazing notes for people, I found this one that I'm sure she had written in the Fall. I love that she calls my mom Grandma Ladybug (something my mom had mentioned that she was called by her grma). 

My kids all matched one morning getting ready for school and instead of running and changing, they all just wore it. Tiny miracle in our house! Love the uniforms! 

 Talea's patriotic concert! 

 Oh the ceiling fan is an amazing thing. What joys we find and what smiles it gets. All of our firsts for sure.

 I was feeling a bit of cabin fever, so we invited Chase's Temple View friends over for a Valentines Day Party. He misses these kiddos so darn much! 

We miss uncle Corey living here. So...we ride him like a horse for 8 seconds. oh wait...isn't that a bull? 

 We're loving us some OLYMPICS over in here! Chase would sit riveted right in front of the TV and watch, point and gasp over every sport. This kid has it in his blood! He loves dangerous things! 

Mr. Dax and all his firsts (punky) 

 Evan and his friend Jack. Evan needed some desperate play time with a friend. These two are 4 weeks apart. 

 Courtney took some family pictures while she was here helping with Dax and all the other stuff (she literally did EVERYTHING except Dax, which was so nice to not even have to worry). 

Welcome Baby Dax! 1-14-14

Waiting for Baby to come, so mommy and evan were playing around on the couch (walking just hurts at this point). FIRST baby EVER to come on time! at 3:30 am on 1/14/14 I started contractions and literally, they were super hard and constant. We headed to the hospital around 7 am. 

I'll upload the birth story in a bit (enter it here). We came out with a beautiful (but very green) sweet baby boy, who finally got named.....

        

           

 One night at dinner, evan decided that a huge box of Fishy Crackers worked, and mommy didn't argue. As long as he had something in his belly. :)

 Corey and Katey lived with us for the month of January while they went between work here (for her) and Twin Falls and moving it all here in February. We really enjoyed having the extra play mates for Evan during the day, and it was nice to sit up and talk at night when Courtney was here too. Love my family!
