Jet’s 4 Month Check-Up

Little monkey is doing fabulous! Dotctor said the birth mark on his leg that I was worried about  is perfectly normal. Yay. She also said he has super good head control for his age and that he can start solids! Ahhhhh Jet is going to love to try new veggies and fruits. Doc said to stick to veggies first so that he doesn’t only want sweet stuff all the time. I’m so excited to give him his first food!

He weighs 16 pounds &  10.5 ounces. He is 27 1/2 inches. Doctors says he’s WAY tall for his age. He is in the 99th percentile for height & 75th for weight. 

He is only in the 20th percentile for BMI, and that’s because it is a calculation of weight and height and most babies his age aren’t as tall as him ergo babies as tall as him would be older and weigh WAY more.

He grows two pounds and two inches every visit on average. 

My mom came with to keep us company and be a helping hand in my photo session I had later in the day so it was awesome to visit with her. 

Baby Jet also got two shots vaccines and a vaccine that he drank. He was interested in the drinking vaccine and liked it because it was sweet. 

He such a good forgiving little boy. The nurse gave him his first shot and he didn’t cry just looked at her like why’d you do that? He thought it was an accident. When she gave him the second he immediately started crying and we just imagined he thought “you’re doing this on purpose!”

Sweet baby.

Momma (me) tried a new hair style and I’m still not sure about it, but it was fun. 

Jetty boy did so great though and I’m so proud of him! 

Oh and he LOVED the paper on the bed again!

December Craft Night

Craft night was so fun! We had a pretty good turn out considering the holidays and everything! 

We made the most adorable little wreaths out of ornaments! 

All you use is ornaments, glue gun & a foam wreath! 

Simple but a little time consuming but worth it craft! 

Highlight of the night was Sophia glued her hair.

I didn’t take any photos of food but we did potluck and pretty much everyone brought something with cheese & bread, so we were carbing out pretty bad! 

But who doesn’t love cheese & bread? 

We had a super fun time and are already getting ready for the next one! 

Our First Night in our Home

As December rolls around, it will mark one year in our amazing and wonderful home! We got the keys on December 23, 2016!!

In honor of this I thought I would share how our first night staying at our house went. This is an old story but I must tell it for I don't have it documented anywhere and it's pretty hilarious! 

We signed the papers and got the keys to our home on December 23rd 2016! Just one day away from Christmas Eve! 

We wanted to spend Christmas in our new home so we had an air matress, sleeping bag and a mini Christmas tree! 

We put the air mattress up in the soon to be dining room and were so excited for our first night in our home! 

Little did we know our mostly tile house would be freezing cold in the December night! We froze our butts off until about 2 am when we decided we couldn't take it anymore! We didn't know how to use the heater quite yet and the electronic fire place wasn't doing much. We couldn't sleep because we were so cold! 

Finally after hours of shivers I told Dustin why don't we just go to our old place? I added we could get some more blankets and maybe just take a load of our stuff down since we can't sleep anyway? Dustin actually agreed which I was surprised by because sometimes, even I know when my ideas seem kind of crazy. It was crazy because our old house was a half an hour away, in the mountains, on a DIRT road and it was storming rain outside! However our house still had all of our belongings in it!

Aside those details, we left. We got to the gate of our old place and when Dustin clicked the button it wouldn't open...we were really confused/tired for it was like 2 in the morning. This gate is really dumb because you can't open it manually, only with the clicker. The gates battery appeared to have died and so we were unable to take our car up the big, muddy slippery hill. We decided we were not going to waste a trip and so we walked up that muddy slippery hill in the pouring rain...(I was in heels for they were the only shoes I had with me at our new house and I was also pregnant with Jetson!)

When we got to the house it was really tempting to just fall asleep on our bed with our big fluffy comforter. But instead, we sort of went into survival mode, grabbing bags, suitcases and seeing how much we could possibly carry down with us. We loaded essential things like a million more blankets, another sleeping bag, our carbon monoxide alarm, snacks and fuzzy Jammies. We walked down the hill carrying SO much using every limb and even using our mouths to hold things, we must've looked ridiculous.

We drove home in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve and went to our new home, figured out the heater and CRASHED, we slept in until atleast 11 AM the next day. 

It's so funny how we spent our first night in our home, it just goes to show nothing is perfect and you just gotta role with life the best you can! 

December 2017 Festivities So Far

We decorated our tree! Jetson loves the lights and loved to try and eat the ornaments. 

He put up his first special Christmas ornament..again he would rather eat it. 

I love how big our tree is! You have to get on a ladder to put the top ornaments on ! I love big Christmas trees. We do fake Christmas trees at our house because that’s how I grew up. I find it easier and satisfying to my ocd self because I’d be wanting a perfectly shaped tree. We do fake and dustins compromise is we do colored lights outside even though I love plain WHITE.  I know so many people are pro real tree though, but I actually red an article about hibernating bugs in your tree that wake in the warmth of your house. I’m not sure if the credibility of that but YUCK. Sorry for the random tangent . 

He’s the finished product ! I honestly  Don’t think we will have a star this year because Dustin has been super indecisive on what kind of star he wants lol!

We are just doing the front walk way this year..but next year I’m going all out for outside lights...I just didn’t see the point since we are going to The ranch half the month! 

We had our ward party last Saturday the second and me and the rest of the relief society presidency were in charge so it was quite crazy! It went great though cute Jetson would not let his cousin nevaeha go or out of his sight he loves her!

We were super festive because that’s just who we are! 

This Christmas season is starting out great!
