Daddy!

As some of you know, the jobs in Southern Utah are hard to find, especially with insurance. Rich has always had back problems (breaking his tailbone a couple times, among many other things) His back was getting worse so we made the decision to have me go back to work, and him be stay at home daddy. We were all wondering how it would work out. He wasent used to staying home, and I wasent used to working. But it is what it is. I got a job with benefits, so we could fix him and he could go back to work.
After we put the big kids to bed, I caught him and Killi sharing marshmallows from the bag of lucky charms on the stairs. 8:30, and he was sugaring her up, I wonder what I don't see during the day! :)
Liv gets so worn out that she crashes hard. Her she is sleeping like she usually does. Like her Aunt Page. We have photograpic evidence Page did this all the time. Love it!
You buy them toys, they want to play in boxes. Apparently tired and naked as usual, Liv fell asleep in her box.
Killi is good at falling asleep in crazy places too! A couple months ago she was found in the laundry room asleep cuddled in dirty clothes. GROSS! I couldnt find her for a while and was losing it. ZZZZZZZ. Here she was found in her room by her bed. She loves Liv's bike helmet. I guess it is comfy. Anyways , moral of the story is: Rich has realy grown into the role of stay at home dad. Neither one of us is getting comfortable with it completly, because we want it back to normal, but for now...It is what it is, and it works!

Jacksons 7th Biirthday!

For Jackson's birthday (June 24th) Grandma came into town. Jackson decided that instead of a party, he would take one friend to lunch, his choice.
He chose Golden Coral, his very FAVORITE place.......getting sick of it, say the parents! We came home with full bellies, and what better to do in the 110 degree heat......? Slip and slide!
Cutie Killi, makes us melt!
Jackson, Eddie, Olivia, Killian, and Dad. Trying to get them to hold still for a picture is like nailing jello to the wall!
COLD WATER!
Just another cute picture of droopy drawers. We had a great time. Thanks mom for bringing the slip in slide! Happy Birthday Jackson Lee!

Jackson Man

Well my little man is getting so big! This is Jackson and his 1st grade teacher, Miss Gardner. She was a great teacher! He had so much fun, and was very sad to leave her class. My baby is going to be in 2nd grade! Sniff sniff!
What a good boy he is. He is now 7, and becoming very responsible and protective of his sisters. I hope it lasts through their teen years! He has some new hobbies, one of which is writing songs. I think it is adorable! He will write them , then ask Rich to play them on the guitar.
The first draft of the Jackson song....
And the final one. I love the "done" at the end. Oh, he is my special guy!

Sick days SUCK!

So not many people know, but I am currently working. In Southern Utah there are no construction jobs to be found. (So while we are looking for something up North) Rich is at home daddy and I am working at a care and rehab center. As much as I love it, I hate it. Especially when all 3 of my babies have a fever over 102, and I have to leave them. Liv is the worst. With her tiny body, it hits her hard. She is only 3 lbs heavier than Killian ( who is 2 years younger. ) Scares me. So it has been fun. Lots of boogies, Tylenol, Advil, Robo, and rolls and rolls of toilet paper. No puking yet...YEAH! Knock on wood. So hope all is well with everyone else. Just checked Liv, 103.4. Sweet! Gonna be a long night! P.S I am working on getting some new pictures, but my camera is in a coma. Hope it comes out soon:)

The Greatest Performer of ALL Time!

Wish I knew how to post pictures from the internet, but I haven't learned how yet. Otherwise there would be a huge picture of Michael Jackson slapped on the front of this post! Think what you want of the man....but I love him!! I am a purchaser of every ringtone, album, and 2 disc special edition CD/DVD of this man. How sad for his family, and the world. What a relief for him, now people will leave him alone. Beat It!
