This past week I went to Thatcher. I got to meet the new dogs, Track and Macey and just enjoy being home. before I left we got these cute pictures of Jeter...

He loves being upside down (if you look at this picture upside down it looks like he's cheering)

We went down to Mesa to go to the temple. It was a special visit because my friend Melanie went through for the first time because she's getting married March 4th! I'm so happy for her! And also Kameron did my grandpa Fenstermaker's endowments. It was such a good feeling and I am so glad the work could be done for him.

After the temple my mom and I, and Jeter of course, headed to Thatcher. I have lots of pictures of Jeter and Killian! They're just sooo cute! We pretty much just hung out, got our eyelashes and hair done. The bad part was on Sunday we went to church and Killian got sick and it spread to Jeter. Poor thing had a fever. And since I got the sickness a few days later the poor kid most likely had the aches, sore throat and a stuffy/runny nose. Sick babies are no fun. We are both still recovering. But anyways! Here are some fun pictures I took in Thatcher:

So when I got in the car I look over and both babies are just staring at me it was SO funny!

I made these yummy orange cookies (Thanks Kira for the Recipie!) I think the best part was the frosting! And they are "healthy"

cute little Killian!

While the babes were playing on the floor Killian's active legs smacked Jeter in the face. Poor little guy but it was funny!

my mom, the baby "whisperer" --notice Jeter's glazed look. So sick!

Macey and Track--the black one is Emily's and the Yellow one is my mom's

The pickle. Yummmmy....

This picture is once we got home Jeter had the biggest snot bubble, the picture doesn't do it justice

We also got a New Bouncer!

Love this boy in hats! (Just like his Daddy!)

We had fun, but it's good to be home. I think the best part was the drive to Flagstaff with my mom! We now are just surviving the snow storms, ew. No word on any internships, but it may be too soon. We also gave Jeter his first taste of Rice cereal. Not a good idea to try it when he is kinda tired and already hungry but it did help him sleep more peacefully that night! I can't believe our baby is already four months!

Natalie's baby shower!

Thanks for all the sleeping advice, it seems there are good nights and bad nights. And sometimes we just like to take naps...too cute!!

Im finding out Jeter likes to play with toys when he wakes up. He loves this little squeaky money and he's starting to hold things, even his bottle! yay!

This past weekend we went to Cottonwood for Natalie's baby shower, we had so much fun and she got lots of cute stuff!

Caryn made this adorable diaper baby and I brought a diaper cake, hence the diaper theme.

Jeter and Conner

Natalie happily opening her gifts

Conner, Jeter and Nat's nephew on Jacob's side. He's the same age as Jeter. Lots of Babies!

And Im crazy because I'm jealous! Work has been super busy!! And I'm in the process of starting to work for a company called 5star billing it's from home. That'll start like the end of March. Kameron is still waiting to hear back from interniships, just wait wait wait! School is going well for him just always busy! It seems like we are always busy these days! Oh and Kam's cousin had his baby this week! Another boy! congrats Randy and Chelsea!

Baby hair & Eye lashes

This past week has had some fun times! We went to dinner with Kameron's friend Justin and his wife Mallory. They are so fun! They live in Mesa and it was fun getting out with friends! Here is Jeter in his cute bear outfit Grandma Ginny got him, all ready for a night on the town. Cute little Guy!!

We went down to Mesa and Emily treated me to some new Eyelashes!!! LOVE THEM!

Before

After

I wasn't too sure about the whole thing but I am so glad I let her do them for me. I can't believe how tedious the work is and how good she is at them. Thanks Em!!

Next up! Jeter got his first hair cut!! These are the before and afters:

I was kinda sad when I saw the little pieces coming off (I saved some) It was his baby hair! But the little guy needed it.

Now his new hair can grow in nice and even!

After:

Kameron and Killian. I love Killian he's so cute and his cheeks are so squeezable! Love him to pieces!!

Right now we are trying to get Jeter to sleep in a crib, by himself. Let's just say I've never gone with lack of sleep for so long. Any tips?? We've let him cry it out and it didn't work. After two hours it just wasn't worth it. I'm thinking full tummy, nice and warm, dry and some music? I've yet to accomplish all these at the same time. The other problem is he wakes us atleast every three hours if not every 45 minutes. Yikes. I bought a mobil but havn't tried it out yet. Hopefully he gets the whole sleeping thing soon!!!

count 'em, 3!

So today is Jeter's 3 month old day!! We love this little guy so much!!
How he's been growing:
height weight head circumference
birth- 20 inch 7lb 5 oz --
3 days- 20.8 inch 6 lb 13 oz 34.8 cm
10 days- -- 7 lb 7 oz --
17 days-21.5 inch 7 lb 15 oz 36.5 cm
9 weeks -23.5 inch 10 lb 5oz --
3 month 25inch 12lb

Kisses from Daddy!!

sad face :(

We've recently been helping Jeter learn how to sleep by himself in the crib. I wish we would have started this habit when he was a newborn. It's a lot of stress on us and him but he is already getting the hang of it. And we all sleep better too! I do wish that parenthood came with a user manual !!

what we've been up to:

Kameron has started school again, last big semester!!! He has a full schedule again. So the balance between work, school and homework begins again. I know he'll do great he always does!

I am working Tuesdays and Thursdays at the chiropractic office and Jeter comes with me. It's nice to get out of the house and put my energy towards something else other than house work and babies. I also met this wonderful gal in my ward who has an elliptical machine so I get to go over to her house and she watches Jeter and her 7 month son Luke. I can't believe how lucky I am!

We've been enjoying the unusually warm weather and watching Jeter grow up into a fun adorable baby!

He's So Cute!

The two most important men in my life.


Can I say that with each passing day my obsession with this little boy grows! I want to squeeze him like a little kid squeezes a little puppy! Don't get me wrong sometimes I want to just sleep and ignore the crying. I don't want to change another poopy diaper or supply his nourishment, but when he gives us little smiles and coos and even a random laugh (which melts my heart) it is allll worth it.


Little Moses!

We took a family picture at Cade and Caryn's house over Christmas weekend. Notice Natalie's baby belly, due March 6th. It's so fun having babies on both sides of the families, makes life a lot more interesting that's for sure!

December Events!

We had Jeter's baby blessing on the 19th this month, exactly 2 months old! We had lots of family come up to Flagstaff and squish into our apartment :) but we had a really fun time! The blessing was so special. I was so emotional because I was just thinking about the hard road we had to take to get to this point. A misscarriage and fertility problems, to have Our baby being blessed was a miracle to me and I am so grateful. Kameron gave a wonderful blessing. I was a little crazy I guess, trying to make everything perfect and make everyone comfortable. I will hopefully get the picture from Emily soon....I only got one of Kam and I with Jeter. Jeter looked ADORABLE!
This random picture is just of Jeter practicing his basketball skills, with a little help from his daddy!

We had a wonderful christmas this year!! I have to say the last two have been some of the more gloomier, so this year was a breath of fresh air! We went to Janel's house in Queen Creek and spent christmas morning there, I was especially excited to see Nate, SungMi, and Aiden! We stayed up late and had fun playing games and visiting, here are some pictures...
peddi's and manni's! Thanks mom!!!!!

Jeter with cousin Killian and Aiden. Can't wait to have little Max in there!!!

So precious!

Christmas Pajamas from the elves!

here we are christmas morning.

I love this picture, this is how we all feel christmas morning and I happen to capture it on Kam's face!

Me and my baby boy!

So we picked up this puppy for Kameron's dad. It was a suprise gift for the Johnson family. She's the cutest little thing! She was snuggling with Jeter during nap time.

Christmas eve in our jammies.

The grandkids, we are missing Dane, Paige and Max we will have a big family picture this year that's been a long time coming!! We miss you Nick and Hannah, but we will see you soon!!

I can't forget Killian's baby blessing at home on christmas eve! It was such a wonderful experience! I love Brianna and little Killian. It really brought the christmas spirit!

We went to Cottonwood mid day on Saturday and spent some time there and than we went to Prescott for Connor's blessing. (Caryn and Cade's baby) it was fun spending more time with family. But it was nice to get home after a long weekend. I don't know if Jeter knows his home, but he always gets all happy when we come home from a long weekend out of town.

I am already thinking of the new years resolutions I will most likely set and fail to complete haha. But it's nice to feel like I'm getting a fresh start. Kameron got 4 A's and one C this semester!!! He IS AMAZING! So for now we will enjoy the winter break! Oh and it is turning out to be a warm winter. Hardly any snow so far!!!
