It just hasn't worked out so we decided to do one in the back yard. It was complete with tents, sleeping bags, campfire, and marshmallows. We even had my niece Keatley join the fun.

Well I haven't wanted to give it up but sometimes things just fall by the wayside. So here are the updates for the Jessups<br /><br />Gordon is about to turn 3 and gets into everything!!! He loves sword fighting, running up to his dad on the stand on Sundays, Ninja Turtles, Cars, Skateboards (he has been asking for one for months for his birthday). He says funny things like the other day when we walked into my in-laws house and he promptly calls out "Ok where are the old people?" He thinks there are cars in his tummy and if he eats his boogers then it helps them come out. Gross I know..... He is just discovering that friends his age can be fun.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HIGvStAIPes/ThsQGejWvII/AAAAAAAABqY/8gKyQ5Zqed4/s1600/006.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HIGvStAIPes/ThsQGejWvII/AAAAAAAABqY/8gKyQ5Zqed4/s400/006.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628109862796180610" border="0" /></a><br />Lilly, has finished preschool and is eager to start Kindergarten. She is very excited to be going to a brand new school. We are trying to get her to stop sucking her thumb but things are not going well in that department. Lilly was a light bulb in her dance concert this year with the theme being inventions. She loves riding her bike without training wheels. Which she learned to do the same day as her big sister.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nphx5xK8fo4/ThsQG2vVTLI/AAAAAAAABqo/lnj3x504S48/s1600/013.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nphx5xK8fo4/ThsQG2vVTLI/AAAAAAAABqo/lnj3x504S48/s400/013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628109869288869042" border="0" /></a>Easter Sunday<br /></div>Lainey, finished 1st grade with flying colors. She is reading way above her grade and is loving chapter books. She devours them pretty quickly. She is not so sure about the new school because she is sad about the friends she is leaving behind at Oakcrest. She also started Piano lessons this spring and seems to have a natural affinity for it. In 2 months she breezed through her first book.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mn3wyAqHfyY/ThsQGpOTPsI/AAAAAAAABqg/VyyzDr4l97A/s1600/027.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mn3wyAqHfyY/ThsQGpOTPsI/AAAAAAAABqg/VyyzDr4l97A/s400/027.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628109865660661442" border="0" /></a>A ride in a stage coach<br /></div>Cari , So I have been released as YW's president when Lance was called to the Bishopric. This has given me a lot more time to work on and develop some new skills and talents. Such as refinishing furniture and a little graphic design. I still got to go girls camp on the cooking crew. It was a different experience but I still had a blast. Last but not least I am expecting baby number 4. And once again I seem to be having a severe implantation bleed. I have been down for about 4 days and today we should hopefully find out more what is going on. I am about 7 weeks and the baby is the size of a blueberry.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kNXafV_OMwo/ThsQHZ4GTdI/AAAAAAAABqw/MtuPTgVCE5Y/s1600/blueberry.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 189px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kNXafV_OMwo/ThsQHZ4GTdI/AAAAAAAABqw/MtuPTgVCE5Y/s400/blueberry.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628109878720875986" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Lance, is settling into his new church calling and trying his best to cover it all. He got to spend a week home with the kids while I was at girls camp. He is eagarly looking forward to scout camp and Youth Conference. I must say I am a little jealous :). Work is going well and there is talk about possibly sending him to Japan, although it is looking less and less. A couple of weeks before his birthday we found out he has a blood clot in his leg about the whole length of his leg. He said he wasn't having any trouble turning 30 but he did have a hard time turning 30 on blood thinners.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WJC-FmOWuKw/ThsTW5nR94I/AAAAAAAABq4/f7DR-8Mjys8/s1600/011.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WJC-FmOWuKw/ThsTW5nR94I/AAAAAAAABq4/f7DR-8Mjys8/s400/011.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628113443473192834" border="0" /></a>Daddy sick on Fathers Day<br /></div>So that is our update, if we still have any readers left :)Jessup Jivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00466108554560744922noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744964606537463627.post-7373310739739923472011-06-01T20:18:00.000-07:002011-06-01T20:26:03.329-07:00Happy Birthday Lance!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yHzYRw7WVd0/TecCR-4_KRI/AAAAAAAABqE/E6ocuTmX2ZA/s1600/10-19-2010%2B065.JPG"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_3Jgl9ovvKQ/TecCSVNU0FI/AAAAAAAABqM/fwzErf7pDxk/s1600/10-19-2010%2B115.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_3Jgl9ovvKQ/TecCSVNU0FI/AAAAAAAABqM/fwzErf7pDxk/s400/10-19-2010%2B115.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613457974494548050" border="0" /></a><br />For Lance's 30th birthday I have compiled a list of 30 things you might not now about Lance.

I didn't think much of it, so this morning I proceeded to get a little crazy. So her hair is done, socks are on, when.... I check her backpack for any notes to make sure everything is set for the day. I pull out a note that says that Lainey's class earned this day. And it is for her class only and while we can do fun things with their hair it shouldn't be to crazy or distracting. OOPS!!! Oh well she was happy.<br />I didn't realize how blurry they were till after she left, we literally had like 10 seconds to get her out the door!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TUwaZY46NhI/AAAAAAAABps/O8i-KlXUj_Q/s1600/021.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TUwaZY46NhI/AAAAAAAABps/O8i-KlXUj_Q/s400/021.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569855862630659602" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TUwaZj3_9OI/AAAAAAAABp8/7K2O-whg7ok/s1600/023.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TUwaZj3_9OI/AAAAAAAABp8/7K2O-whg7ok/s400/023.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569855865579631842" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TUwaZYZa4jI/AAAAAAAABp0/BZkBrP5m1ok/s1600/022.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TUwaZYZa4jI/AAAAAAAABp0/BZkBrP5m1ok/s400/022.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569855862498583090" border="0" /></a>Jessup Jivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00466108554560744922noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744964606537463627.post-63551691348713949752011-01-26T14:10:00.000-08:002011-01-26T14:26:30.592-08:00Baby Jaguar<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TUCeHWF7yAI/AAAAAAAABpI/S_pvQu_OrSc/s1600/013.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TUCeHWF7yAI/AAAAAAAABpI/S_pvQu_OrSc/s400/013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566622988456675330" border="0" /></a><br />At one point in time when Lilly was trying to stop sucking her thumb, she gained a little friend, named Baby Jaguar. She is a right cute little kitty that has become a big source of comfort to Lilly. When I asked Lilly what she wanted to be for Halloween: Baby Jaguar. When I asked Lilly what kind of Birthday party she wanted this year: Baby Jaguar. I let the girls paint and decorate a picture frame for Valentines, when I asked Lilly what she wanted to put in her frame, can you guess what her response was? That is right!! BABY JAGUAR!!! She love this little cuddly kitty and you can see by the permenant dirt ground into her furr.

We left early Thursday morning. We stopped at Cove Fort. The kids liked seeing the old stuff. I think they liked going up the stair to the look out spot above.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5b_zBaEAI/AAAAAAAABnk/-XVSCP9Evfo/s1600/10-19-2010+030.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5b_zBaEAI/AAAAAAAABnk/-XVSCP9Evfo/s400/10-19-2010+030.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529958544043544578" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5d-bdqi0I/AAAAAAAABoE/XDu47cFG-BU/s1600/10-19-2010+028.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5d-bdqi0I/AAAAAAAABoE/XDu47cFG-BU/s400/10-19-2010+028.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529960719563000642" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5cAKt5fxI/AAAAAAAABns/7PfvZTq2_Vg/s1600/10-19-2010+034.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5cAKt5fxI/AAAAAAAABns/7PfvZTq2_Vg/s400/10-19-2010+034.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529958550404169490" border="0" /></a><br />We got back int he car and after a few more stops we made it to Grandma Sherelle's house. We spent the evening, hiking around her property meeting the animals and having dinner with Grandma and Roger.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5cAq4UX2I/AAAAAAAABn0/KHV_KMPuOfM/s1600/10-19-2010+041.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5cAq4UX2I/AAAAAAAABn0/KHV_KMPuOfM/s400/10-19-2010+041.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529958559037808482" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5d_T9faFI/AAAAAAAABoc/ptw6YjvoQ0Y/s1600/10-19-2010+099.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5d_T9faFI/AAAAAAAABoc/ptw6YjvoQ0Y/s400/10-19-2010+099.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529960734728874066" border="0" /></a><br />We then got back in the car and headed into St. George to our hotel.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5cA5SmPAI/AAAAAAAABn8/scaFZkbM4Gg/s1600/10-19-2010+057.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5cA5SmPAI/AAAAAAAABn8/scaFZkbM4Gg/s400/10-19-2010+057.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529958562906127362" border="0" /></a><br />We got up Friday morning and got ready for the day. We went to the Rosenbrach Wildlife Museum. It was ok, but we were all a little creeped out by some of the animals.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5d_J66l3I/AAAAAAAABoU/oX1Px0zytHE/s1600/10-19-2010+065.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5d_J66l3I/AAAAAAAABoU/oX1Px0zytHE/s400/10-19-2010+065.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529960732033718130" border="0" /></a><br />Our favorite part was the bug display.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5d-2dyl3I/AAAAAAAABoM/xIaqHETJKJA/s1600/10-19-2010+059.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5d-2dyl3I/AAAAAAAABoM/xIaqHETJKJA/s400/10-19-2010+059.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529960726811285362" border="0" /></a><br />We then went back to the hotel and swam in the pool, that is what the kids had been begging to do since we got there. After swimming we went back to the room and got ready to head over to our friends house. Along the way we stopped and did a little shopping on our way. We had dinner with friends from our apartment days. They have 2 daughters the same age as ours and they had a blast together! Lance and I enjoyed visiting with our friends. Saturday morning we got up and got ready to go hiking in Kolob Canyon, unfortunately Gordie got a little sick on the way :( he threw up in the car and we decided that hiking wasn't a good idea. We hung out at Grandmas house and Gordie seemed to be better so we decided to go to the Apple Festival in New Harmony. The kids had a blast.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0-wu0XAT7Jg/TL8D5UuuHLI/AAAAAAAAASM/uWBVGG5mmck/s1600/10-19-2010+106.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0-wu0XAT7Jg/TL8D5UuuHLI/AAAAAAAAASM/uWBVGG5mmck/s320/10-19-2010+106.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530143150786354354" border="0" /></a><br />They made corn husk dolls and Lance even competed and won a pie eating contest.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0-wu0XAT7Jg/TL8D7HKUTsI/AAAAAAAAASk/iiSgWQYlKXw/s1600/10-19-2010+130.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0-wu0XAT7Jg/TL8D7HKUTsI/AAAAAAAAASk/iiSgWQYlKXw/s320/10-19-2010+130.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530143181503745730" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5d_7Q_oxI/AAAAAAAABok/9jWzdHzej4o/s1600/10-19-2010+120.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/TL5d_7Q_oxI/AAAAAAAABok/9jWzdHzej4o/s400/10-19-2010+120.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529960745279660818" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0-wu0XAT7Jg/TL8D6ErFvaI/AAAAAAAAASU/JJDWRZdzYj0/s1600/10-19-2010+129.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0-wu0XAT7Jg/TL8D6ErFvaI/AAAAAAAAASU/JJDWRZdzYj0/s320/10-19-2010+129.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530143163656027554" border="0" /></a><br />We had an great day spending more time with Grandma and just being together as a family. Whe got back in the car and headed out, but we didnt make it very far before Gordie started throwing up again. Poor guy. The car ride home wasnt too bad the girls kept themselves occupied embroidering and Gordie managed not to throw up anymore :) All in all we had a great time and came to the conclusion that it isnt about what we do on vacation it is about being together as a family and making the journey part of the fun! Even with car troubles :)<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0-wu0XAT7Jg/TL8D62nvsgI/AAAAAAAAASc/zLC-sy2DFK8/s1600/10-19-2010+134.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0-wu0XAT7Jg/TL8D62nvsgI/AAAAAAAAASc/zLC-sy2DFK8/s320/10-19-2010+134.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530143177063772674" border="0" /></a>Jessup Jivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00466108554560744922noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744964606537463627.post-23325484267326262122010-09-30T14:18:00.000-07:002010-09-30T14:29:32.760-07:00Bubble Wrap and ConfessionsSo I have to admit that I have been cheating on my blog with my new blog. There, that being said I am going to try to get at least one post on here for every post or two on <a href="http://homemakerisnotadirtyword.blogspot.com/">Homemaker is not a "Dirty" word!</a> So we have been watching my nephew a lot lately and he fits right into our routine and he is really easy to watch. Lance brought home a huge box filled with bubble wrap. The kids went nuts! Here is the video.

I was just called as Young Women President, and we are adjusting to that, Lilly graduated from preschool (we forgot the camera), the girls had their dance concert, Lainey had her school choir concert. Lainey still has about a month left of school, then 3 weeks off then it is back to 1st grade. So that in a nutshell is what is going on around here.Jessup Jivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00466108554560744922noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744964606537463627.post-29334575037710142712010-05-07T20:05:00.000-07:002010-05-07T20:19:38.505-07:00SCOUT-O-RAMA!!<div style="text-align: center;">So many moons ago I was a little Cub Scout. Each year we would work in a booth at Scout-O-Rama for a little bit and then check out all the other booths with my family. To say I had a good time, or even a blast, would be an understatement.<br /><br />When I was called as a Cubmaster two years ago I was reading and read about Scout-O-Rama. How could have forgotten this great momentous event that happens every year I thought. Well, I haven't missed one since. I even did a booth myself last year.<br /><br />Now my children are hooked, they have been asking ever since last year's Scout-O-Rama when it would happen again. Last Saturday it came.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S-TWQmlmT2I/AAAAAAAABkc/GCmz1lM-mHw/s1600/2010_Scout-O-Rama_01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S-TWQmlmT2I/AAAAAAAABkc/GCmz1lM-mHw/s400/2010_Scout-O-Rama_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468731428259123042" border="0" /></a><br />I didn't do a booth this year, because I was trying to get the boys in my pack to come and check this place out. I had planned on bringing them myself. Turned out those that could go actually went with their families, which is the best way to do this thing.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The Highway Patrol always comes and helps the kids learn the importance of seat belts. Lainey and Lilly were very excited to try it.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxvn_q4FqPiRcdW4ghqmHxpLXaOQFeViPwOjVSTGj1F05f57Rx5kISWCASL20iwhtPF1HO213ERZUrc7S6SCQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">We were there for nearly the whole day.

The magician (also named Lance) was a big hit too. Lainey wanted to stop at every booth.<br /><br /></div>Jessup Jivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00466108554560744922noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744964606537463627.post-82476438788565868112010-04-28T13:55:00.000-07:002010-04-28T14:12:25.216-07:00One of those Moments<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S9ikjWmX9xI/AAAAAAAABkU/lIEjnHx0xPc/s1600/16433_177319752879_721017879_2929273_6226770_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 375px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S9ikjWmX9xI/AAAAAAAABkU/lIEjnHx0xPc/s400/16433_177319752879_721017879_2929273_6226770_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465299075083007762" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="left"> <p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:-1;">The more we shelter children from every disappointment, the more devastating future disappointments will be.</span></p> </div> <div align="right"> <p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:-1;">FRED G.

My dear sweet Lainey loves to sing! She has been involved with her school's melody choir all year. It is a free after school program. To say she loves it is an understatement. She practices all the time singing her songs and working on the actions. We have been excitedly looking forward to her end of year performance. Lainey also loves to Dance! She has been taking classes since she was 3 and looks forward every week to dance day.<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:-1;">As we are ending the year with her dance concert coming we realized that her mandidtory dress rehearsal for dance was on the same night as her choir concert. I noticed this problem about 2 weeks ago, but hoped we could work something out. I didn't mention it to her because I was hoping we could make it to both on the same night. When I realized it just wasn't possible. I laid it out to her plainly. If she missed dress rehearsal she couldn't perform in her dance concert (which we do pay for), or she would have to miss her choir concert. I gave the decision to her. I expected tears, but was utterly amazed at her response. After thinking about it for a few minutes she made her decision. She has decided to do her dance performance. While she didn't cry I could hear the emotion in her voice about not singing. It broke my heart to make her have to choose, but she was brave and made the decision. She knows that she can still be in the choir next year and will hopefully get to perform there too. I</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:-1;">Sometimes life is hard, we are faced with decisions everyday, some are easy some are hard, but the hardest ones are the ones when we have to choose between to really good things. She has made her choice and I am so proud of her for her courage. WE LOVE YOU LAINEY! I am so pleased to be your mom.<i><br /></i></span></p> </div>Jessup Jivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00466108554560744922noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744964606537463627.post-62063683502223342792010-04-21T11:43:00.000-07:002010-04-21T12:41:35.185-07:00Can you guess Who????These pictures are of all my babies at 4 months old.

Majority of the time this is the case. While I trust my Doctor very much, and we all make mistakes sometimes I wonder......<br /><br />Here is a true story that happened to me just this week:<br /><br />I have been on some medication that totally dries out my skin for several months, this causes my eczema to go berserk! So I usually use a prescription strength Cortizone cream for this. I was out so I asked my Doc, to give me a new one. He said no problem and wrote out the rx. I went to fill the rx and the pharmacist looked at it and said, "There is a problem, the thing the doc wrote the rx for doesn't exist." They needed to check on it before they could fill it. I said ok. I left and came back 2 days later. They told me that they had it sorted out but they were out of stock, and it would be in later today. I left a little frustrated but ya know things like this happen...... Later tonight I went back to pick up the prescription. They had gotten it and it was ready. I got to the car and opened it. This is what I found.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S8Z3i-M3_-I/AAAAAAAABj0/Jlam9RLkNG0/s1600/hydrocortisone-cream-0-5-1-oz-tube-192212-MEDIUM.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S8Z3i-M3_-I/AAAAAAAABj0/Jlam9RLkNG0/s400/hydrocortisone-cream-0-5-1-oz-tube-192212-MEDIUM.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460183040929562594" border="0" /></a><br />Typically 0.5% is normal, 1.0% is extra strength and 2.5% is prescription strength.<br />So 3 trips to Target, and a 3 day wait to get minimum strength cortizone cream, that I paid more for than if I had just grabbed the Target brand sitting on the shelf 3 feet away from the pharmacy.<br /><br />If you made it to the end of this, I thank you for listening to my rant!Jessup Jivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00466108554560744922noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744964606537463627.post-40436928815994059682010-04-09T07:25:00.000-07:002010-04-09T07:47:49.774-07:00What about Gordon?If you scroll down (if we have any readers left). You will see multiple posts about Lainey, Lilly, food and family activities but nothing about Gordie. So here is a post about our little man.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S789gZj8qwI/AAAAAAAABjM/O5lsA7_idPg/s1600/100_0357.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S789gZj8qwI/AAAAAAAABjM/O5lsA7_idPg/s320/100_0357.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458148900223101698" border="0" /></a><br />He has been getting back to back ear infections that seem to be resistant to the antibiotics. Not a fun thing. We were going to the Pediatrician office like once a month. Well this last time the doctor used the "tube" word. So off to the ENT on Tuesday we went. They looked in his ears and indeed he needed tubes. When we went to schedule the surgery they gave us 2 dates, 1 at the end of April and 1 in that was Thursday. Like as in 2 days. We decided that now was a good time and said go ahead and schedule it.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S789hmTbDKI/AAAAAAAABjc/GTMhQFEA_CU/s1600/100_0016.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S789hmTbDKI/AAAAAAAABjc/GTMhQFEA_CU/s320/100_0016.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458148920823319714" border="0" /></a><br />Thursday came very quickly and off we went to the hospital. We got checked in and taken to our room. Gordie wasn't happy about the hospital gown, but with distraction of a white board and marker we managed to keep it on him. They came in and gave him some meds that would make him a little loopy and forget what was going on. Before it kicked in he amazed the nurses with his fine motor skills.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S789jOFxYpI/AAAAAAAABjs/Equ1cK2uR7o/s1600/100_0065.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S789jOFxYpI/AAAAAAAABjs/Equ1cK2uR7o/s320/100_0065.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458148948683350674" border="0" /></a><br />They brought him back and told us the fluid in his ears was the consistancy of rubber cement. He didnt say that was unusual but the way he said it made it seem to me like it was.

But as I stated before I have been struggling with this diet because of lack of baking. I have searched the internet for recipes that would work for the Candida Diet I am on, but haven't really been able to find much. What I didn't realize was that I really didn't need to look further than my own kitchen. When Lance and I got married an old neighbor gave us a cook book with recipes that she had collected and perfected. In there was a recipe for plain muffins. It fit right into my diet. But who wants to eat plain muffins? So taking her base this is what I came up with. So really this is therapy for me and hopefully I am not boring you to death.<br /><br />Wholegrain Cinnamon Peach Muffins<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6uoWKjvI9I/AAAAAAAABfM/F9_XjSO9_AI/s1600/100_0334.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6uoWKjvI9I/AAAAAAAABfM/F9_XjSO9_AI/s320/100_0334.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452636872606950354" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6uoVad2CKI/AAAAAAAABe8/8DsxHXELTRg/s1600/100_0331.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6uoVad2CKI/AAAAAAAABe8/8DsxHXELTRg/s320/100_0331.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452636859697334434" border="0" /></a><br />Gordie awaiting the muffins!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6unxELBxII/AAAAAAAABe0/2-b73WIBv7w/s1600/100_0330.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6unxELBxII/AAAAAAAABe0/2-b73WIBv7w/s320/100_0330.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452636235237540994" border="0" /></a>Jessup Jivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00466108554560744922noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744964606537463627.post-48489001966733251982010-03-22T18:22:00.000-07:002010-03-22T18:23:49.876-07:00Just a noteWhile the converted recipe below tastes great is is very crumbly while the origional holds together better.

So this whole diet thing has been has been super hard for me!! I found this recipe online and decided to convert it into something that falls in the boundaries of my diet. All I can say is YUM! I will give you the regular recipe and the one I converted to be a little healthier. I hope you enjoy.<br /><br />PS these are not my pictures.<br /><br />Regular:<br />3/4 cup brown sugar (I think this is way too much sugar!!!)<br />1/2 cup butter softened<br />1/4 tsp salt<br />1 1/2 cup rolled oats<br /><br />mix all together, spoon onto greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.

Sometimes it is easy to distract her and give her something to do. It usually involves a friend or two. Today however I really needed Gordie to take his nap and sometimes friends aren't so conducive to naps. So this is what we did today!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6PLdM8d30I/AAAAAAAABdE/VmMvxHJdyIE/s1600-h/101_4855.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6PLdM8d30I/AAAAAAAABdE/VmMvxHJdyIE/s400/101_4855.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450423676599918402" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6PLTWKcwEI/AAAAAAAABc8/3kytAqkHbGs/s1600-h/101_4839.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6PLTWKcwEI/AAAAAAAABc8/3kytAqkHbGs/s400/101_4839.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450423507275792450" border="0" /></a><br />Now I know if something goes wrong with staying at home, I can go on the road with these killer rock star faces!!<br /><div style="text-align: center;">Don't you just love the smeared lipstick<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6PDCfUknyI/AAAAAAAABck/6ak_JIB-9xs/s1600-h/101_4851.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6PDCfUknyI/AAAAAAAABck/6ak_JIB-9xs/s400/101_4851.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450414421583372066" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6PDBizP_LI/AAAAAAAABcc/aCBFpCFI9U4/s1600-h/101_4853.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S6PDBizP_LI/AAAAAAAABcc/aCBFpCFI9U4/s400/101_4853.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450414405337480370" border="0" /></a>Jessup Jivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00466108554560744922noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744964606537463627.post-78108016864899045592010-03-14T07:34:00.000-07:002010-03-14T08:16:04.126-07:00A Very Fluffy 4th Birthday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5z9j6OTHNI/AAAAAAAABcM/XYXcAb5NAjU/s1600-h/kids+2009+023.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5z9j6OTHNI/AAAAAAAABcM/XYXcAb5NAjU/s400/kids+2009+023.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448508442577935570" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Since it is still less than 24 hours after the birth time, I am not technically late.<br />I seem to be having a much harder time with Lilly turning 4 than I did with Lainey turning 6. Lilly is doing so much changing right now. It is amazing to watch. I am thinking I missed this with Lainey because of being pregnant or something( very sorry sweet pea). But I am totally loving the new phases Lilly is starting into. She seems to not only be growing physically but emotionally as well. So without further ado here are 4 reasons we love this fantastic 4 year old<br /><br />1. She makes us laugh, sometimes we have to leave the room because it was something naughty we shouldn't be laughing at.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5z5TPGyUnI/AAAAAAAABbE/cBHahc2C_9g/s1600-h/100_0269.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5z5TPGyUnI/AAAAAAAABbE/cBHahc2C_9g/s400/100_0269.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448503758079283826" border="0" /></a><br />2.She is a great at sharing. In recent days it seems that if she has anything she offers a some to anyone who wants some.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5z5UI0cxRI/AAAAAAAABbM/i2Aj65uiUK0/s1600-h/100_2012.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5z5UI0cxRI/AAAAAAAABbM/i2Aj65uiUK0/s400/100_2012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448503773571630354" border="0" /></a><br />3.

Often times would not respond unless called Fluffy. She is a determined little girl who knows what she wants and once she has decided what she wants you better watch out! We hope that this trait is one that sticks with her through out her life, as long as it is good choices she has set her mind to.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5z7NV5DrTI/AAAAAAAABb0/AJiUCAElEok/s1600-h/100_2779.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5z7NV5DrTI/AAAAAAAABb0/AJiUCAElEok/s400/100_2779.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448505855844789554" border="0" /></a><br />Those are just 4 of the so many many reasons we love our Lilly.

But the weather and a few other things are not cooperating today. Lilly was not happy about this development. She demanded that Peter could come take them at our house or wait until after the storm. After about an hour of trying to help her understand we came to a compromise. We would do a practice hair and practice pictures. I think she still thinks he is going to take her picture today but...... So here are some of my bad pictures.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5AemKUroXI/AAAAAAAABaU/dHbeoR-EQ_Y/s1600-h/100_0259.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5AemKUroXI/AAAAAAAABaU/dHbeoR-EQ_Y/s400/100_0259.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444885590445891954" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5Aelloyo0I/AAAAAAAABaM/dJfVA39X1-4/s1600-h/100_0256.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5Aelloyo0I/AAAAAAAABaM/dJfVA39X1-4/s400/100_0256.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444885580598125378" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5AelFRH-kI/AAAAAAAABaE/3GUfYn61MQQ/s1600-h/100_0254.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5AelFRH-kI/AAAAAAAABaE/3GUfYn61MQQ/s400/100_0254.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444885571908926018" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5AekjZoi1I/AAAAAAAABZ8/ayde1BqOuzE/s1600-h/100_0253.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_alLw8SAOLbE/S5AekjZoi1I/AAAAAAAABZ8/ayde1BqOuzE/s400/100_0253.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444885562817809234" border="0" /></a>Jessup Jivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00466108554560744922noreply@blogger.com0
