New Year ('',)

Our new year was pretty chill (and I dont mean cold) we didnt really do much, Doug, Eli and I went to his grandparents house for dinner and we played a few games of cribbage :) that is a fun game.. After we got home we put Eli to bed and we went downstairs and played another game of cribbage until my mum and sister came over to count in the new year with us :)
It wasnt really anything but it was alot of fun..

Just before Christmas I applied for a bunch of job and one of them was including Koala Kids Academy (its the Malaleuca Daycare) and I got a call back hearing that I have been offered a job to work there :) it was funny because we were in the mall when they called me and I was so excited that I was actually jumping up and down while I was on the phone with them, I am sure that the people around me was wondering what kind of crazy person I was :) I even told Doug and he was like "Jasmine, nobody jumps around just because they are excited" but that is obviously not true because I was :-D

But I start on Tuesday the 5th, and I am also able to take Eli with me when I don't have anyone to watch him :)

Christmas

Christmas was really nice this year. We had decided a while ago that we weren't going to buy gifts for anyone except for Eli.. So we had made gifts for everyone in our families. My favorite gift that we (I) made was the ties made out of Duct Tape. It took a while because it would always stick to itself and I made a tie for Doug and my brother Chad. Now the only thing is we just have to wait and see if they will wear them..

We have a tradition where we have both of our families over for breakfast on christmas morning and Doug makes a casarole and hashbrowns, its is really yummy (as usual) and for dinner we went to my mum's house for dinner.

It was really fun having christmas with Eli this year because he could rip open his own presents even though in the beginning he didnt know why he was ripping paper but in the end he realized that he gets a toy or something if he rips the present open :)

It was good for me to be able to talk to some of my family on Christmas because we are literally all over the world :)

Much Love

Eli's 1st Haircut

Eli just got his 1st haircut from Jasmine. She did a really good job.. Doug on the other hand..... gave Eli a few scratches on his neck... Oops... Eli was tough though and did not even care. Here are a few pictures of the haircut.

Eli was very fascinated by the razor!!

Holding the Razor before it started!

The 1st official hair cut!All Done!!!!Posing with the clipper! I am so cute!!!
Eli did a great job sitting through his 1st haircut. He laughed and smiled the whole time. He is getting so big now. Growing and Learning each day. He is so smart.

Until Next Time

Painting

In our house all of the walls were white, we decided that we wanted to do something different and paint our house. Doug was really nervous about it so we started in the kitchen first and did behind the fridge so if we didnt like it we could just cover it up. It turned out really nice now that we have finished up stairs, we did the kitchen, dining room, living room, the hallway and the stairway.

I'll have to get Doug to add some pictures because it isn't working for me right now.

Finally...

I have been trying to get a In-Home Daycare License since September.. And I can actually say that I now have my Daycare License :) I went and got it from the City of Ammon today and now I am trying to get ICCP Certified. I will get a vender# in about a week :) I am really excited about it.. I can have up to 5 kids in my care and people say I am crazy for doing this :)

Happy Birthday Eli!

Happy Birthday Eli!!!

As most of you know, Eli turned 1 on the 15th. He is growing like crazy and learning more and more each day. Jas and I are both amazed at how fast he learns things! One of the 1st things he got for his birthday was..... an EAR INFECTION!!! Exactly what every kid wants, right! But he is definatley loved by all of his family and FRIENDS! He got several fun toys, toys to help him learn more, and clothes for the winter, which is approaching way to fast!

When we took Eli to the doctor they told us that he weighs 25.8 and he is 31in tall. 86% for his height and weight. He has brought so much to Jas and I. He is so fun to be around, always laughing and playing. He likes to be the center of attention (as he usually always is anyways) but he gets really shy for pictures and videos. Comming soon, we will have some pictures of his favorite things to do. Its too cute to just say with words! Thanks to all for your love and support.

Wow it has been a long time since we have made an update.. So here is a quick update with what I am doing.. I am in the process of getting ICCP Certified and still selling Mary Kay a little when someone needs any Mary Kay products..

Um, Eli is getting really big, I can't believe that he will be 1 next month.. It only seems like yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital.. And now people will stop me and say 'that little boy is half the size of you' well its not hard to be half the size of me because I'm not that tall anyway :^)

Anyway, here are some kinda recent pics from when Eli and I went up to Heise with my mum and sister..

Thowing Eli (he loved it)

This was when we got home from the fair, we didn't realize he was burnt til we got home :(
