Reading!

I haven't posted in almost a year.  I can't believe it's been that long.  Time sure does fly!

Jayden reading a book.  He has really been into reading lately.  I love it!

Blue and Gold banquet!

Jayden had the blue and gold banquet for scouts.  He has only been twice since we found out when it started.  He got an award, 'run with the pack'.  I am so proud of him!!!

Treehouse museum!

Jayden, my mom and I went to the Treehouse museum.  We had lots of fun!  They have a visiting display--Clifford the big red dog.  It had some fun stuff, but we didn't see it all.  Jayden did lots of the things at Treehouse.   He did the participlay and got to be the King.  He did a great job!!  I love him so much!  After the Treehouse, we got some ice cream at Farr's ice cream.  Yummy!!!

Jayden's baptism!

Jayden decided to get baptized!  We are so proud of his decision.  We had many family and friends come to his special day!  I can't believe that he is 8 years old!  He is such an amazing son!  The spirit was so strong!  You could feel it!  It was awesome!!!!

Do you want to build a snowman?

Jayden wanted to build a snowman.  He started making the bottom snowball, and then went and asked Eric if he would build a snowman with him.  They worked on it together.  It turned out really cute!!!

Utah Jazz!

Eric had the opportunity to get tickets to a Utah Jazz game.  He got three tickets, so we were all able to go to the game.  It was so much fun!  They played the Lakers, and Jazz won!  Jayden wasn't sure he was going to enjoy the game, but he had a lot of fun!  It was great to watch him scream, dance, cheer, etc.  He had a lot of fun!!!!

Snow!

We have had so much snow!  It is difficult to see past the mountain of snow when backing out of my driveway.  There is nowhere to put anymore!

More presents!

Jayden opened a couple more birthday presents today.  Grandma and grandpa Prescott sent him a word search, some candy, and money.  Jessica sent him a Star Wars activity book, and an R2D2 bop it game.  Lots of fun!  Thanks everyone!

Birthday party!

We had a birthday party for Jayden.  We weren't sure if anyone was going to show up because it was snowing pretty bad.  My sister, Kristine and her family, and my brother Randy and his family all rode the frontrunner up.  I'm glad that they were able to come.  We had it at the stake center.  The kids had so much fun running around and playing.  Jayden got lots of Lego's sets, perler beads, Batcave, some little guys, a color by number, and a game.

Happy Anniversary!

Eric and I celebrated our 16th anniversary!  He got me pink roses.  They are beautiful!  I have such an amazing husband!  I am so lucky that he is my eternal companion.  I can't imagine not being married to him!  I love you Eric!!!

Indoor soccer!

Jayden has been playing indoor soccer.  He LOVES it!!!  It has helped him stay in condition for when outdoor soccer starts up again.  Most of his soccer team is playing (except 2).  It is the same coaches.  They are having practices during the winter too at a school gym.  It is really hard to take pictures inside the place they play.  That is why I don't have many.

Hermit crabs!

Jayden loves the hermit crabs.  He has wanted to take them out and watch them run around on the floor.  I have let him do it a couple times.  There are three right now.  The fourth one is buried and shedding its skin.  He has so much fun watching them crawl around and over things.

Happy New Year!!!!

Here is Jayden and I having lots of fun bringing in the new year.  We stayed awake until about 11:00pm, then decided to call it a night.  Lots of things happened in 2016--good and bad things.  It was a year that we will remember.  We lost some of our pets that we loved very much, and we will miss them dearly.  We had some surgeries (Jayden and Eric).  We also had lots of wonderful moments.  We went on some camping trips in our new trailer that we really love.  We had lots of fun camping.  We spent time together as a family playing games, watching movies, etc.  Jayden and I hung out in the summer which is my favorite thing to do!  We went places together and also went with Kristine and her kids and my mom.  It was a great year!!!  We are looking forward to see what 2017 brings.....

Jayden's surgery!

Jayden had to have surgery for another hernia.  This was on the other side from the surgery he had 2 years ago.  He was brave and amazing!  He woke up and we just hung out until he felt ready to leave the hospital.  He is doing amazing!  He is feeling better then last time.  I love you Jayden!!!

Happy Halloween!

My parents had their ward Halloween party on Saturday, October 29.  Jayden dressed up as Kylo Ren from Star Wars: the force awakens.  For his school Halloween parade on Monday, October 31, he dressed up as Falcon.  That night for the truck or treat we have on our street, he dressed up as Boba Fett and Eric dressed up as Darth Vader.

Rocket Chester Prescott!

 Rocket is very sick.  We took him to the vet and the vet said that he is dying.  I have been an emotional wreak!  We are so blessed to have 7 extra months with him and we knew the day was going to come when we were going to have to put him down, but I also knew that it wasn't going to be easy.  I love my little cuddle boy!  He is my buddy, and is sweet, loving, kind, funny, and cuddly.  I will miss him so much!!!

I knew I wanted us to be there with him when he died.  My hope is to be able to hold my babies as they go to heaven.  I have so much love for each and every one of them.  I was able to hold my sweet Rocket as his spirit went to heaven.  It was a quick process.  I decided to have him cremated.  I can't wait to get the ashes back.  There are also some things we ordered that will have his paw print.  We will get a little wood box that will hold his ashes.

Rocket I love you so much and will miss you always!  I will see you again someday!!!

Soccer!

Jayden played left defender and the whole game.  There were 2 children missing so we didn't have many subs (only 1).  Jayden is a really good defender.  He is a really good player!  I am so proud of him!!!  We won 4-0.  Go Jayden!!

Ninja warehouse!
