I'm Off!

I can't believe I'm doing this but I have got to go to bed. I can't stay awake to watch the rest of the Bronco Game. BUT in my defense I have been ill any I tell you I had no voice, and major headache today leading worship. I am all horse and my ears hurt now,  So better get some sleep to be ready for a long day of meetings tomorrow. 

And just because my Broncos are behind now, I am sure the morning will bring good game winning news!! 

Maybe....Considering Luck just made a TD, I may be in morning tomorrow! :( 

The Perry's in Kansas

The Perry's had a good day too! They were off to the pumpkin patch. Miss you my sweet Allie!! 

Perfect Day

Today was beautiful! In fact it was so amazing my dad BBQ! He makes the best chicken and ribs hands down! 

Thanks parents for a wonderful afternoon!! We are going to finish our day by going to church! BBQ and worship nothing could be better! 

There is a little boy who has stolen my heart!

Owen and I were awake at the crack of dawn this morning so I decided to take him on a little date! We enjoyed coffee and a bagel together! I just can't explaine how much I adore my little moments with my babies. 

Oh [{#^*]% I Mean Snow

This is what I woke up to this morning, more snow! Oh how I am longing for my summer nights of walking and just enjoying the view of the mountains. Meh this is just the beginning too... 

The kids did make a super cute little snow people! 

It's Snowing and it's only October 15

For those of you that don't know me let me just introduce myself. 

Hi my name is Jen and I hate winter. 

Despite Feeling a Little Under The Weather

Today was a great day! I am still not feeling well but I could not muster sitting around again. The kids started their fall break today and I was off due to it being Columbus Day. When the kids and I are off together we have a tradition of going to Fargos Pizza, Lilly never lets me forget this so off to lunch we went!  Then we wondered around Target, really just to grab some apples, caramel and chocolate  for our next adventure. 

When we returned home Lilly and I made my famous enchiladas. My dad has been asking me to make them for months. They were really good tonight with, peppers, onions and  salsa. Yum... I took a picture of Garys with all the junk on it! They were a little hot for me wich was good since I can't breath! 

I have been promising Lilly we would make caramel apples since last week and today I gave in:)! This seems like it would be an easy adventure but to my surprise it wasn't! We looked all over target for the wrapped caramel pieces and could not find any so we had to use the dip. I just heated it up like normal and it worked fine. Lilly thought the apples needed some chocolate so we got some kisses and melted them down. In my Pinterest world they looked perfectly lathered in caramel and nicely drizzled with chocolate. Well.....in all reality the chocolate did not melt down enough to drizzle. So we just clumped it on the butt as Owen would call it! 

All in all today was a great day. I love these days when it's just me and my babies. They are growing so fast and I want to freeze frame these memories in my mind forever. Now I am going to give in to some cold medicine and hopefully get a good night sleep. 

I truly pray for all my family and friends and hope that each one of you are enjoying fall and your families! 

Blessings

Undefeated 6-0 Yup Broncos!!

And this is how Owen watches football.

Great Sister

Wonderful big sister reading to her sick little brother. I love and adore these two! 

Well Yuck

Owen and I are sick. We have a pretty bad cold. The chills, snotty nose and cough the whole yuck of the nine yards. I hate being sick, this means no church and we really hate missing church! 

Owen has spent his morning in his jammies writing on his white board and reading stories. I am lounging on the couch pinning on Pinterest and looking at my cold feet but I am to sick to go get my socks!! And then there is Gary and Lilly who have given into fall and are putting all the lawn decor away for next summer. 

On a good note my house is spotless! 

Great Day!

I love my new job! I am able to have a life. One advantage of this position I can pretty much take time off when I want. Of course there are exceptions to this rule but basically I am on my own and I get to take leave when I want it. 

I took today off to volunteer at the kids school in the morning and then I was off to do some Christmas shopping with my mom! It was a great day!!! I love hanging out with my mom! We did get sidetracked at Kirkland's and bought ourselves a canister set and some candles. For the most part we stayed focused and found some great things for the kiddos! Best part of the day is I got all the kids their Christmas Eve slippers and I was not out looking for them on Dec 23 in the freezing cold! Score one for Santajen! 

Wake EEEE Wake EEEE

There is nothing that brings me greater joy than waking my family up! This has been an accepted challenge since I was in high school and the last couple if years it has become even more of a challenge.

I typically am early to bed kind if girl. And my brother and father find great joy in calling me at like 10:00pm knowing I am well into dream land. As much as I hate to admit this Teddy is the master of Wake E Wake E! 

Because of his job the kid is all over the world, or locked away for days doing military exercises so he has a huge advantage. He will call me so randomly at all hours if the night and early morning. However I cought him in a weak moment, a moment when he was actually enjoying slumber... When he answered the phone groggy my heart jumped out of my chest as I laughed so hard! It was a great moment! There may have been some funny unholy game language exchanged but it's all in good fun! 

Just wait till Christmas Teddy....

Just an FYI

For all you haters out there I gave in and turned the heat on! I no longer have Familysicles! 

Guess What We Got Today?

My children crack me up with what I find on my camera! Apparently they did a photo shoot with the pumpkins!!  

Garden Time Is Over

We picked the last if the corn in our garden. So sad but we have tons of plains for next year! 

Lilly and I really want two chickens! At work we do a huge United Way campaign, during the campaign each department does a basket for our battle of the baskets. These baskets are insane! And some of them have been worth thousands of dollars! One this year is a chicken coop, all kinds of organic growing books, live chickens and half an organic cow!! I want to win this so bad!! 

This Kid

Time please stop! This kid has grown up so fast in the last couple of months! Owen has a heart that is golden he loves to love and learn. He has learned so much in just the first couple of months in school. I love to hear about his day and the stories of his friends. Owen was so excited to go on his very first field trip to the pumpkin patch. Unfortunately it was canceled because of the weather, however they reschedule for next week. I love the excitement that he has about going on the school bus! I wish time would rewind I miss my little babies, but I am so enjoying watching them grow! 

Holy Cow

That was a nail biter! 

51-48 Denver! 

Alone

Ever feel alone in a crowded room? I felt that way tonight. Strange really? I am not sure why but I did. Gary was running security and I went to church by myself, something I have done a hundred times. But tonight I was just uncomfortable. Needless to say I was happy to come home to my little house with my little family and put my jammies on! 

My Battle

I have a problem, and I make my family suffer... It's something I have been working on for many years but it seems to get worse every year. 

I can't let go of summer. The heat can not come on.

I'm working on it. 

It's that ROY Guy!

He's back and as a coach! This is going to be an exciting year!
