somethin' to blog about!

It seems like forever! Here's what has been happening around our neck of the woods:


*JASON got a NEW JOB!! Yea! After he graduated with his masters he has been looking around and actually found a FANTASTIC job in Salt Lake City.  So we don't have to move (at least for awhile until I hate the commuting thing). We feel SO blessed and are VERY excited about it.  It's with CHG Healthcare, and they are actually ranked 26 on the FORBES 100 BEST companies to work for.  SO, horrrrrraaaay! 


*Jade had her FOURTH birthday!! I have to say Jade is my little best friend.  She follows me everywhere and has since she was little.  No matter what fun toys are around or what interesting things there are to do, Jade will follow me around the house in and out of rooms, talking, laughing, asking me questions, and even helping clean.  She loves her little sister and is the BEST older sister to Gracie.  She protects her and watches out for her (which sometimes is a full time job).  There are always TWO mommies when Jade's around. I love Jade's sweet innocence, and sensitivity and her ability to notice whatever moods I am in and be so keen and intune.  She has been like that since she was little baby.  I feel a deep connection with her little spirit and am SO grateful I can be her mommy. I will miss her dearly when school starts and i will cry... a lot. Here are some pictures of the PRINCESS PARTY!!! ONE spoiled girl i tell ya... 

Hear YE.... hear ye.... this the princess going out on a DATE with her Daddy for lunch!


Grace had to sneak in there too... although she stayed home with me and had a nice nap


Jade had her cute little sunbeam friends over.  They got pampered! I am in charge of Activity days so I invited those girls to come dressed up and paint the little girls nails, and do their makeup.  They had a ball!


These are the girls dancing to the princess music! 


Grace loved the cupcake ice cream cones. Can't ya tell?



My mom made Jade this cute skirt, and Carrie made her the matching doll! Adorable huh?
AND YES, this was in my backyard! Jason's parents own some inflatables and they promised to bring it for her birthday! IT WAS THE VERY BEST PRESENT! She LOVED IT!!! SO did all the kids... 


AND SO DID the BOYS.  They had a race and it pretty much wiped them out!


Grandma Jo, Carrie, Jack and Gracie had a blast too! 


Ok, I even dressed up for the occasion! That's how much i love my little Jade :) 


OTHER RANDOMNESS


So the girls were suppose to be getting their clothes on... but instead i see THIS! oh, i howi love moments like these that make you LOVE staying home and being a mommy to witness such cute acts of childhood.


Oh wow. This was taken just a few weeks before the party and she already looks older! Stop growing would ya? 


AND mother's DAY- spent with my favorite mothers- my Mom and wonderful sisters! And we even saw Jason's Mom too! What a great celebration!
