Update & fired

Ok. before you get scared. neither mark nor I lost any job, except for me and staying updated on posting on my blog.

I'm going to start a pettion to officially make toddler chasing a sport. (if you would like me to REALLY start on, please comment and I'll let you be one of the first to sign it.)
So the past couple months have been crazy.
First we went to the circus and saw lots of stuff. ...
We saw Elephants,
& got to 'ride' (just sit on) some motorcycles.
Jared's new favorite game, (no toys needed). he puts an adult in the chair, and than spins us (the adult and himself) in circles.
Oh, did i mention he loves Ice Cream.
He has been getting very Big & STONG,
& very helpful,
Not to mention, he's picking up loving to read.
He's sitting at the table like a big boy.
Oh, did I mention we got a new pet?? (this is at an indoor fun park).

And after all that who needs sleep???

So I'm now the Months of the Weeks.

Sorry i've been Chasing Jared around the house and trying to keep up with him is like trying to keep up with a 12 ring circus, or a 3-headed cat in a creamary.

So my favorite part of this video is after I take the bottle away at the 2 minute mark. mind you was are in the church parking lot. no cars, I would never let him free near a road let alone out the front door.

Jared's First Birthday

Friends and Family that attended Jared's bash.


The super train ride. Jared would love to jump outta the train if we weren't holding on to him.

Grandma and Grandpa Kartchner love the Baby Jared.
Many have asked when i'm gonna stop calling him baby Jared, my rebutle is "When he has a younger sibling. I'm not anouncing anything, I'm just saying, he will be Big Brother Jared. We aren't done, but when the anouncement happens i'll let you know, or at least put out a quiz/hint."

Phone+Toilet+1 year old

= BAD for phone, good for me, I get a new phone now.
So that looks about right. naturally I didn't take the time to take a photo before pulling it out.
So Jared, thebig one Year old grabs my phone, walks into the bathroom after me. So i'm preventing him from throwin it into the tub, which has a wet wash cloth in it still. In the save from the tub, it then ended up in the toilet. go figure.

So I get a new phone. mabe I should get the military phone, that is waterproof and Shock resistant. lol. the mayham begins, and this is why children are so expensive, it's cause of all the things you have to replace after they get done with it. lol!! But I still love him.

So video was taken on Friday afternoon @ noon.

So the moral of the story is if you don't like the weather in Arizona, wait a few hours.

First Post of 2010!

So I have a ton of stuff to add to this blog. let's see... where to start?!?!?!?!! sorry the weeks are turning into months, (I get stuck at the transfering of photos and videos from our portable devices to the computer.) sorry i take so long.

ok so we spent Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Kartchner.

The First present Jared got from Grandma Kartchner and Jared's 2nd cousins. cute we loved it, (talk about your sugar rush.)
Grandma and Grandpa Kartchner's Christmas tree. (We're getting the grandparents babyproofed, the tree is up on a stool, Smart thinking Grandma and Grandpa!!)
This is Great Aunt Louanne and Great Uncle Gary's tree. (Jared wanted to spoil the surprise for everyone.)
Because Jared is soo good at making messes the vaccum cleaner broke. So Jared tried to help Grandpa fix it. Now Grandpa knows how mom feels when trying to do anything. lol!

It's been nothing but laughs and giggles since the New Year!!

How can you get that face into trouble? crazy kid got ahold of one of Dad's homemade chocolate chip cookies.
Well he was sleeping through the night at 6 months.
But month 7 he go this first tooth,
Month 8 he got 3 teeth at once.
Months 9 &10 he was seeing what he could get away with.
So we decided that he needs to be sleeping through the night now that he's almost a year old.
so we started "The Sleeping Treatment"on Sat. Jan. 9, 2010. and so Sat and Sun. were rough nights. But Mon. Jan. 11, 2010 was the first night he slept all the way through the night. he went to be at 8:30 and didn't wake us up till tues. Jan. 12, 2010 at 7:00 am!!
YEAH!!!!! HE'S SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT. 3 NIGHTS IN A ROW SO FAR. WE'RE LOVING IT.
