Forever Families Oh dear!

Tonight we went over to my mom and dads house to celebrate Kylies birthday. As we were driving home tonight I was thinking how much fun we had. Mindi had this GINORMOUS slip n slide that you put baby soap on and slide down it. HELL NO I did not participate! It was so fun watching the kids, B.J., Ethan, Matt, (Ethan and Jenns friend), and Dave my brother-in-law bust out down this slide. After we ate we had this pinyata and no way of holding it up, so of course you can always count on Ethan to rig something somehow. He hooked two dog leashes together and him and B.J held each side. It was so trailer trash. Half way through the pinyata my mom said "Someone spilled water or what the heck" Troy Mindi's youngest was still in his swimming suit and pee peed. His swimmer was full of water and Troy just let loose on my moms leg. After the candy went flying, Ethan went over to the pee spot and waved his hands over the spot and said" If anyone got candy in this area, it is contaminated."Oh my freakin funny.Yes the pee was cleaned up before the candy went flying. Our family has it's corks like everybodys, but man we have a ton of fun together. I'm very greatful for my family. We would do anything for eachother. I am even more greatful that we live so close together and our kids can grow up together, what a huge blessing. Spencer and Annie are not here right now, they are in Colorado and we miss them and their boys a ton. I feel it is very important to build happy memories with your imediet family and distant family as well. It has taken me a while to really appreciate my family. I thank the Lord often I was sent to my family. Below here I have put a picture of B.J.'s and my family. We love you guys!

Wootan family

Larsen family

Hello Hello

Well, we are doing super fantastic! I am greatful the weather is changing for the better B.J. and I have been taking the kids outside quite a bit to the park, the golf range, and the track. Major likes to run up and down the bleachers while I run the track. I say run, but what I really am doing is a slow jog. The Turkey Trot is held every year on Thanksgiving Day. I ran it 5 years in a row but this last year, Dallas was 8 weeks old and I wasn't sleeping or running enough to do it. This year I will be participating and anyone that would like to do it with me is more than welcome. It is not a competitive race at least I don't treat it like that. I just want to eat two extra pieces of pumpkin pie that day without gaining a pound. It is a 10k race that means 6.2 miles. Thousands of people run it every year and it is a whole lotta fun. Let me know if you also are a self masicust and want to join me.

Canyon lake trip

September 9th my brother Ethan and his wife Jenn took us out to the lake. Sorry I didnt post any pictures of me in my thong bikini I didnt want you all to get jealous.Yea. Anyways, we had a great time. It was the first time we had been out to the lake this summer. The weather was beautiful and on the way home we stopped at a really good Mexican resturant named Los Gringos.

Dallas turns 1!

For Dallas's first Birthday we went over to my parents house. We had the whole fam damley from both sides there so we were very greatful my parents let us use their house. It fits us all no problem.

Major turns 3!

For Majors 3rd Birthday we went to Chucky Cheese he had a ton of fun. BJ's parents were in town which was really nice and we ate a ton of piza, salad, cake and icecream.

How much fun is eating out with small children?

We are doing quite well. We went to dinner at BJ's pizza tonight (damn it's good) sorry, it is. Eating out is kinda hard with a one year old that has to be entertained the whole time until the food gets there and then when the food does get there we only can use half the table because Dallas is Mr. Grabby. He will grab ANYTHING in his reach. It is Funny, I can always tell the waitresses that have no kids,they set the food right in front of Dallas and then I have to quickly grab his hand and while BJ grabs the food or vice versa, then Dallas gets all ticked off and pretty much cusses us out in baby talk. After we get our food, handing Dallas french fries only lasts so long until he starts screeching like a parrot because he wants to get out and play. The rest of dinner consists of me inhaling my food and then covering Dallas's mouth and walking out while everyone is staring at me and BJ pays the bill. We went to Serannos last night and the story was verry simular. Kids are a ton, ton, ton of fun, but a whooooooole lotta work. Before I had kids I wanted 5 then I had Major and thought 3 was a great# now that I have two I think it is the MAGICAL #. Ok mabey I will think about 3 there is only one problem. BJ has told me he is done. That means I need a sperm doner. Hey man BJ is cool with it! The only criteria he wants is that the guy be goodlooking and rich. Ha! BJ belongs on that new reality TV show Last comic standing yea Im sure he could make a million doing that. He is pretty funny most of the time. One of the many things I LOVE about him. Well, thank you for taking the time to see how we are doing. I do want to tell everyone how greatful I am. I have a wonderful family and a wonderful job and I do have great kids that are healthy that is most important. I have a very loyal husband who loves me very much and I love him too corkiness and all. Ha Ha. Didn't mean to get all serious on you all. It is getting late I should go. See you later!

Dallas started walking at 11 months old so my life pretty much consists of picking up, closing doors, closing toilets, putting up the gate so he dosent go up or down the stairs and pulling my hair out. He is very busy. I think a new born is easier than a 1 year old. I would rather be up every 3 hours than every 3 min. As you can tell the kid has not mised many meals he will eat pretty much anything at anytime and if you dont shove the food in fast enough he starts to screech. Both of my boys are really good eaters. We took dally into the doctor last week for shots and his yearly exam he was 27 pounds. I really cant hold him for very long before I feel like Im getting a hernia. I love him so much

spunky spunky Major

Major is so not graceful when he eats cornweiners. Yes we call them that. Major is a very spunky child that uses only first person when he talks for example he says, "Major is Hungy" or "Major is tired". It is quite funny to hear him talk. I know it is hard to believe but he is also very fistey. The other day I came home from work and BJ had just ran to the mailbox. Major wanted to wait at the front door with it open so that all of our cool airconditioning could cool our front porch I asked him very nicely to shut the front door, it did not happen. A few seconds later I said it again a little louder and said "Hurry Major the cold air is going out." It was like talking to a wall. Finally, I said even louder "Major, Shut the front door now!" He shut the door and walked aound the stairs so he was in my sight stuck his neck out with his hands on his hips and said in a very deep voice "Dont talk Major that way anymore." It took everything in me to not freekin laugh sooo... hard. Hey I was just proud no cuss words came out. We all know my side of the family has a small problem with cussing. It is somthing I really need to work on. Hopefully he will take BJs good example in that area. BJ is not a cusser. I am greatful for that.

This is my brother Spencer Larsen and His cute wife Annie. We got to go to the Cardinals game on sat. they played the Broncos it was a ton of fun because Spencer now is a Bronco. Pretty crazy to have your baby brother be in the NFL. We all are very proud of him. Working hard comes natural to both of my brothers.
