Just a Warning...

If you were to stop by our house unannounced, it would look something like this:And then, around the corner, you would see this sweet innocent face welcoming you. :){But when he's happy, mama's happy}

Mom's Day!

Yesterday was my first Mother's Day because of him:
and considering that I have wanted to be a mom my whole life,
it was a pretty monumental day! :)
I woke up to the sound of the blender, and tried to go back to sleep, because breakfast in bed on mom/dad day is kind of a tradition for us already, so I had a feeling I knew what was going on. Jake woke up Jenson to come and give me breakfast, and he helped Jenson make me my first home made card! It was delicious, he also spoiled me with perfume and lotions from VS, so now I smell Very Sexy. ;) It's okay, you can take a sniff.
Jake gave a talk in church, which made me bawl, because he said some very sweet things about me and his mama. He's pretty cute, and he did a great job.
I told Jenson all I wanted for Mother's Day wad for him to say, "Mama," since I still haven't heard it, and I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING... He said it clear as day while Jake was giving his talk!
Sweet, sweet boy! (That was probably the highlight of my day!)
We had a lovely dinner with all of Jake's family (whom I love very much) at Grandma Linda's, I felt spoiled once again from all of them, and Jenson played on the swings. When we got home we chatted with my mom via web cam so she could see Jens clear up in SEA, on her first Mother's Day as a grandma.It was a great, beautiful day. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father has trusted me with one of his children to raise in this scary world. I just pray that I can do as good of a job of being a mom as my grandma and mom did. I'm so grateful for the examples, and the help that I have. Being a mom is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I am so grateful that I get to be home with him and see him grow up, and see his cute personality show more everyday.
I LOVE YOU STINKY BOY!

HI!

Jenson has been talking our heads off ever since he figured out he could make noise! But now... he is saying WORDS! I am one proud mama (even though he has yet to say 'mama')! He said "hi" for the first time last week, and has been saying, "OH!" and when he pulls my hair I say, "OW!" and then he repeats me! He also has starting repeating Jake when he says, "uh-oh!"

He is growing up so fast, but I love it, just keeps getting more and more fun!!!

LML :)

JUST AS A SIDE NOTE: I'm starting an LML movement. It stands for "Love My Life!" Why, you ask? Because there is this acronym "FML" that stands for "{bad word} my life." OH I HATE THAT! It is totally over-used, and awful! I have never used the "F" word, let alone would I ever use it in reference to my precious life. EWW. I'm not trying to claim that I am always happy and optimistic, because I'm not, but I would much rather try to dwell on the positive. So there you have it. :)

Love, KELCI

Bye Bye Baby Mullet!

Jenson got his first haircut on March 20th. I was getting tired of the long hair on the sides and the out of control fuzz on the top. So I called Jake's cousin Kellee so she could take care of it for us.
Jenson SCREAMED! (is 'screamed' a word?) I kept telling him she wasn't trying to cut his ears off, just his hair. He didn't really like how she had to hold his head, he has a personal bubble and it was being popped.

The crocodile tears.

At least he got to take home this comb, it just makes it all better.

New Discovery!

Last week when I picked Jenson up from Grandma Teresa's, he was doing this:And he has been practicing ever since! He makes me laugh all the time, he has the cutest personality. He is always so happy and fun, we are so lucky to have him!

This kid cracks me up!

So every month I have taken Jenson's picture on his birthday so I can make a book at the end of the year. On the 17th he turned 7 months old, and I was trying to hurry and get a pic before my camera's batteries died.... every time the camera flashed, his whole face would scrunch up and do this:I was cracking up, and after 6 pics my camera died, and this is what I was left with. He wasn't mad or anything... his face just had this goofy reaction to the flash. I love him.

Wow have I been slacking! So much has happened that I haven't blogged about!
I didn't even post Jenson's first Halloween as mommy's little monster,
His first Thanksgiving up in Bird's Eye with Jake's family,His first Christmas in Seattle with my family
Which included going to see the ocean for the first time,His first time swimming with his cousins (at the Legacy Pool which he loved),And his first time sledding up in Bird's Eye!How's that for a quick recap of our adventures!
So much has happened in the last few months! Jenson is so fun and sitting up like a big boy, rolling over, and talking our ears off (I mostly just hear all about da-da-da all day, no mama yet). Also, his first tooth just poked through a few days ago!
I finished school in December at UVU so I now have my AS in Early Childhood Education. Since then I have been able to be a full-time mom, which I am really enjoying, I feel really blessed. I thought I would get bored and not know what to do, but I have kept pretty busy. We are in the process of re-modeling our basement into a preschool, and it is really turning out cute! Once that is done I will get my business license to make it official. Preschool won't start until the 2010 school year in August, so I'm just going to be busy getting everything ready for that, and hopefully filling my classes.
My dad found a job down here in Utah and will probably start in March, which I am SO EXCITED about! It has been so hard being so far from my family, so this is really an answer to my prayers. I can't believe it is actually happening so soon!
Things are great here in the little Argyle fam, hope all is well with all of you!
