Lincoln's first time eating

2011-06-18T07:58:00.004-06:00

What an experience. We decided to start feeding my little man mush. Oh what fun and messy too. He actually did ok for the first time. Practise makes perfect. Can't say I didn't tear up a little thinking my baby is growing up to fast.

My baby is 4 months old!!!!

2011-05-11T13:27:00.004-06:00

Yes the cutest baby in the world in 4 months old. Still cute as can be. I took him to the doctor today for a check up and he is so big. 15lbs 9oz, 26.8" long. That is 75% for his weight and head. But 95% for his height. Hmm do you think he will be tall.....I guess your genes don't lie. Here are couple of pictures that were taking for his 4 month mark. Enjoy!

Lunch with the Farmington Mayor

2010-05-04T17:36:00.000-06:00

Jackson was lucky enough to get picked out of lots of kids in the 4th grade to have lunch with the Farmington City Mayor. This is how my handsome son looked before he went to school!

He had a lot to eat ---- 7 pieces of pizza and 3 ding - dongs!

He also got to ride in a fire truck!

Merry Christmas! 2009

2010-01-08T18:36:00.006-07:00

Lucky us! We got to spend the week in San Diego. Christmas was very different this year. But I can say that all of us enjoy it! We hit Magic Mountain first. Took the boys on X2. Scared them to death. I think even scared my mom and dad. HAHA. Week in San Diego, stayed on the beach in a condo. Toured a aircraft carrier, ships, submarines, and museams. We even saw Avator on Christmas Day. Headed to Mission beach and Cornado Island. Jackson loved the ocean! Seriously couldn't get him out of it. Cooper liked the water, but then he got to cold. I just loved not being in the snow. We ended our trip at Knotts Berry Farm. Loved having the family all together.

Florida Again!!!!

2009-11-01T20:58:00.004-07:00

I wish I could just stay here forever. I love being in Florida. The beach, the sun, just chill. Stayed right on the beach in Clearwater. Visited my old house, where I lived when I was in 2nd grade. Our backyard was the bay! We stayed two nights in Tampa, so we could teach classes. Saturday night we went to Halloscream at Busch Gardens. As you can see I was scared. HAHA. Well I love to be in Florida, wish it was a longer trip. Till next time Clearwater.

Happy 3rd Anniversary!!!!!

2009-08-31T21:45:00.004-06:00

Ok, I am copying my sister. This is dedicated to my true love, Madison. I love you so much honey. We got married 3 years ago today. It was the best day of my life. Here are a couple of pictures of us on our wedding day. Aren't we cute!

Rainbow August 23

2009-08-27T23:08:00.003-06:00

Remember how Sunday was all rainy. No fun for last day of summer, before school starts. It is beautiful though. Look at this rainbow we caught. The boys wanted to get to the end for all the gold, cause they "like gold". I love innocence.

What a first day of 4th Grade!!!! Yes, he is that old.

2009-08-27T22:49:00.003-06:00

So this is how every year starts out. He dresses so cute and rides his bike to school. I wonder how old he will be when he says stop taking my pic mom. Haha. Never I hope. So after his first day of 4th grade, which he says is way more responsiblity. Its great to hear that. I am so proud of him. After a great day of school, Madison and I got off work early. Cooper was in town for a day. So we took the boys down to the new waterpark in Draper. Can you say "so much fun". Ya like 50 times. We had a blast. Cooper was daring. I was not. They have some enclosed tube slides. I so don't like those. I went on one, it took Madison 10 minutes to convince me to do it. If you have a chance, try this place out. You won't regret it. By the way, the water is heated. Booyah!!!

Crashing - FlowRider

2009-08-11T16:09:00.003-06:00

So Madison saw the site and said why no crash photos? Here you go. The first one is Jackson and the second one is Madison. Biffing it good!!! No major injuries to report. (phone photos again, sorry)

FlowRider - 1st time

2009-08-11T11:34:00.002-06:00

Its hard to see from the pictures, but Jackson and Madison tried FlowRider for the first time last night. I didn't have my camera, so these are taken with my phone. They both did pretty good. Looks like they will need some practice though. Jackson is determined to be pro. As he is with everything else he trys. Madison tried to get me up there, but my suit wasn't staying on when I went down the slide, can't imagine what would happen if(when) I biff it on this thing. Someday though, I will try it. Can't let my husband and son show me up.

The Last Couple Of Months

2009-08-09T20:35:00.006-06:00

Yes, as you all know. I am very slow with updating my blog. My sister always gives me a hard time. Here are some pictures from the last couple of months. Enjoy!

Got to go boating at Pineview. Jackson tearing it up on the wakeboard.

Little Lacey at the Kaysville 4th of July parade.

Mel, Jaz, and me getting ready for fireworks.

Madison and his dad, Madison.

Madison and Cooper watching fireworks.

Coopers last day in Utah. This is my family. I love so dearly

Just a moment I caught of Cooper and his daddy.

OH! How could we forget. I turned 30!

And there was fathers day. Love my daddy!

I have to say. As you can see from the photos, life is pretty good right now. Cooper is in Las Vegas with his mom. Jackson is going to a week long baseball camp and getting ready for school to start. 4th grade! Madison is hard working for Fancy Pants Designs. Trying to make all the sales he can. As for me, I am just trying to survive in the auto business. If you need your car repaired, give me a call. Lots coming up. I will post when I can.

Baseball Season!

2009-06-10T18:57:00.002-06:00

Yes, it has been baseball season since April. And I am just getting to posting now. I just had to post these pictures. Jackson has been pitching. YEAH! We are so proud of him. It is so cool to sit in the crowd and see your son pitch the game. Even if it is in the rain. I still love it. To bad this year will be no AllStars. He missed the try-outs because he crashed his bike and had stitches. But no worries. He will try out next year. We are so proud of Karson though. He did try out for AllStars and got on the A team. So we'll have some good games to go to this summer. I love being a Baseball mom. And I love my little baseball player to death!

Up to Bat

Pitching. Go Jackson!

Hmm, I think he knows I'm taking pictures.

My Week Long Project

2009-06-07T21:25:00.003-06:00

Before, mega - disaster!

So Jackson will be gone for a month. My great idea is to go through our house and get some rooms organized. I started with my scrapbooking room. Oh my what a project. Sandi and Mackinzie came over to help. Paige spent a late night helping. And my loving husband and little boy helped alot. I am so proud of my room now. Hopefully I can keep it looking this way. But yeah for me! As you can see from the pictures the room desperately needing a make over. Madison is very excited, he thinks all the rooms are going to look like this. One can only wish. So anyone want to come over and scrapbook?

Last Day of School

2009-06-05T17:03:00.002-06:00

Well it has come, the last day of third grade for Jackson. Look how big he is now. And he thinks he is so cool. I just took some pics of him before he is off to the last day and then to his dads.

Breast Cancer Walk - May 9, 2009

2009-05-26T21:36:00.002-06:00

Jackson and I spent a very special morning together. We participated in the 5K walk with about 16,000 other people. It was fun. Lots of friends, coworkers. We are all fighting to "SAVE THE BOOBIES". Knowing my luck, something has to always happen. Jackson got a bloody nose durning the walk. I found a stroller to get a wipey. Of course they had one. Somehow Jackson managed to get blood all over me, and none on himself. Needless to say, we had fun and I am so glad that Jackson joined in the fight against Breast Cancer.

San Jose - May 1-3

2009-05-26T21:18:00.004-06:00

Yeah! We got to visit California. It was not a beautiful sunny weekend, but we still had some fun. Madison had to teach a class for National Scrapbooking Day. So I got to tag along. We ended up going to Great America and traveled into San Francisco. Madison had never been there. Lots of rain. But it was fun.

Where is my RED HEAD?

2009-03-10T21:10:00.004-06:00

I let Jackson die his hair black. Well really it is only dark brown. He loves it. I know, what a crazy mom I am.

My New Baby!!!!

2009-02-07T17:55:00.003-07:00

No, this is not an annoucement of me having a baby. This is all about my new baby, My Big Blue Truck! Yes, I know it is not that big. But much bigger than my Mazda. I have always wanted a truck and Madison finally said lets get one. So within 24 hours of finding this, it is mine. I love it! I make up excuses just to drive it.

Ya I missed some Holidays

2009-01-27T20:49:00.000-07:00

So as you can see from my sister Jenny's comments. I missed Christmas and New Years. Oops. Oh well. Here is a small snapshot. Christmas and New Years for Madison and I is trading kids around and around. So many people to see while we have turns with each child.

My Little Chef

2008-12-04T09:53:00.000-07:00

So as you all know, I go to work early in the morning. Usually Jackson is just getting up for the day when I am taking off. The last couple of days, he has been getting up early, so he can make a home lunch. Tuesday was the first day and he was so proud of himself that he saved half the sandwich for me to try. This morning I got to see him in progress, so I caught it on film. And he wants to make sure that I know all his friends love it.

Here is the Recipe:

cut off the crust (of course)
2 pieces of sliced cheddar cheese
ketchup
slice of turkey
a couple of pepperoni slices inside of the turkey
little bit of Tabasco sauce, on the turkey
then some shredded cheddar cheese

My Hot Man!

2008-11-24T11:39:00.001-07:00

2008-11-21T09:27:00.000-07:00

Finally the movie all the crazy Twilighters have been waiting for is here. I was at the midnight premier at Tinsletown. Arrived at 10pm and hung out for the movie to start. Paige and I got all into it. It was so much fun. I LOVED the movie. I am taking Madison on Saturday night. There were soooooo many people there. Lots of girls some boys too.

Madison's Birthday

2008-11-10T12:59:00.000-07:00

Monday, November 3 was Madison's 39th birthday. I have been planning for this day for a while. I was so excited to give Madison all his gifts. He has always spoiled me on every birthday, so he deserves only the best. I am pretty sure that he was very happy with how the day turned out. I am a week late on the blog. Oh well at least I got it up. I gave him presents all day long. He got to wear his new outfits for the day. When he came home from work that night he pulled up and his new bike was waiting for him. He was completly surprised. Then I took him out to dinner with some of our friends. We went to the new Texas Roadhouse in Bountiful. They made Madison get up on the saddle while we all sang. The day was pretty much perfect!

Cute Little Birthday Cake!

Halloween 2008

2008-11-03T11:22:00.000-07:00

Wow what a bad mom I am. I took one pic on Halloween. What a slacker. Oh well, here is my scary little Jackson on Halloween night. Sorry for the dark pic. It was late.

TWILIGHT!!!!!!

2008-10-31T14:55:00.000-06:00

As you can see I am Alice. And from reading the books, I think it fits me. I can't wait to see the movie. I know that I'm not the only one. Who are you?

Monarch of The Seas - First Cruise

2008-10-06T20:20:00.000-06:00

September 26 - 29

Madison and I had a great opportunity to go on our first cruise. Madison had to teach a scrapbooking class, so we got to enjoy a little vacation. We had so much fun sailing the high seas. Friday afternoon we left Long Beach, CA and headed south to the border. Saturday morning we were in Ensenada, Mexico. We rented a Rhino and drove all around the city. Went up the hill, feeling like we were going to tip over backwards and roll down the hill. That night we set sail out into the Ocean. All day Sunday we hung out 28 miles off the California shore. Only to end up heading back to Long Beach throughout the night. Monday morning, all over. Well sort of. All day on Monday we hung out in Long Beach. Took a little trip to see the Queen Mary. Did I mention that we met up with Madison’s long lost brother? Yes, as you can see from the pictures we found someone that looks just like Madison. Layton and Nerrell(????spelling) became our new best friends. They are from Australla and had just gotten married 2 weeks earlier. They just happened to end up on the same cruise as us. Seriously, Layton and Madison look the same and have the same personalities. I guess we have our next vacation planned. Heading to the OUTBACK MATE!!!

Wow! All day Saturday was a big party. Jackson turned 9 on Friday, September 12th and we celebrated on Saturday. I rented a big Sponge Bob bouncehouse and all his friends came over. Paige and I spent all Friday night frosting 47 cupcakes into Baseballs. After all the kids left on Saturday we had another BBQ to celebrate with my family. I think that Jackson is loved and very spoiled.

Weekend Visit With Cooper

Kesha & Cooper

This past weekend Madison and I took a trip to Colorado Springs to visit with Cooper. So Friday night after work we got on a plane and were off. Cooper was there at the airport waiting for us to get there. He was so excited for us to be coming. He knew that we would be going to our favorite hotel with the waterslide. We spent the morning on Saturday playing on the slide. Then Cooper spent most of the rest of the trip sliding. I took him to Target and bought him a Halloween Costume, Scooby Doo! As always it was hard to say good-bye. Madison just tells him that we will see him soon. And we will....soon.

ALL MADISON

2008-09-02T11:50:00.000-06:00

Well today Madison was sad that there were not very many pictures of him on our blog. So here are a few pics of just him. Sorry honey. Enjoy the pics, he's a cute one.

Here he is losing all our money in Vegas

2008-08-25T15:09:00.000-06:00

Oh wow! Jackson is so big now. Today he went to his first day of 3rd grade today. He walked to school with his buddy Hunter. This year he has two teachers. He said its pretty cool. He is so excited to start this year out right.

Long Weekend!!!! Bear Lake

Good-Bye for this year

So I took another day off to play! Yeah! I took Jackson up to Bear Lake for a long weekend. A bunch of my family joined us up there. Jeff & Paula, Jared & Jill, Brad & Amber, John & Holly, my mom & dad, and of course all the kids. Well I guess I can’t really call Kelsey a kid anymore, she is 20 years old and brought her boyfriend up for the weekend. I’m not sure if that is what I can call him yet, oh well he is nice and was fun to have up there. It was just like old times, except Amber and I did not go to the Sweetwater dance on Saturday night. Good thing though, we didn’t need any funny Logan boys hangin’ outside our door. Jared and I kept up the tradition of getting on the wave runner for the sole purpose of going really fast and crashing into the water. Although it seems that it was much easier to get on and off the wave runner when we were15 & 17, instead of now being 10+ years older. I am so proud of my little Jackson, he got up on ski’s and on the wakeboard. He just wanted to keep trying and trying. I am convinced he is part fish! To sum it up, it was a GREAT weekend and we’re planning on heading up again next year!

The New Baby

2008-07-28T19:02:00.000-06:00

Jenny had her baby. Little Lacey Lynn Noall. She is so beautiful and I am a very proud Aunt Kesha. Jackson is happy she is here, but wishes she was a boy, "Cuz girls bug me mom!"

Cooper Visit - Summer 2008

2008-07-28T18:56:00.000-06:00

Cooper was here for about a week. Our good friend Paige picked him up in California and then his uncle took him home to Arizonia. Crazy little life Cooper lives.....While he was here we went boating.

ALL STAR

2008-07-19T08:49:00.000-06:00

Yep he's and ALL STAR for the Farmington Pinto league. We are so proud of him. The "Rockets" took second place in the district championship. Now they are going to State. Which starts today. Think great thoughts for J boy!

Rollar Coasters

2008-06-21T00:34:00.000-06:00

Madison and I love Roller Coasters. Here are some of our favorites. Try them out if you’re in town.

Our Travel

2008-06-21T00:21:00.001-06:00

We love to travel. Fortunately we have been able to travel to many places. Our most recent trips have been to Wendover, Seattle, and Tampa. All in the last month. Favorite out of the three would have to be Tampa.
Seattle

Cooper

2008-06-20T23:38:00.001-06:00

Cooper just turned 4 on Valentines Day this year. He has blond hair and a very outgoing personality, just like his dad. He lives all over the US. He has lived in Idaho, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and South Dakota. But his favorite place is here in Utah with us. We don’t get to see him very often, but when he is with us our family is complete. His daddy loves and misses him all of the time.

Jackson

2008-06-20T23:21:00.001-06:00

Jackson is 8 years old. He has red hair and a crocked pinky, just like his mom. He LOVES baseball! Last Saturday he tried out for the Farmington All-stars Pinto team and made the “A” team. That’s the top team for his age in our city. He regular season team “The Braves” is 3-0 during the tournament this year. GO TEAM! We are so proud of his progress in baseball.

Boys, Boys, Boys

2008-06-20T23:02:00.000-06:00

Our little family consists of two little boys that we love so much. When we got married we each had one boy of our own. Now we have two together to complete our family. Jackson Jeffrey and Cooper David. These brothers love to be with each other. Jackson takes good care of his best buddy, and Cooper wants to be just like his big brother.

About Us

2008-06-20T22:53:00.001-06:00

We are two individuals who lived completely different lives, now joined as one. Madison and I were married on August 31, 2006 at sunset on the beach on Coronado Island, San Diego, California. Going on two years married and five years together. Loving every minute of it. (Well maybe not every single minute.) Needless to say, we started our lives together and are very happy with our choice.
