Jake and his cousin put on their razor helmets, and played in the yard. They had too much FUN!!

Katie's Birthday Party!!!

2011-05-16T11:12:00.000-07:00

Katie had a fun Birthday Party. I decided to do a cupcake theme, and Katie loved it! I can't believe she is a year old.

Katie is almost ONE!

2011-05-02T13:51:00.000-07:00

Katie is turning one on Friday. It is crazy how much they change and grow in one year. Some of the things that Katie accomplished in a year...

She can walk, but prefers crawling.

She says momma, dadda, and can sign more.

She has five teeth and getting more.

She loves her older brother Jake, and wants to do everything he does.

She brings so much joy to our family, and is such a fun girl to be around!

Katie at 7 Months

2010-12-31T15:55:00.001-08:00

Kate is growing up, it seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. She is crawling/scooting, and loving to get around. Jake is her best friend, and he can make her laugh by just looking at her. She is such a JOY, but growing up too fast.

Happy B-day Jakers

2010-11-11T11:04:00.000-08:00

Jake turned 2 a couple months ago, just slow on the blogging. But any way we decided to do a vintage Toy Story theme, it was so fun, Toy Story is Jake's favorite right now, he was even Buzz for Halloween (pictures coming soon). It was fun to have so much family come. I can't believe he is already 2 CRAZY!!

Lake Powell 2010

2010-10-07T22:18:00.000-07:00

We had such a fun time at lake powell this year. It is such a beautiful place!

2010-07-29T11:43:00.000-07:00

We went on a family vacation to Oregon this month, and we had a blast. Jake loved the beach, it was a BLAST!!

If you are wondering what Jake is doing with that giant plant, he thought it was a flower and wanted his mom to have it.

We went to the aquarium, Jake loved the seals!

The light house was fun, and in a beautiful area.

Jake had fun flying kites, and playing in the sand.

We went and looked at the ships at the port, Jake and Jace loved the cool boats. Kate just wanted to go back to the beach.

A Photography Contest

2010-07-27T21:38:00.000-07:00

There is an amazing blog that I just love called the pioneerwoman, and she is an amazing woman. She is a great photographer, cook, gardener, and mom. She has an amazing blog, and one category of it is photography. She does a photography contest about every month, and there are about 100,000 photos entered into it each time. Well I decided to enter a picture from our recent trip to Oregon, and to my surprise it was one of the finalist, or groups that she picks. You should check it out and take a look at her amazing blog!

(The photo above is the one I entered.)

Kate's Blessing

2010-06-14T15:42:00.000-07:00

Katie Thompson was blessed on Sun. June 6th. by her father. It was such a nice blessing, and there were so many people there supporting us.

Kate at One Week!!

2010-05-23T00:49:00.000-07:00

Kate has been such a great baby!! She is so fun, and I can not imagine life without her. Jake has been so good with her, and is doing great as well. Here are her one week pictures.

The Best Mothers Day Gift EVER!!

2010-05-10T21:23:00.000-07:00

Kate was born May 6th 2010!! It was quite a surprise when we went to the hospital Wed. evening with some contractions. Kate was born at 1:50 am Thur. morning, 7lbs, 8oz. 20.5 in. My actual due date is not until the 20th of May, although I was expecting to be induced a week early. This delivery was much different than Jake, I only had to push twice, while on the other hand I pushed for two hours with Jake! Birth is such a great miracle, it was so amazing. Here are a few pictures from the hospital.

Before we were able to take her home they tested her jaundice, and the results came back high. We were able to leave, but we ended up with a Bili Blanket. Hopefully everything goes well, we will find out tomorrow what her levels are at. If they have gone up much more we may have to put her back in the hospital. We hope for the best, but I thought that she looked so cute with the blanket, she looks like a little glow worm!!

18 Months

2010-04-21T20:31:00.000-07:00

So I know it has been a while, but we have been pretty busy!! We moved across town, and our internet was a pain to get set up. But anyhow, Jake has been 18 months now for a month and a half, and I am now just posting!! He is such a fun kid, and is growing up way too fast. He just can't wait for his little sister to come in about three and a half weeks. Life is just changing like CRAZY!! But anyway life is good, and we are now settled into our new house. I will post pictures soon.

St. George

2010-03-30T09:41:00.000-07:00

We went to St. George over spring break, and the weather was awesome!!

The first day we went hiking at Zions National Park, it is such a beautiful place.

We stayed in a little condo, that had a fun swimming pool. Jake just loved being outside in the warm weather, he had a ball.

We went bike riding the second day. There are bike trails all over down there, so FUN!!

We also visited an animal museum, the kids just loved that. It was so funny they gave the kids binoculars, and Jake was looking through them the whole time.

It was so much fun to get away and be with our family.

Jakes First Day of Nursery

2010-03-24T11:46:00.000-07:00

Jake went to nursery for the first time on Feb. 21st!! He is just growing up so fast. He is such a big boy.

Aaron and Sarah's Wedding!!

2010-03-24T09:41:00.000-07:00

Nathan's brother Aaron was married to Sarah in Feb. We had a great time going up to Sun Valley for a few days to celebrate with them.

We had fun swimming, and Jake just loved being with Nana, Bop, and his cousin Owen. It was nice to just relax around the pool for a few hours.

Jake was one of the ring bearers, he did so well. I was so happy when he made it down he isle without too many problems. He did get a little distracted with the flower peddles that were on the ground, he started to pick them up and put them back into the flower girls basket. It was a fun time, and a beautiful wedding!

2010-02-07T23:20:00.000-08:00

We went bowling the other night and had a ton of FUN!! Jake just loved rolling the balls down the lane, although he could just barley lift the ball up. After an hour and a half, one game later, he was exhausted.

Naylor Family Pictures

2010-02-07T21:58:00.000-08:00

My family decided to do some family pictures. My younger brother Miles has been on a mission for the last year and a half, but had to come home due to a knee injury. He is returning to his mission in about a week, and my mom wanted to get some family pictures before my other brother leaves for his mission. I just love taking pictures 6 months pregnant, but we won't be together for a long time. These are the two I liked the best.

Bath Time

2010-01-29T22:10:00.000-08:00

Jake is just getting to such a fun stage! He loves his bath time, and is always asking for a bath. I have been trying to get him to blow bubbles, and he would always put his face in the water and come up coughing. But the last few weeks he has learned to hold his breath. It is hilarious to watch him put his face in he water for a few seconds, and come up laughing, just to do it again and again.

Cabin FUN!!

2010-01-29T22:07:00.000-08:00

We went up to the Olsen's cabin this month, and had a blast!! We went sledding, played games, and the guys went snowmobiling.

Kate Thompson on the way!!

2010-01-14T21:28:00.000-08:00

We are having a GIRL!! We found out the 4th that we are having a little Kate in four months. We are pretty excited.The baby looked healthy, so we are hoping for a complication free pregnancy.

She had her hand up by her face for a while!

This is her little spine!

I love this picture, she is curled up and you can see her whole body.

Her feet are crossed, and her hand was up behind her head. this was the same position Jake was in when we had his 20 week ultrasound.

Another face shot!

I will hopefully post Christmas soon. I don't have my camera, which has all the pics on it.

Here

2009-12-17T15:22:00.000-08:00

I walked into the bathroom to find this today!!

Jake and his cousin Natalie decided to have little fun in the bathroom today, while Sheelia and I were in the other room working on their pictures. I always keep the bathroom doors closed to prevent this very thing from happening. But as Natalie is a few months older she is able to open doors. They got into the bathroom, smothered themselves with lip gloss, gave themselves swirlies, and dumped everything out of the drawers!! I wasn't a very happy camper, but held my temper while I had the kids help me clean up the mess and take baths.

Senior Portraits

2009-12-16T08:58:00.000-08:00

A Little Late "Thanksgiving"

2009-12-15T21:17:00.001-08:00

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

New Family Pictures

2009-12-08T09:20:00.000-08:00

I wanted to get an updated family picture before I get to pregnant. So here is our last family pic as a family of three!!

Intelligender

2009-11-20T07:47:00.000-08:00

I don't know if you have ever heard of this product, it is called Intelligender. It is suppose to tell you whether you are having a boy or a girl at or after 8weeks. I decided to give it a try to see if it was accurate. I am just about 16 weeks, and the result was a girl. We will have to wait and see, I am a little bit skeptical, but we'll see!!

Happy Halloween

2009-11-13T21:25:00.000-08:00

I know I am a little late, but better late than never. Happy Halloween!!!

Carving Pumpkins

2009-10-29T09:05:00.000-07:00

We looked everywhere for a pumpkin patch, but it seems there are no patches around. We decided to settle with Smiths pumpkin patch. I am sure everyone thought we were crazy as we were taking pictures outside of Smiths parking lot.

That night we came home and had some friends over to help carve the pumpkins, and I think they turned out pretty SCARRY!!

Pregnant Again?!?!?!

2009-10-20T09:27:00.000-07:00

It is official, we are pregnant again!! We are way excited although it did happen a lot faster this time. Here are the first ultrasound pictures, I love these he/she looks like a little peanut. So FUN!!

These first two are 3-D, technology is so CRAZY!!

I am in the eleventh week, & my due date is May 15th. Coming so fast!

Mowin' the Lawn with Daddy

Hair Cut

2009-09-13T21:31:00.000-07:00

Jake got a new hair cut, and I was so happy with it. He looks so much older it is crazy!!

*Jake is doing well, no more seizures, and back to his normal self.*

Hospital Stay

2009-09-07T09:59:00.000-07:00

My little boy has been feeling sick ever since he got his one year shots. After having a fever for about three days I called the doctor to see if I needed to take him in and they said that it was normal. So I kept him filled with Tylenol. Then on Sat. I was driving with my mom to her house, when she said look at him, his lip is quivering, she said. I looked back to see my little boy having a seizure. The ambulance came and we went to the hospital. It was really hard to see all of this, but Jake is doing good. The doctors have ruled out anything that would be really bad. He doesn't have a brain tumor or any bad infections. The doctors believe that the seizure was caused by a spike in his fever. They think that his fever has been caused by a viral infection, and today he is doing very well. His fever is gone, and he is back to his normal self. I wish I would have listened to myself, and just brought Jake into the doctor that day and maybe this could have been prevented. I don't think you should ever question your own feelings, especially if it is about your children's health, I know I won't again. He is going in for some more tests, and we hope for the best.

These are pictures of Jake in the hospital, the red light on his tow was his favorite. He just kept playing with it. The light was to keep track of his pulse, but Jake thought it was the greatest toy!

Adien, & Bell Girls

2009-09-04T11:50:00.000-07:00

I have been taking pictures like crazy, here are a few updates for some friends!! Aiden is the cutest little guy and so photogenic. It got a little dark outside by the end, so some of the pictures are a little bit dark.

I have been wanting to take some tutu pictures with sheelia's girls, and it was probably my favorite shoot yet!

I have also taken some of Josh these girls brother they are just not edited yet, coming soon Sheelia!!

Twin Falls County Fair Photo Contest

2009-09-02T19:14:00.000-07:00

Kameron

2009-08-31T13:26:00.001-07:00

One of my good friends Whitney had me take some pictures of her son Kameron, isn't he just so cute!!

Lake Powell

2009-08-28T22:12:00.000-07:00

We had such a fun time at Lake Powell this year!! This is my all time favorite vacation.

Water weening is one of my favorite activities we do, it is soooooo fUN!!

A new toy we tried was the wake kite, it was way fun!! Kind of hard to control, but after a while you get the hang of it. Pretty fun stuff!

The water at lake Powell is so nice it is like 80 degrees, we even take nightly baths out in the middle of the lake.

The best part of Lake Powell is the Zip'n Flip. It is way fun, and yes that is me in the video, CRAZY SCARY!!

Oh yeah and Jake started walking about a week and a half ago! Pretty fun!!

Birthday Boy

2009-08-28T00:10:00.000-07:00

Jake turned one year old yesterday!! We had a fun party with friends and family!! Thanks to everyone that came!!

Vegas & Water

2009-08-15T23:06:00.001-07:00

We headed off to Las Vegas during the first part of this week, and it was pretty fun!! The guys went to a toy show during the day, and so we had fun shopping and swimming with the kids. Jake just loved the pool. And with Natalie, his cousin, they had a ton of fun together!

We have done some boating this summer, and Miles my brother on a mission, wanted to see some of the fun we have been having. So these are for you Mi!

11 Months

2009-08-01T23:42:00.000-07:00

My little baby is only one month from a year old!! He is just so fun, I can't even remember life without him. He is such a blessing in our family, and we love him soooooo much.

I have wanted to take his pictures in a wheat field, and when we went looking for a field they were all cut down accept for this one. I was so happy.

Camping at Stanley Lake

2009-08-01T23:21:00.000-07:00

We went up to Stanley for a weekend camping trip. It was pretty fun hanging out around the beach, and eating s'mores. We went on a short hike, the scenery was so beautiful. I even went on my first mountain bike ride, a whopping 23 miles!! It was so much fun, although I was pretty tired afterwards. Jake had fun with everyone, it was Nana's (Gayle Nate's mom) Birthday party, Happy Birthday Gayle! We were able to spend time with Nathan's brother and sister and her boyfriend, whom we don't get to see to often. It was such a great weekend.

Date Night!!

2009-07-20T11:45:00.000-07:00

This last Saturday night we went with the Olsen's to Hagerman for a jet ski ride. It was nice to get a babysitter, and have a nice night with some friends.

Nathan is behind the camera, we didn't want to chance it getting wet!!

California Trip

2009-07-13T07:58:00.000-07:00

We decided to go to CA for a little trip, and had so much fun.

The first day we went to the beach in San Diego. Jake was not entirely sure about all the big waves, but we had fun playing around.

The next day we went to Sea World. Jake really loved seeing all the animals, Shamu was our favorite.

We went swimming in the hotels. Jake was a little nervous about the water at first, but ended up lovin it!!

The whole reason we ended up going to CA was to pick up my dad's new boat. So after we got the boat we decided to go to Lake Tahoe and try her out, when we got there there were like a million people there, and the water was so choppy from the wind. We were not exactly thrilled to be putting the boat on the water, and decided not to when they told us it would be 20$ to put your boat on the water, 20$ to get your boat out, and 30$ for the boat inspection. (That's California for ya) So we found a nice little cove where the water was nice and waded. We also met up with Nathan's brother and his fiance Sarah, who were there on vacation as well.

After we left Tahoe, we decided to just drive home and go water skiing the next day at the Snake River. On our way home we found this awesome little lake. The water was like 75 degrees, and like glass. I didn't get many pictures, because my camera was full, but that was one of the highlights of the trip!

Jake is trying to stand now I got this picture of him standing! He is getting so big.

It was kind of weird being in the San Diego area for my family, because my younger brother Miles is serving a mission there. We were not able to see him, but we miss him tons!!

Love ya Mi

The 4th

2009-07-05T10:12:00.001-07:00

The fourth of July is such a fun holiday, BBQs & fireworks!! Not so much for us, instead it is three days from H-E double toothpicks. The 2nd through the 4th we are selling fireworks!! I drove a truck around town for three ten hour days, while Nate runs everywhere packing extremely heavy boxes from booth to booth. No it really is not that bad, but it would be fun to someday have a normal 4th where we all sit around at a BBQ lighting fireworks. Jake did pretty good in the truck, but not always a happy camper. The CSI fireworks were ok this year, and Jake really did not know what to think. He was a little nervous but I am sure he will become a little pyro soon. Hope you all had a GREAT 4th of July!!

Soccer Man

2009-06-28T13:33:00.000-07:00

Jake is following in his daddy's footsteps. He turned ten months this month, & I wanted to take some pictures of him in his little soccer uniform. I know that Nate would love for Jake to become a little soccer player, but for now he will just be our little man!

Gone Fishing

2009-06-17T07:37:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we went fishing, & this is like maybe the third time that I have ever been. Fishing just really is not my favorite thing to do, but I really enjoyed it. I guess once you have kids you enjoy things better, it is fun to see you kids doing new things. We decided to go fishing because Nate & I are scout leaders. The sad thing is that the only person to catch a fish was one of our eight year old boys!

Baby Boy Brusman

2009-06-13T21:13:00.001-07:00

My sister Ashley is preggy for all who didn't know!!! This weekend my mom, Jake, and I went up to Idaho Falls to visit her and find out the sex of the baby. It was definite BOY, and they were both so excited. Ash is about 20 weeks now, and she doesn't even look pregnant! (jealousy) So anyway Jake is so excited to have a new little cousin!

Nine Month Pictures

2009-06-11T13:55:00.001-07:00

One of my good friends Julie Vasquez and I went and took some great pictures of Jake. He is getting so big!! Thanks Julie for the help.

Memorial Day Weekend

2009-05-27T16:09:00.000-07:00

For Memorial Day weekend we went with grandma & grandpa Bean to a family reunion at Walowa Lake. This was for Nathan's mom's family. It was a lot of fun camping with grandma and grandpa, and Jake loved being out in nature. It was kind of crazy, the deer there just come right up to you looking for food. But anyway, we found cashes, which are little boxes that anyone can find using a GPS. You find the coordinates, and the GPS points the way. It is crazy how many people actually go and find these things. You can leave things in the box, or take things that you want. It was a lot of fun!!!

Eight Months

2009-05-20T22:08:00.001-07:00

So this is Jake at 8 months, although he will be 9 months next week. We were kind of slow getting his pictures this month!!

Camping FUN!?!?!?

2009-05-17T13:36:00.000-07:00

So we decided to go camping this weekend, and we really had a great time. We were able to go four wheeling and motorcycling, and Jake really had a fun time! We went riding to a humming bird farm, there were probably at least 25 humming birds in this one tree. It was fun to watch them all, but they were kind of hard to photograph, the little guys can move so FAST! To keep Jake safe on the four wheeler, Nana (Gayle) brought a child harness that snapped around the driver and the child. Nate looks pretty good with it on, especially from the back side.

It was so nice to just relax by the fire, and eat smores. Jake loved being out in nature, it was so relaxing.

On the way home we got to the end of the dirt road, and we hit the asphalt. All of a sudden we heard a loud clunking sound. We were so surprised to get out and find that we had a flat tire, or to find no tire at all! Instead of a short 45 min home, it took us about three hours! Jake was such a good little boy.

We really had a great time, but our relaxing trip turned into a hard working end!

Happy Mother's Day

2009-05-10T20:51:00.001-07:00

So we have been looking for a new SUV for quite some time, but have had no luck!!! Or so I thought. Last night Nathan and I went to drop off a trailer at the store, when we got there I just sat in the car waiting for Nate to unload the trailer. When he got back into the car he just sat there for a min, and I was like what are you doing? Then he was like so Happy Mothers Day, and I was like what is he talking about, I began looking around, and then right in front of me was our new car!! I totally was taken be surprise. I had no idea that he had been talking to a dealer in AZ, this last week, and had this Nissan Armada shipped all the way here to ID!! I was so excited, and can't wait to see if he can top this one next year. (JK)

We also spoke to my younger brother Miles today who is on his mission in CA. It was so nice to hear his voice.

But anyway.....

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!

What A Beautiful Area

2009-04-18T21:44:00.000-07:00

I remember being in high school and thinking to myself, I can't wait to get out of Twin Falls!! Now that I am grown and am still here in Twin Falls I have realized that I have taken this area for granted. I love this area. I love going jogging on the canyon, and just enjoying all of the great scenery here. Today we had so much fun, we down to the Falls and had a picnic with the Olsens. The Falls have the most water running over them right now that I can ever remember. You can not even see the bottom, where the water hits the lake, because there is so much mist! I am so grateful that I live in such a beautiful area.

Easter

2009-04-13T12:11:00.001-07:00

On Friday evening we went to Tyler and Tanille's house to color eggs. Jake just wanted to eat them, but he got a few colored. We all had fun watching Jace, he was so excited to see all the colored eggs!!

Easter was a fun day, we woke up early to find the Easter Bunny had left Jake a basket and an outfit!! He was so excited. Jake just loved the bunny, we took him to the mall to get his pictures, and he just laughed and giggled the whole time. After church we all went to Gooding to spend the day with Grandpa and Grandma Thompson. We had a great dinner, and then had an Easter egg hunt with lottery tickets for the adults, I think we won like six bucks!! After Gooding we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Bean. They had an Easter egg hunt for Jake and Owen, Jake had fun watching Owen find all the eggs. Owen was such a good sharer, he let Jake hold three of his eggs!! It was a fun Easter Sunday!

Yankee vs. Red Sox

2009-04-05T10:18:00.000-07:00

This last Thanksgiving we went to visit Nathan's Grandpa in Lake Havasu. This was the first time Jake had met his Great grandpa!! While we were there Grandpa Tritten gave Jake a gift, a Red Sox ball, which was signed by all the players on the 1955 Red Sox Team. Jake was so excited. Nathan thought that it would be funny to dress Jake in his New York Yankee outfit, which he got while he was in NY for work, and take pictures with his new ball.

This is for Aaron and Sarah!- Nathan

Family Pictures -HELP-

2009-03-17T09:00:00.000-07:00

We went and took some family picures taken on Saturday, and I wanted some opinions. We want to hang a family picture over our fire place and we need help deciding which one we like.

I have also uploaded the pictures from the last post, because the others would not open into the larger picture window.

You should be able to click into these now!!

Jake's Six month pictures

2009-03-12T21:44:00.000-07:00

Jake is six months, well actually six and a half, but we went down to the canyon to take some fun pictures! He enjoyed being outside in the nice weather.

He can not wait to go waterskiing and tubing this summer, to bad it was too cold today!!

This is the first time Jake has been in the grass he loved it, he will really have fun when it is soft and green.

Jake is a future rock climber, what a brave man. It may look like he is high, but really he is not and there is someone very close making sure he does not fall. No worries!!

Jake's First Tooth

2009-03-08T20:18:00.001-07:00

Jake got his first tooth the 15th of February. He loves brushing his teeth, and is biting everything!! Teething is definately hard, but Jake is doing pretty good. He hasn't had a fever or anything, but his sleeping habits have become much worse. We are excited about his teeth, and can't wait for another!

Jakes First Mess

2009-02-24T15:31:00.000-08:00

I walked into the room to find Jake on the couch with a bag of Doritos lying on the ground, spilled everywhere!! This was Jake's first mess ever. He recently has been getting into a lot more things, such as taking all the utensils out of the canister and throwing them all over the floor while I am cooking, He sure does keep me busy!!

A Fun Weekend

2009-02-18T23:18:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago we went to a cabin up in Pine with our friends Tyler, Tanille, & their son Jace. It was Jake's first time sledding, we had so much FUN!! Jake even rolled off of the sled at one time as you can see in the picture. It was so fun to get away for a relaxing weekend. We played like 20 different games while we were there, it was such a great getaway!!

Jake the FLIPPER!!

We went over to Nana's House (Grandma Gayle), where Jake shows off his new trick!!

One day he just got excited and decided to do a flip off the couch, it was a good thing that I was there to catch him. After that he just wanted to do it over and over!

Blowing bubbles
Sucking his toes

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving Nathan, Jake, and I went with Nathan's family to Lake Havasu. It was fun spending Thanksgiving with family, although the car ride was a bit long with Jake. We were able to see the London Bridge, and all of the tourist attractions. It was alot of fun, and we hope we can go back some day to visit!

Salt Lake City

HALLOWEEN

2008-11-04T19:49:00.000-08:00

Halloween was so fun, Jake dressed up like a lion and we went trunk or treat'n. Nathan and Shawn decided to do a haunted trailer for all the kids to go through, it was soooo funny. All the younger kids were so scared to even go into it, they would come out crying or screaming. Nate and Shawn took turns wearing scary masks and scaring the kids. The little pirate is our friend's son Jace, I am totally going to have to borrow that costume in a couple years. But anyway it was a great Halloween!!

Playing in the Leaves

We all went to get pumpkins, Jake had alot of fun finding the perfect one. It was so fun there was a little train that kids were riding on, and hay piles to play on. Jake was to small, but he can't wait untill he can go play as well.

Blessing Day

September first was the day Jake was blessed, he was a little bit grumpy but during the blessing he was very quiet and peaceful. After church that peacfulness was gone, we could not even get a good picture. He just wanted to get those clothes off. I guess this is what builds memories.
