5 years ago today!

Five years ago today our lives completely changed! Jeron Clarence Osguthorpe came into this world at 8:52 AM on June 22, 2005. He weighed 4 lbs. 13 oz. and was 18 inches long. He has been such a blessing in our lives.

Here he is at 2 1/2 weeks old... so tiny!

Here he is at almost 2 years old... That is a classic Jeron face!

This was his first time holding his little brother Kyson.... he was so excited!

He's my soccer star! This was last fall.... his Dad was telling him to turn this way but look that way! LOL


Boys will be boys... that's all I can say about this picture!

Happy Birthday Jer Bear! We love you so much and are so happy to have you in our family!

Blessings

Jeron told me today, "Mom, you know, God will bless us and help us listen." I told him he was right and asked him who told him that and he said "No one, just Heavenly Father."

YES! We are doing something right! Jeron, you are very right... God will bless us and help us listen!

Bragging Moment

I have to take a second to brag about my wonderful four year old! I was talking on the phone while cleaning and I mentioned that other than my living room my whole house looked pretty good and if someone came to my door they would think my house was a mess. Well, Jeron must have heard me because a few minutes later I went into the living room and he had cleaned it up! He is such a sweet boy!

Life

So, I know... it has been forever since I last posted on my blog! I'm sorry, but if you remember when I first started my blog I warned all of you that I may not be good at keeping up with it! I have been really lazy and just haven't found time to do it. I would sit down to do it and decide that I didn't want to take the time to add pictures.

We haven't been up to much. Since the last post we had Thanksgiving... we stayed here in Cedar and went to my mom's. It was really nice. There is a family in our ward who just moved here from Chicago and found out that the mom has cancer. She has been going through Chemo and didn't feel up to traveling anywhere for Thanksgiving. We invited them over to join us and it was a lot of fun! I enjoyed having the chance to serve them.

After Thanksgiving we had Kevin's birthday. It was fun. We invited a few friends and my mom over for cake and ice cream. He thinks he's getting old... and he's right!

Next was Kevin's mom (Jean's) wedding... It was so beautiful and we are so happy for her and Mac!

Next was Christmas. We invited my mom over for Christmas Eve. We had dinner, played Bingo, and watched a video about Christ's birth.

Since my mom stayed over Christmas Eve she was here to open presents with us Christmas morning. It was a lot of fun! We had a dinner at her house that evening. It was a great Christmas!

For New Year's Eve we went to Parowan and celebrated at my sister's with food and games! It was a lot of fun!

Since then we have had my mom's birthday and today is my nephew Daxton's (5) and my niece Ariana's (8) birthday. It is a month for birthdays at my house!

On a sad note, my Aunt Tammy passed away on Monday (1/11). She was a wonderful lady and we will miss her a ton! So later this month (maybe this Saturday) I have a memorial service to attend and we also have the baptism of my niece Ashley to go to (Congrats Ashley)! It has been a really busy month for us.

Sorry there are no pictures... i haven't had a chance to upload them onto my computer yet.

October fun

WARNING: THIS IS A LONG POST! MORE LIKE 4 IN 1!

October was a busy month full of fun activities... a pumpkin patch, a birthday, and various Halloween activities.

First, over general conference weekend we went to Richfield and spent time with Kevin's mom and two of his sisters (Jenny and Tammy). We had fun listening to conference, puzzle building, scrapbooking, and going to a pumpkin patch. The pumpkin patch was really fun! They had a free hay ride and train rides. My boys loved the train ride! Here are some pictures of the pumpkin patch:

This is Kevin and Jeron with Jeron's "little" pumpkin!

Not sure he wants his picture taken!

It was nap time! The only time I got a smile out of him was on the train ride!

All of the cousins that were there!

About a week ago Jeron broke the top drawer out of his dresser... his dresser is part of his bed, it's very interesting... so now there is a gaping hole where the drawer was. Later that night I went up to check on the boys and I couldn't find Kyson anywhere! I turned on the hall light so I could see better and this is how I found Kyson...

The most important activity of the month.... MY BABY TURNED 2!! I can't believe how fast time flies! October 30th was Kyson's birthday! We had a fun day with the boys... we went and bought Kyson's present since we procrastinated! After shopping we went and had lunch at McDonald's and let the boys play. Later that evening Jeron had a Halloween party to go to at a friends where he had a lot of fun! After that party we had a small birthday party for Kyson. We just had some family over for cake and ice cream.

Birthday boy!

I can't believe he is two! I love this little boy so much!

He makes us laugh everyday!

This is the cake I made for Kyson... it's not a beach theme... it's under the sea!

The yellow/brown is the ocean floor!

The day after Kyson's birthday was Halloween! My sister invited us (as she does every year) out to her house for pizza and trick-or-treating. Kyson was Elmo and Jeron was a knight. We had a lot of fun! Thanks for inviting us Mindy! Kyson caught on to the concept of trick-or-treating very quickly...

when the people answered the door at the first couple of houses

we went to he tried to walk right in! It was funny!

After he got used to just knocking and getting candy he was all for it!

Once again... Jer didn't want his picture taken!

Well, that was our month of October! I hope yours was just as fun as ours!

WARNING: Lots of Pictures!

It was a very busy weekend for us! It started on Friday with us celebrating my friend Sheena's birthday. We had her and her husband, Sheridan, over for dinner. After dinner my friends, Jessi and Aaron, showed up to stay the night. We had cake with all of them and then played "Settlers of Catan." It was a really fun evening.

The next morning we got up early and went to the Sky Fest. It was really cool. We stood in the middle of all 17 hot air balloons and watched them get blown up and launched. Jeron loved every minute of it!

Later that day we went with some friends (Brent and Megan) up the canyon to take pictures in the fall leaves. It was really nice to get some pictures of our entire family! I appreciate their help with them!

That is a classic Jeron face!

Not posed!! We were all trying to get Kyson to look up

and my friend snapped the picture!

I love it!

Boys will be boys! And my

house if full of them!

Our awesome friends Brent and Megan!

After pictures we went to IHOP for dinner.... then back to our house for games!!

It was a really fun weekend!!

Soccer Pictures

Jeron had soccer pictures on Saturday and because we're too cheap to pay $15 for two 5x7's I sent the camera with Kevin. Here are some of the resulting pictures....

Of course, he had to have his keys! His face in this

picture cracks me up!

This is him smiling big!

Kevin told him to not smile so big...

This was Kevin's attempt a posing him...

turn your head this way... now look at me... lol

Kyson felt left out!
