But I wanted to get it done first because I like to keep it for my journal but also my sis works out of state for right now and it's almost been 5 weeks since we have seen her. I'm sure these pictures will make her home sick but I know she really wants to see the kids. These are just some random pictures so you can see how big the kids are getting. You know how Brady loves stuffed animals and I love this one when he's sleeping. <div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315772815663228274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScVrNjBI5XI/AAAAAAAABAI/rGdEevBIHH0/s320/100_0466.jpg" border="0" />Maddix sound asleep.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315772664605111618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScVrEwSE9UI/AAAAAAAABAA/9AQurb0GWmg/s320/100_0468.JPG" border="0" />Playing cars.<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScVq1V3Zc7I/AAAAAAAAA_4/_9sm8teupM8/s1600-h/SDC10682.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315772399815848882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScVq1V3Zc7I/AAAAAAAAA_4/_9sm8teupM8/s320/SDC10682.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Look at how cute that face is.<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScVqreZOCnI/AAAAAAAAA_w/TAvevPEf9ys/s1600-h/100_0526.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315772230306499186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScVqreZOCnI/AAAAAAAAA_w/TAvevPEf9ys/s320/100_0526.JPG" border="0" /></a> He just looks like trouble but he is such a lover boy.<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScVqg-iFeWI/AAAAAAAAA_o/aqsSLpzc8AM/s1600-h/100_0498.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315772049955060066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScVqg-iFeWI/AAAAAAAAA_o/aqsSLpzc8AM/s320/100_0498.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScVqYOTrGNI/AAAAAAAAA_g/TWu1fv9uuCg/s1600-h/100_0493.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315771899570755794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScVqYOTrGNI/AAAAAAAAA_g/TWu1fv9uuCg/s320/100_0493.jpg" border="0" /></a> Maddix nevers fails to surprise us.

Daddy surprised the kids in the moring with donuts then they each got a little present letting them know how much we love them. Then we decided to take the kids to the zoo. Before we left I went to put on my wedding rings when what the heck I can't find them. After asking Maddix, she told me she took them but she didn't know where they were. After looking in all her things, I lift up the couch cushions and find a shiny thing in the crack of the couch. I swear if someone would have sat down in the spot again then it would have been gone forever. So we go to the zoo where Brady manages to lose his Sunday shoe to the tigers. Little stinker put his feet in and when I went to pull it out it came off. The tiger was right below us and he watched it drop all the way down. Then that night we met up with our good friends Travis and Jaymie for a pizza dinner with the kids and that just turned into a huge poopy deal thanks to Brady's diaper. It was a full day but we had so much fun. And then Jason surprised me and took me out of town the next weekend with out the kids for our Valentine's. We had a blast.<br /><div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315154102436773618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScM4fso0PvI/AAAAAAAAA7A/sQBCiP50clU/s320/SDC10670.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315153925258270162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScM4VYmK1dI/AAAAAAAAA64/3icOdHhM8YU/s320/SDC10674.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScM4OYb8J0I/AAAAAAAAA6w/TqSOlsBHJ-c/s1600-h/SDC10677.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315153804956280642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScM4OYb8J0I/AAAAAAAAA6w/TqSOlsBHJ-c/s320/SDC10677.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScM4GObZdKI/AAAAAAAAA6o/ddlyvRmKAbk/s1600-h/SDC10678.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315153664830698658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScM4GObZdKI/AAAAAAAAA6o/ddlyvRmKAbk/s320/SDC10678.JPG" border="0" /></a>Jason celebrated his 28th birthday. His parents took our family out to PF Chang's which is one of Jason's favorite places. And then on his b-day I got to spend the whole day with him just hanging out while our parents took care of the kids. It was so nice. For dinner we went to Bennehanas which we love and we had so much fun. We spent a little over 2 hours there and we didn't mind a bit. It was so nice to sit and enjoy eating your food and not have to worry about the kids.<br /><div><div><div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315152293459077058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScM22Zq7J8I/AAAAAAAAA6g/nSjREvfGgqU/s320/SDC10667.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315151864784794690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/ScM2dcvAtEI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/AYI8Wvs7XRo/s320/100_0388.jpg" border="0" /> Maddix had a talent show at school and she wanted to sing a song.

And it finally happened. Tickets went on sale and I was there waiting in line for 2 1/2 hours to make sure we got our tickets. So on Dec. 10th we finally got to go to the sold out show. It was my first time and Jason's 3rd time seeing them and all I can say is that the concert was one of the best I have ever been to!<br /><div></div>Jason and Katie Ernsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200837834010770749noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670829092760166385.post-65963276427564391562008-12-04T22:53:00.000-08:002008-12-04T23:16:27.150-08:00Black Friday!<div>The last 3 years we havn't been able to go to the mountains for Thanksgiving so my Mom and I have made it a tradition to get out of bed and go shopping on Black Friday. We have never had to really get anything, we just like to go for fun. But this year was way different. My 2 sisters in law decided to join us for a crazy morning because this year I was on mission to get everything I wanted and they had to get what they wanted. We started off our day by getting up at 3 am then off to Kohl's we went. I didn't really have to get anything there just wanted to go for fun. So one of my sisters and I took off to Walmart so we could get there by 5. Jason met me there and as soon as Walmart said it was 5 am we went to town getting everything on our list. Then we took off to Target because they opened at 6 am. We waited in line and as soon as they opened the door we were off. I had a camera, dvd players for the truck, 2 movies, and 2 memory cards before Jason even got to the back of the strore. I was a maniac and so were the rest of my sisters. They got all the toys they needed and helped me score all my toys for the kids. After Target we ate breakfast then went to the mall and Toys R Us. We had so much fun and I was so exhausted by the end of the day I came home and slept until 8:30 pm. Thanks girls for such a fun day. Can't wait to do it all again next year.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276200996358174354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/STjU2gd9tpI/AAAAAAAAAq0/YiPAMO2sCWI/s320/SDC10343.JPG" border="0" /></div><br />My sister in law who is 8 months pregnant and me at 4 in morning!Jason and Katie Ernsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200837834010770749noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670829092760166385.post-36265859077895316742008-12-04T22:48:00.000-08:002008-12-06T14:30:08.841-08:00Dance Class!<div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/STjP3UAUL9I/AAAAAAAAAqs/vtKjtQ9BD-I/s1600-h/SDC10349.JPG"></a>Maddix had her very first dance recital for Christmas. This was just a little one to show the parents what they have been working on and to also help prepare the girls for the big one in April. Daddy, Brady, and Grandma were lucky enough to come and watch her. She did so great and we are so proud of her. After wards we had a little party for the girls and parents. Then we took her out to lunch and of course all she wanted was Neds Crazy Sub. She loves that place.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276194965766973906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/STjPXew-qdI/AAAAAAAAAqc/mT0hmBm5jRI/s320/SDC10354.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/STjPjwUe-TI/AAAAAAAAAqk/eohmsIHH9dU/s1600-h/SDC10349.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276195176637724978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/STjPjwUe-TI/AAAAAAAAAqk/eohmsIHH9dU/s320/SDC10349.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/STjPQUEhWFI/AAAAAAAAAqU/V4oZaB6jKS8/s1600-h/SDC10355.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276194842637064274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/STjPQUEhWFI/AAAAAAAAAqU/V4oZaB6jKS8/s320/SDC10355.JPG" border="0" /></a> We could not get her to put down her cookie for the pictures.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276203298930162370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/STjW8iN5-sI/AAAAAAAAAq8/PI6ieT6lbyU/s320/SDC10358.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/STjPBiuw-bI/AAAAAAAAAqE/0QmgbT9a8G0/s1600-h/SDC10359.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276194588874308018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/STjPBiuw-bI/AAAAAAAAAqE/0QmgbT9a8G0/s320/SDC10359.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/STjO6tHc3dI/AAAAAAAAAp8/hrug0fo_53U/s1600-h/SDC10356.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276194471403118034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/STjO6tHc3dI/AAAAAAAAAp8/hrug0fo_53U/s320/SDC10356.JPG" border="0" /></a>She was pretty happy afterwards and we could not get her to sit still for a picture.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276194728196565634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/STjPJpvx6oI/AAAAAAAAAqM/2FEFxpnQz5Q/s320/SDC10360.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Jason and Katie Ernsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200837834010770749noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670829092760166385.post-16897968565188846732008-12-04T21:47:00.001-08:002008-12-04T22:48:05.303-08:00Some of the fun we have been up to in November!Hope everybody had a happy Thanksgiving because I know we sure did! We had such a great day. I love my family and I'm very grateful for everyone and everything we have in our lives. We are very blessed!<br /><br /> I love this picture so much. I love my kids with all my heart. Maddix and Brady keep us laughing nonstop. They are very happy kids. It's crazy to look at this picture Brady looks like a little boy and not a baby anymore .

We went to a farm where the kids got to feed a goat, rabbit, hold chickens, pet a turkey, go on a hay ride, and ride a horse. They were also letting you milk a goat and drink the milk but as good as that sounded we passed on the idea.

My brother-in-law Justin is living over there right now working a new job and he is away from his family so Jason was going to go visit him so I said, "wouldn't it be better if we make it a couple's weekend and bring his wife and me along too?" So that's what we did but Justin had no idea, that's what we were really going to do so we surprised him pretty good. Halloween was on Friday night and we went to bed at 1:30 a.m. and then left for Cali at 3 a.m., that was not too fun. I was so tired but couldn't let Jason stay awake all by himself and drive so Theresa and I both stayed awake and kept him company. When we got to Justin's apartment we had Jason drop us off a block early so we could just walk in later and surprise him. Well surprise to us because it started to rain! Then we thought we could get in the back gate and it was locked. So then we had to walk to the front gate and that was locked so Theresa had to hop the fence and unlock it. So by the time we got to the apartment to surprise him we were soaking wet. But it was worth it because we had so much fun!<br /><div>We went to Santa Monica and walked around and shopped.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269497523943132466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SSEEFDtuTTI/AAAAAAAAAm8/EzTMdmsAbaM/s320/SDC10207.JPG" border="0" />We were on the ferris wheel on the pier.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269497342974434130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SSED6hjbG1I/AAAAAAAAAm0/J7Dv1sHvCyA/s320/SDC10204.JPG" border="0" />Justin and Theresa on the ferris wheel!<br /><div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SSEDnD3T22I/AAAAAAAAAmk/79ALCOwEOjs/s1600-h/SDC10200.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269497008587266914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SSEDnD3T22I/AAAAAAAAAmk/79ALCOwEOjs/s320/SDC10200.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SSEDeEBstwI/AAAAAAAAAmc/vOGSHt5eo5k/s1600-h/SDC10199.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269496854012016386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SSEDeEBstwI/AAAAAAAAAmc/vOGSHt5eo5k/s320/SDC10199.JPG" border="0" /></a> Just a random dinosaur fountain.<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SSEDTQFZUfI/AAAAAAAAAmU/NZ3jPZgw5MY/s1600-h/SDC10209.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269496668270186994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SSEDTQFZUfI/AAAAAAAAAmU/NZ3jPZgw5MY/s320/SDC10209.JPG" border="0" /></a> We all went to Benihanas for dinner and it was excellent!<br /><div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SSEC-8ej6HI/AAAAAAAAAmE/TwIrrMFMCWY/s1600-h/SDC10210.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269496319409645682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SSEC-8ej6HI/AAAAAAAAAmE/TwIrrMFMCWY/s320/SDC10210.JPG" border="0" /></a> After dinner we went to Hollywood Blvd. and saw a bunch of weird people.

First off we moved! We are now renting Jason's grandma's patio home until we can decide where we want to buy a home. We love, love it here! It is so big and it has so much storage space in the house and in the garage, we can't even fill it all up. That's a nice feeling we have never had before. October was filled with fun events all month long. Here is just some of the things we were up to in October.<br /><br /><div>Maddix made this very cute pumkin all by herself at school. She is doing so great at school. She writes her name so good and she loves to cut things out and she does such a great job. I love picking her up from school. Everytime I pick her up and ask what she did in school all she tells me is that we played and played and played and that's all we did. It's so cute but I have to be tricky to find out what else they really did. I found out she knows the whole pledge of allegence and I was so proud of her when she put her hand over her heart and told me.<br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267256091297071554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SRkNggbGQcI/AAAAAAAAAik/G0lrfbnZFpY/s320/SDC10115.JPG" border="0" /> </div><div>For family home evening one night we decorated suger cookies!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267537936113538210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SRoN2CLxFKI/AAAAAAAAAlc/7z5WlOlYCUA/s320/SDC10126.JPG" border="0" />I love this picture of Brady!

This was on Halloween. We first went to trunk or treat and that was fun but then we went to my in-laws neighborhood and took the kids trick or treating with Ryland and they had so much fun they never wanted to stop. The kids were so ecxited and caught on to the idea very quick. They would take off running to the houses and if somebody would let them pick their candy, they weren't shy about how many to take either. Thankfully nobody cared and they were just dumping loads of candy into their bags. Maddix's bag got so heavy she couldn't even hold it anymore. My favorite part of the night was when we were walking and I said I love halloween and Maddix looks up at me and yells, "me too!" then takes off running to the door to get more candy. She cracks me up.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SRkPm2sAz4I/AAAAAAAAAkE/oErYUCaJrc8/s1600-h/SDC10179.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267258399376068482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SRkPm2sAz4I/AAAAAAAAAkE/oErYUCaJrc8/s320/SDC10179.JPG" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267258184214508562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SRkPaVJf9BI/AAAAAAAAAj8/jdQCz0_abgo/s320/SDC10180.JPG" border="0" />My little ballerina and lion!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267257974873245698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SRkPOJSpyAI/AAAAAAAAAj0/R5umfXt0W3I/s320/SDC10181.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267257788122507554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SRkPDRlzqSI/AAAAAAAAAjs/ohpq23nhI5M/s320/SDC10184.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267257574384908930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SRkO21WyuoI/AAAAAAAAAjk/mk-MK1I4Dg8/s320/SDC10192.JPG" border="0" />Hope everybody had a happy Halloween! </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Jason and Katie Ernsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200837834010770749noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670829092760166385.post-9238733835949049102008-10-27T10:34:00.000-07:002008-10-27T10:43:16.440-07:00FOR RENTHey everybody we are looking for renters to move in as soon as possible.

We had such a blast. We spent the days on the beach or swimming at the pools. The swim up bar had the best tacos and pina coladas ever (ours were virgin of course). We bought some great stuff from the venders. Every night we went to this bar/restaurant called Changos and had a blast. They had this Mexican guy singing American songs who was actually pretty good. On the way to Mexico we were saying how Garth Brooks has the best Karoake songs. So when we get to the bar on the wall they had a sign that said "I have friends in low places" So of course us girls had to take a picture of it. Then the last song the band sang was "I've got friends in low places" and the whole place was singing it so loud. We had such a blast and we can't wait to do it next year. One of the funniest things that happenend was when we were all on the banana boat and my sister was so scared to ride it and the boys were jumping on it so it was bouncing so much. Lindsay was in the middle of telling Erin don't worry it won't flip when all of a sudden she goes flying off with Jason and Rusty's foot was caught and he was getting dragged along the side of it. The poor boys lost their new sun glasses but thankfully they had there cheap ones on. And Lindsay just hurt so bad she didn't even want to ride it again. </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256387498888234850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SPJwlKkJh2I/AAAAAAAAAic/-riwO0Inu1o/s320/P1010638.JPG" border="0" /></div><div>Where in the world is Erin?</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256387298493208178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SPJwZgCQFnI/AAAAAAAAAiU/sGiD18ulTMk/s320/P1010636.JPG" border="0" /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256387189077139362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SPJwTIbbX6I/AAAAAAAAAiM/vel7OksyYd8/s320/P1010637.JPG" border="0" /></div><div>It was so humid outside.

Crazy I can't believe I'm that old. It was a great day but I should say it's been and is still going to be a great week. Jason always teases me because he always says my birthday is a celebration that lasts a week and it's very true even though I don't mean it to be. Sunday we celebrated my birthday with all my family. Tuesday night my in-laws took us out to eat for my birthday and gave me a gift card to go shopping with. And today is my actual b-day and I woke up to a dozen red roses on my night stand thanks to my handsome husband. I told Jason the only present I wanted was to go shopping for my birthday which I got that but he also surprised me with new sun glasses that I love so much. Then my best friend Jaymie took me out for lunch at Crackers, then my parents and sister took me out to eat at Olive Garden for dinner since Jason had school till 10:30. That was a bummer but he is taking me out on a date Friday night. Then on Saturday I get to be spoiled. I'm so excited I get to have a facial, massage, my hair cut and colored and then a pedicure and a manicure. I'm so excited for this I can't even wait. So far turning 26 has been really good to me.Jason and Katie Ernsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200837834010770749noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670829092760166385.post-55699742550001445622008-09-10T23:19:00.000-07:002008-09-10T23:31:57.296-07:00First day of dance class!So we have now entered into the world of dance. Maddix has been asking me for the last couple of weeks if today is the day she goes to dance. Well this moring she knew she was going and she woke up and ran around the house yelling, "I get to go to dance today, hurray." She had her first class ever and she loved it. I was so proud of her.

I have to give a big thanks to Mrs. Carolyn, she is the best teacher. Thanks to her, my kids have no fear of water and are really great swimmers. Maddix can jump off the diving board and swim the whole length of the pool and even take her breaths. At night she does laps with me and my mom when we go swimming, it's pretty fun. She can also do her butterfly, corkscrew, and her back stroke. She is an awesome little swimmer. And Brady did so well. He is such my little dare devil. He loves kicking his legs and will just walk off the edge anywhere and swim to us. He loves, and I mean LOVES jumping off the diving board. He will just keep going back and back until we get tired and have to drag him away from it. It was such a great summer and we can't wait until next season.<br /><div> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244640224317093394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SMi0fyklNhI/AAAAAAAAAgU/-w2ojgL-vig/s320/P1010614.JPG" border="0" />Look how good he is at grabbing the wall by himself.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244640078601389122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SMi0XTvQBEI/AAAAAAAAAgM/oKnFIyUwR6o/s320/P1010616.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SMi0Eg5FGjI/AAAAAAAAAgE/OXdJFiKKnE4/s1600-h/P1010612.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244639755714763314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SMi0Eg5FGjI/AAAAAAAAAgE/OXdJFiKKnE4/s320/P1010612.JPG" border="0" /></a> Maddix is doing her canonball!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244639474021682002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SMiz0HgNy1I/AAAAAAAAAf8/nPwZRLZqXUo/s320/P1010608.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244639274350235618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SMizofq1T-I/AAAAAAAAAf0/Z8axtwbJuDU/s320/P1010599.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div>Jason and Katie Ernsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200837834010770749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670829092760166385.post-24405445018054710252008-09-10T22:03:00.000-07:002008-09-10T22:53:14.341-07:00Maddix's first day of Pre SchoolLook at my little girl I can't believe she started Pre School. She has been looking forward to school all summer long so when the day came she was just so excited. We pulled up to her school and she looked at Brady and told him "This is my school, you don't get to come." And then she made sure to tell me and my mom, "You guys are dropping me off all by myself and your not staying, just I'm staying." I took her inside and she went straight to hang her back pack up and get out her show and tell item. I told her that I loved her and she gave me a kiss and then I was out the door and she didn't even notice that I was leaving. Even though I'm sad that she doesn't need me in ways like she use to, I'm even more proud of her for being such a strong little girl who is not afraid of what she wants. I love her so much and she is doing so great at school and she loves it every time she goes.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244625413582457522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SMinBsSRirI/AAAAAAAAAfs/fTXfScEJO7Q/s320/P1010596.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244625258895318498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SMim4sB_HeI/AAAAAAAAAfk/LN922AVEMEg/s320/P1010595.JPG" border="0" />She did not let me pick out her outfit, she had to pick out what she wore on the first day and just look at that huge smile on her face.

So my parents went up early and got us the most beautiful spot right next to this huge creek. It was so perfect we had tons of forest around us with this beautiful creek behind us and right in front of my parents they put in 120 pounds of fish. We were all excited it was going to be such a fun weekend. So most of our family came up Friday and and it was such a great day the weather was perfect Jason and the kids went fishing and we had so much fun. Saturday morning the day started out perfect Jason and the kids went fishing again with my brother Mike and they cought 4 fish in like 1 hour so they were happy. Well Jason and Mike decided to go paintballing with a bunch of friends and about an hour after they left the rain started. So the kids and I went running to the tent just to find that our tent was leaking so bad that everything inside was getting wet. My wonderful brother Damon and my Dad helped me get tarps put over my tent but there wasn't enough to cover the whole thing. So I spent 2 and a half hours wiping up puddles and keeping 2 kids entertained in the tent. Maddix was pretty funny and she was mostly keeping us entertained. Her and Brady were in his porta crib that we had in the tent and all of a sudden she was standing in the corner of it and yells out I am Nacho and then tackles Brady! I was cracking up laughing because the weekend before we were watching Nacho Libre in Payson. Well Jason finally got back to camp and the rain just came down even harder so being stuck in the tent for 7 and half hours with a 3 year old and a 14 month old we decided to pack up camp in the pooring rain and so did everybody else because the rain just wasn't going to stop. We headed on over to our Cabin in Vernon for a nice warm and cozy place to stay. We finished the weekend off by riding quads, shooting guns, playing with the kids outside and having a Thanksgiving feast that my wonderful Uncle Mike and Aunt Chris made and it was so good. We had a blast hanging out as a family but I think from now on we will move the camp out to Memorial weekend when it's not the rainy season.</div><div><div> </div><div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244617890732225186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SMigLzfAsqI/AAAAAAAAAfU/8XdAEOweEGM/s320/P1010531.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244617751990619442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SMigDuobzTI/AAAAAAAAAfM/Z8bw21z2JfI/s320/P1010532.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div><div>The kids are making a chocolate mud pie.

It was so nice to get away and just play with the kids. One day we took Jason's grandparents out to lunch. They are so sweet and we love seeing them.

We went to the Show Low parade which Maddix loved cause she got a bunch of candy and Brady also didn't mind since he got to benefit off of Maddix supply of suckers. We watched the fireworks which was fun to do with the kids since Maddix was so into it. Brady was just so tired he kept trying to fall asleep anywhere he could. We spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with family and going on quad rides which Maddix can't get enough of with her Dad. My parents took Maddix to the Springerville rodeo which she also loved because there were a lot of cowboys and horses there. She is so into Cowboys and Indians right now because she watches Westerns with my mom. <div>Needless to say, we just had a blast hanging out all day and all night with our family.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SJ5wMwQjOmI/AAAAAAAAAb0/RgmHkzfD25Q/s1600-h/P1030401.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232743181466155618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SJ5wMwQjOmI/AAAAAAAAAb0/RgmHkzfD25Q/s320/P1030401.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SJ5wDw13hmI/AAAAAAAAAbs/uq5kJJJGXrs/s1600-h/P1030400.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232743027003852386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SJ5wDw13hmI/AAAAAAAAAbs/uq5kJJJGXrs/s320/P1030400.JPG" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232742790696480866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SJ5v2AhzMGI/AAAAAAAAAbk/nrI7PGYKP2E/s320/P1030446.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232742533563927762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SJ5vnConzNI/AAAAAAAAAbc/Q1iXRnkrB2o/s320/P1030436.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232743468767950610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SJ5wdeiotxI/AAAAAAAAAb8/4zaMTRj_6_0/s320/P1030443.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232742358778865730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SJ5vc3gnaEI/AAAAAAAAAbU/NVP_tGDdn04/s320/P1030423.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232742139688263538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SJ5vQHVWH3I/AAAAAAAAAbM/C7aAJ0NHQGI/s320/P1030433.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232741923264313954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SJ5vDhF2umI/AAAAAAAAAbE/tx7plT2323s/s320/P1030459.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232741697616996802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SJ5u2YfV6cI/AAAAAAAAAa8/dQBxNSxhF3g/s320/P1030456.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232741519510950530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SJ5usA_jUoI/AAAAAAAAAa0/B_8tf_RQrUU/s320/P1030469.JPG" border="0" /></div></div>Jason and Katie Ernsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200837834010770749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670829092760166385.post-13833413071148003022008-07-01T23:44:00.000-07:002008-07-02T00:32:31.877-07:00Viva Las Vegas!This past weekend my Mom, Sister, and I went to Las Vegas for a girls' weekend. What a fun filled weekend we had. We went up for the Las Vegas beauty convention that they have every year. Our plane left at 7 a.m and my sis and I only got 3 hours of sleep. We were so loud on the plane, I swear everybody probably thought we were drunk because we were laughing so much but we were just high off of caffeine to try to keep us awake. We got to do a lot of great things. We went to a lot of great classes, went shopping, got dressed up to go to dinner, and mostly we just got to live it up in Vegas. And if anyone knows my mom, my sister, and me together, you know we will probaly have more fun than what we should. We had a blast and we can't wait to do it all over again next year.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218307999609282402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsnelVKX2I/AAAAAAAAAac/B7GbOwWjfyc/s320/P1030338.JPG" border="0" /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsnNBf_6tI/AAAAAAAAAaU/NkG9j1uVmN8/s1600-h/P1030347.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218307697933282002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsnNBf_6tI/AAAAAAAAAaU/NkG9j1uVmN8/s320/P1030347.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is in the airport because we kept teasing the guys that we were going to the show!<br /><div><div><div><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsnDglewPI/AAAAAAAAAaM/n2RXpV67q68/s1600-h/P1030350.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218307534479081714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsnDglewPI/AAAAAAAAAaM/n2RXpV67q68/s320/P1030350.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsmpnGLTLI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/PwBnkn1M_H8/s1600-h/P1030366.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218313039379351186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGssD77-xpI/AAAAAAAAAak/Qt0i3MifjEA/s320/P1030354.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218307089550232754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsmpnGLTLI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/PwBnkn1M_H8/s320/P1030366.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsmJmCH0gI/AAAAAAAAAZk/ZV5zVSc5POs/s1600-h/P1030376.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218306539508978178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsmJmCH0gI/AAAAAAAAAZk/ZV5zVSc5POs/s320/P1030376.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsmAiQTRnI/AAAAAAAAAZc/XItkFqnpaEw/s1600-h/P1030382.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218306383875884658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsmAiQTRnI/AAAAAAAAAZc/XItkFqnpaEw/s320/P1030382.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsl11qBqgI/AAAAAAAAAZU/3s5ZO7Dopkc/s1600-h/P1030389.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218306200105495042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsl11qBqgI/AAAAAAAAAZU/3s5ZO7Dopkc/s320/P1030389.JPG" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218306053388643970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsltTGALoI/AAAAAAAAAZM/WYflPKYaL2g/s320/P1030393.JPG" border="0" /> This was a picture we took of the Las Vegas strip as we were stting on the plane waiting to come back to AZ. This was also the scariest flight I have ever been on. I guess it's not a good sign when your on the runway and the plane goes black inside and they have to jump start the plane. And then they tell us this like it was supposed to make us feel better. Then I swear it was the pilot's first time flying. I have never been in a plane where it would make so many sharp turns to the right then to the left then go up and down. I was freaking out. I finally felt safe when the plane landed, oh wait the alarm goes off in the plane and we are stuck on it for like 20 minutes with a loud ringing in our ears. It was a horrilble flight and I don't know when I will be flying again.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Jason and Katie Ernsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200837834010770749noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670829092760166385.post-79819064524118525152008-07-01T22:38:00.000-07:002008-07-01T23:44:10.972-07:00Random News<div><div>So here's just a couple of things that have happened in my life lately.</div><br /><br /><div>1. I'm so happy to say that Jason passed his board exam. He is now a licensed Occupational Therapist. Yea, I'm so excited! It's been really weird because he doesn't have to study anymore and it hasn't been like that for awhile. But I better live it up while I can because those of you who don't know, Jason is planning on going to medical school so I better take advantage now of all his free time.</div><br /><div>2. There's going to be another little baby coming soon to our family. And no way am I saying that it's going to be me having it. But I am proud to say that my older brother and his wife are expecting there first baby together. My brother already has 2 children from his first marriage so now it's time to add a 3rd to the group. We are all so excited but I think my other sister-in-law and I are more happy than the rest because we don't have to be the ones to give birth to it and we can just enjoy watching her. Love you Allison and Damon, you will be great!</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218303389446036434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsjSPIl29I/AAAAAAAAAZE/4B2nNXDRxAs/s320/P1030330.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218303226512734450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsjIwKQ-PI/AAAAAAAAAY8/45QJLBZoyrA/s320/P1030331.JPG" border="0" /> <div>3. This is just kind of funny to me and maybe not Jason so much. I have never been a reader. I've just never been able to sit still long enough to take time to read a long book. Well that changed maybe because I like my quiet time to myself more now rather than before due to the fact that I have 2 children and that I never get any alone time. So a couple of my sisters-in-law, my sister, and mom all talk books on Sundays and they were talking about Twilight and about the movie a couple of Sunday's ago. So I decided I should give it a chance because I want to see the movie with all of them when it comes out in December and I don't want to be left in dark on what's going to happen when they all know. Needless to say, I read the whole book in 3 days and I've started on the 2nd. I sound like a total dork but I have to know what happens to Bella and Edward. So Jason was annoyed because he spent all day studying so we could have the night together and that's the night i decided to start reading my first book and I couldn't put it down. If your like me and have never read a book, I would suggest reading this set.</div></div>Jason and Katie Ernsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200837834010770749noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670829092760166385.post-81237986568404540802008-07-01T21:25:00.000-07:002008-07-01T22:32:28.602-07:00Happy 1 Birthday Brady!<div><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsN6O535AI/AAAAAAAAAYs/unBp6vP1pto/s1600-h/P1030285.JPG"></a>Brady was flying high on his birthday, due to Uncle Damon, pizza, his own birthday cake, and his presents.

Wow where did that year go too? I honestly can't believe that he is one and that just a year ago I gave birth to him. You decided to come into this world with a bang so after being in labor for 12 hours and pushing for 4 you just wouldn't budge and so we had to get a c -section to get your little butt out. But ever since that day you have never slowed down. Brady, you are such great addition to our family. You make us laugh so much. And you are seriusly the strongest baby I have ever met. You started crawling at 4 and a 1/2 months, standing up around 5 months, crawling up the stairs by 6 months, and walking full on by 10 months. You sure are a busy body and you have kept us on our toes. You will climb anything in sight and that includes climbing on top of the table, the kitchen island, and anything else that might look interesting to you. You are a dare devil and that scares me but I'm learning to get use to it. You love to play with Maddix and want to do anything she is doing. We love you so much buddy and we can't wait to watch you grow. It's exciting everyday to watch your sweet smiling little perfect face light up when you get excited about something or when you figure something out. You are one of the biggest blessings in our lives and we love you with all our heart. </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218272054571597666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsGyToWf2I/AAAAAAAAAWc/RCgCepNY5aY/s320/18040320.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218271820751238114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsGkslO8-I/AAAAAAAAAWU/ptBFtCL29nU/s320/21032737.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218272234197235266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsG8wycNkI/AAAAAAAAAWk/l_fmYunrYII/s320/00000062.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218272395423705362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsHGJZ06RI/AAAAAAAAAWs/tPBy-RGIf1Q/s320/24230257.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218276616976584738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsK736d0CI/AAAAAAAAAXE/sOtgP5hrN5E/s320/P1030260.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Jason and Katie Ernsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200837834010770749noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670829092760166385.post-63967404795742091812008-06-19T00:19:00.000-07:002008-07-01T21:24:14.701-07:00Fathers day!<div><div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SGsAv5zGtUI/AAAAAAAAAV0/NnvePw1b1gw/s1600-h/31053729.JPG"></a><div><div>Father's Day was such a great day. We took Jason and my Dad out for breakfast. Then at breakfast we surprised Jason with a new mountain bike. He has been wanting one for a while and that's all I heard about for weeks. So being the great wife that I am I had to surprise him with one. He was so excited about it and I must say he gets a lot of use out of it. After breakfast we came home and had a huge B-B-Q with all my family and we went swimming. By the end of the night we were exhausted. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213489709827269682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SFoJRNJopDI/AAAAAAAAAVc/ikqUDzG3NQM/s320/P1030254.JPG" border="0" />This is the picture I gave to Jason at breakfast.

We thought it would be bigger but the kids didn't know any different so they had a blast. And what is a better way to end the day then by having Dairy Queen? Thanks for the fun play date, we will have to do it again soon.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213486662428375426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SFoGf0tHuYI/AAAAAAAAAU8/7-1UvAb29dQ/s320/P1030222.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SFoGTHIrvpI/AAAAAAAAAU0/Q4WMQiIsjuk/s1600-h/P1030226.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213486444037521042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SFoGTHIrvpI/AAAAAAAAAU0/Q4WMQiIsjuk/s320/P1030226.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SFoGIMP8iFI/AAAAAAAAAUs/rS6fZIXv4CU/s1600-h/P1030228.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213486256431597650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SFoGIMP8iFI/AAAAAAAAAUs/rS6fZIXv4CU/s320/P1030228.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SFoF87vZ7DI/AAAAAAAAAUk/DF9LQAd8TWg/s1600-h/P1030231.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213486063021583410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SFoF87vZ7DI/AAAAAAAAAUk/DF9LQAd8TWg/s320/P1030231.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SFoFxz1kj_I/AAAAAAAAAUc/fQN4nAQYAcM/s1600-h/P1030234.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213485871921401842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SFoFxz1kj_I/AAAAAAAAAUc/fQN4nAQYAcM/s320/P1030234.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div></div></div></div>Jason and Katie Ernsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200837834010770749noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670829092760166385.post-54251067458928528052008-06-18T22:24:00.000-07:002008-06-18T23:18:57.055-07:00The drive in moviesSo Jason and I wanted to go to a movie since it's very rare that we get to go, so we decided on the drive ins. I was so excited since it was Jason's first drive in. We were just hoping the kids would fall asleep since thay didn't get naps but of course that didn't happen. So we spent on hour trying to entertain a 3 and 1 year old. After the horn honking, the kids yelling, and a bag of popcorn dropping in between the seats of our truck, we had to leave. But wouldn't you know as soon as we got on the road the kids fell asleep. We will just have to try it again later when the kids are older. But we did have a lot of fun before the movie started.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213467476472680770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SFn1DDc00UI/AAAAAAAAAUM/hdqIf54eqMM/s320/P1030195.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213467716067978498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SFn1RAAy7QI/AAAAAAAAAUU/cDJgf65mpU4/s320/P1030208.JPG" border="0" />Jason and Katie Ernsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04200837834010770749noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670829092760166385.post-40218593702147073862008-05-27T23:03:00.000-07:002008-05-27T23:43:53.763-07:00Memorial DayThis past weekend for Memorial Day, my Mom and I took the kids to our house in the mountains. We thought there would be beautiful weather and that we would be able sit with the kids on the yard and let them play and have picnics. But we were sure wrong. We left Thursday morning and by the time we got to our house it was a winter wonderland. It must have snowed at least 5 inches by sun down. And then all night it kept snowing and all the next day it was so foggy you couldn't even see the mountains. All you could see was pure white everywhere you looked. These pictures don't do it justice because I forgot my camera and Jason had to bring it when he came up Friday, so these pictures aren't even close to what it was like but you can get a good idea. But who has ever heard of it snowing this late in May? But we still ended up having a great weekend. We went to all the boutiques and ate some great food. Jason came up Friday then on Saturday we went back down to Payson to finish the weekend off there with the Ernsts'. We had a lot of fun just relaxing and going out to dinner. And then on Monday we came home and had a huge BBQ and swim party with my family. The weekend was a lot of fun and it was just really great to get away.<br /><div> </div><div>The family in Vernon!</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205308801334627346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SDz4xqHDzBI/AAAAAAAAAUE/EQ_JVgqna90/s320/23235027.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205308672485608450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SDz4qKHDzAI/AAAAAAAAAT8/Tn0uOMdTc5g/s320/24021623.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SDz4iKHDy_I/AAAAAAAAAT0/6UADzmOzhhc/s1600-h/24020929.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205308535046654962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SDz4iKHDy_I/AAAAAAAAAT0/6UADzmOzhhc/s320/24020929.JPG" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205308333183192034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SDz4WaHDy-I/AAAAAAAAATs/-01ZTDTx4ko/s320/23210543.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205308118434827218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SDz4J6HDy9I/AAAAAAAAATk/HhVTX_wmvzA/s320/23234700.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205307933751233474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SDz3_KHDy8I/AAAAAAAAATc/-lPCgJtKbgA/s320/23234856.JPG" border="0" />Brady asleep at Pizza Hut in Payson!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205307753362607026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZutVzG4B-bs/SDz30qHDy7I/AAAAAAAAATU/Fpnu_k0RH6k/s320/25004335.JPG" border="0" /></div><div>The kids climbing all over the beds in Payson.
