Kael and Jett. Go BSU!

Jett's Baby Blessing

On Sept. 6th along with family and friends standing in a circle, I gave our son a name and a blessing, Jett Ammon Black. Afterwards we held a luncheon back at our home. Thanks everyone for coming and being apart of our special day.

Jett's first photo shoot! 6 weeks old.

A Brothers Love

Kael is a really good big brother. He loves to kiss, hug, and talk to his baby brother. He recently helped by feeding Jett his bottle. We took the picture of Kael and Jett first meeting and blew it up. Kael and Jett both have one in their rooms hanging on their walls.

Bringing Jett home

He is finally here!

He is here! After Karyn literally pushing for three hours, Jett Ammon Black was born around 8:30 pm on 7/8/9 in Meridian Idaho at the St. Lukes hospital. He weighed in at 7 pounds 11 ounces and was 20 inches long. When Kael first saw him he was squealing with excitement. Welcome to the world and our family little guy.

Jett's Nursery is done! Now we just need the baby!

Kael Kindergarten Graduation!

Kael is officially done with Kindergarten! His school held a graduation Wed. morning. It was so cute watching Kael sing and to see his excitement and pride in his accomplishment. I'm sure high school graduation will come quicker than we realize.

Bee-autiful Yellow Flowers

We live across the street from a field that has the prettiest yellow flowers and of course a lot of bees. Kael wanted to go look at bees and I wanted the picture of him in the field with the flowers. We both got what we wanted.

7 months today! The baby bump!

Spring Break California 09

This last week we drove down to California for Spring Break. The Ogas family was nice enough to open their home to us for like the hundreth time, (Thanks George and Sandy!). We went to California to spend time with family and friends, as well as for Karyn's baby shower at the Farren's house, (Thanks Janine and Kevin!). We also delivered Hailey Ogas' new puppy, Princess, and picked up a car seat and stroller from Craig and Gina Skinner, (Thanks guys!). Our last item of business in CA was to help Karyn's little sister move to Idaho to start work and college. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends who are so generous. We could barely squeeze everything into the car to get home. It was an awesome trip and we miss everyone already!

Baby Jett's Crib

Kael is so excited about his baby brother Jett. Whenever I ask him to help me with something for his brother he jumps at the opportunity to help. For our latest project Kael helped me put Jett's crib together. He helped hold the sides as well as tightening the screws. He is already such a great big brother!

Grandma McGrath's 80th B-day Party!

This last week-end we headed down to Utah for my Grandma McGrath's 80th surprise birthday party. My Grandma was very suprised, she shed tears of happiness and cried out " Oh my gosh" on several occasions. It was wonderful to see and spend time with family we don't get see as often as we would like to.

Jett Ammon Black is Coming in July!

Yesterday, along with Karyn’s sister Mariah, who flew in from Ca, we went to the Dr. to find out the sex of our baby. Its official it’s a boy! We are so excited for Jett Ammon Black to come! We showed Kael the ultra sound and told him that he will have a new baby brother shortly after his b-day, what an awesome present! He squealed with excitement. Now to get ready! We quickly went out and bought a crib and changing table. I spent last night putting together the changing table and we will soon be registering at Baby’s are Us and Target.

News Flash!

Kael has recently been accepted into the most prestigious school of wizards, Hogwarts academy! LOL

Just kidding Mom...Kael loves the new church outfit!

The puppies have arrived!

Cookie Marie gave birth to 2 healthy puppies on January 14th. She had a boy and girl. They are both black and white just like their mom and dad. Mom and pups are doing great, other than Cookie being a little cranky.
