Tuesday, Feb. 22nd: Joyce L. Donchess passed away

On tuesday, my mom died.
-I love you mom... always have, and always will... dispite everything. I wish I could have seen you or spoken to you before you died; and I am so sorry that you had to die alone. It gives me comfort, however, to know you can be happy and free, now that you are in a better place.
-Love,
Jess

I love it here. It's SO beautiful!

Look! The mountain spells "rip"... it actually spells "trip" if you fly above it, I think.

This is the view from Brandon's job site, north of Ketchum... I took a few shots then used a program to "stich" them together.

Some Pics From February

Sammy helped me make some Valentine's Day Cookie's for his school... even though he was too sick to go to the party:(

Doesn't this just say it all- lol!

4 Wheelin' With Sam.. (well, kinda)

Last week, when the roads were dry, I took Sammy and Jack outside so Sam could ride his 4 wheeler. It's so funny because he still can't steer, so he stands up and moves his 4 wheeler in the direction he wants to go.

Our Little Peanut!

Story Time

This isn't a very flattering picture of me, but oh well... I'm a busy Mommy! My boys sure are good looking though!

Sam's fat lip finally went down, but his front tooth IS turning brown:( That sure is difficult for me to see because I take such good care of his teeth and I love his little smile, but what can you do?! I have a active little boy... it's too bad though:(

Jack is 4 Months Old!

Poor Sammy and His Fat Lip

Yesterday Sam fell and hit his front teeth right into the coffee table. He was SO HURT and it was so hard for me to see. I'm kind of glad I wasn't home when it happened, but I saw the aftermath and that was hard enough. It's amazing how much I hurt when my kids hurt:( 

I took him to the dentist this morning, but it's still kind of unknown as to what exactly is going to happen. His teeth are loose and I am super worried! They could turn brown and/or fall out, but what we are really hoping for is that they just tighten up and stay in his little head for a couple more years! The dentist seems optimistic though, and that gives me hope (thank you Molly:).

He's trying to be brave, but I know he is hurting... poor little guy!

Jack is SO SMILEY!

Sam is Really Growing Up

While I get ready for work, Sam loves to bring his little kitchen into our bedroom and make me eggs. It's so cute! I just can't believe how fast time flies. I swear, it seems like the more kids you have, the faster life gets.

Presents, and Cake, and Ice Cream, and Balloons, Oh Boy!

On Sam's Birthday, I made him this cake and we had a small party at home. He got a Happy Meal, and he ate the WHOLE THING! We got him a little kitchen set and pretend food, because he loves that kind of stuff. I think he had fun, but next year we will throw him a real party

Mmmmmm... Cake!

Sammy Got a 4 Wheeler

GeeGee and Pop gave Sam this awesome Power Wheels 4 Wheeler for his Birthday. He LOVES it and hugs it saying, "I You Bike," (translation: "I love you bike").

Kisses to Mommy:)

Sam is 2 Years Old Today

I can't believe it has been two years since little Sammy was born! Wow! What blessings we have had in our lives... I can't believe he is 2 years old already.

This is Sam's 1st "school picture".. it was taken back in October.

Happy New Year 2011

Merry Christmas!

Little Jack Charles was our biggest gift this year.

Sam had no problem ripping open his presents.

He loves his cars:)
