The move

We are now in the Madison/Jackson area. The move was fine and we made it here great! The boys and I enjoy the new area. All the things we love to do are so close to us. As to where we use to drive 30 min to an hour just to do anything fun. Even walmart but now Walmart, Target etc is 10 min away. The boys have adjusted well. We are in an apartment right now and that is different but its big enough for now. I am counting down my days to buy a house.
Zeke loves his job! He seems more happy and I'm sure that one of the many reasons is that he is out of school. We have been very blessed with the job and the area that we live in. The ward is going ok. We have been a few times and I'm sure we will grow to love lots of the ppl here. Maybe in 2 weeks I can post pictures for now I am having to use a business computer.

Independence Day

Zeke left for WA June 25. I went nut's around June 30. We went to my moms that weekend. We decided to stay there for a few days and hang out with Matt,Jennifer, Caroline and Lucas. We grilled out, played outside in 97 degree temp. UGH it was HOT! We also went to sleep early so we didn't watch the fireworks in Tupelo. Being overwhelmed makes me tired. That same night I found out about Zeke. It's hard being away from your spouse for a month but I knew we could do it or at least try. He was sent home 12 days early because once again he had health problems out in WA and could not finish his training. He is now home and doing well (returned home July 11th). He will be discharged from the Army National Guard. His health is to big of a risk. At least he finished school. We are now trying to decide what he should do. We are blessed to have a couple of choices.
It was so hot, just look at Ethan's face.

Westcott kiddos and the Griffin kiddos

Sweet Caroline!

Ethan turned 4!!

Ethan turned 4 May 18th. Aw, just 4 years ago I was in labor for 18 hours. Holding him with so much love. He was gorgous, soft and so pretty not cute but pretty. Now I hold him and think "man, i need a break from this kid. ;) Not all the time but most of it. He is me made over. At first i would not brag about it but now I know the truth. Zeke calls him Jennifer JR all the time. He say's "No, I'm not. I'm Ethan. We went to Chuckie E Cheese for his b-day. He loves that place! He loves pizza and he loves Chuckie!!!! That boy has a whole lot of love in that big heart of his.

Mrs. Kim made the cake. It was awesome! Very moist and yummy!

Full of good times

I have missed many weeks without my computer, ugh! There is so much to update but i dont have the time to tell you everything like i would love to do. So here is the 2 main and super fun things we have done since the 1st of May.
We went to the beach last week. IT was Eli's first time to go and he did very well. He is a go with the flow kind of kid. He wants to get into all kinds of adventures. Ethan was beyond excited! 2 weeks b/4 the trip he got into trouble everyday all b/c he would not stop asking "is today the day?", "Can we go tomorrow?" or this is even better, every time we got into the car even to go to church he would ask "Are we going to the beach NOW?" When we got 20 mins outside (2am)of Gulf Shores he was wide awake talking and talking did I say talking even more filled with excitement. He is definitely his grandma and daddy's child. Them two love the beach as well. I used the video camera mostly but i did get some good pic.

Eli and Emma

Happy 2nd Birthday Eli!!!

We had a small family party Tues. night with Lucas and Nana. Eli loves his toy drum and his Elmo books. He then woke up to a Fun and exciting Wed. He got a battery powered 4 wheeler and he LOVES that. We then had some huge but very yummy cupcakes at Sherry's for playdate. Boy did they ever muddy. He is into Mickey mouse toys and Elmo so of coarse he got those. He had fun! I made some yummy but ugly Mickey Mouse cupcakes. Oh well I never said that I had a skill in that area. At least the little kids liked the cupcakes. Grandma also made Choc. and Biscuits (it's a southern thing) with eggs and sausage. This pic is of Eli on the slip n slide for the first time.

Throwback Thursday

Eli turned 2 yesterday so lets throwback to when he was 1 and a little less mischievous.

Everything happens for a reason, right?

Well, I will tell you now that its all over with and done. I was pregnant and knew that I was but was not for sure because i had not been to the doc. So last Sat. I had a lot of problems and was hurting so I was having a miscarriage but I had no clue that's what it was. The following Monday it was proven that's what it was. I had to go to the doc and have several blood test done and most things came out normal. She told me it would be a month or so before i would feel "normal". I was thinking "not Jennifer, I will be just fine" and I was until a day later. I then begin to have panic attacks and was awake for 24 hrs with no sleep, all crying. It was not NORMAL! I was mad b/c it wasn't me. I am not suppose to do that. I am a strong woman. But ya know the Lord had other plans. I am still to this day recovering from last week and I now understand what anxiety and panic attacks are. If you've ever experienced that i understand and support you. It's hard but I WILL be just fine. So thanks to all of you that has helped me. Love ya!

P.S. If you want two little wild boys just call me hehe!

Here's a happy note! Look at my cute, cute, and I mean cute boys! Zeke was away for training. So I had to hold Eli so he would be in the picture.
