All my family at thanksgiving!

Just Deklan being cute one day I took pics.

So I am pretty sure I am just never going to be super amazing at blogging all the time! (sorry

Andrea!) I just feel like when I do have computer time, I always have something else that I HAVE to get done! but I thought you all deserved a little update on life in the Ross' house.

So Deklan is almost three months old... I can't believe it! at his two week check up he was 13lbs, 22 inches. he is growing so fast! alreay in 9 month clothes! he is an angel and a blessing to his mommy. he has her wrapped around his finger!

Kaleah is quite the little drama queen...hmm wonder where she gets that from... shw pretty much rules the world and can get anything from her daddy and she knows it... doesn't help with mommies disiplining... she has been sick for a week and shows no sign of getting better... she actually tells me she is tired and goes and lays down!!! probably time to visit the doc.

Zayden is the Biggest help in the world to his parents. He is and always has been such an independant little boy. well he is just content reading and playing on his own, so when mommy needs a break or a shower, he is awsome! he also loves helping with his little brother and sister. He has got one crazy imagination on him though. I am preety sure he will end up an author or movie writer/producer... yep it's that intense and he is three!

I am still trying to get adjusted to life with three... it's coming easier, I just have a selfish part about me that I am really working to get rid of. I love my kids and will always do whats best for them, but sometimes I feel like doing what I want... oh well. I am happy being a mom. I am really looking forward to moving back to Idaho soon... hopefully.

Kyler is just Kyler. He is amazing super dad to his kids and super husband to me! I love him and I know he is struggling with the job hunt, but he plays so cool! I love you kyler!

Happy Halloween!!! and lots more...

So we had so much fun tricker-treating with the kids... even though I was sick. They had fun and that is all that counts!

introducing...

I know I already told you he is here... but here is the proof!

Drum Roll Please...

Deklan Lakai Ross was born at 8:37 pm on the 15th!!! and he wasn't huge! 8lbs 2 oz!!! pics to come!

Pregnancy...

Yes I HATE being Prego... I am not one of those women who feel good and love their body... I am fat, uncomfortable and ready for this kid to come out... on this note, Baby Ross will come on Sept 14th. I am being induced. I had a dr appointment today and they did an ultra sound (which at 38 weeks is kinda cool to see!) and they do not want him to get over ten pounds. ( I would have to have a C-Section.) So the 14th it is... only one more week and I get my "body" back. When I say this i mean I don't have to share anymore... is that selfish???

Flaming Gorge

So we went to the lake this weekend and had a blast! we got to see two of our sisters on the ross side that we haven't seen in a while! it was hot and sunny and un was had by all!!!


Zayden and his cousin Stetson riding the tube... Zayden actually went wake boarding and got up but we didn't get a picture! if you ask him what he likes better he says "SLAKE BOARDING"!!!


Zayden and cousin Trayton on an inflatable jet ski

Kyler getting ready to barrel role the tube.

Kaleah hangin out with the girls gettin tan!

And yes... this is me at 36 weeks tubing and yes that is Kaleah standing up while we were tubing!!! She loved it! She wanted to go much faster but being in a tube my belly was absorbing all the bounce!!! Thanks Chris and Kyler for planning an awesome trip!

Do you really need the toys???

So this morning I got in the shower and left my kids playing with a movie on and this is what I came out to...

So I ask... Do we really need to purchase toys that end up on the floor and played with maybe 50% of the time??? or Do you think the toy BOX is a better way to go??? When I asked Zayden what they were doing, he informed me that they were in the middle of the ocean in California watching a movie from their boat.... Kids, you gotta love them!!!

hooray for pictures!!!

So finally some pictures of things that have happened this summer!!!


Camping and getting fire wood for winter!!!


Zayden giving kyler a haircut... yes he really cut his hair... sort of!

Another picture of camping... (they just got back from bear hunting with Grandpa)!!!

Uncle Sawyers favorite little girl....

Getting our oil changed at Uncle Nicks Work!!!

There are lots more to come!!!

Time...

I know, I know... I really do think about updating alot. but I never have my camera and our computer is not in a place where I can just leave my kids and go blogging... nice thought, but no. So I will post without photos today, just so I can say I did. Pictures will come I promise.

Idaho was amazing and I can't wait to go back next month for my sisters wedding! Yes Chloe' is getting Married!!!! To Nick Hessing a GREAT guy. We love him.

Baby #3 come sometime next month as well, making the arrival of me at my sisters wedding questionable... but I am determined to be there... My due date is the 20th, and She gets married on the 25th, so, because I have HUGE babies, they are thinking about taking him a week early... this would help....

Zayden and Kaleah are SO excited for baby brother to get here they ask me everyday if we are going to the doctor so he can come out!

We are still thinking about names, so if you have any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.

anyway, enough blabbing... I will post again next week with some pics!

Mothers Day!

Happy mothers day to all the beautiful mothers out there! I might not know you THAT well, but I love and appreciate all that you do! And to my mom! I love you stinkin guts! My mom is pretty much the most awsome onthe planet. I can't wait to go up and be able to spend a month with her this summer! love you mom!

4 Years!!!

Today is our fourth Anniversary! I cannot believe that it has been that long! I guess the saying "time flies when your having fun!" rings true! Kyler and I have had so much fun over the last four years... We have three kids...(almost), we have moved 8 times! (yes, we are ready to settle..but who knows), we love each other SOOOO much...(ok I am talking for him too! haha). and most of all we are so excited to keep on going for more and more and more years! I am so glad I have the best husband in the world to spend eternity with! I love you Kyler! Happy Anniversary!

Baby News!

Well I finallly made it to the doctor on Monday and the verdict is... IT'S A BOY!!! YAY!!! I am so excited! He is healthy and growing like a weed. The doctor thought I might be further along than I am but we figured out there is no way that is possible. so Sept 20th it is and she said that if he keeps growing the way he is they will have to take him early. they do not want him getting bigger than 10 lbs! She said that he is only supposed to weigh about 4oz right now but he is about 10oz. so He is already showing signs of following in his older siblings footsteps of being a big baby! We are really excited and have no names yet but we will keep you posted!

Sisters...

So you all know that I moved to Middle of no where Colorado, USA... I never really knew how hard this was going to be. I mean The closest walmart is an hour away. the closest mall is two hours away... for a city girl this is really hard!!! the hardest part of all though, is being away from my family. I really miss having my mom right around the corner and my dad to give me hugs when I need it, but the person I miss the most is my sister Chloe'. Chloe' and I have been through so much over the last few years and it has created a bond between us that is impossible to break. I miss her smile and the way we would laugh at inside jokes. I miss the midnight phone calls and visits when we needed a shoulder to cry on. I miss our late night runs to Taco bell and the long but enjoyable rides to Garden Valley together. I just wanted to let her know that she is missed and I can't wait to see her soon! Love you Chloe' you are my Rock, my sister and my best friend! I LOVE YOU!!!

Holy Crap!!!

Ok, so I am not going to lie... I suck at blogging! I think about doing it, I just don't... hopefully I can get better... MAYBE!!!

So, I have had the most rediculous year so far. This list is pretty crazy and I might babble, so just be warned!

We found out we will be welcoming baby #3 in September... AHHHHHH!!!! No we were not trying. Yes, I freaked out, cried and was a little... ok a lot bitter at first. BUT... I have come to realize that we wanted more eventually and this little guy or girl just couldn't wait! so day by day and literally minute by minute, I am getting more excited. Kyler is thrilled. He loves babies, not that I don't, I just wanted a little break...HA that is what heavenly father said! haha. No really, in all seriuosness, I am happy.

I am currently directing the High School Drama program this year. They started out doing Joseph, but Due to the fact that we live in a population 100 town, the lack of cast members called for a change. So Robin Hood it is... and at first I was really sceptical, but it is soooo funny to watch these kids act in "British" accents! All in All I have learned that I never want to be a high school teacher of any sort. I love the kids, but it just reminds me of why I left H.S. early in the first place! I love directing and maybe I will work with my dad again some day, but i'm afraid this was a one time thing!

The most crazy and absolutley horrable thing to happen to us is.... We were robbed! Yeah! We were in Salt lake, visiting my parents and brother, and while we were all out to eat, someone smashed our window to our car! they took our camera (hence...no pics!), my purse, AND... the worst of all... all of Zaydens birthday presents! Who steals a 3 year olds birthday gifts! I mean, they were clearly in a big bag that said HAPPY BIRHTDAY!!! I was livid. The other stuff is replaceable, but what do you tell a little boy when he asks where all his stuff is? I mean, it's kinda hard to tell him that someone stole it and it's ok... because it's not! and that could confuse that heck out of him. to think that stealing is ok! So anyway, now we are hunting down all the stolen items so that we may re-purchase them... Poor guy. But he is a trooper, we just told him we have to go on a scavenger hunt in the store to find them all!

So yeah, crazy year. lots of good times, lots of crazy times, all in all, we are happy being a family. Kyler is still busy at work and we are trying to sell our house in boise still. but as soon as we sell it, we are probably moving back, Kyler wants to finish school. So anyway! I am glad to see all of you are happy and doing well! keep in touch!

P.S. Thanks for getting after me Rach!
