About Me

JR has been a paramedic for Ada County for the last 9 years. I also work for Ada County Paramedics in the Logistics Department. JR and I have known each other since middle school. He liked me in highschool, but I thought he was too goofy. We started dating our second year in college. We were married August 14th 2004 and had our little Madison July 30th 2008. Colin completed our family on October 11th, 2011.

Madison and Daddy enjoying her new bed

This last weekend we finally made the big leap into converting Madison's crib into a toddler bed. I have been putting it off because I was not ready for my baby to be a toddler in her own bed!!! The transition has been great; no problems at all. I think I had the hardest time.
Mom and Dad were here last Saturday through Tuesday. We had a really nice visit. Madison and Grandma went shopping just the two of them while I gave Dad and JR a peel. Unfortunatly, Mic had school that day. It has turned into beautiful fall weather and we've been enjoying the outdoors.
Madison got sick last night and so Mic came over to help me because JR was working a 24. Thank heavens for her. I have such horrible fear and anxiety about throwing up that it was nice to have her here helping me. She had to get up at 5 am to get ready for practicum... if that isn't the best sister, then I don't know what is. Thank you Mic.

Independence


On the tractor


Getting ready to do the Alpaca obstacle course

painting her pumpkin


She is so shy, just like her Mommy

Feeding the Alpaca's


We went to a coworker of JRs a couple of weeks ago who has an Alpaca farm. Madison had a wonderful time watching the Alpaca's, painting a pumpkin that she will tell everybody about and going on a hay ride.
Madison is sure showing her independence. We spend half the time in tears (both her and I). As JR puts it, she is conflicted. She wants to go see Daddy and work, but she doesn't want to see him. She wants that outfit, but then she doesn't, she needs to go potty, but she doesn't, etc...... Let's just say for every activity it probably take 30 min. just to get her ready for it. Thank goodness she is so adorable..... things that she says that make me laugh are: "Hungry in the car." I will keep you safe, Mommy." and she calls Grandma "Gram cracker."
