About Me

My photo
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.

We have had a busy couple months since we have moved into the house.  We have been busy unpacking and putting everything together, but still have a lot to do.  The main thing is to get shelves built in the garage and get the boxes up and finish putting pictures up.

Mom and Dad were down two weekends ago and will be back this next weekend.  JR had a weird episode of vertigo that landed him in the ER a month ago while he was already in the ER with a patient.  I drove in and spent the next 5 hrs with him until he was finally released after a clean angio CT.

I am amazed every day by how much Colin and Madison are growing.  I love watching the bond that they form every day.  Yesterday, we went for a 14 mile bike ride to the zoo and back and Colin fell asleep with his head resting on Madison's shoulders.

Aspen loves living out in Avimor.  He is able to go for walks off leash every weekend.  He is playful again and seems to be happy.  There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about Demon and Kelty and how much they would love it here.  Every time Mom and Dad come down I still expect to see Kelty drooling up a storm in the back of the pickup!!!

Conversation between Madison and Her Daddy

Aspen, Colin, and Madison

Coffee date with Daddy and Colin
Last night JR was putting Madison to bed when she looked at him and said " I know Colin is going to be tall like you, but am I going to be tall like you or STUBBY like Mommy."  I can't believe my little girl thinks I'm stubby!!!! I think I'd prefer petit.  When I asked her about it today she said she said stubby because she loves me!!!  I love the things that she says!  When she says her prayers at night now she ends it with "Fat fish and Bear combing his hair."  I have no idea where she gets these things!!!
