Mom got bitten by 'Breaking Dawn'!...

OK...so I really did slack off this weekend. I waited in line at Walmart on Friday night so I could be one of the first to get Stephanie Meyer's fourth and final book of the 'Twilight' saga, 'Breaking Dawn'. I got home Friday night and started reading it right away. I love these books so much but when the plot starts getting intense I can't help myself. I can't stand not knowing what is going to happen. Then when I do stop reading I sit there and think about it. This last book is just great, scary, weird and crazy but so so good! I thought that I just need to get it read and over with so that I don't have to worry about it anymore. Well...lets just say...it took over my weekend! I didn't even go hang out with my friend Desi because I was just enthralled. Sorry by the way! Anyway...I was a little obsessed, to say the least. Jeff was awesome though and my kids were as cooperative as I could expect. I had to stop every now and then so that Jeff didn't go crazy with entertaining the kids on his own but I was on a roll. Well...last night (Sunday/Monday) at about 12:45 a.m. I finished the book. I am sad now that it is done but at least life can go on. I am so happy with how this book series turned out. I think maybe the best I have ever read. I am excited for the movie now. Really excited actually!

I even have red eyes like a vampire. I know I am retarded. I was taking the red eye out and decided that I should leave it in to add to my insanity. I know I am a goober. I would like to think I am just passionate...!

Well...because I was so 'bitten' by my book...lets just say our normal family weekend was a little...off!

My family wouldn't get out of my face... that didn't make reading very easy but...I tried to share my attention as best as I could...I think Jeff was the biggest whiner!...

I got a bit annoyed sometimes but I expected that I would get over it...Jeff really was awesome at letting me have this weekend to devote to reading. Thanks Jeff! I love you...I will make it up to you...I promise...wink! wink!
Jeff got crazy with his facial hair too...you all saw his beard that he was growing...I liked it until he started adding a mustache...I don't enjoy kissing a porky-pine! When he did shave off the beard he went a little crazy with his side burns. I am glad to say that he is back to normal now... but I think he might try the beard thing again in the winter...he must be thinking that it makes more sense when it is cold...what?...a winter coat for his face? Hmm...

Kohen got so desperate for food. Ha ha! He never is quite sure what he wants...he just wants to sit there and play in the fridge. It is pretty funny though to look at. He just loves to eat so much. I think I was busy reading so when I came to get a snack he decided to show me that he was hungry too. Smart boy!
Adi got inventive with her pretending! She wanted a cape so she could be SUPER ADI! She is getting so smart and has such an imagination. She turned into quite the chatter box this weekend. Having an opinion on everything. If she didn't have much to say she would just repeat what Me or Jeff had just said and then add her two sense. Crazy kid! She would come find me, if I was reading in my room, and poke her head in every now and then and just ask," You okay momma?" I would say yes and she would run away. Seriously...crazy kid! I don't know who she got that from!...Hee hee!

I don't think Jeff would agree but I had a great weekend...thanks again babe for letting me go crazy into my book. I am so happy and sad that I was able to finish it. Once again if there is anyone who wants to read something great and have an escape you should pick up these books. They really are amazing! Woo hoo! I am crazy and am not afraid to share with whoever wants to be crazy with me! Just one favor...if you do read it and want to talk to someone about it...call me! I love talking about it anytime anywhere!...

DVDS!

Will the next kid be playing with my Blu-Ray collection?

Shes lost in a Haze

There will be no further posting from my wife until Breaking Dawn is finished.

Hair and Teeth

As you Can see Kohen is getting his front teeth in.




I was also growing out a beard just to see how it looked. I was at about 2 weeks in the pic I went about 4 more days and shaved it down to the normal under the chin thing that I always have. I think this winter I will grow another one for a month or two.

Ahh!...Memories...

As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you (if you already haven't). It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. Ahh!...memories...

I am crazy about 'twilight'!...

I know, I know...I can't stop talking about this book. I have been hearing about these books for like the past year and half but I new that if I started reading the first one I would not stop. Well, I was right. I started reading Twilight on Sunday night and finished on Wednesday night. I couldn't stop reading. It is so addicting. Jeff was making fun of me because I was giggling like a little girl while I was reading it. I have to say I am IN LOVE with Edward Cullen. Oh my freaking heck! I have never read a book that has made me feel this way. Did I say that I love this book. I started last night on the second book, 'New Moon' and I am sure and just going to keep going. I was crying by the third chapter. Once again I know, I am crazy! I have also heard all about the movie they are making of 'Twilight' and I am very excited. It comes out this December. I am sure it will be great but I am worried that it won't capture the feelings the book so eloquently built up in me. I know I probably sound ridiculous but whatever, I don't really care. Reading this book I can almost hear Bella breathing and feel her heart beat when she is going through all she does. Man...I get all crazy just thinking about Edward and Bella. If there are other people who have read this awesome book and want to chat with me about it I am all ears. If there is anybody who hasn't read this book and doesn't think reading is for you, try this book. I have called my mom and demanded that my sisters read it as well. I am very passionate about sharing this experience with all that want to be swept away and feel the feeling of falling in love by reading a book. Yeah...I'm crazy!

King family fun!

I was just wanting to share some fun we are having this summer so far. Our family has so much fun...mostly because of our oh so funny, creative, and lovable children. Case in point... This pink dress was about a week ago. She loved this outfit I think. She really liked the tights...the reason I think that is because of what happened just a few days later... picture below of her in the orange dress. Adi picked it out all by herself. She disappeared the other day and came out a few minutes later in this. I think she was trying to be a big girl and man was she proud of herself. I love that her tights are sagging so low.Speaking of tights... just today she came out once again having dressed herself and under her black pants were black tights...yes again! Tights are her must have with every outfit. She told me when I was trying to figure out what was going on under her pants after going potty. "I can't pull up my tights under my pants!" She must have noticed my face of confusion because she said," They match mom!" So it was okay that she was wearing tights under her pants because they matched.I laughed by butt off...But I made sure she knew she did a really good job dressing herself. Ha ha!

She even put on an under shirt under her dress. Why, I have no idea...I think she was just so proud that she was putting on what she wanted. I guess that translated into this beautiful outfit...oh, her dress is on backwards too!...so silly!

We got a fun little pool and when I say little it really is a little swimming pool. Adi thinks that it is just great because it so little tiny and it has a little sun and a little rainbow. She likes anything that is little tiny...no...really...!

We have been playing a ton of Rock Band on the xbox. It is funny how Kohen and Adi get so excited when we play it. Adi has even started to sing along. She plays the drums pretty good too. I think Kohen would like to play the drums. Anytime they're out we have to let him have a turn. He stands up holding on with one hand and hitting the drums with the other. Rock star in the making! We really love playing and it is something fun to do instead of just watching T.V...I have to say I am obsessed with getting better and better at the drums and the guitar. I Love to Rock Out!...If there is anyone out there who has the opportunity to play Rock Band...do it. Even if your not the greatest at first just keep trying...I love it!....Rock and roll!

Adi has also been learning how to write her name...I can't get her to do more than the "A" though. She just writes an "A" over and over again...she even practices on the wall...in my kitchen...with a sharpie! Thank goodness for the Mr. Clean magic eraser. Oh...I was so proud...and just a little bit mad.

Summer has been great so far...I sure wish I was being able to work on my tan a little bit more but that isn't working out as I'd hoped. Maybe we can do some stuff outside in the coming weeks...Anybody who wants to go swimming or boating or anything like that and wants some cool friends to come along just let me know...We are there! (that's right Quinn...I mean you...I'm watching you!) Just make sure before you invite us that you really want us there! (oh...!Low blow! Ha ha!)

Kohen the Entertainer!

Kohen is so funny!...he has been mobile for quite a while now but just lately he has become so funny. Crawling around climbing on things and all over us too of course. He starting to make some noise too...it might be talking of some kind but I am not pushing it. He has been saying "Dada!" Whether that means Jeff or not...mmmm...probably not but we like to think so. I just keep telling Jeff..."Look he wants you...listen he is calling for you!"...most of the time Jeff obeys Kohen's call but not always...he just looks at me and gives me that "nice try" look. Kohen's getting so big that I am freakin out a little bit...I feel like I just had him. Adi must think he is big and grown too because she told me yesterday that she wants another baby...not play baby...a baby in my tummy. Ahhh! I am not quite there yet...I still need more time with my baby boy! These videos just give you peak into how fun he is...seriously...so funny! I think he likes getting us laughing ...because every time he gets us to laugh he does whatever it is that got us laughing again and then waits for our reaction. He is already a little comedian always entertaining us. My kids are always crakin me up!

Who took my blog ?

Well it’s been awhile since my last post, my wife has taken over as blog master. I am fine with that as she is doing a great job (and my blog has never had so many visitors). So whets new with me? I have been working at my new job and things have been great. I am getting more and better accounts everyday. I really enjoy my co-workers and my boss is awesome. Now the drive is just about the biggest pain in my life right now. After driving so much in New Jersey you would think that I wouldn't mind but the NJ turnpike is heaven compared to I-15 around 5:30 in the evening.

I was able to enjoy a awesome perk from work last month. Quinn and I were able to go to Florida and work the National Apartment trade show. We were in Orlando for 4 days and had a great time. I ate the biggest and best steak in my life, Also I tried alligator which is like chewy chicken. I still don't understand why people life in Florida, talk about a humid mess of a state. I thought that Virginia in August was bad. Not even close to Florida.

It was also a lot like old times as Quinn and I were out on the town again. Things were different as we called our wife's and kids all the time but it was like old times again.

4th of July Weekend

Our 4th of July was pretty chill. We were planning on sleeping in but the fact that we are the second house in from the main road in West Point made that impossible. The West Point parade started at 8:30 a.m. and we heard the front of the parade coming...it was the fire trucks and police cars. Whoo! Whoo! Fun, right! We woke up...didn't really have choice...and went out and watched the parade. Adi liked that they were throwing candy and I am pretty sure Kohen enjoyed it too. We went over to our friend Brooke and Ty Gibson's house where we had dinner and the kids as our entertainment. They had little kiddie pools, slip and slide, and a trampoline. Adi had a blast hanging out with one of her new friends...Hailee Gibson. We couldn't pull her away even to eat... she was just having too much fun. For fireworks that night we went to Grandma and Grandpa Kings house. We did our own little pack of fireworks that you can see Kohen loved. He just sat in the cart holding onto them and hitting them with his hands with a big smile. A pyro in the making I think. After our little tub of fireworks was all gone and we were burnt out on sparklers we watched the Layton City fireworks show. I think that Kohen had a great first 4th. It was nice to just go with the flow and hangout. Happy 4th to all of you who enjoyed the holiday weekend. I know we all did!....bang...blast...boom...pop....crash...those are my fireworks sounds! Ha ha!

Baby Boy Kohen!

Kohen is so funny! I took these pictures about a week ago and I have meant to post them. Kohen is pulling some funny faces and I thought I would share them. He is getting so big. He will be 9 months in just a couple days. He is teething which is just a blast but other than being fussy every now and then he just a happy kid. He just crawls all over the house mostly following me where ever I go. He is starting to have fun with his big sister too. He just thinks she is hilarious...she gets a little rough sometimes but he can take most of it. He is getting some bumps and bruises because he just so curious. He is into everything he can get his little hands on. He is still a momma boy though...actually right now as I type this he is pulling on my pants wanting me...sometimes it is nice to know he loves me so much...other times....grrr! Well, enjoy the funny faces of our baby boy Kohen!

zoo much fun!!!

The zoo was just too much fun! I thought I would share just a few more pics and the video of the kids riding the carousel....when I asked Adi what her favorite animal was she said it was the little tiny monkey...I think it was just because it was so little tiny...she is upsessed with little tiny things. I think she really liked the baby giraff too...she wasn't too sure about the snakes! I didn't like those much either!...Anyhoo...enjoy!

Elephant Birthday @ the Zoo!

So we went to the zoo! I was watching the news last week and saw that it was going to be Dari the elephants birthday on Saturday...Adi loves the zoo so I thought it would be fun to go. We missed them giving her her elephant sized cupcake but we had so much fun! Adi loves the Zoo and Kohen stayed awake the whole time. He was so funny he was singing the whole time we were walking around. We had the stroller but he wasn't in it much. He was wanting to look at everything just like everyone else. For those of you that haven't heard the singing of Kohen when he is fighting sleep it's like an... "AHHH!" sound but gets louder and quieter, up and down and up and down. It is so funny! .....oh! The other reason I knew Adi would love it is that they just got a new carousel with all the endangered animals on it. The money you pay to ride go to help the endangered animals! Cool,huh! Adi is all about the carousel...she loves them! She had very little patients when we were waiting for Jeff to get our tickets so we could ride. She also couldn't decide which animal she wanted to ride on...she finally settled on the zebra. Right in front of the zebra was what Kohen rode on...a big silver back gorilla!Oh, man did he love it! He was smiling as soon as he got on and was hitting the gorilla the whole time...like he wanted to go faster or something!So funny! I am happy to say that we all enjoyed our visit to the zoo! Dari the elephant sure knows how to throw a party! Happy birthday Dari!....oh!Pics brought to you by Aunt Jenn!....she got some really cute pics of the kids!....thanx!

We found a park!

The kids and I were home yesterday sick of the house and bored... we didn't really have anywhere to go, and going somewhere for no reason is too expensive these days, gas prices are out of control! I am sure you all agree that gas is rediculous...anyhoo! Jeff got home and off we went on a search for a park near the house. Man did we find a nice one! We had such a fun time...well until Adi fell and experienced her first skinned knees. Dumb flip flops! Even though we had to go home to tend to Adi's boo boos we had found our park! Kohen even got on the swings...Adi did too! She insisted that she swing one more time before we go home...skinned knees and all! She is one tough chick...she gets that from her mommy! Ha ha! I am excited to go back. It is only down the street and it will be a good escape from sitting at home...it is so close we could walk even...in your face gas prices!!!

more pics!...

So I have this camera that is kinda moody...sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I got it out yesterday and found some pics on it that are pretty darn cute. So I thought I would post them...I'm pretty sure these were taken right before we moved...right around Adi's birthday...that was the end of April. They are just so dang cute that I wanted to share them.

heart breaker !

You can't really tell what his shirt says but it says "HEART BREAKER" ....what heart beaker he is...isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen! I think so! Watch out ladies!...

Juline is blogging now!

So I have always just looked at the blog and had somewhat of an input on what Jeff does with it but I have never really added to it. I am now going to post and have an active roll in out blog. So get excited....are you excited?...good!....and you better comment...if you like it say so!!!!

Driving around

I really don't know what to title this post.

Its been a busy week for me. I started my new job and I can say that I really enjoy it. My head was spinning the first day or two from all the new information. My new Co workers have been full of praise which is a surprise. Everyone has been a great help. I really enjoy it.

Here are a few pictures of the kids doing their thing.





I don't know who this kid is I came home one day and he was just here.
