Announcing Our New Addition!

2009-10-02T09:25:00.000-07:00

We have been wanting to add to our family for a little over a year now. After what felt like an eternity we found out we were expecting! When you least expect it or just don't think about it is when its happens! We were a bit surprised!!

We are hoping to add a girl to the Wells family but as we've always said, we really just want a happy healthy baby!! So far the pregnancy has been completely different from the boys!! We'll just have to wait, and see!! November 22 is our ultrasound, I hope he/she will cooperate!! My intuition with our boys came really early, I knew I was having a boy each time. This time around my intuition hasn't spoken to me. So I am going to be just as excited and surprised as all of you!!

~Baby #3~

Today: 13 Weeks

The big surprise is just how Birthday's will now run in our family! Hehehe. I can see the challenges now! I can't wait!!

Daddy: April 18

Mommy: December 3

Braydon: October 25

Grayson: March 2

Baby #3 Due: April 7

We feel so blessed to have our family growing in numbers, we feel especially blessed that the over all health of our children has been tip top! The challenges and experiences that come with having children are an absolute Blessing and Lesson in Life!! I can speak for my husband and myself and say, we wouldn't change anything in life, ever, ever, ever!!!
Mommy & Daddy LOVE you all Greatly!!

~~~SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER~~~

MCCALL one more time!

Don, the boys, and I just returned on this Labor day weekend from McCall. I must admit the beauty/comfort/vacation of McCall is our new family getaway. We had fun hiking, walking, shopping, and just sitting and viewing the beauty all around us. We were so excited to have the opportunity to ride the 'BrUnDaGe' ski lift. It was high, cold, and beautiful! What a great family memory we have created for the kids to talk about for a long time.

UTAH - Grandma & Grandpa FUN!

We were thrilled to meet up in Utah with all of my family! It feels like forever since we had all been together. We had a great time, enjoyed g-mas birthday, the 24th July parade, the Dinosaur Museum, and much more! The kids had fun playing all together and just being kids! I think G-ma and G-pa need to invest in five of those little four wheelers. hehe. Hint hint! We also had the amazing surprise that my brother Jeff and his family would be moving from Mesa, AZ. to Utah in a matter of weeks! I was THRILLED to say the least! I am so happy that my family is slowly moving closer to me. Since Jeff and Kat have officially moved, they love Utah, they are fitting in very well and of course adjusting well. All the kiddos in photo's are: Grayson, Braydon, Daigon, and Cobrin. With one on the way, Jessica and Jon's baby boy!

Summer FuN!

Here at the "Cool Wells" home we have enjoyed a FuN fIlLeD, SuN SpLaShIn', LuNcH StUfFiNg, FiSh SwImMiN', AdVeNtUrOuS sEaKiNg summer! We have had a blast keeping busy with all kinds of activities. Among were many surprises and thrills, but we continued to have fun and find more, up until the very last day. Granted we are still numbered in our warm days but we can see the end nearing! We are looking forward to playing in the "Snow" and the "Cool Down" winter offers for a while. I can't believe, I am looking forward to winter? Yes I am. I guess my time away from Arizona has paid off that I can NOW enjoy the beauty, coolness, and white all around me! I am admitting it, I LOVE Idaho! Four Season's totally rocks!

"GARDENING"

We branched out, tried it, loved it, weren't successful, will try again, at Gardening!
We did alright but we see there are a couple things we will do differently. We had a lot of Cucumbers, Carrots, Corn, and Zucchini, its just that they didn't always taste as they should!

"STITCHES"

I did mention surprises, right! Yep Grayson gave the whole family a nice long visit to the Dr's. Office, for stitches! Did I mention, I LOVE little boys!! He did a great job when they were workin' on him, he didn't cry at all! He is our tough, strong boy! I am going to guess, give us one more year and we'll be in there again, but this time its going to be a broken ?? My boys are dare devils. Oh boy!?
One little monkey jumping on the bed...Fell down and bumped his little chin, bonk! On the headboard and bit through his lip!

"MCCALL FOURTH OF JULY"

In July we had a lot of family in town, it was really nice seeing all of them for a short visit. We decided this 4th of July to head up to McCall and see the fireworks there. The kids love it! We played in the lake all day, then at night we enjoy a BIG beautiful fire work display! We stayed there about three days and just enjoyed the nice weather and water. It was a great family activity that we just might keep up every year on the fourth of July!

~~~SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER~~~

Our Greatest

2009-04-29T09:15:00.001-07:00

Our visit with Great Grandma Wells; she is a beautiful, sweet woman! We love you Grandma!!
We don't have a lot time to go and visit so we try to visit once every six months or so...We have a lot of fun when we are there! We LOVE it because we have Grandma all to ourselves!
We were so pleased walking out of the house after a long visit she offered us her homemade "Chocolate Chip Cookies"
MMmmmm, Good!

April 2009
What I value the most about Great-Grandma Wells is her sweet compliments to me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hugs" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anytime I am around, she will ask, where is Jamie for my Jamie hugs. She tells me I have the best hugs of all of em. I walk away telling myself that she enjoys them because we are the same height. Everyone else is the family is too tall to get a great hug from them. Its the same with my own husband, I stand on the couch to get a GOOD hug from him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DON!!!

This Guy, whom I adore is home. Finally!!

2009-04-14T12:48:00.001-07:00

"The Burdens we Carry, do have their purpose"
On April 6th Don was scheduled to fly out to Mesa for a whole week! This was planned by the company he works for 'Cable One' they sent him there for Senior Tech Training, I think? The training would last the entire week, and he would come home Friday evening! I was certainly excited for him to go and learn all the new things they would be teaching him, I was excited that this time next year we would see in his pay a big change as a result of going to Mesa for training. I was also excited that he would get to see my Dad. I was also happy for him, because I knew he would enjoy the time away.
Now if you ask me, I was not happy he was leaving me alone. Alone with two little boys, and the overwhelming fear of being alone if something happened to him. Yea, I know he wasn't leaving me but he would be away and I knew it wouldn't be that simple for me. The fear I had in my mind was the plane was going down with him in it and I would never see him again, well alive in one week! I thought so much about it, that it made me sick to my stomach! At night I would lay in my bed with tears streaming down my cheek thinking that I wouldn't see him on Friday. I spend a lot of time praying for his safety! I dwelt on my childhood, about my step Dad passing away, he was a great man! I miss him so deeply, I prayed each night that he would protect my dear sweet husband. I also dwelt on the passing of Don's dad, which at the time, hit me like a ton of bricks, I didn't know his Dad really well, but the passing of my step Dad felt so recent that I couldn't bare another loss, especially a loss that hurt my New husband so badly!! The only blessing; I could hold in my heart for Don was the joy he felt, knowing that weekly prior to his fathers death, they would talk anywhere, anytime, for a long/short periods of time. I prayed that his father would protect him and bring him home to me. Death is so sudden, it's my fear that it might happen to me, too soon!
You know, I get that death is the circle of life, that we will see our loved ones again, that if we have hope, faith, prayer, and all the other things to build ourselves up we will be okay. I have this burden for a purpose, I know if I strive to understand why, and what I can do to change my feelings I will one day be able to let my sweet husband pass without "letting him" take me with him.
I can say, last Friday my dear sweet husband landed safely at the Boise Airport where the kids and I picked him up and brought him home. I did great with the kids, they were well behaived and obeyed fairly well, as I thought? I didn't fear being alone in my home, our safety wasn't my concern. What I feared was Don not walking off the plane. Looking back at the burden I carried while he was away, has made me feel that I have the power to overcome this great burden. One day I will, BUT I can say it won't be today or tomorrow but it will be in time. I told Don, have been hurt by many experiences in my life. For once, I got something right! Its you, and losing you, before I know how to let go will harm me forever. This is my greatest fear!
My Blessed Patriarchal Blessing says, I bless you with optimism in your trials, with patience and fortitude. I bless you with faith in Jesus Chirst which will stand forever!!
I will earn how to 'let go!'
Jamie Wells

~The Ice Sculptures in McCall Idaho~

We had a great Time!

This ice sculpture was amazing... It stood about 2-3 story's high? You could walk around on the inside if it was allowed, and each tree had a silly face etched into them. The detail was so incredible!!

Me and The boys!

This is the McCall City Jail, this is where the ice sculptures are.. McCall Idaho.

Can you see it? This is a fish eating a slice of pizza!

Just a Little Something of Me

2008-12-19T12:48:00.000-08:00

Family and Friends, I want you to know. I have had many trials and challenges in my life. I wouldn’t change anything about my life; I will change so my children live a better life than mine. I love who I am, I love who I have become. Would I change my life experiences for another? Absolutely not! I am me because of all my life experiences!

I am a proud Wife and Mother, my family means the world to me. I Love who my children are, and wish for them all the joys, love, and experiences the world has to offer. I pray soon I will have more children join my home and family. Children mean the world to me! Children are the most precious, sweet, miracles of this life. I always want my children to know their Mother loves, and adores them dearly! My Sweet Children, Mommy Loves YOU!!

My sweet husband has swept me off my feet for 6yrs and taught the most amazing experiences I have ever had. The man in my life, really loves, cares, and adores me. My husband is a great, giving, thoughtful, understanding, patient, and kind man. I am so happy; I had the privilege of marrying him. He is just right, for me! Honey, I Love YOU!

I am working for three months, with this job I will strive each day to be the very best wife and mother for my children and husband, because they deserve the best from me. I want learn and grow from this experience. I will work hard, and do a great job! Most importantly not forgetting my family and making them happy and proud of me. We Hope you all have a great Holiday Season!! Merry Christmas to you All!!

This is what happens.....

When the look in his eyes leaves you breathless. I love that moment. Yeah ladies

A Couple Weeks

2008-10-01T08:43:00.000-07:00

So I warned you all that blogging on this page was not going to be the highlight of my life.
Sorry, but I have better things to be doing than wasting time on this, even though I enjoy this kind
of stuff a lot.

Since my last page we have been doing a lot around here. A couple weeks ago I was offered a job that I couldn' t turn down. I'll be working with a young man as his communication between him and others, I am very excited to begin, yet very nervous too! It's been three years since I last picked up my hands to communicate with someone in the Deaf community. I really look forward to joining them again. We will see how I do.

The Kids and I have been busy with friends a lot this past couple weeks. We enjoy going to the Library for story time, playing at the park, going to the Eagle stores to look around, or just having friend over for lunch and play group. The kids have really enjoyed seeing and being with friends. I too enjoy this time, you know how when you have kids the social gatherings you once had some how diminish away before you realize you don't have any friends left? Yeah, I have managed to build those relationships back, and enjoy each and everyone a bunch!

Yeah, I have a Birthday coming up soon! Not telling when, but since I'll be taking a trip to Arizona solo with two little boys in November, for my sister's Wedding we figured it was the best thing to do. Plus my job, the girls who will childcare for my boys will have an easy way of contacting me. Yeah, that is right! I got a cell phone.
Don and I agreed due to the expense of Cell phones it would be my Birthday gift. Let me tell you I was so excited to finally join the Cell Phone World! We had to joke and laugh, here I am turning 27 just getting my new Cell phone! Yet the 15 yr old down the street has had his own for the last year! Aw, its alright, at least I have one now. Just shows how the world has changed!

Last, I need to get off the Computer, I can hear my little Tornadoes going to work out in my living and Kitchen area. Who wants to guess what they are getting into? If its good I'll surely take a picture so you can see the thrilling life I have with two little Hurricanes!! I am sure you know the feeling.

Please Enjoy, and hey, don't forget to comment!!

Western Idaho Fair

2008-08-23T16:01:00.000-07:00

I forgot the camera when we went but the Friday before we went to the fair our family took a trip to Twin Falls Idaho to see the New Temple. We had a ton of fun and thought the Temple was Beautiful! Then the following Monday Daddy surprised us all and took us to the Fair. We had a Blast! Sadly Grayson couldn't ride the rides yet but sure loved these sticky Animals!

The boys looking at the goats

Now have you ever seen a four horned Goat? I haven't.

You guys were soooooo smelly!

Grayson feeding the goat, I am not sure what he is feeding him?? Finger maybe?

Braydon's very first Milking! He did it right, great job big guy!

Grayson is too small to ride the rides but he found this little car. It was his ride. He soooooo loves this thing!

Braydon riding his first roller coaster

My New Skate's

2008-08-23T15:47:00.000-07:00

We held off for four months giving these skate's to Braydon. These were the "Potty Training" prise. Braydon is doing well going potty but he hasn't mastered it yet. Soon I hope!! We noticed the weight for them and realized we better let him try them since he is 2lbs away from being too big. He loves them! Look at my cool NEW skate's!

Wow, I am doing really well! Mom look I am skating. Take a picture.

Alright Lets Go! I am ready to skate.

I borrowed a Bandanna from a friend for BUNCO and he wanted to use to be a Pirate.
My friend didn't get her Bandanna back until we replaced this one. Funny kid!
Argh!!! Hey guys, I'm right here. Cya! Off he went!

Argh, I I Matty, I'm a Pirate!!
Oh he loves his little bandanna.

Grayson Playing WII with Daddy

2008-08-23T14:11:00.000-07:00

Grayson wanted to play the WII like Daddy! I am not sure he really knows what to do with his hands though. He was really funny swinging his arms around trying to play.

Come on Gryson hit the ball. You can do it!!

Pulled up Over Head

2008-08-23T13:48:00.000-07:00

The story is Braydon was really mad because he didn't get his way on something so
Don said, you need to stop and pulled his shirt over his head.
Since then the kids have loved Daddy pulling their shirt over their head.
Mommy doesn't like because the stretch, but it does make me laugh.

Yep Braydon loves the shirt over the head too!

The boys love having their shirts on their head. They are so funny!

Grayson being silly!

New Church Clothes

2008-08-23T13:24:00.000-07:00

We have been dressing the boys in polos and slacks for so long, I figured it was
time to make them look like young men going to church. So I got
them button up shirts, ties, slacks and nice shoes.
They look so cute! Big or not they look like young men.

Our Little Grayson after Church, Handsome guy!
(17 months old)

Alright, let the truth be told. The boys look like they are swimming in their clothes
because the sizes they have on are boys 4/5. We tried the infant
section but nothing fit...

Braydon after Church. Stud!
(I can Obey)
He has done well at Obeying since this project was done in Nursery.
Mommy and Daddy loved this project
