Little Sneaker!!

Persaus is always sneaking off somewhere so she can secretly suck on her brothers binkis, so when I got off the phone I went looking for her and she had snuck into the baby swing and while she was launging in there she fell asleep!!! sssssooooo cute even though she was breaking two rules!!!!

I'm not going to lie but I love to take sleeping pictures!! The kids just look so peaceful and precious!!!! These pictures where taken during nap time and to actually get Persaus to sleep during nap time is a momentous occasion so we deffenintly had to get the proof that she was sleeping!!!

Learning to save!!

Each Christemas the kids get a piggy bank to put money in so they learn how to save money!

Jed and I save all our change and the kids love putting it in their piggy banks!! the best part is that nearly every month they each get $5 bills to put in it as well as whatever change we have to add to it!!! they both get so excited to put there money int here piggy banks!! to be honest that makes Jed and I really happy as well because we know that at even a little age they are learning a very valuable life skill!!!!

this is persaus getting annoyed at her mother for interupting her glory!!! she put that rubber band on her head and her friends started laughing at her and she was totally enjoying the moment until MOM comes to take pictures and takes away her fame!!!

koven and persaus enjoying the zipline in our back yard!!! ok well actually its dad and koven that are enjoying it Persaus had to pretty much get put in the seat and pushed down it, she was not interested in it at all!! she cried the whole ride and was only int he seat long enough to go the length of it and for mom to take 2 pictures and then she was screaming to get out!!!! koven on the other hand had to be pried out of the seat he loved it!!! funny how one kids likes somehting and the other absolutly hates it!!!

this is what I get welcomed home to after I have been out working!!!! Defenently the best way to be greeted by my adorable kids!!!! I love them so much they are the best ever!!! They were getting ready for bed butthey got to stay up to say good night to mommy!!! I have the best husband and kids ever!!!! love you all tonz!!!!

Sticky

I know you cant see it but he is a sticky mess! This is the first sucker he has ever had and he enjoyed it to the fullest!!! He would take it out and put it back in and take it out repeatedly! Which ended up in the tub to get all the stickie ickies off!!!! His right hand is pretty much sealed shut becuse when he would take the sucker out he thought it was funny to grab it! Haha jokes on u now u cant use it!!!

No need to wait for mom or dad Ill just help myself!!! Just goes to show how popular Breakfast Casserole is in the Christensen, Delapp, Roberts, and Hunts Housholds!!! Breakfast casserole has been a family tradition for years we have it for birthdays, and holidays! This was the first time I had made it at our house instead of just eating it at grandmas! I would say it was a 100% success!!! Jed and I were over taking care of Koven when we turn around and see Persaus helping her self to more, after she had already had two pretty big pieces!! I would say she enjoyed it! since we were at home and didnt have to share the leftovers with anyone but ouselves we just let her enjoy herself and she ate quite a bit more!!!

Even when Koven was in the whomb Persaus was always talking to him and loving him and now that Koven is here they are the best of friends!! They have their moments when sibling rivalry takes over but for the most part they play very well together and keep each other very entertained so mommy can actually get somethng done! I would say that koven likes to play with her kitchen set more than her and Persaus likes to play with his cars more than him kinda funny!!! Their very favorite game to play is "pounce" or so I call it they circle each other until one of them jumps onto the other one!! It looks alot like boxers who are waiting to hit each other!!! Even though they beat the crap out of each other they cant be seperated!! They have a for life bond that you cant get from any other source!! They will always be there for one another!!! I love to watch them tackle each other and the best part is that when one of them gets hurt they feel bad and go try to help the other one by giving hugs or persaus is really into bandaids so she will yell at me "Buddy got hurt he needs a bandaid"!! Persaus is so protective over her brother that even when he gets in trouble for hurting her and I'm talking to him about what he has done she will yell at me "Be nice to buddy he is my friend"! just to clarify who Buddy is Persaus has called Koven that since he was born! They are best buddies 4-ever!!! The joys of mother hood!! Its so rewarding to know that as a mother I get the joys of watching them grow even closer!!!

How we came together!

How Our Hearts Came Together!

Jed and Crystal are high school sweet hearts, who have been together for 7 wonderful years and married for 5 of those years! We found each other at Crystal's first job the River Queen fast food joint in Riverton Utah! The first time Crystal saw Jed she said Im going to marry that guy some day, and two years later she did!! Jed was the man of her dreams! We were married for a year and then we found out that we were expecting our wonderful daugter Persaus! She is now 3 years of age and gracing us with her love and huge personality! When Persaus was 8 months old we found out that we were expecting our son Koven! Koven is now 18 months old and just staring to really bring his personality to the surface but we know he is a dare devil and spunky!!! We are so blessed to be united with all the love we have and we cant wait to watch how our love for each other grows!!!
