Here is my little vampire baby! His front tooth is just about to break through, and I had to get a picture <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
before it did. I tried once before to get a picture of his fangs, but Chandler was fighting hard not to have my fingers in his month. The picture I did get of his teeth the first round look awful. It looked like I was ripping off his lip! I couldn't post a picture where it looked like I was ripping lips off. This time around I pulled out the big guns to get Chandler to be a little happier with me prying he mouth open. When I say big guns I mean chocolate. And Yes, Chandler loved it! </div>

I just haven't ever really been attracted to the idea, but at the end of 2013 I saw so many ways I needed to improve. So my New Years resolution is to improve. I made a few little signs that I put up on the magnet board in my room, and my goal each day is to get as many of them accomplished as possible. My little signs say: Pray, Read the Scriptures, Give Service, Make a Record, Stay Calm, Make Dinner, Eat Healthy, Do a load of Laundry, Workout, Clean something, and Do the Dishes After Every Meal. :) Eating Healthy is totally my hang up. I just love to EAT A LOT! Even when I make healthy food I eat way to much thus not making as healthy. I also Haven't been great at keeping my sink clean.(Jake has been ding the dishes for me lately and I LOVE him for it.) I will improve in those two things!<br />

I bet y'all thought this blog was abandoned. Ha! I did think about posting quite a few times :) But it is taking a New Years resolutions for me to get my fingers a moving.<br />

Jake started the year off right by nearly cutting his finger off. No, his finger was not dangling by the skin or anything, but he cut through the tendon and nerve. Thus he needed surgery. How did he do this? By attempting to cut off the little 'feet' off of a power strip with a super sharp chisel. Jake went to physical therapy for 12 weeks for that! The best news of 2013 for Jake GOT INTO BYU!!! Woot Woot! In July Jake started his MBA. He is still working at General Atomics while he goes to school in the evening. He also fills his time working on a starting business. At the moment he is working on <a href="http://www.mfglink.com/">www.MFGlink.com</a>. check it out!<br />

I had a wonderful year adjusting to life with three children. On occasion I feel over whelmed, but I <b>LOVE </b>having 3 children. I was expecting the worst, but three children has been such a wonderful blessing. My pregnancy felt never ending, and the end of it was very emotional for me. I was pregnant for 42 weeks! I never thought I would be pregnant that long! I even planned the blessing for the baby at a week and half after my due date but my baby didn't come for it! Oh I want to cry just thinking about how big of a mess I was. My family came and left and I was still pregnant! My labor and delivery was good. I had a home birth and really loved being able to give birth where I felt most comfortable.<br />

Tori started Kindergarten! She is in a Spanish immersion program, so half of her school work is taught in Spanish. She really likes her teacher and the new friends she has made. Tori is still in ballet and really enjoys being able to go every week! Tori love being a big sister! She is always willing to help her brother feel better if he cries and play with him. She loves crafting everything from necklaces to painting. She also really enjoys making books.<br />

Miss Macy Leona is my strait talking little firecracker with the most sweet and tender little heart. Every day that girl pipes up with the most outrageous things to say. Whatever she has to say it is always true and it makes to laugh. One thing she did that wasn't so funny was to cut her own bangs. Thankfully she did a okay job, and only cut her bangs, but we are still waiting for them to grow in. Macy started taking Ballet lessons this year, and she is now leaping gracefully wherever she goes. Macy also loves being a big sister and is way to eager to smother her Brother with kisses!<br />

Chandler Jacob Green is the newest member of our family and he has stolen all of our hearts. He was born on April 30, and gave us a big smile the very first day he was born! He has been a wonderful baby. He is happy and sweet and just a lovely ray of happiness and light in my our families' life. He is growing to fast. He is now eight months and walking along the couch. He loves to cuddle and play with balls. Oh and he has little vampire teeth right now because his two front teeth have not come in but the teeth to sides of them have.<br />

Have I mentioned Jake received a extra fancy camera for Christmas? Well he did, thus he has been been more of the photographer for the family than I. So here are a few more pictures we have from earlier this year I would like to catch you up on. Oh I guess I should find Christmas and Tori Birthday pictures, maybe in a couple days.<br />

This guy made Jake and I laugh, he was every where we went, and he would walk around and around drinking wine picking up on different ladies ever night. I had to take a picture of him, but I didn't want to make it noticeable. But I think it was. After we took this picture he was dancing right by Jake and I till he saw a lady to hit on. </div>

I was in an unfortunate place in my life for a month or so. To make my self feel better we visited a bakery quite often. And every time the girls wanted thier picture taken with this baker. Silly girls</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then in April we had our traditional girls night while Jake went to the general conference priedthood meeting. This girls night was a bit more short lived than others being that we were visiting Jake's family that weekend.The girls didn't want to leave grandma's house and grandma and the other in-laws didn't want to leave the house. None the less we had fun enough and the tradition was fulfilled. We had ice cream, went shopping real quick, and ran around it the gusty wind, pretending to fly. </div>

The medium has change over the years. However, the desire to express our feeling to the ones we care about has not. That is exactly why I am writing this cheesy post. To let the one I care for know how much I love her this Valentines day. So if your gag reflex is suppressed and you have a box of tissues at hand, please read on.<br />
<br />
The thing that was so great about mix tapes was the amount of effort it took to create them. You knew that the person really liked you because it was such a pain in the butt to create a mix tape. I personally never made one for a girl, but I remember trying to make my own mix tapes. I would sit by the radio waiting for a certain song to play just so I could hit record button just in time only to have some annoy DJ talk over the intro.
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then came along the CD mixes. It was a lot easier to drag and drop some mp3's that I downloaded off Napster and burn a CD. I will admit that I have made a few CD mixes for different girls over the years and handed to them with my hands behind my back looking towards the ground slowly kicking at something that wasn't there shyly saying, "Hey I burnt you CD, I hope you like it."<br />
<br />
Now we have iPods and playlists to express our infatuation for the opposite sex. To be honest I don't even know how this works or if people even do this. Do you give them a jump drive with the songs on it? Or do you <strike>email</strike> Facebook them the list of songs? Maybe you take their iPod and add the playlist to it. I don't know.<br />
<br />
So I am at a loss. I don't have the time for a mix tape nor do I have the equipment to produce one. Not that my beautiful wife doesn't deserve something that takes the same amount of time and effort as it does to crank out a mix tape. I don't think a burnt CD will do my love for her justice either. I'm not even sure that the CD player is even hooked up in our car. A burnt CD just won't do Sylvia much good. I am confused as to how the playlist thing even works, so guess I will create my own thingy.<br />
<br />
Following the progression of radio to MTV and music videos. I thought I would try out the whole song compilation to express my love thingy with music videos from YouTube in a blog post (well some aren't actually music videos but its the thought that counts right?). I just hope next year the music videos in my post don't turn into pointless TV shows that have nothing to do with music and make people dumber if they watch them.<br />
<br />
Here it is:<br />
<br />
I still remember exactly where I was when this song was playing in my truck. It was at the roundabout by the Branbury Appartments in Provo. I was singing along with Sylvia in the passenger side. We had only been dating for a few short weeks. When it came to the chorus of the song that says, "Hey little girl oh I love you" I remember thinking to myself, "Hey I think I really do love this little girl sitting next to me."<br />

<br />
We were driving home from my parents property in Paris, Idaho. I leaned over to change my iPod to this song and took my eyes off the road. While doing so I drifted off the road and took out a mail box on the side of the road. The mail box smashed the rear view mirror into the passenger side window where my little girl friend (Sylvia) was sitting. Pieces of glass flew all over her which cut her up a little bit and scared the crap out of her. I felt so bad. She was so good about the whole thing. She hardly complained at all and almost immediately forgave me for being so stupid. Being so quick to forgive is one of my favorite qualities she possesses.<br />

<br />
We had been dating for couple months or so when Sylvia told me that she had lost a Mason Jennings CD that she really like. So I decided to surprise her one morning at work. I bought the before mentioned CD and put in my bumpin' stereo system in my black and red 65 mustang fastback. I pulled around back of the dry cleaner where she worked and turn her favorite song up as loud as it would go and waited until she came out.<br />

<br />
It was Sylvia 21st birthday and I really wanted to impress her with an over the top day that was perfect and memorable. Among the activities were watching a movie in the mountains on my laptop, serenading her with my guitar and vocals, long boarding down the canyon, dinner and shopping at Walmart. Like most of the other activities that day, my rendition didn't go that well. I forgot the lyrics and mess up the chords.<br />

<br />
I almost forgot but I actually did make a mix CD for Sylvia. I made one to play as background music while I proposed to her. The setting was the most romantic place on earth... Joe Morley's BBQ. My brother-in-law Nate set us up in the banquet room. I had a full spread of flowers and ribs. This is the song that was playing after I popped the question. Luckily Sylvia said yes and we slow dance to Tim McGraw. I don't think that I have ever told Sylvia this, but still to this day get a little teary eyed (just a little because I'm a manly man) when I hear this song and think of her.<br />

Theo, our dog, was the focus of the Christmas activity tonight. After dinner we went to neighborhood grocery store, and we picked out a few gifts for him. Tori was concerned about Theo's ability to unwrap his gifts, but was excited to hear that she would get to do the honors for him. I think Macy will have more fun squeaking the squeaky toy she picked out for Theo than he will. Then to top it off we had coco for a little bed time treat.Sylviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00465396129223073995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430879845028457659.post-5978247374034012492011-12-21T20:10:00.000-07:002011-12-21T20:10:57.954-07:00Christmas Oranges<br />

The plan for tonight was to make neighbor gifts. We were going to hand them out tonight as well, but we got a latter start than we planned. Oh well. Now we are hoping we don't freeze to badly when we go pass them out tomorrow.Sylviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00465396129223073995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430879845028457659.post-60246407668481379612011-12-18T07:41:00.002-07:002011-12-18T07:43:47.159-07:00The Shoes were Filled<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For the 17th of December we learned about Christmas celebrations from around the world for our activity. We used an advent calender from the December 2009 issue of the Friend. Then we tried out a couple of the celebrations we learned about.<br />
<br />
First we put candles up in our windows like people do in Ireland to show we would welcome Joseph and Mary in our home. Then we got balloons to and let them go in the night sky as an Argentine would do with a <span class="emphasis">globos</span> on Christmas Eve. We also had the girls put there shoes outside the door to be filled my St Nicholas like the children of Germany do on St. Nicholas Day.<br />
I am most likely going to continue a Christmas activity like this every year because I love my girls learning about different cultures. If you would like to try this activity out then you can find what I used <a href="http://lds.org/friend/2009/12/christmas-around-the-world?lang=eng">here</a>. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Christmas parties are great. Not only are they fun, but it
also makes our Christmas activity for the day a no brainier. I also like them
because I feel a bit cooler and liked when I am invited to one. Tonight our family was
invited to a party. So I felt cool, no pressure to plan something for an activity,
and was ready to have fun. However I read the invite wrong. Ugh. The
invite mentioned wearing your pajamas so we did. Of course it was a joke; I see
that now after my whole family showed up to a party dressed in night wear. Oh
my goodness I felt so ridiculous, but with the red neck tendencies I was able
to pull it off. LOL! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">My girls had a lot of fun with all the other children, and
enjoyed eating treats. Jake and I had a great time chit chatting, and laughing
with friends. Thanks for making me feel cool, Batemans, even in my PJs </span></div>
