The Welcher Kids ( T R O U B L E )

Braiden and Javen

Family picture 2009

It takes so long to get us all together and then it is another chore to get everyone looking at the camera at the same time. Kelsey is 15 and Jacee is 13 and all they care about is boys and friends like all teenage girls. Braiden is 3 and is always full of energy like I am, Javen is just like his dad, needs his sleep, and it is his way or the highway, they are all so different it amazes me.

My babies

Braiden reading to Grandpa

Grandpa Morris injured his hands so he was staying with us for a week, and bubba would climb up next to him and read him bedtime stories.

Jenni turned 28

This year my wonderful brother took me to the Brad Paisley Concert at Usana Amphitheater, it was such a great night, got a little drunk, but that is okay. Billy stayed home with the kids and my best friend Stevee and her boyfriend joined us, after the concert we went to a West Valley Billiards and Josh did karaoke, it was a night I will always remember.

Billy turned 35

Braiden 3, Donnovan 3, and Javen 1 Birthday Party

This year we had a HUGE birthday bash for all of the boys since they are all so close together, it worked out great, we rented a bounce house, which kept all the kids occupied. We had all the families together, in laws and ex's and it worked out really good, there was a bunch of presents for the kids and no fighting they all were content with what they had.

Summer Fun

This year we bought some waverunners, and we spent every spare miniute we had at the lake's, we went to Utah lake, and Mona lake mostly. We had so much fun as a family, the boys are happy as long as there is dirt and trucks, they are quiet for hours LOL.

Braiden's Swimming Lessons

Braiden went to swimming lessons this summer at Kearns pool, it was cheap and they do such a good job, he graduated "tots 1" and next summer he will go into "tots 2". He will dunk his head under water now and holds his breath, he can swim with help but not by himself. He loved going to his swimming lessons he aslo had a crush on his teacher Ashley.

Braiden update

Braiden is really into trucks, tractors, and Diesel trucks. While we were in Nephi, Billy's uncle happened to show up in his diesel truck, bubba was so excited. Scott let him drive the truck around Nephi and honk the horn, he talked about it for weeks. Braiden is in the process of potty training it is not going as well as I would like but I was told not to force the issue.

Braiden can say his whole ABC's and really enjoys to read, he gets 3 bedtime stories a night, he is such a smart kid.

Javen Walking

Ok so it has been a long time since I blogged, so I am going to update everyone. Javen started walking on 6/23/2009 which is just before his 1st birthday, and now he runs everywhere. He has all, and yes I mean all of his teeth, He does not like to talk much, his first word was Daddy of course, then mommy, then bubba (his brother) but he is not really interested in talking, he just points and goes uh and someone (not mommy) gets what ever he needs, so I guess he feels like there is no need to talk. He loves playing with his brother, they are so close it is amazing the love that they share.

Texas Hold'em Party

Billy, me, and my parents found a new love and another reason to throw a party, We had about 13 players to start with and we started at 7:30pm it ended at 1:30 am it was a long night but fun, Kyle ended up winning the $75.00 pot, we all payed $5.00 to start it was a nice pot to win. I was about the 4th person out Billy is not good to play next too because he knows when I am bluffing which makes it hard for me to win. ( everyone who knows me, knows it is hard for me to lie) so this game is hard for me to play. LOL

Bowling @ Fats Cats

This is my boys bowling at fat cats

More of my little Angels...........These boys are my world, Thay make me so proud to be a mom

Javen is now 9 months old

Javen (bug) is now 9 months old and growing like a weed, He now has 7 teeth, 4 on the top and 3 on the bottom, he crawls so fast and stands up on everything he is just about walking, He now weighs 20.17 lbs, 27.56 inches tall, and his HC is 17.9, he jumped from the 17 % to the 36 % in weight which means he is going to outgrow his brother LOL.

My Brother is here.....

My brother Josh moved down here from Mississippi, I have not seen him in 6 years It is so nice to have him back with me.

Visiting the Easter Bunny 2009

Braiden and Javen visiting the Easter bunny at South Towne Mall, as you can see they did not like him at all, Braiden was so mad that I made him sit on his lap, They loved santa so I was not expecting this type of a reaction, but it sure made a good picture LOL

Easter 2009

This Easter was a little bitter sweet, we lost our Uncle Mike on the 9th of April so the viewing was Easter night so we had to be in Nephi at 3:00 to get everything ready, so Easter morning the boys woke up to there easter baskets and new outfits so we got ready and went to Grandma's and Grandpa's for a Easter egg hunt and breakfast, Braiden and jacee looked for eggs but Kelsey is too old to do that now so she went downstairs and took a nap with my sister Shelby. Braiden had a blast he loved looking for eggs and did better then we thought he would, he actually found all the eggs with money in them so we split the money evenly between the kids.

Uncle Mikes Funeral in Nephi

Remebering my Uncle Mike

Our Uncle Mike Fashion passed away on April 9,2009 at Jordan Valley Hospital. He was a such a wonderful person with a heart of gold, he would give you the shirt if his back if you needed it. He was such a great person he will be deeply missed. I Love You very much........

Javen getting messy

I know I post alot of the messy faces, but I love them. This was a chocolate cookie.
