Happy Birthday Jared

Okay so I know it is a little late because Jareds Birthday was on Friday...but my motto with two kids has been.  BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!  For Jareds birthday I got him a DVD and a plane ticket to Houston to go and stay with his sister Jenni.  She has lived there for three years in June and Jared has not been out to see her yet.  So back in like February her husband Eric called and told Jared that he needed to come out and go golfing for a weekend .  Jared told him no and so then I went ahead and got the ticket and surprised him.  He is so excited!  I put him on a scavenger hunt all over neighborhood to find out where he was going.  It was so fun and we both felt like little kids.  :)  His last clue led him to his favorite place...Happy Sumo.  We had dinner with my family and his.  It was fun to get together without kids.  It was actually a pretty peaceful night.  After dinner we went to Rocky Mountain Chocolote Factory and got a carmel apple.  Then we went and watched my niece do her solo at a competition at Timpview.  It was a fun day.  Anyway I just want to list a few reasons why I love my hubby!

*I love the way that no matter how hard he tries he can never get mad!

*I love the way he is with kids.

*I love that he lets me go to the movie at 9:30 on Friday night

*He is the best cuddler in the whole world.

*He has the softest lips...which makes his kisses the BEST!

*I love that he is so selfless and always putting me and the kids first.

*I love that he loves my crazy family.  

*He will never say no to a calling and is such a great example to me.

*I admire him that he actually enjoys school.

*I love that he lets me have girl night, work out night, and One Tree Hill Night!

*He always takes  me to the temple.

*I love that he lets me go to the latest 'party' (shoe, jewelry, bows..)even though he hates them.  *I love that we can talk forever and we say okay we are going to sleep now and 45 minutes later we are still in a full on conversation.

*This one is bittersweet for me...somehow someway Jared manages to get everything literally free!  Which is a good thing but somehow I don't have the same manipulative skills and so everything I do is costs money!  So ya i still love him for his persuasive skills with sales people and family and whoever else he can fanangle!  :)

*He is not only my husband but my best friend!

*He totally tolerates my diet pepsi with a lime in a styrofoam cup with crushed ice habit!

*In the end I just love him more than anything.  He is my perfect match and we have had an amazing four years and I can't wait to see what else the future holds for us.  I love you babe!

Okay so we to Jumpin Jacks a couple times in the past few weeks! Boston absolutely loves it! It is the best bribe! He loves to go down the huge slides that are meant for like six year olds. He is my wild man. However, Lillie absolutely hates it. The minute I put her on the bouncy stuff she freaks out. It is crazy. Even if I am standing on it with her she freaks out. She is going to be my reserved child! And believe I need one like that cuz Boston puts me over the edge most days!! :) We are getting way excited for Spring/Summer. We are getting ready to finish our backyard. I can't believe how expensive everything is. Anyway...until next time. I hope everything is going well for everyone!

Jumpin Jacks :)

The Best Wife!

I know that most of you probably won't really want to read this mushy stuff, but I wanted to tell my wife Katie that she is the best! I love her so much and I know that sometimes I am pretty lame and do and say stupid things. Anyway, this post if for Kate the best wife in the world! Love you!

Jared

p.s. Isn't she so cute?!?

PoTtY tRaInInG..........

I think if all I put was the title and the pictures everyone would understand what I have been doing for the last few week.  Overall it has not been that bad.  The only bad part is in one day Boston will tell me he needs to go potty 30 times and of those 30 he only goes maybe 4.  So it has been a lot of time on the pot!  :)  He is getting really excited to go because I went to the dollar store and bought a bunch of toys and stickers and books and put them in a bag above the toilet so whenever he goes potty he gets to pick a prize!  That is totally working for us and also getting underwear with characters he likes!   I hope by the end of March he is totally potty trained!  That is my goal...but I am not sure if it is his.  If he is potty trained and Lillie gets off formula at the end of March then me and jared will have like an extra $100 to play with every month.  Or as Jared would say...to SAVE!!!  So wish us LUCK!  :)  :)

Oh and the first picture of Boston reading the book on the toilet...all I can say is they start young!!!  LOL

Okay! So I really do not know much about 'blogging' but I want to stay better in touch with everyone and so here we go! The Auger family now resides in the beautiful city of Salem! We absolutely love it here. Except for the fact that we don't have a grocery store. Hopefully one is coming soon... I am pretty much a stay at home mom. I do work two days a week for a total of 10 hours at Heart N Soul! Which I love! It gets me out of the house and lets me interact with adults! Boston and Lillie are getting so big. I can not believe that Lillie is almost one! Jared works full time at Young Living. He really likes it for the most part. We are going back to school in fall '09 at BYU so Jared can get his MBA! We are pretty excited for him. Go Jared! LOL Okay so here are some random picture of stuff over the last few years. I will be better about adding things as the events come.
