"I'm done having babies, so........can I borrow yours?"

I have to give a big pat on the back to my friend Char, for sticking through with me and not turning me in to CPS (child protection services) or the police for that matter, because of my obsession with her baby Bennett and all of the rest of her cute kids.

Ever since I spotted that cute little bundle of blue-eyed baldness my heart hasn't stopped beating for him. I think it is safe to say that we both have a little thing for eachother. I can't keep away from him and I am pretty sure he digs me too. Afterall the kids first true laugh was with me (correct me if I'm wrong, Char) and he will sometimes laugh when he sees me and will even cry when i have to leave. (I can't tell you how much that breaks my heart)

-Baby Bennett-

Can you blame me? come on, just look at his cuteness!

It all started when he was first born........I would see this little darling bundle of joy at church and wanted to hold and kiss and snuggle his little cheeks right off, but never could because I was battling Chase, Jett and Jagger.

Oh how I longed to hold that little guy and play with him...............

Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. It was a Sunday evening. Me and James were sitting around not doing much and i wanted so badly to hold the baby!!!!! But, how exactly do you go about doing that. I mean borrowing an egg or a cup of flour from your neighbor is one thing, but come on,............... a kid?!?!?!



Besides, I wasn't sure how Char would take it. I had met Char and gotten to know her mostly because my son Chase and her son Keller had become pretty tight little buddies. (P.S. I love and am obsessed with that little guy too) I hadn't actually hung out, at least, officially, with Char yet, so I wasn't quite sure if she would be comfortable "lending" me her baby. You know?

Anyways, my desire to hold him and kiss those sweet little cheeks got to the best of me and before I knew it I found myself meandering on over across the street towards Char's house. I was now knocking on the door! What am I going to say?


"Oh hi Char, nice weather tonight, huh???, by the way, I was just wondering if I could borrow your kid for a couple of hours because I am an obsessed Psycho-path?!?!?!?!"

So i got to her house and knocked on the door

Char answers the door: "Oh, hi Jami, what's going on?"

Jami: "Hey Char, how are ya?"

Char: "Good"

Jami: "Cool"

(a bit of awkward silence)

Jami: "So, what time does Bennett go down for bed?"

Char: "Around Ten."

Jami: "Cool,.............................................................................. can I hold him?"

Char: "Sure, here ya go" (hands me baby)

(again, a bit of awkward silence as i try to get the courage to ask if I can borrow the baby)

Jami: "So can i like hold him for a while, like, at my house. Like maybe......"babysit" him for a few hours?"(i'm pretty sure I had a huge cheesy grin while saying this)

Char: "Are you asking if you can borrow my baby?!?!?!"

Jami: "Yeah, pretty much"

Char: "Of course!" (as she laughs at the thought)

I grab Bennett and walk back to my house relieved at how chill Char was about it and how easy that really was (Thanks Char). I walk in the front door, James asks me where I went, he looks up and sees I have Baby Bennett.

James: "Oh Please tell me you did not just borrow the neighbor's baby?!?!?!"

and that folks, is how my relationship with baby Bennett officially started.

Now i have no hesitation at all to borrow him, in fact it is safe to say it has become a Sunday night tradition. I get to hold him in Sunday School, sometimes even a little bit during sacrament if my kids are behaving, and around 8:30 p.m. until about 9:30 p.m. on Sunday evening. I love that little guy, along with all of the Coester kids.

Keller feels practically like he is mine and I find myself missing him when he hasn't been around for a while (which really amounts to a whopping 2-3 days). I'll have him come over without Chase even knowing that I invited him over for Chase to play with him. I can't get enough of his mild, sweet temperament, and silly giggle, along with his cute little talk.

Campbell, is Char's other son, whom i had the joy of teaching in nursery. He has my heart in his hand too. After nursery would get over i would confess to Char that after a quick lesson about Jesus, I pretty much made-out with her kid! I can't quit hugging and kissing those sweet little chubby cheeks!

Macy is a doll too. She is Char's only daughter. She will come over and entertain the twins, who are completely taken with her, by the way! We like to turn on "Hairspray" and dance to the song, "Without love". She makes me wish I had a girl.

My other kids

-Cambell, Macy (holding Bennett) & Keller-

Yes, I do indeed love all of those kids, and my boys love them too! I still hold true to my word, Char, that if something ever happened to you and Brian, I would gladly, willingly and lovingly be their "God- Mom" and adopt all four of them as my own. So, put it in the will. In the meantime, I guess I will just have to continue borrowing them.

One more week left.....

If you want to keep to tabs on me and my fam, you best be leavin' your e-mail, cause I am going private in approximately 6 days and 12 hours.......

fat is back

It's been too long since we've heard from Bob, hasn't it? I am still the same, (#@%$ IT !!!!!!) I flucuate between 146 and 150. I am sucking right now at will power and motivation, but am profusely trying to re-motivate myself. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Son of a BiScUiT!!!!! I hate Weight-Loss, it can Kiss it! Anyways, I am at a loss for words here. Don't know what else to say except that I am a big Fatty Loser, who is 15 pounds from her goal and can't seem to do it. Someone shoot me please!!!!!

My man is back on the big screen

I'd like to welcome back Daniel Craig to the big screen, of course playing an impecably wonderful interpretation of James Bond in his new Bond movie, "Quantum of Sollace", due out November 14th. I promise you I will be front and center in the theater on opening night with my Diet Coke, Popcorn and Drool rag by my side. Can't wait!!!! "Keep em' coming, Mr. Craig, keep em' coming."

"Good-Bye Democracy, Hello Socialism."

Barrack Obama is our new President as you all well know. All I am going to say is this, Jesus is now for sure well on His way to usher in His second Coming, and if I wanted to live in a socialistic government, I'd move to Canada or Finland. Everybody pray for our leaders.

I will say this, I think it is great to see an African American in the White House. I am not in-love with John McCain by any means either. I guess when I voted, it wasn't so much who I liked more, rather than who i felt was the less evil out of the two.

I hope he does a good job.



P.S.
Dear Oprah,
Thanks for endorsing Obama and for all of the tax money you will be paying to the country with the new policy that citizens who make 200k plus will be taxed heaftier than those who don't. "SuCkEr !!!!" What were you thinking?

going private

i will be going private. if you would like to read my blog still leave your e-mail address and i will add you as a reader.

Keelee tagged me to put the fourth picture in the fourth folder of my picture files and tell about it. Here it is:

This is a picture of my twins when they were probably 4 months old. We went to visit Sam's (Keelee's, Dad's wife) horse, Rockstar! As you can tell I think, Jett was a bit intimidated by the enormous horse. But it was a fun day!

I tag Char, Lindsey Kemmethmueller, Sara Coombs, Lizz

"What happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas!" (does that mean all of those cute little desserts I ate at the buffet, didn't really count?)

Keelee, Tiffany, Liz, Brooke, Cat, and Me.

I had a lovely opportunity to join some of my friends, (old and new) on a girl's weekend trip to Las Vegas. I had such a great time. We ate, shopped, laughed, talked, slept in, stayed up late and enjoyed each other's company.




We flew out on Friday the 26th and came back Monday the 29th. It was a fun time and I am so glad I got to hang out with some great girls. Tiff, Cat, Liz, Brooke, and Kee, you guys are AwEsOmE. Love you all, let's do it again next year!

Me, Tiff and Kee out to lunch

Cat, Brooke, and Liz

One of the greatest reason we go to Buffets....the desserts!

I am pretty sure Brooke and Keelee were a little excited about the desserts

Especially, Keelee

But then again I guess you could say we ALL got a bit carried away,

oh well, that is why God created Gyms, right?

One of the best reasons to visit Vegas is to shop at the MAC Pro store

where I finally bought my red lipstick. Me, Cat and Tiff had a blast here trying on and playing around with make-up.

We had to get a pic with the make-up artist who helped us pick out our make-up

Liz looked so HOT for a night out on

the town and to see the theatrical production of Mamma Mia.

Me and Keelee went to see a movie and dinner while the rest of the girls went to Mamma Mia.

Keelee was bored so she decided to stop by the Paul Mitchell Salon and chop off her hair.

She looked Adoreble! (can you tell she was getting a bit nervous at this point, check out thhe look on her face)

Finished Product (I love it Short)

Quick words and fun memories that you will only get, if you were there;

• "Wow, look who is on the plane".
• "Cat, I love you, are you sure you completed driver's ed?"
• It is okay to put , fuzzy Edamame in your mouth.
• How many girls and how much luggage can you fit in a PT Cruiser?
• Brooke, you are going to love Mamma Mia!!!!!
• Steve Wyrick is the all time greatest magician that Jami has ever seen. She loved the show!!
• Does it really feel good to pull hair out of interesting places?
• I need to work on being kind to greasy, old, grey haired pedofiles, who are trying to pick up on me.
• "I have a dream, a song to sing..........." (Jami's singing, girls, you know you are going to miss that)
• Nights of Rodanthe (whatever it is called) the new movie with Richard Gere is not, "Knights of Rodanthe" which means it is not a movie that takes palce in the 1600's and is not a epic war/love story. You will however, bawl your eyeballs out and look like a complete idiot doing it!
• remember where you parked the car
• always carry around cash in case your shoe breaks and you have to buy a new one
• Red lipstick looks hot on EvErYoNe, including you Tiff!!!
• Vegas girls need to learn that shirts aren't menat to be worn as a dress and that it is not okay to show your bumb cheeks or breasts.
• Be on time to check-in
• Don't eat mexican food for dinner and then share a bed with Jami
• Bring plenty of clothes in case we are stuck in Vegas for the month.
• You can never shop too much

If you think of any more, please do share!
