Hamilton family update

2009-03-28T18:23:00.000-07:00

Well it has been forever since I have updated this thing. I know I am completely lame, but since the death of my beloved computer and all my pics I have spent little to no time on the computer. And I don't want to add pictures to this computer as I fear this one is on it's last leg as well. Oh well! My mom is getting on me for not updating so here I am, limited pics and all.

Things are going well here in the Hamilton home, we finally sold out rental home which was for sale for a year. We were so sick of renting it out and the renters trashing it, we were constantly having to fix things and redo the yard..... Also our rental agency was horrible... So a year of two mortgages is finally over.. (As Sam would say) Hip-Hip- Hooray!

As for me most know that I am pregnant again. I am 15 weeks and finally over the nausea! I felt like it would never end. This has been a very weird pregnancy, very different then any of the other 3. All and all things there are going well, and I am getting more and more excited to have this baby here. The kids couldn't be more excited and that is so fun for me. I am still learning the Piano but since I have been pregnant I have been working on it far less, hopefully I can get back into full swing.

Jared's company is doing great. He is working from home now which is so wonderful. I don't know if he can ever go back to a convention job after this. It is fun to see him with the kids, before he was never home he left before the kids were up and was home after bed. But now it is so fun to see them play. He is just a big kid, and Lucas told me that dad is a secret clown. "for reals." Because clown are the only ones that funny. He is traveling a lot but I think he loves it, I am sure he missed the guys. He is also graduating for Babson college in July. He is in an automotive masters program, and loves it. He really is awesome with all the things he can do.

Lucas is doing so great is school, he really growing up! He is reading so well and his teacher says he is reading above his grade level. He is really enjoying the Wii, his favorite game is Mario Cart especially when he gets to play with Grandma Carol. (that is if her internet is working...MOM) He used to play on the bees baseball team and he is hoping to do that again this spring.

Samantha is doing great in preschool. She is a social butterfly and is always switching boyfriends. She has learned all her letters and sounds and she too is anxious to read. She is always trying to read with Lucas. Her interpretation is sometimes better then the real thing. Right now her love interests fluctuate between Coulter and Noah sometimes she like Jameson. I think it is hilarious that she like boys already. Boy am I in trouble. She is also taking dance and she is loving it. It is a perfect for her.

Tyler is potty training and doing great. About two weeks ago I decided he was ready because he was always asking me to go potty. Although he never did. I went to the store and got a bag of candy but aside from going potty in the morning nothing worked. So about 4 days ago I got a bag of suckers. (his favorite) and since then he has had almost no accidents. I think he had one the first 2 days but the last two nothing.. Even pooping he will do, he is just wearing underwear, it is so exciting. I am sure his teeth will be rotted soon, but oh well it is for a good cause. He is talking up as storm and is always the life of the party.

Well that is about all i can write about and about all any of you want to read.. So for now we miss you all and I hope to be better update in the future. I will get on Jareds computer later and upload some pics.

First Snow

2008-11-15T22:44:00.000-08:00

We had the first snow of the year, and the kids had a blast. Samantha was digging tunnels with here head, Tyler was more interested in eating the snow then playing in it, and Luc was a crazy man, he couldn't get enough. Here is a video of a snowball fight with dad.

Halloween and Tys bday

2008-11-15T22:30:00.000-08:00

Halloween was a great day. Grandma Carol and papa came down, and we went to breakfast, carved pumpkins, went trick-or-treating and of course birthday stuff. Ty loved his spiderman cake way more then anything else. He was always mad trick or treating because the people would put the candy in his bag and not in his hand. He just wanted to eat it.. It was pretty funny, he didn't last long.

Lucas in the circus

2008-11-15T18:17:00.001-08:00

Lucas was one of the lions in the kindergarten circus. He was a riot.. And he had a blast, GG (great grandma Donna) came to watch and that made Lucas' day. His lion suit was a little short, but I was desperate, I ended up buying it on Ksl.com, it is surprisingly hard to find a lion costume in a bigger size then 4. When I got there I realized he could have worn anything with the mask. Oh well! Sam and Ty have a blast with the costume.

Pumpkin Patch

Here are some pics of the kids at the pumpkin patch. Everyone had a good time, well except for maybe Ty he hated it. the picture below shows that.

My LITTLE Girl!

2008-10-13T22:31:00.000-07:00

Samantha is very small for her age, cute and petite perfect in every way. Sam has been very interested in baby pictures lately and she especially loves her baby blessing ones. She says "that's me mommy, in a beautiful dress." So today I asked her is she wanted to see the dress. She was so excited when I pulled it out she desperately wanted to wear it. So I said sweetie it is to small...... And she insisted on "Just trying." So i let her and can you believe it, it fits. I can even button it, of course it is short and a little tight on the arms. I believe it is a 3-6 month. Funny huh? Tyler who is 17 months younger whieghs more and is about the same height. I love it about her, I just find it so funny.

This is just for fun isnt she quite the princesss. ( i have no idea why it is writing thi s like a link.. Sorry)

Sami's dress

2008-10-08T08:16:00.000-07:00

Here is the dress I refered to earlier. She has worn every day since she got it and she cries when I have to wash it. Good pick NANA!

Wheeler Farm

2008-10-08T08:04:00.000-07:00

So we went to Wheeler Farm Yesterday with M'lisa and the kids. It was so fun the weather was beautiful and it wore the kids out. Here is Sam and Tyler at the chicken coup, Sam put her finger in to touch the chicken and they pecked at her. So of course Tyler is curious why sam is crying so he proceeds to do the same. Smart I know! And he of course gets he finger in a chickens beak and is screaming too. It was real fun! Lucas feeding a horse, this is big for him, animals are not his thing.
This is Jordan Luc's friend literally trying to hit the chickens with the sword saying "no pecking Chickens" over and over again. It was very funny.
Ty and Dallin loved the rabbits..

More pics of the Farm

Here is Sam just being cute at the horse stable This Coulter Sam's little boyfriend. They get married everytime they play and they "Love eachother." According to them and he calls her his princess. Isn't that adorable, wouldn't this look great in thier wedding slideshow?
As said previously, Spiderman is a big part of our lives, this kids would not take a normal pictured they had to be spiderman's. Oh well they are adorable.
Lucas the Farmer
Ever since Nana gave sam a beautiful Ballerina dress, Sam has turned into a ballerina. Great form don't you think? Haha!

New York/Boston

2008-10-08T07:42:00.000-07:00

As many know Jared goes to school out in Boston every 6 weeks, and this time Jared's brothers met him out in New York a couple of days before to have a bachelor weekend for Paul. They went out their primarily for the Yankees game! But on the way they ran into the friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Tyler was so excited. As most know Tyler is his number one fan! Here is the guys at yankee stadium just 2 days before it closed its doors.

This is Jareds Carnagie Deli sandwich. Can you believe that is the bread on the top. A little rediculous if you ask me. But i guess for men the more meat the better, right?

Jared had a busy trip when he got back to Boston, he and his school buddies went to a Patriots game against the dolphins. (Which by the way they got thier butts whipped). And a couple of days later they went to a sox game. (is that the team in boston? I have no idea) but I dont have any pics of that. But seriously what a lucky bum!
This is school building on campus. Pretty huh!

The Main NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!!!!

2008-10-06T20:26:00.000-07:00

So the whole reason we chose Chicago for the trip was for the NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK CONCERT!!!!!!!! And it was so Awesome, really it was so fun. Natasha Beddingfield opened for them and she was great. And the new kids were even better, not only was Joey still HOT! They did some awesome 80/90's dances. It was so fun, the auditorium was filled with 20-30 year old modestly dressed women screaming and acting like 12 year olds. It was seriously so cool. We were right there with them . We snuck in "I love Joey... and our Husbands" sign and it was our good luck charm. We had about the crappiest seats in the house, we were behind the stage. (I guess it was good we had a concert filled with nice butts HAHA). Anyway at one point Joey was on the side of the stage by us and we were seated by the rail and so I grabbed the sign and stood at the rail and yelled " J-o-e-y!!!! woooo!!! Over here!! ETC..." seriously I did that, I know lame! And he looked over at me and blew me a kiss!! Can you believe it:) So of course I turned around the the girls and screamed " Oh my gosh Joey just blew me a kiss, AHHHh!" I am still not sure where that came from. So then Erica came and grabbed the sign and he turned to her and pointed and waved. She was equally as lame as me with her reaction, it was perfect. It was incredible.. The whole trip was great, lame as it sounds being with Erica again was the best part... It a great trip!
This picture was about the time he blew me my kiss!! I could have died and gone to heaven then! HAHA

Weekend Continued!

2008-10-06T19:58:00.000-07:00

I totally did this in the wrong order oh well! So after Oprah and Wicked we went back to get our rental car, only to find, No car. I was a wreck it was a good thing Erica stayed calm, cause she got a hold of the right person and found out our car had been towed. It was awful the police order said there was a sign that said no parking from 9/29- 10/03 and it was the 2nd. There was no such sign so we fought it and had a court date the next day. Above is the real sign.

We went to court and I won!!! WHOOHOO! The lady in front of us was fighting a tow the same day and place. According to the judge it was a trend that day.

The next days were spent shopping and seeing the sights! Like Millennium Park, deep dish pizza, the Michigan street..... Here are some pics.

My Girls Weekend Away In Chicago!

2008-10-06T19:28:00.000-07:00

So my BFF (as erica likes to say) Erica and I went to Chicago this weekend for a girls weekend off. It was so fun. We hadn't seen each other for years and had not really hung out as girls since high school. It was so fun, one of the highlights for me was the night I got there. I arrived at about midnight Wed. and Erica and I stayed up and talked and laughed until 4:15 in the morning. We had to be quiet because ericas friends had a little kids sleeping. BUt we laughed so hard sometimes I seriously cried. It was great, and a great start for the weekend. Although we were so tired the next day.

OPRAH!

The next day was oprah! My friend M'lisa Hooked us up with tickets to Oprah, which by the way are almost impossible to get. Our show was on how to spice up your sex life. Erica and I were very tired and hungry but still we enjoyed the show and we laughed alot about how these people actually volunteered to be on this show. ( you will have to watch and you will know what I am talking about) . We don't know the air date yet I will keep you posted on that. here are some pics.

We had such luck this weekend, not only with the Oprah tickets, but that night we went to wicked and put our name in a ruffle for 25$ tickets. Erica got her name pulled and we got tickets. YAY! WE had terrible seats at first, but we moved 10 minutes into the show to awesome seats. The show was even better then I could have imagined, I seriously was bawling by the end of the show. WOW was all I can say.

1st day of Kindergarten and preschool

2008-09-17T20:00:00.001-07:00

2008-09-17T20:00:00.000-07:00

Well Here we Are a year later and what this is my second post. Lets see if I can do better then once a year this year. Any how a LOT has changed this year.

Jared quit his job and decided it was time to work on his own company full time. Things are going well for him, very busy and sometimes stressful but good. We see him much more which is huge. Right now he is going to school at babson College, automotive marketing (or something.) All of which keep him on his toes.
Tyler is talking, jumping, throwing, singing, dancing and everything in between. He is our little athlete and jokester. He keeps all of us laughing.
Samantha started pre-school this year, and she has turned into the sweetest little girl. The terrible 2's are gone, and the wonderful 3's are here. Sam loves art she is a coloring Champ. She could cut, color and draw for hours.
Lucas started Kindergarten, crazy huh! He learned to ski this winter and to ride his bike with no training wheels. He has also learned to read and loves to learn and write little books.
As for me, nothing much changes. I was nanny 3 kids early spring which was crazy and fun. My kids always had a play date as all the kids are the same ages as mine. And out of It i made a great friend. That is ended this summer and we had a fun filled summer of trips and family reunions. I have been teaching my self the piano which has been a huge stress reliever. I have recently began lessons from my grandma, and that has been a lot of fun. Anyways that is about all.

2007-10-07T22:13:00.000-07:00

This is for you Hiedi and Lindsey!!!!

PRICE IS RIGHT!

Heidi, Paul, Lindsey, and I went to price is right to see Bob Barker. It was so fun, I am so glad that we made the trip. We had to sleep on the street and stay there all day but it was so worth it. It was almost as much fun trying to get into the show as going to the show. Anyway here are some fun pics of the trip.

2007-10-07T21:49:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics of us at the beach. Now that we dont live in Cali we miss the beach so much. Not that we got there a ton when we lived there but at least it was minutes away. Hopefully we will be back to visit soon.

We re-did our kitchen this summer and we are so excited to have it all done. Jareds brother paul did the work and did a great job. We finally have it almost all put together, with the exception of needing to replace a number of things that broke in the process or that we threw away. But if you know me, you know I hate to spend money so I am dragging my feet on that part. Anyway here are a few before and after pics.

2007-10-07T21:45:00.000-07:00

My mom and dad went to tahiti and brought the kids back some adorable outfits. It is a bummer it is getting cold so they wont get too much more use out of them.

2007-09-30T17:34:00.000-07:00

Well I am not so good with keeping in touch and people updated. Hopefully having this blog will help me do that. Right now we are currently living in Sandy, UT. Our three children are Lucas; 4, Samantha; 2 and Tyler; 1 in October. \

The kids are so much fun and are great at keeping me on my toes. Lucas is going to pre-school right now, it is so much fun to watch him learning. He is like a little sponge, and his speech is improving everyday. Samantha just started a dance class and is still trying to warm up to that, but she loves going. Tyler is taking his first tenative steps, He is up to 6 steps at once. We are so proud of all the kids. They seriously get more cute and more smart everday!

Jared is working hard with his start-up companies and is busy traveling and filming for his documentary! Things should slow down soon as the documentary will start being put together rather then adding footage. He has had a great response to this and has been asked to be a key note speaker at the AAISP (Association of Automotive Internet Sales Professionals) and will be doing that On October 1-3! He has his name and Bio up, this is the link, feel free to check it out.

As for me not much is new, I am busy with the kids and feel very blessed that I am able to stay home with them. This summer has been a very fun but busy one and I am looking forward to life slowing down. Although it is getting colder and that i am not looking forward too. It actually snowed yesterday! YIkes it is still september.

Anyway there is a short little update. I will do more soon.. We miss you all!
