Prescott

Such a cute little family!!!! We are on our way through the rocks to the water hole!!! Jaxson was ready for the adventure and Mya just wanted to be wrapped up and held because it was really windy!

Catching up!!!

Well I cannot figure how to put all of these in order, so I will follow them and catch you up.

Jaxson at Pump it Up!!!

He was crazy and kept sliding so fast he slid right off the thing. My sister and I did the slide also and realized they had just shined it up and we slid off a couple times too. What a sight that was!!!



























Mya and mom at pump it up!! She had a great time and could do almost all of the things by herself. She even made a friend who was about 7 who helped her down the slide a couple of times. It was kinda weird, but I was tired of climbing that slide and she was a nice girl.











Next a pic of Jaxson's basketball. He had a great coach, his dad and learned a lot. He was the pass in guy, because he could not make a basket until finally the last practice he did it and made 11 shots!!!! He was so proud as well as his happy dad.











Here is my sweet sister and my grandpa. We try to go to lunch with him a couple times a month. He loves to see the kids and have some special time with us also. We went to Carlos O Brien which is a family favorite and we have great memories of going there with our grandma too.













Jaxson and Mya at the fire station. Jaxson had a field trip and we were invited too! They loved it and especially thought the hats were super cool. Mya loves to be big like her brother, but was afraid to go up in the truck.










Here is the handsome boy after a hard day at preschool. He had safety day and they had to do their phone number. He already had his memorized and did a great job. He is all ready for Kindergarten and talks about it all the time. I on the other hand cannot believe he is going to be gone all day everyday and will take some real adjustment.

All of the kids Jaxson, Mya, Sydni, and Kennedi for a fun day at their Bobba's park. It was a great day with awesome weather and they had a awesome time. Mya was even decked out with all of her beads and a dress to boot!!!!

A trip to the bowling ally while Kennedi was visiting. Jaxson got his first striker!!!! He was a proud little guy. The kids did better than the mom's, granted they had bumpers and we didn't. It was a fun night for all!!!

A Getaway!!!

Well this last weekend my great husband talked me into going up to Prescott. I have still been feeling horrible and he thought that would cheer me up. Well going out of town is still a lot of work especially with kids, and maybe that is why I was a little hesitant. Well we got all packed and made arrangements for Sunday and were off. We also had an great idea to go up the back way through wickenberg. Now the drive is so curvy and my husband thinks he is a race car driver, so needless to say I was very carsick and we will never have that idea to go that way again!!!

We got there and it was a little chilly and we put on our jackets, the kids roamed on the deck and went to collect fire wood. Adam started a fire and then my sister and her family got there. We made homemade pizza and the kids thought is was awesome to put whatever toppings on that they wanted. It was a big hit!!! However we had to improvise because the oven wasn't working so we cooked them on the grill. Great job to Elliot!!! We slept great all cozy and had a great day the next day.

The dad's took the kids on a walk down to the creek while the mom's relaxed. We had no plans and that is what made the trip!!

The next day we cleaned up the cabin and took the kids to the water hole. My sister and I tried to tell the kids about all of our fond memories growing up and rock jumping into the water and spending time with our cousins. I hope they can gain the same great memories.

Jaxson hasn't stopped talking about the rocks and all the climbing he did.

We came home in plenty of time to enjoy and rest for the evening.

Thanks babe for a good and very needed getaway!!

I'll post some of the pics when I can.

So many of you have heard of these little creatures joining our family. It was a big surprise to the kids and I. Adam came home from "getting a movie" and had been gone over an hour. I was getting restless at home on a quiet Saturday because I was exhausted and throwing up and needed a nap and he wasn't home quick like he said.

Well needless to say no nap was heard of that day. He came to the window of the backyard and wanted us to come and see the surprise. I was thinking a new yard thing for the kids to play on. I then saw two yard things that they could actually ride on!!! I was in shock and kinda mad I wasn't in on this decision. He was so excited and grinning ear to ear. He had them ordered 3 weeks ago from the pet store down the street and couldn't stop smiling.

So now that " Lil and Phil" have been in our family for a couple weeks now, life is a little messy. They aren't caged so their droppings are all over the place. Not my duty, Adam is their primary owner so he is over the clean up. One of them is really tame and lets the kids pet her, and has come into the house a couple times!!!! I was not a big fan of that at all!!

Well there is always exciting events and change at our home. Feel free to come to the kobel petting zoo whenever.

A little Sick!!!

Sorry for the long lapse!!! Yes we are pregnant and I have been very ill!! Hopefully this to shall pass, and I can get back to a clean house and happy kids. I am due Sept 14th and the plan is not to find out what we are having. I can stick to it, however I think Adam might cave. He doesn't like surprises that much. Jaxson and Mya both went to the first ultrasound and Jaxson was thrilled!!! He said " It is a brother mom because I was first!" He thinks that it will alternate boy girl boy girl. It everyone had that luck!! He is my sweet boy and I would love to have another.
I just can't believe how long you are pregnant for. I did one of those astrology things and it says 190 days. That seems like forever, but hopefully it fly's by. I love being a mom and It is something I am so grateful to have the honor to do. The trial of getting so sick is worth it in the long run, I just need to keep reminding myself of that.
Todays list to get done are
Costco- we have nothing!!!
Clean-if stomach permits
Make dinner-if I tolerate
Nap-big necessity

Adam

Here is my sweet Adam !! I forgot to put a pic on the last post!!

Tagged!!!

So I have been tagged by my good friend Adrienne in El Paso and she want some inside info on the Kobel's.
Well here we go....
What is your husband's name?
It is Adam Michael Kobel. That is how Jaxson got Adam as his middle name.


How long have you been married?
Well it will be 8 great years on March 3rd

How long did you date? We met on Halloween and were engaged at Christmas and married in March, we don't mess around!!!

How old is he? 29 his birthday is on August and he will be the big 30!!!

Who eats more? Well I think he does at a sitting, but I am one to snack throughout the day, so we might even out.

Who said I love you first? He did in front of my house on our 10th date.

Who is taller? He is about 5 10 and I am 5 1.

Who sings better? We probably are about equal, but He likes to sing harmony a lot so you can usually hear him more. He is also the music man, DJ, "who knows the lyrics" kind of guy and I am definitly not.

Who is smarter? Well he is a history buff and quite the speller, but I am better at math.

Who has the worst temper? He does and continues to gain patience as we have more and more children and life experiences.

Who does the laundry? I do most of the time. Sometimes he transfer's the clothes from the washer to dryer. He usually leaves the clothes in the basket for them to get nice and wrinkled.

Who does the dishes? We he is the unloader of the dishwasher and I am the loader and kitchen cleaner.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do and have always slept the farthest from the door, to feel more protected from any intruder's.

Who pays the bills? I do and sometimes don't do that great of a job, but it keeps me in check from spending too much!!!

Who mows the lawn? Well when we have had a lawn that is all him! Currently we have a massive acre of mud/dirt and lots of weed are starting to sprout, so this will also be his task to battle.

Who cooks dinner? Usually me, however if I am working he can make a great grilled cheese or mac n cheese.

Who drives when you are together? He does, he makes too many comments when I am driving and he likes to change lanes a lot.

Who is more stubborn? We are both equal in that.

Who is first to admit they are wrong? Probably Adam, I usually am the quiet silent treatment type, and he just want's to be back to normal.

Whose parents do you visit more? Probably equal, we alternate every Sunday and Adam's parents live in our old house, so we see them frequently too.

Who proposed first? He did on Christmas Eve with both of our families there. He had a huge gift for me to open with smaller ones inside and each box had a fortune cookie re-fortuned with sweet nothing's.

Who has more friends? I would say I do, at least keeping in contact with them. He meets a lot of people but doesn't continue the effort to stay friends and he meets a lot of people from the east valley and that makes it hard to keep in touch.

Who has more sibling's? I do I have 3 brothers and 3 sisters.

Who wear's the pants in the family? I would say I do, but he difinitly has a say in big decisions too.
