Busy Life

Okay, so it's been a while and a lot has happened! First up, our beautiful daughter, Anna Elaine was born May 25th, 7:20 pm. She was 7 # 11 oz. and 21 1/2 in. long. She is a wonderful baby and she is adored by all!









Then we celebrated Amy's 7th and Macey's 4th birthday. Ooops! Wrong picture! Lookin' good babe! (The earrings were part of Macey's bday dress-up gift.)








Here are the pics of the birthday girls. And I can't get the pictures to go where I want, so I'll just post it right here. Drum roll please....Mike got a job offer in St. George and we're moving home!!! We leave here on the 27th of this month! We're all so excited! So there's all our exciting info and happenings.

Updated photos

Here are some pictures of the kiddos I took last month on a really nice day. We had fun playing outside almost the entire day.

Still Here

Well, I couldn't go too far into a new year without at least a little update! (Pictures will have to come later.)
First: We had a wonderful summer in St. George and the kids and I really enjoyed getting to know "Grandpa Gary". We are blessed to have him as part of our family!

Second: We are expecting a new little princess the end of May! That will give Jack the chance to have not only big sisters, but a baby sister too. We'd love name suggestions-we can't agree on ANYTHING yet!

Third: We had a wonderful Christmas and hope you did too!
That's a pretty short summary, but those are the main points. I'll add more later, along with photos, but for now, at least you know we're still here (if anyone even checks this anymore)!
We love you and miss you all!

First Come Love, Then Comes...

My mom is getting MARRIED! She is so happy and I am so happy for her. I don't know the date yet, but I'll try to update when I get some pictures if I can. Congratulations Mom and Gary! I'm so happy for you both!

Happy Birthday Macey!

Macey turned 3 today! What a big girl she is. She even got a new big-girl bike. We had "Uncle" Jim, and "Auntie" Liz over for dinner and birthday cake. It was simple but nice, and she had fun. Here is my list of 3 for Macey for her 3rd birthday.
1. I love that she asks me to tickle her.
2. I love that she loves to play with her sisters AND her brother.
3. I love how she's the perfect mix of a tom-boy and a princess.
Macey, my list of things I love about you goes on forever, but I want you to know that I love you, my sweet birthday girl!
Here are a few pics from today:

Can you hear her happy gasp? She loves blocks!

Happy Birthday Amy!

Today our sweet Amy turned 6 years old! Here is a list of 6 things I love about Amy (although there are a lot more than 6).
1. She has amazing faith.
2. She loves her brother and sisters SO much! (She's a wonderful big sister)
3. She LOVES to learn.
4. She is (almost) always excited to help with chores.
5. She has a great sense of humor.
6. She loves me even when I haven't been as good of a mommy as I should be.
Amy, I love you! Happy birthday my sweet 6 year-old!

Here are some photos from today.

She LOVES her sisters!

She wanted an apple pie for her birthday.

Happy Birthday, to you!
