Good Reminders



Just a few good reminders of what good, sweet kids I have. Anyone who knows me knows that not everyday is a walk in the park but looking at these pictures reminds me how fast they are growing up. This morning we were looking at some short home videos from just last year. I cannot believe how big they have gotten in just a year. It makes me excited for what is to come with them but sad that time seems to be going by so quickly. I love these kiddos and while somedays I wonder why, I wouldn't trade any of this for the world.

The Big Cheese

So last Sunday was Stake Conference and the kids looked super cute and to buy us some "keep our hair combed" time I snapped a few pictures. They love to have their picture taken and when I ask for big smiles this is what I get....the big cheese! Kind of retarded but so stinkin' cute. I just love these kiddos.



Time is moving rather fast these days. We have about 11 weeks left until my due date (hopefully less of being pregnant), boards coming up, holidays, birthdays and the list goes on and on. I've almost got all of my Christmas figured out (for the kids anyway) and am starting to do some shopping. Nuts, I know. Seth thinks so too but I HAVE to be done before this little boy gets here! After diarrhea with potty training and washing clothes constantly I think we almost have it all down. She is doing awesome and we are just grateful how quick she caught on for being so young! Logan is such a sweetie, sometimes! He has his typical 3-year-old days but other times he is just so sweet. Today he took all of his animals out of closet and gave them pillows and put them to sleep in Chloe's tunnels we set up. Then he'd go check on them and if they 'got out' he put them in the crib. Hmmm, sounds familiar! Anyway, life is great and we are loving most minutes of it! Hope you all have a great day!

Moving On...


So I had the opportunity to do this beautiful girl's Senior pictures this past week. It was so much fun! It was a blast to hang out with her and her mom and capture her charm! I remember my Senior year like it was yesterday and loved every minute of it! Hope you enjoy them Raye and have a blast this year! To view more click here.

A Week of Milestones

So our first big event to report is potty training! With no successes and plenty of accidents the first two days I was ready to throw in the towel. However, so time alone with daddy and without extra "helpers" in the bathroom proved to be just what she needed! We aren't completely out of the woodworks but she is telling us, holding it and has not had an accident for 3 night and 3 naps! Hooray for Chloe and hooray for not having to buy diapers for 3 months!

Funny story about this girl. When we took her to pick out her big girl pants I held up two packages one with puppies and one with princesses. I asked her what she wanted and very clearly and excitedly "puppies"! It was so super cute. Not too much girly in this girl!

Success # 2 is Logan's progress! For a boy that has a hard emotional time doing anything by himself he has been getting himself dressed everyday this week including picking out his own clothes! For some you may think this is long over due but for this kid a huge deal! He's so smart and is really starting to compromise everything he can! He's kind of had a hard time lately but has come leaps and bounds this week including staying in HIS bed all night!
The kids are growing so fast and as we prepare for our baby brother to come it makes us realize that time doesn't stop and we need to enjoy even the little moments. Hope you all have a great weekend with time to relax and enjoy all of the blessings we've been given.

Going Private......Again

So I know we've done this once already but we have decided to do it again and for good this time. Seth likes to watch Nightline, 20/20 and those shows that show us some real life psychos. Last night's was about the guy they just caught that kidnapped a little girl 18 years ago. Anyway, it scared me for me and my kids so we are back to a private blog. If you were on my list before you are still there but if not, leave me your email address and I'll sign you up. You don't want to miss any part of our exciting lives do you?! We will be private in a few days so don't wait around!
