OK.. so A FEW highlights from this year...
In January Chad's brother Kevin SUPRISED us when he told us he was getting bapzited! HOLY cow we were soo excited! Kevin is chads ONLY full blood sibling he has, he is 26has 3 of the cutest boys and 1 SWEET angel baby Kooper Roy.. For those of you that dont know in december 2009 My sweet sister in law was pregnant and at 25-26 weeks lost her little boy.. It was so hard to watch them go through what they did.. BUT knowing what I know about eternal families I felt comfort to know that we WILL see him again, and prayed MANY MANY times that they would one day feel the same.. WELL NOW that Kevin is baptized they are working to go through the temple to be sealed to their boys!! I cannot express how AMAZING it is to know that they will be sealed to eachother and that they will have the opportunity to seal Kooper to them!! The experience of watching Chad Baptize his brother was so amazing the spirit was so strong I can only imagine what it will be like to see their family sealed!! I love them so much and very proud of the AMAZING choices they are making!!
FEb-MAY pretty much a blurr.. Spent most of it raising 4 kids on my own while Chad worked out of town in Louisiana! BLAH is all I have to say.. it was SOME of the hardest days i have had as a mother.. sick babies, sick mommy, sick babies!!! Ashlynn gradutated from preschool.. that was exciting!! She is going into kindergarten now that no so exciting.. sad she is old enough for real school.. I will cry like i did for Riley I am sure! :)
June Chad and i celebrated our 8th WEDDING anniversary!! YEP 8 Years.. I have always loved Chad but my love for him grows more and more.. I love every minute we have together and this September we will be celebrating our 2 year TEMPLE sealing anniversary and to me that is MUCH MORE important! I am so blessed to be sealed to Chad and my AMZINGLY beautiful babies! :)
JULY... It has been a VERY fun July so far..
JULY 2nd we went to the north shore pool and celebrated My sweet neice Gracie's 6th birthday...It was so fun WE (mostly chad) got Fried...He is still peeling LOL! Hopefully next time he will listen when we say SUNBLOCK.. LOL
July 4th .. SO SO FUN Our sweet Ashlynn was in the Cherry Days Parade.. She was on a dance float and did so good.. she loved it!!
Our sweert friends Jake and Alicia and their 3 sweet babes, and Our bro and sis in law kevin and Melissa and their sweet babes came and hung out at the parade.. JAKE AND CHAD are like 2 large 6 year olds.. seriously.. they are so funny!! The rest of the day we hung out the Kevin and Melissa had GREAT dinner and went to the Clearfield fireworks.. Our kids Jammies all kinda matched and for the 4th so we took pics it was hilarious people were looking at us like we have never been in public taking all the kids pics before we had 3 cell phones and a camera in their faces!!
(the people in the background were thinking we are NUTS)
There are a ton more pics but the computer was being slow.. BOo..
ANywhoo.. A little bit of whats going on with each of us
Chad... will be starting a new job on Base the end of this month and I canNOT be more happier.. ALL I know is its about time he gets better then what he has now!!
Riley... is getting so big it makes me sad he will be in 2nd grade this year and IS SOO excited! He will be playin soccer for the 3rd year this fall! Riley is or little helper and i couldnt be more blessed to have him as my ONLY SON!! He is so gentle with his sisters and very tender hearted!! I ABSOLUTELY love him!!
Ashlynn... she is my DIVA.. she is going into Kindergaten this fall and is so excited! She is already reading so she will be ready for that!! She will be starting her 2nd year of dance, I LOVE watching her dance she is so good and Its fun to see her experience it!! Ash is our little helper and I LOVE it! :)
Hailey... Where to begin with this one.. she is SOOO full of life my mom says pay back for how i was(i think I wasnt as bad as she says) LOL.. Hailey is SOO funny she lights up the room with her personality and BEAUTIFUL little face! She is MORE of a helper then I need so independent its killing me... and ruining my carpet(3 bottles of NEW fingernail polish ALL over the floor) still trying to figure out how to remove it!! :)
Kensley... She is almost 1 and I cant get enough of this babe!! I am starting to wonder tho.. if she is a little dependant on everyone to hold her she doesnt want to crawl.. notta! She is gradually learning she now army crawls then rolls to whatever it is she wants apparently that is MUCH faster!! I really am ok with it tho.. she is my last so if she wants to take her time growing up thats ok!!I LOVE LOVE this girl..
hopefully I can update this a little more often then 1 time a year.. we'll see!!! :)
