Our Family Christmas Pictures


We finally had our pictures taken as a family! I am so happy with how they turned out....THANK YOU Jason! You never know how things will go with three little ones. It was a cold day, but we managed to get some smiles (and runny noses)! I can't figure out how to get them all the same size...I've tried and tried and I have given up.
We are so grateful to Jason for taking some time out to take these...you are so great!
While I am at it, I have to write down the funny thing that happened the other night. Matt was out of town and I had just finished teaching piano. Needless to say, it was a crazy night. Kids were running around screaming (all in fun) and I had just told the girls to change their clothes so we could go out to get some dinner. For some weird reason, when my kids change out of their clothes, they start running around and screaming (I don't know where they get that from)! During all of the commotion, the doorbell rang. Without thinking, Kate and Sam opened the door...and when realizing that they were not dressed...they ran away screaming (again). I got to the door to find a not too amused police officer standing there. I kept apologizing for the girls behavior...and then he said he actually had a reason for being there...someone had phoned in a call from our number. Just then (no joke), Luke comes toddling around the corner holding a phone. Sure enough, he had dialed 911 (along with a sequence of numbers). I was so embarrassed...but now I can laugh at it! Officer friendly (as I like to call him), told me that they had been listening in on the call and heard all of the commotion so they came to check it out. What a crazy night!

Little Haunts!







Last week we went with Em, Hayley and Max to Little Haunts at This is the Place State Park. What a great deal! The kids absolutely loved it....they had tons of crafts, a petting zoo, pony rides, 2 train rides, and a candy canon. We even saw 2 snakes...very exciting!

St.George and Luke's 1st Birthday!

What a fun couple of weeks! Matt had to work in St. George for a couple of days and my parent's had the condo the same week....so we all went together! We had a fantastic time doing the usual...swimming and eating out. We had such a great time with my parents. They are both amazing people, and so much fun to be around. We probably drove them crazy after a week together...but we sure had a blast!

It just so happened that Luke had his first birthday while we were in St. George. He loved eating his own cupcake (he actually had 3)....and the girls had a great time, too! When we got home, we had a big family birthday party at Becky's house for Luke and Benj. Of course, Becky made her awesome cakes...and she even made a cute little one for Luke. He loved it!

I am so grateful for Luke and the joy he has brought to our family. He is such a happy little mellow guy. He hardly cries...even when he is sick or hurt. Luke always has a smile on his face and a little love for anyone who picks him up. I think after having two "Daddy's girls" I actually have a "Mommy's boy". What a cutie!

Luke's Slideshow


Since Luke's 1st birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, I thought I should probably do a slideshow of his first year! What a cutie he is....we absolutely adore him. He is our little mellow man...and he always has a smile on his face. What a joy!

Sam's Slideshow


Sam started pre-school this week....and as I went to take her picture, I realized my camera was out of batteries! What do you do?!
So, I decided to make a little slideshow of some of our pictures of Sam. She is such a funny kid, and she is growing up so fast! This was a very exciting week for her....she started pre-school with Ms. Jenny and also started her CDO (Communication Disorders Only) class with Ms. Malia. She was very excited to be a "big girl" and go to school like Kate. We are very proud of her and we are so blessed to have her in our family.

Waiting for the bus to come...


Today was Kate's first day of school...I can hardly believe it. I have to admit.....I thought this would be much easier than it was. I am not sure who was more nervous. To those of you who are wondering how it went.....I am guessing it was okay?! I still haven't been able to get her to talk much about it....she has been too busy playing with her friends.
