Baby Julia- Jan 27th

Julia weighed in at 9 pounds, and was 21 inches. I am glad to say the hard part is over. Almost 4 weeks later now and parts are starting to feel better. Julia will be our last baby so we are enjoying spoiling her. Everyone always says the last one is the most spoiled and after letting her sleep with us most of the last 4 weeks, the theory is holding true. I am enjoying the long hours of carrying her around because she cryies if you put her down. Yes, it is my own fault.

Thomas' B-Day Party

Thomas and his very best friends, had a sleepover, which included alot of junk food and staying up very late playing games. Then Anthony out of the kindness of his heart (or the whip I carry) took them to Castles and Coasters today. Thomas is becoming a great kid as he gets older and is a great help with Olivia and shopping. I don't know what I would do without you. I love you.-mom

Christmas 2009

We are very lucky to have family close by. We did our traditional gingerbread houses. Each year gets better and better. After 34 years of practice, Adam still wows us.

Student of the Month - Dec 16,2009

Yeah! He is a good kid, and I have proof. Nathan is the kind of kid that spends playtime on the wall on occasion. And I have heard more than once, I can't help it he was talking to me first.

I am very proud of you!

Oh Nathan!!

Nathan is my child that takes 30 minutes to get dressed, and 20 to brush his teeth. Of course we were running behind getting ready for church, when Nathan comes down stairs like this. I couldn't yell. I wanted to cry, but instead got the camera. You are a special boy Nate!

Joshua's Baptism - Dec 5,2009

Joshua's Baptism was very special to me. He had been looking forward to it for a long time. I'm not exactly sure why. Because when you ask him, he doesn't really have an answer. But it is the right thing to do, so why not. Then after he was baptized during his confirmation. He looked at me with tears in his eyes. I knew he felt the spirt that was so strong. And knew exactly why we get baptized. Afterward he came to me and gave me the biggest hug, and didn't let go. Josh has a special spirit and I know Heavenly Father is proud of him.

Going to the Zoo

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend Nathan's field trip. I followed (chased)a group of 5 year olds around the zoo for several hours. All while they talked about poop and butts the entire time. I did love spending time with Nathan, and was so proud of him for letting the bird sit on him and feed him. (One of my phobias)
