Here are a few pictures of Brynn that I just love. Recently I have stopped blocking the kitchen from her and she is loving the freedom of coming in and out whenever she wants. Her favorite thing to do is get in the cupboards. I thought that it was so funny that she decided to use my sauce pan for a seat. Well I guess with a diaper on, it would not be that uncomfortable. Comfortable or not she sure looked cute.
The picture of her with the pony tails make me so happy. I love to do her hair, and surprisingly she does not mind it.
Finally this is the face Brynn makes if you ask her to tell you what a monkey says. I just think it is so cute, and could her big brown eyes be more beautiful?

Kenley's hair on Halloween

I made this dress for Kenley.

Kenley's first activity days was a "snow flake attack" They decorated snowflakes and delivered them to others in the neighborhood. She loved it.


Kenley was baptized in December. We are so pleased with her choice.
Kenley is eight years old now. I can't believe how fast time goes. She is doing great in second grade. She is reading at a 3rd grade level, and is excelling at math and science. She is enjoying primary activity days every other Tuesday. Kenley is such a caring and helpful girl. Often times Brynn is just as content to be held by her as she is when I have her. She is loved by all. We are very blessed to have her in our family.

Dallin is such a sweet boy. He is smart, funny thoughtful, and loving. He has had a great sense of humor from the time he was tiny. Dallin is doing better than expected in school. We knew that he was smart and that he would be able to keep up there, but we were worried about how he would function without me being there sitting next to him each day. He has surprised is at how smooth that adjustment has been. He loves his teacher and is opening up enough that he is making friends.
Dallin is very creative and artistic. He is picking up reading very well and is good at math, but art is his favorite. He told me today that he was the first one to complete a task that his teacher asked the class to do. She complimented him and said that she was glad that he was in her calss. I could tell that he was very proud.
Dallin brings us very much happiness. He makes us laugh and love him all the more everyday.






Here are some pictures of Lauren. This is my favorite Christmas picture for 2008. Her hair was so perfect for Christmas morning.


The other photos are for her birthday anouncements.

Lauren is such a sweet girl. Even though she has the reputation of being our most sassy kid, she really is not bad. She has a strong will to do things her own way. She is so fun and full of life. She is joy and we are so grateful to have her in our life.
Lauren loves to learn. She also loves to color, cut, glue, and anything else that makes a mess.






Our sweet little Brynn. She is so much fun. Brynn loves to dance, color, play, and explore. She is one year old and in that short year I have learned that without her our family just would not be complete. She makes my heart sing everyday.
Brynn loves her mommy and Daddy. It is funny that she loves Cody so much, because it took a bit longer for the other kids to enjoy his company. With his work schedule he does not get to be home as much as we would like, so of all the kids it is good that she fell in love with Dad so soon.


This is a current picture of our little ones. I think it is almost impossible to get them to all look at the camera, with a smile, at the same time. Sometimes I take so many pictures to try to get one good one, sometimes I give up and say "That will have to do." Smiles or not, we love them so very much.

Well, we finally have a blog. Hopefully I won't let life get to busy to keep up on it
