Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!! I'm excited for this year. It's going to be a great one. I am going to join the blogging world again.

5 months

Lucy is 5 months old already. She is a very happy baby. She smiles all of the time, she loves watching her brother and sisters play, she rolls over now but not very often because she hates being on her tummy, she LOVES her rice cereal and best of all she is the best sleeper at night. We love Lucy so much.

December Activities

We have had a fun month. There has been a lot going on. Between holiday work parties, ward party, a few birthday parties, and lots of school activities and parties we have been busy. A few things that we did do this month were making gingerbread houses with some friends, going to the movies, seeing lots of Christmas lights and just enjoying family time. I love this time of year.

Lucy's blessing

My parents came into town a few weeks ago for some quick business and so we decided we would bless Lucy in our home. It was such a special day. She has such a sweet spirit and we love her so much.

Thanksgiving at Disneyland

This year for Thanksgiving we headed to Disneyland. We had so much fun. The weather was perfect. The kids had so much fun. Definitely one of our favorite places to go.

Ruffles

I think I have gotten carried away with ruffles. I do love them though. The ruffle tree skirt sure did take a lot of time and I won't be making another one anytime soon.

Fingers

Lucy has found her fingers just like Abby did.

Silly Ellie

We were in a store last night doing some shopping and Ellie found this little trunk with a peace sign on it. She called it her treasure box. She wanted it really badly. I told her no and to put it back. She didn't want to put it back so I told her she could ask santa for it for Christmas. So she decided she needed to put it in a special spot so santa could find it. She rearranged the display and put her treasure box in just the right spot so santa could find it. It was so cute watching her do this.

A picture of Lucy for the fun of it.

A few new

Ellie thought it was cold while walking the kids to school. It really wasn't that cold. Don't you love the flip flops, skirt, short sleeves and then a puffy vest?
Abby is the best helper with Lucy. Before church last week Lucy was crying so Abby picked her up and Lucy went right to sleep.
Braden had a fun Fall party in his class last week. Ellie, Lucy and I went and joined in the fun.

Pumpkin Patch

Last night we loaded the kids in the car and headed to a pumpkin patch in Mesa. It was small but the kids had a good time. The weather was nice and it was nice to get out of the house. Ellie's favorite thing was riding the ponies. Don't you love Ellie's headband. She just had to wear it. Abby loved riding the horses also and Braden liked the games. It was a nice evening.

My helpers

Abby and Ellie are such good helpers. They take turns holding Lucy so I can get a few things done. Love the help!!!!

Six Weeks

WOW six weeks old already.

A little update

Lucy has been doing a little of this.


Not enough of this.


And a lot of this.


Lucy has had some tummy issues. Right now we are just trying to figure it all at. It's tiring and sometimes brings out the worst in me but we will get through it.

Sweet Lucy

This Sunday Lucy will be three weeks old. Wow the time goes so fast. She is so sweet and we are just enjoying every minute of her.

Summer is FINALLY over!!!

Hip Hip Hooray!!!!! Summer is over and school has begun. Is it bad to be that excited? I think Braden and Abby were excited to start also. Braden is in 4th grade this year and Abby is in 2nd. I think it is going to be a great year. They both got the teachers they wanted and have lots of friends in their classes. I'm overflowing with excitement!!!! Now if this darn baby would just come.
