Its all about KAILEY

She loved her birthday cake. She didn't want to stop eating it. Thanks Misty M. for making this amazing cake for Kailey. Not only did it look good, it tasted good! Thanks again Misty! Oh were to begin? We are truly blessed to have this little girl in our life. She has brought so much joy to our life! I cannot imagine what life would even be without her. The boys love her and are always playing with her, and making her laugh! She is a daddy's girl, no question in my mind. The boys were that way too. What the heck? Why is it never all about the mom? I mean I did carry for 9 months! Anyways we really love her,

She dug right into that cake, well after she picked out the K and all her flowers!

I'm sad to think she is turning into a big girl. I just want her to stay a baby forever! Oh well, I guess if I want to hold and play with a baby tons of my friends are having them so ill just babysit! We had a small birthday party for her, since i had to work Friday and Saturday, so Ben was in charge to make sure the house and everything was clean. Thanks honey! The house looked amazing! Maybe I should work full time! JK

Im totally in LOVE!

I just love these kids! I don't know what I would do without them. They bring so much joy to our life! A good friend of mine took this pictures of the kids. Thanks Angie your the best!

Tyler is so good with his sister, he plays with her all the time.

A quick update on our family. Ben is busy with work and his calling at church, i think hes about done traveling for work. I'm so glad. I am still working part time and loving it, i work with some of the best people. I love my primary calling even though I have 10 kids in my class. Tyler is loving school he picks up on things so quickly, it hard to think hell be in first grade next year. He has signed up for soccer for this summer. Russell is learning new things everyday, while Tyler is at school he has his own little school time were I work on him with his letters, numbers, etc. He will go to preschool next year. He loves to watch the same movie over and over again. So funny! Now that leaves me to Kailey. She is walking, talking and acting like a toddler and she isn't even one yet, this girl has an attitude, it is so stinkin cute! She loves her daddy and she wants him all the time. I really thought by us having a girl she would be a mama's girl. NOPE. All dad,(just like the boys) it makes me laugh and cry at the same time. Life is going buy so fast and it hard to keep track of everything. But we wouldn't have it any other way!

Birthday Boy

Russell tuned four on January 1st. we does time go? We did things pretty simple this year. He wanted to go see the chipmunks. So my mom watched the baby and we went. He loved it. This boy was glued to the screen. He also wanted cupcakes with footballs on them. So thats what we did. I was kind of glad he didnt want a party, I was still so tired from our trip. This boy amazes me everyday by what he is thinking about doing. he has a big imagination. Sunday was his first day of Primary he was not happy. I am now Tylers teacher and Russell thought he should go with me. Thanks Ashley for taking him to his class. Ashley his new Primary teacher is such an amazing women. I am glad she is his teacher. He had a good day after he got settled in.

Arizona

Christmas moring Ben decided we were going to Arizona so I could go see my friends.I havent been there in about five years. So we packed everything up in 4 hours and we were out the door. We( I mean Ben) drove all night and we got there about 7 am. The kids did so good they pretty much slept all night. The kids thought it was great not having to wear a jacket at all. We stayed with my friend Blayne and her husband Drew. It was the first time Ben or I had meet him. Hes so fuuny. I was able to catch up with almost all of my friends. Of course me not thinking I didnt get any pictures dang! I guess ill have to come back and visit really soon! Thanks to Blayne and Drew for allowing us to stay at there house!

The first 5 minutes we were there Russell Fired off a air soft gun of theres a fired three holes into the walls barely missing the windows. We took the kids to the park and let them play and play. Did some good shopping. Ate some good food. Made more memories. I love my friends and family and I am so grateful Ben was able to take us on a nice vacation.

On our way home we took the kids to the Hoover Dam. The were so fasinated by everything. They asked lots of questions and we had a good time. The boys have never stayed in a hotel room and they begged us to stay in one. So after we got done with the Hoover Dam we stopped outside of Vegas. We ended up staying in a hotel they has a blast. They went to bed pretty early that night.

We got up the next morning and headed home. The roades were so bad, but we made it home safe. Put a load of laundry in when I got home and ate dinner and all of us went straight to bed. We both had to work the next day!

The boys Christmas morning. Those kids make me laugh. We set there alarm for like 7:00 and when it went off Tyler got up and turned it off, and went back to sleep.

Kailey finally has enough hair to get it into a ponytail. She is such a good baby! She loves her brothers so much!

This is how I found kailey after her morning name. She sleeps like this all the time. too funny!

This is a picture of Tyler and his best friend Boden. This boys could spend all of there time outside playing with wood and anything else!

December has been crazy for us. Russell broke his nose by trying to catch a football. He ran into a board at the babysitters house. I was at work and it was Friday, it was so busy there and Ben was at work taking care of a big problem out there. So I told my boss i gotta go. I didnt explain really what was going on because i had no idea myself. I got to the sitters house and i find Russell just lying there poor kid. Then Two weeks later he had tubes put in and his anoids taken out. This kid has cost us so much money, its a good thing we love him.

Tyler is loving school and Kailey is now walking. Were does time go? I am getting old.

Family Pictures

Wow! Where does time go? Its hard to believe that Christmas is just right around the corner. Kristen Palmer did some family photos of us, she did a great job. We made it difficult for her. Russell has a broken nose, and Kailey did not want to smile until we were all done. They still tuned out great! Thanks Kristen.

Ben is busy traveling to and from st Paul. Makes it hard sometimes when I'm on my own with our three kids. Nothing bad ever happens UNTIL hes gone. Hope someone can relate to that.

We are enjoying fall and getting ready to go on vacation over Christmas break.

Kailey is almost 8 months old. Were does time go? To bad she is our last one.

Kids bowling they had a blast

Boys for there sleepover. Look at Russell have you ever seen a kid more excited? Tyler was so good with his brother. He made sure to include him in everything.
