Well...

...I don't really know where to start. A lot has been happening since I posted last. So I will try and give a quick update of what our little family has been up to in the past few months. I will start with Cason... he is always fun to talk about. He is almost 7 months old and is so much fun. He is all smiles (if your giving him attention) and loves to meet new people. He is quite the social little boy. He went on his first airplane ride down to Las Vegas to see my parents (they moved down there a few months ago) and Amy's family and he loved the plane and would smile at anyone who would make eye contact with him. It was really cute. He has been quite the little traveler. Between his four month and six month check ups he went to Casper three times and Las Vegas once. He is now sitting up on his own, eating baby food, rolling around, grabbing everything he can get his little hands on and now has two little teeth poking through. He keeps us busy but we are sure having fun watching him grow!

The past few months brought a lot of fun changes for Cason, but unfortunately they also brought the hardest thing Dan and I have ever been through and a change we wish we didn't have to deal with. Dan's sweet and wonderful mom, Wendy, passed away from cancer on Sunday, September 26th. She really was an amazing woman and was a great example to everyone she came in contact with. I could go on and on about the positive influence she has had on my life and the countless things she has done for Dan and me that we will forever be grateful for. She was a perfect Mom, Mother-in-law, and Grandma. Words can't express how much we miss her. We are grateful to know about the Plan of Salvation and that we will see her again.



On a happier note, Dan and I celebrated our third anniversary earlier this week by going to Park City. Its gone so fast and really has been the best three years ever!

    That was a beautiful tribute to my sister, Dan's mom and your mother in law. You brought tears to my eyes! Always remember - Wendy loved you so much, she loved having you for a daughter in law! We all love you guys!

February 2017

February refused to slow down for us. The kids also refused to slow down for us. I sure do love these busy days with our little family.  Unfortunately, Ellie figured out how to climb out of her crib and decided that climbing out and playing with toys is much more fun than napping. So, she is done with naps, which makes this tired, pregnant mom very sad. When I put her down for naps this is usually what I find when I go back into her room. She keeps me busy! As you can see from the picture, the kids (I think it might have just been Ellie and Kami that did the damage) decided to pull ALL of the books out of the cabinet. They love to look at books, which I love. They usually just get the books out that they want to read, but this day was obviously different. Luckily, it is an easy cleanup.  Dan turned 32 this month! We had my parents over for mint brownies and ice cream to celebrate. He had to take the youth snow tubing up at Brian Head on his birthday so we didn'...

December 2016

Once again, I have fallen behind in posting our monthly journals but here is a quick picture recap of December (at least what I can remember of it).  Kami had her dance recital at the Festival of the Trees here in Hurricane. I could have died from all of her cuteness. She did great!  In early December the girls and I took a quick trip with my parents to Monterrey to visit Amy's family (evidently I didn't take any pictures while we were there haha) while Dan and Cason stayed home because of work and school.  It was a really fun trip for us girls. I always love a chance to be around my sisters and to let our kids play with their cousins. It was also a good excuse for Dan and Cason to have a boys weekend. In this picture Cason is helping Dan rake the leaves at the house of a widow he home teaches.  They also raked a lot of leaves at our house! Dan is a such a good dad and take every opportunity to teach our kids to serve others and to work hard. Al...
