Easton

Easton
Easton is the cutest little boy we know! He rightfully earned the nickname 'BEASTY' when he was a baby and it has stuck with him. He is such a sweet little mommy's boy and we are ALL at his Beck and call. Easton loves cars, snacks, and playing outside. He is talking up a storm and it seems like he learns something new every single day. He is at such a fun age. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this little guy!

Ainslee

Ainslee
Ainslee is the baby and she just turned ONE!! This child is a handful!!! She hasn't quite grown out of the difficult phase.....that she has been in since she was born, but we still find ways to find her sweet side! Hearing her baby giggles and watching her discover & learn new things make all the whininess......just a little easier to deal with. Aaaahhh, we love this Ainslee Girl!!

Avery

Avery
Oh our cute little Avery! With her blue eyes & blonde hair, she is one of the cutest 4 year olds around!! This girl is stubborn! She definitely keeps us on our toes. She is quite unpredictable, which makes for a lot of laughs! Avery is our TREAT-FREAK! We can always guess what is on her mind. My favorite thing about Avery is her smiles. She always has one for us no matter what and that makes everyones day just a little better. She attends preschool and says she doesn't like it, but secretly we know she does ;). We are so lucky to have this cute girl in our family! We can't get enough of her.

Kobe Dylan

Kobe Dylan
Kobe is our first child, born in 2004. He was 4 months early and weighed a whopping 1 lb. 4 oz.! We got to be with Kobe for 4 wonderful weeks. I feel so blessed to have been chosen to raise one of God's perfect children. We love him and thank Heavenly Father everyday that he is part of our family. We have a treasure in heaven.

Quinnie just turned 6! She is growing faster than we can keep up with! She loves going to first grade and is doing really well! She picks up on things very quickly and LOVES learning. She's seriously a sponge. Her favorite thing to do is write notes and draw pictures for her friends & family. You should see our continual stack of papers. Quinnlyn is creative & spunky & totally independant. We love her like crazy!

Saying Good-Bye

Leaving Indianapolis was definitely harder than I ever thought it would be. After 4 years, I consider it home and I have so many fond memories of it. I loved the big city (especially at night), our ward, and especially our dental friends. Before we moved from St. George, when I thought I would never make it living so far from family, my grandma told me the next 4 years would be the best years of our married life. I should've believed her! It's rare that Brett and I meet couples whom we are both compatible with (I am sure it's just us), but we made some of our best friends out in Indianapolis.

I prayed for a few friends and I was given 12 of the most amazing women to be my 'family away from family'. Between the girls nights, recipe group, book club, birthday dinners, lunch get-togethers, baby showers, and holiday parties, I always had something to look forward to. Twelve girls with completely different personalities (we seriously couldn't have been more different) who meshed so well together doesn't happen everyday.....and I am so glad we were lucky!! We are friends for life, and I imagine it will be pretty easy to pick up where we left off once our reunions come around (we have already planned LAS VEGAS in 2014....can't wait!!)

Brett won't get as sentimental as me, but he will have friends for a lifetime as well! How could he not....those guys spent almost everyday together for 4 years. I am so glad he had them to keep him company while they went to school. At least I didn't feel so bad for him having to work so hard :).

I still get sad thinking about our life in Indy and I imagine the sadness will last a while. I feel so blessed that the Lord directed us to Indianapolis. Long story short, we would've chosen Ohio but they accepted Brett the day after he moved our stuff out to Indiana. CLOSE CALL!! Does everyone feel as lucky to move away to grad school or is it just me?

And how is it that I can overlook the tornadic activity? I must've really had a great 4 years right??
