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!

Christmas 2012

Another Christmas with just our little family. We started the month of December with an advent full of fun activities to do each night. Some of them included: Making paper snowflakes, reading the Christmas story, making homemade hot chocolate, and more! The kids had fun anticipating the daily activities.
    We welcomed a little elf friend into our home in December too! The kids named him Jingle. He was a pretty tame little elf and never made a big mess like all those naughty elves that we see in other people's homes ;). It was fun waking up each morning to see where Jingle decided to hang out each night!
     A few days before Christmas we had a snow storm which caused our power to go out. We spent a full 24 hours without it and it was crazy to see how much we rely on electricity! Mom & Dad were sick which was the worst part of it because we were extra cold without any heat going, but we all managed to survive. Dad built a tent to trap the fireplace heat and that is where everyone slept minus Ainslee (who got the portable heater in her bedroom) and mom (who snuggled in her nice warm bed).
    Christmas Eve was spent opening the traditional pajamas and playing games as a family. Then we spread out some reindeer food and jumped in bed!
     Christmas morning began at about 7:30 am for us. The kids were super excited to see what Santa had brought them and they weren't disappointed! They all received everything they asked for and MORE! We even got a couple of Kindle Fire HD's to share between the family. Santa couldn't afford the iPads.....
