Happy 8th Birthday SHAD!!

Yesterday was Shad's 8th birthday!! He got some games for his DS. also a book and a bakogan dragon toy. Both grandparents sent some money so we went to walmart and he bought.... another DS game!! ;o) I can't believe he is 8 years old!! time has gone so fast and he will be grown before we know it. He is excited to be baptised on Feb. 7th. We are so proud of him.

Happy Birthday Shad!!

I am a child of God

Today I was called to teach the Valiant 9 class in Primary at church. It is the 8 year olds who will turn 9 this year. There are actually 2 classes of the Valiant 9s cause there are so many of them, so we each have 8-9 kids. They seem sweet and ready to learn and participate. Hopefully I will survive. I am mostly worried for when the baby is born and I have to nurse or something. Brandon's schedule is very hit and miss so it is hard to say when he will be at church to help. I just need to have faitht hat all will be well. I think it will be. I have never been in primary before so this is a new adventure but I could already tell today how special all the children are. We are all children of God and all special to Him. .....Wish me luck! ;o)

Happy New Year!!!

I can't believe it is 2009!!! We will be welcoming our newest addition in just 2 more months!! We are excited and ready. We had a great 2008 with many trials and blessings.
I am usually a good journal writer so I went back to look at what I had written but but my first entry for 2008 was in April when we recieved an offer on our house in Watertown. We closed on it in May and put all of our things in storage and went to Maine for 5 weeks for Brandon's last rotation and also Graduation in June!! after Graduaution we went back to Watertown to get our stuff and drove on down to tulsa, which took longer than expected with flooding etc. and then our house deal was a bout to fall through and we were in a motel an extra week but finally everything came together and we were able to move in to our new home in mid June. We love our house and it has been wonderful. in July I found out I was expecting our 4th baby. also in July, Gracie turned 2 and was potty trained. she was super easy to train like Shad was so I am grateful; for that too with being pregnant and all. She seems a lot older than she is cause she does so many things herself and speaks so well.
Shad started 2nd grade and Chloe started Kindergarten. they both are doing wonderfully and making good friends.
Brandon is busy busy with work but is doing well and enjoying it for the most part. He is very good at what he does and the Drs. and patients all like him. What can I say, he is wonderful;.
September and November we drove home to Idaho. that is one LONG drive!! it was wonderful to see our families and spend a little time with some friends.
Shad will be 8 in 2 weeks and will be baptised. he is so excited. I am proud of the boy that he is. He is a lot of fun and has a very special spirit. Chloe will be 6 the week after and she is quite the little lady. she is very mellow and easygoing. She is my big helper and I am proud of her too.
Brandon and I celebrated our 11th anniversary Dec. 6th! I am such a lucky and blessed woman to have him as my husband. He is such a strength to me and to our family. He is a hard worker and so sweet to me. I love him more each day. I am grateful I am able to stay home with the kids. although, they often ask when I'm going to get a job and when can they go to daycare. hmmmm......

Merry Christmas 2008

Christmas cinnamon rolls. yummmmm!

Gracie was so excited for her kitchen set, m y little ponies and little mermaid..

Shad got a BB gun and a nintendo DS., he didn't have his glasses on at first and didn't see the DS till he heard chloe say about her own DS. he went running over to see hers and we told him to check his own stuff and it still took him a minute. they were both so surprised cause we told them they weren't getting one this year, so they were hoping for maybe next year.

Chloe got Baby Alive learns to potty, and the DS. the baby alive can eat too but it is a lot of trouble to mess with so we are just doing the water thing. it is cute. they all got spoiled with presents from their grandparents and a few family games and things from us. the girls got a tutu made by Aunt Jaime that they LOVE!! they are so cute. they wore them all day long.

We had a wonderful day with just our own little family. We went to some friends' houses for dinner on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. that was a lot of fun too. luckily Brandon had most of the week off.
