I have gotten way far behind, so here is Seth at 4,5 and 6 months. At 5 months he started rolling over, shortly after that he started sitting up and now at 6 months he is crawling. My baby is growing up too fast. He is the Happiest baby, we just love him.
We were driving home from Lake Powell (I will post pictures when we have our computer hooked back up again)Sunday night when we got a phone call saying there was a fire on our mountain. So frantically calling and texting people we had a neighbor run in and grab our computer. As soon as he entered our home, the firemen were yelling at him to get out and off the street. We were still 5 hours away from our home and that was the longest ride home ever. Wayne kept playing it off that we were going to be find and we shouldn't worry. Our neighbor told Wayne that he should worry, the flames are so high, and it is traveling so fast. When we got to American Fork we could see the flames. The kids started crying, which made me start crying, it looked so scarey. We stayed at a friends home and I only slept 3 hours that night. We were just glued to the tv. Finally Monday around 3 they let us up. Every home in our neighborhood was safe but by looking at the maps and the fire line, it's such a blessing. Our home is still standing. We have a lot a smoke damage in our home and sleeping here for 2 nights we are all getting sick. We are working on getting a cleaning company to come out and take care of all this smell. It's so overwhelming. Wayne measured the distance from our home to the fire line and was about 290 yrds (less than 3 football fields, two streets away from us). That is way too close. We just feel so blessed from family and friends and their concerns and prayers. Thank you
We went camping this past weekend and Seth woke up about 630 with so much energy so we went for a walk (just me and him) and took some pictures. I just love how this one turned out.
I can't believe our baby girl is 5 now. It has been so fun watching her grow so much. She just finished preschool and is getting ready for kindergarten. I'm really sad that she is growing up because it's been just me and her for so long. But it is so fun to watch her get so excited for new things she is learning. She loves dress ups and playing with friends. She loves 4 wheeling and swimming. And she just learned to LOVE her bike (still with training wheels). She comes up with the funniest comments ever and her outfits everyday make us laugh. We can't wait to see what this next year brings for her. We love her so much.
Seth is now 3 months old. He is getting chunky. He is laughing and smiling so much, that is when he's not crying (which he still does a lot). Parker and Kendra and Brooklynn have more fun with him now that he is a little older. He's sleeping through the night and has been for about a month now. He is just so much fun and we love having him in our family.
Seth was born on March 18, 2010. He was 9lbs4oz and 21 1/2 inches. He is such an adorable baby and we just love him so much. Parker, Kendra and Brooklynn love him and smother him to pieces every chance they get. The delivery went good and I'm still healing. He is trying to figure out night sleeping and is getting better (thank goodness). We are so excited and blessed to have him part of our family.
Please keep reading. I've gotten way behind and have 3 posts today (not including this one).
Just to make sure people are still reading. . . After over a year of trying, we are finally expecting our 4th and final baby. When we told the kids, we said we are moving the toy room downstairs because someone else is going to be staying with us and needing that room. They just looked at us and got so excited because they thought some cousins were going to move in with us. We said no and that we are going to have a baby. Kendra and Brooklynn got way excited and Parker said "where are we going to get it from". That's probably a conversation needing to happen sooner than later. We are all so excited. I'm guessing I'm due the end of March ( I didn't keep track of dates last month very well). So I'm about 2 months and just starting to feel sick and I'm soooo tired. It's amazing how much quicker you show on your 4th than on any of your other kids. I guess our trip to California was VERY relaxing:)
Wayne and I took our 1st trip alone since Parker was only 1 this year for my bday. We went to Disneyland. It was so much fun. We definitely missed the kids because that's a total family vacation but it was nice not to hear "I need to go potty, I'm hungry, I'm tired "every 10 minutes. It was so laid back. Backup-we flew out, well, we arrived at the airport to fly out on the 25th. They wouldn't let us on the plane because my drivers license expired on my bday (the day before) so we had a neighbor friend go to my house and find my ss card and birth certificate and bring them to us. We got on the next flight 4 hours later, but we made it to california. The one lady in SL handing out tickets was the ONLY lady that questioned my drivers license being expired. The security guards didn't care and california didn't care. Then we spent 2 days in disneyland. Sunday before we flew home we hung out at the beach and ate brunch at a mexican restaurant on the beach. I couldn't understand our waiter very well. He came and asked me something and I said sure ( i thought he was asking to bring the check because "check" was the only word I understood), so next thing I know is he is bringing us margaritas. Apparently margaritas are included in the brunch. Wayne laughed at me and told him no thank you. We missed our kids so much but are so grateful for our family that helped us watch them for us. It was a much needed vacation.
Happy Birthday Sweetie. We love you and are so proud of you and how much you have learned and grown over this past year. 
This year all she really asked for was a big girl bike. She got a pink princess bike and has rarely gotten off of it. She also got Littlest petshop toys, HSM toys, and My Little Pony toys. She had a My Little Pony cake. We had the whole family over and had a BBQ and ate cake.
We have never been to the tulip festival before so we decided to go this year and it was so beautiful. Here's just some of our favorite pics.
Happy Birthday Wayne.
It was kind of a busy day. The office planned a lunch and while we were eating, Jared and Nicole came by with the kids. We were just hanging out when Jaren and Britney came by. It was a fun surprise. Thanks guys. We all hung out during lunch. That night we went to Cheesecake Factory, which is always quite the wait. Saturday Jared and Nicole, Jaren and Britney, Jim and Mindy and ALL the kids hung out. We had a good breakfast and spent the day together. It was really fun. Thanks for being such a great husband and dad. We all love you very much.
Happy Birthday Parker. He is so grown up and handsome. He's trying to grow his hair out so it's looking a little shaggy but he is liking it right now. He's way into skateboarding and ripsticks. He still loves school but really hates homework. He is a great helper around the house. He just started soccer again and hopefully wont be afraid of the ball. He invited a few friends and we went bowling. What is it with boys turning 9-everyone thinks they deserve guns. He got several nerf guns and a bb gun (which I'm nervous about). He got skateboarding stuff and a ripstick which he is already mastering. Happy Birthday, we love you.
