My new nephews!

My sister just had her 2nd child on the 26th of September. She was 4 day's over due, but had a healthy 8# baby! He is adorable and growing so much already. I thought that once I would hold him and see him I would be baby hungry and want one.....NO, not right now! I am too stressed, I need to get in a home first and get settled!!! She named him Everett. (it's a family name in a way)! he is cute and has his own little facial features!! We love him!

Also, my cute sister N law and her hubby just adopted a little one. He was Born a week later than Everett. They named him Parker. He is also a cutie! I have not held him much. He is fun and we are excited to have him in our family and to also have another boy!
I have Pictures of Everett but not Parker!

My baby is 4!!!

Jaci had her 4th Birthday on Sept. 29th. We had a party for her up at my moms since we moved out the day before. My mom had to work that night so my 2 sisters were here and us. It was a low key Birthday for her, but she still had lots of fun and got spoiled. We made her cupcakes and put animals on each one! The kids liked them! Jaci and Marissa especially liked all the animals. my baby is 4. She is growing up so fast it makes me sad. She still is hard at times, but I am hoping that this year will get better!! She still gets ear infections, but hopefully one day it will all be gone!! We love you Jaci. We are glad you are in our Family!

Leaving our "First Home" as a Family!

It was a little bit of a Bitter Sweet thing for me to leave Farmington. That is where I brought all my kids home from the Hospital and they made their first friends and went to school. It was hard to leave. It was our first "home" ward with our children also. Both Tony and I have been in many callings in the Farmington 3rd. ward. We did a lot to our little home that we bough 8 years ago. We fixed it all up with Granite, Nice Cupboards, Tile, Painting, newer carpet.....just so that we could sell it!! No, we were just out growing our home and wanting something a little bigger to grow into with our kids getting bigger!!! We have loved the ward and many neighbors that we became acquainted with and grew to love. We had many friends in the ward and hope to be able to keep that friendship with much of you!!! I took one last picture of the kids in front of their "First Home"! They have been missing all of their friends at school and in they neighborhood!

Blake in 2nd Gr. & Marissa in Kindergarten

So I wasn't a very good mom this year when school started. I forgot the first couple of day's, so the next week, I took a Picture of marissa and Blake did not want his Pict. taken. They have both done really well and enjoy school. For Sept. and October, the kids stayed at Farmington Elem., than when we sold our home and actually moved up to my parent's home, Tony didn't want me driving back and forth all day long so we decided to move the kids to Sam Morgan Elem. (which they ride the bus)! They have done well with the move and changing of school. I as a mom, was more fearful for them, but they day kids are resilient and make change well. My kids have done really well. Blake is in the same class as his cousin which makes it really nice and an easy transition. Marissa's kindergarten teacher is wonderful and to come to find out, she was in our Stake in Farmington. It has been good so far, a little stressful for me, but we are still looking for a home and have walked through quite a bit! We will let you all know where we end up one of these day's!
The bus did have a mis-happen the 1st week of school. Marissa is the only one to be dropped off at her stop, so one day they had a sub driver, I guess her name was not on the route, so the bus just went on by and did not drop her off. Me as a mom 15 min later not knowing where my child was and if she was ok and if she did get on the bis to come home, I was freaking out. In the back of my mind I knew something like this would happen sooner or later and sure enough, it did. marissa was fine with the whole thing. I was upset. It almost made me want to put them back in their old school.
We are good now and the kids are having fun. Not too many kids for them to play with up here. They get bored really fast, but it is nice to be living with Grandma and Grandpa and living next to my grandma and Grandpa and Aunt and Uncle!!
