birthday fun!

We went to Thatcher over the weekend for our niece Addison's 1st birthday. The kids had lots of fun playing at the park. Addison had a good time opening presents and having bites of cake. After the party we went to mexican food (yum). Then we headed home. It was nice to spend the day with family.

New addition

Nope not a baby, it is a new dog. Maybe 3 is a charm. We thought since all of the big dogs we have had jumped our fence, maybe we should try or should I say Nathan thinks we should try a little dog. So here we go! His name is Chopper and he is a boston bulldog terrier, he is a good dog and the kids even Brig get along with him. Hopefully he will like his new home!

11 years!

It is our 11th anniversary today. I can't believe how fast the time goes. It seems just like yesterday we were at the Mesa Temple getting married. I am so thankful for Nathan he is such a wonderful husband, I don't know where I would be without him. We have had so much fun these past 11 years of being married , I can't wait to see what the next 11 bring. Thanks Nathan for being my best friend.

Blessed!

I know it is only the end of Sept but I am feeling so blessed right now. I have 4 amazing children who are healthy and happy. I have a wonderful husband who is righteous and provides for our family. I have wonderful parents and siblings who may not live close but are always there supporting and cheering us on. I have amazing aunts and uncle who are like second parents who are always showing love to us. I have talented, sweet nieces and nephews. I have wonderful inlaws and sister and brother in laws who are amazing also and I have wonderful friends who have been around since elementary school, high school and college and then the wonderful friends we have made while in Missoula and now sierra vista while we have been married. I am so thankful for all of these people who have inspired me and made me who I am today. I love you all!

Brig hanging out!

Brig is quite the little poser lately. He loves having his picture taken and says cheese when we take out the camera. Here are a few cute ones of him. The first one is Brig with grandma Sue the night before they moved back to phx (sad).

room redo!

We finally redecorated the girls room this weekend. We took their bunkbeds apart and painted their walls got new bedding also. They love it, hopefully they will keep it cleaner now. I think it looks nice. Nathan did such a good job painting moving everything. So glad he is around!

Jack in preschool!

Jack started preschool last week and is loving it, he is so excited to go when it is time. He has a friend from church in his class and seems to be enjoying it. I can't believe he will be in kindergarden next year. He is such a sweetie!
