Preschool Program

The kids got new church clothes which were definately needed!

 We bought both the kids christmas trees for there rooms and danika insisted on getting a picture with hers.

 Last Night was her Christmas program for Preschool. It's so cute watching all the kids singing!! Seems weird to think we will be watching Linkin next year instead of Danika!

 Danika with her 2 cousins that are in the younger class!

Our Little Princess!

Family Pictures

My Awesome Friend Meg took some family pictures for us! She did fantastic!! We couldn't get Linkin to cooperate so he's crying in all the photos.

 She was nice enough to take his picture another day!! He's such a cutie!

She is amazing! Let me know if you want her number!

Yesterday....

Quinn left yesterday for Aghanistan. It was a gloomy day and the emotions have defineatly kicked in, I think this is gonna be one of the hardest years I have faced, and I will pray daily for him to return to us safely!

I wish i had better pictures of him but this will have to do!

I had to do some cropping on this picture!! Sorry,

Quinn- I want you to know how proud I am of you and how much I'm gonna miss you!!! Love ya tons!!!

Happy Birthday Linkin!

Linkin turned 3 yesterday! we had a great day, got pictures taken by my friend, Meghann. Then went to Chic-fil-a for lunch and let the kids play in there little play center, then we came home and had a birthday party for stinker! If you don't know Linkin very well he is obsessed with Hot Dogs!! He not only loves to eat them but he randomly talks about them or will be singing a song and in the middle scream HOT DOG!! So we thought it only appropriate to have a Hot dog cake so here it is!

We used Twinkies as the hot dog and a cake baked in a bed pan as the bun! Then we bought the coconut pecan frosting and made it into relish! We had so much fun making it!!

He got super spoiled with all his new toys!

Thanks everyone who came and celebrated Linkin's birthday with us!!

Baby Number 3

Well it's official we are having our 3rd baby! A little nervous but super excited!! Went to our first appt. a week ago and everything looks great!!

Danika want's a sister and linkin doesn't care!!! I secretly want another girl as well but will be excited with whatever!! Can't wait to start feeling better, I've been so much sicker this time!! Just glad it's not twins though!!! I would put the ultrasound pictures on here but have no clue how!!!

Callings!

Lyle and I both got new callings on sunday!!!
Lyle is the Secretary in the Young Mens, we are so excited for him to be done with Scouts, but also glad that he still gets to participate with the Young Men, he really enjoys them!

I just got put in as the Beehive Advisor for the Young Womens! I'm so excited, as you know this is my favorite place to be with the Young Women!! I know it's gonna be a ton of work but I think I can handle it!!!

Wish both of us Luck!!!!

Summer 2010!!!

Well I thought I would finally post some of our adventures this summer! We went the end of June to Idaho Falls, where my best friend lives! Her parents own a ranch up in Ririe that they let us stay at! It was so much fun!! And beautiful of course!! The kids got a night with us and a night without us! Kristi was nice enough to keep the kids for a night so we could have some time alone!! Which was greatly needed!!

 We ate at a Pizza place with her mom and dad! It was so yummy!!

Linkin loves to hold on to our legs which of course drives us crazy!

 The cabin was so nice!! We loved it!

 We stopped in Alpine on the way home and let the kids play at the park! We had a lovely little picnic while we were stopped! It was such a nice break from our crazy lives! or should I say Lyle's crazy life!

 Danika took this picture i thought she did a pretty good job!

 We went to Bear Lake a couple of times already this year! We love it there! The kids just have so much fun! 

 Linkins swim suit is a little big, suprise suprise! one year he will grow i just know it!

This is Linkin with Gage, They just moved to Seattle! I already miss this family like crazy!! We enjoyed each other so much, she was a single mom with 4 kids and so me feeling like i am a single mom most of the time enojoyed having her around to hang out!!

So far we have had a really good summer, we get to go to Island Park in August with my mom and dad! That should be alot of fun!!

Lyle is staying super busy with work at the shop, riding on the ambulance a couple nights a week, being fire chief here in richmond and being the asst. scout master as well!! We are so blessed to have him with not only one job but 4!! Sometimes it gets really hard but we are getting use to it more as the time goes by!!

Danika will get to go to preschool 3 days a week this fall, I can't hardly wait!! She will love it as much as i will, now if only I could find a place for Linkin! Oh well one on one time right!!!

Linkin has learned to talk so much the past couple of months, he's learned the word "Why" So we get to answer a lot of questions from him but we are enjoying him so much!!

As for me, I'm learning to be patient and trying to rely more on myself now with lyle being gone, I have finally gotten use to sleeping alone without him at nights and not making Danika sleep with me because I am scared!!! I'm trying to stay positive even though it gets tough!  Hope all are doing well!!!
