Time sure does fly!

WOW...today we celebrate the day my first baby was born. Brenden turns 11 today...it seems like only yesterday that we were speeding down the road to the hospital!! Not only does he turn 11 today, but in two weeks he starts the 6th grade. Mom sure is depressed, but not as depressed as I will be when I drop him off the first day of school for his last year in elementary school!! Time sure does need to slow down, I'm not ready to get old!!

Family fun

So on Saturday I took Brenden, Kalli and Jordyn to the Kearns Day parade. It was a blast and I think the kids had fun. I brought the camera to take pictures of all the fun that they were having and wouldn't you know it, as soon as I pulled it out and went to take a picture, the camera so kindly told me that the battery was dead...so, no pictures of the kids having fun. After the parade Mom, Dad, Brenden, Kalli, Jordyn and I went to California Pizza Kitchen for lunch. I was yummy as always! After lunch I had to hurry home because I had to go to a baby shower for my nephew, Cameron and his girlfriend. They are having a baby girl and we are so proud of them both!! Congrats Vance and Kelli on being grandparents-to-be!!

One month!!

Wow, I can't believe that my little baby Jordyn will be one years old in a little more than a month!! WHERE oh where has the time gone? I seems like only yesterday that I was cuddling her in my arms when she was sleeping, now I have to put her in her bed because she gets SO HEAVY. It's been a blast watching her learn to sit up on her own and watching her crawl around. I'm glad that I was able to see her reaching all these milestones. I was afraid that I was going to miss all the milestones since I work full time. Even though I'm going to regret saying this (you know, because the minute I do then it will happen), I can't wait for her to start learning how to walk. She's already into everything anyway, it won't be any different....that's what I have to keep telling myself so that when she does start walking it won't be so nerve racking!!

Jordyn is 6 months

Happy unbirthday to my wonderful baby Jordyn!! Today she is 6 months old (I will get pictures posted as soon as I find my USB cord!) WOW...I can't belive that it has been 6 months since she joined our small but wonderful family. We are lucky to have her here and she makes a WONDERFUL addition. We are currently working with her so she will be able to sit up by herself and she is just starting to hold a bottle up; although she does drop it a few times!

Happy Birthday Matt

Today is Matt's birthday and so we spent a wonderful time at home as a family because we really couldn't afford to do anything else. Next weekend we will be celebrating by going out on a date, which I am so excited for since we haven't had any alone time since having a new baby!!

Mommy/Daughter date

On Friday MaKayla and I went on a mommy/daughter date. We went and saw New Moon. This was my second time 'round seeing this movie but MaKayla's first. I had a blast being able to go and see a movie with my oldest daughter; now I'm looking forward to a mother/son date with my son. Matt took Brenden to see Avatar on Friday as well...thank you mom for being willing to babysit my babies so that Matt & I could take the older kids on "dates"!

First ever blog

Hello all, I have decided to join the wonderful world of blogging. I'm not too sure how to do this so I will need all the help I can get.

First off just wanted to introduce you to my wonderful family. My husband Matthew, whom I have been married to for almost eleven years, is attending ITT Technical Institute majoring in Internet Securities. He will be receiving his associates degree sometime this summer and will be receiving his bachelors sometime in 2012. I can't wait. I have four children that range from 10 1/2 to 4 months.

Brenden is my oldest and only boy. He will be eleven in August and is in the fifth grade at school. He absolutely loves his sisters, with the exception of MaKayla (no, not really, he really loves her) and is a big help to his mom. MaKayla is the oldest of my three girls and just turned eight in November and is in the second grade at school. We were so excited that she decided to get baptized this last December. It was wonderful to see her grandpa baptize her and her great-grandpa confirm her. The confirmation did have to be repeated because words were forgotten and her grandpa re-did the confirmation. Thanks to both dad and grandpa for the wonderful night. After the baptism we went to Leatherby's for ice cream to celebrate the occassion.

Kalli is the second of my beautiful girls and will be turning three in April. Jordyn is the youngest child and the youngest girl. She just turned four months today and during the week she has begun to coo and laugh when provoked! All the kids absolutely adore her as do her parents.
