Missing My Family...

Ok so after my little rant yesterday I thought I better post something else. I can't wait to get our Christmas tree tomorrow and that will help it feel a little more like Christmas around here, since we are still waiting for snow. My sister in law requested a picture of my nice round belly, but I have not gotten around to taking that yet, (or maybe ever!) We will see if I can find a way to get a halfway decent shot! We found out yesterday that Chas' parents are coming up sometime before Christmas and the kids were so excited dancing and running all around the house yelling "Vovo and Pops are coming!" I really do wish we lived closer to grandparents, I have so many wonderful memories of living close to my grandma! What would we do without family? I truly don't know, what a sad life that would be!!!! Anyway to all my family out there who may by some chance read this, I love you! Here are a few pictures... Lana is a great person, and is so good at keep in touch. I love how on the ball she is and ALWAYS sends pictures and fun things in the mail! Amron is a good Dad and tells the rest of us how it is!!!

Tyanna is such a hard worker and easily shows up the rest of us in that department!

Mom and Dad are wonderful and can take full credit for any of us turning out half decent!


One of my favorite pictures of my Dad!

Ezra and Lindsey who put up with us every month and watch our kidswhile we come down to the temple! Thanks guys!!!


I found a picture of my Grandma, isn't she beautiful?



And the two young ones! Who are the greatest aunts ever. They are so fun to be around



There are a lot of us when we are together!


Grandpa and all the grand- daughters, love it!




Aaron and Marissa, Marissa is the epitome of patience and being a dedicated Mom. Aaron keeps us all laughing.

Brooklyn or Emree?

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

First day of School!

Next to my kids this is my pride and joy, I love working in the garden! Chas likes it too, he doesn't have to weed! Actually he always takes care of the kids while I spend time there. It's so nice!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
