Happy 2013!!!

Cant believe another year is over!!!  Taeli is 9, Shea is 7, Jessalynn is 5, Kenadhe is 2, and Atcheson is 1.  Where did the time go????  I cant believe how fast is goes when you have a big family!!  We are now back in Utah and loving being around family and old friends but missing our "family" in California!! 

I've done it again!!!

It has almost been a year since I posted. I can't believe it!!! So here is what has happened. We moved into a new home. Nicer and bigger and we are loving it!!! Taeli and Shea started 1st and 2nd grade. Jess is doing preschool at home with mommy.

Kenadhe is walking and talking up a storm!! She is such a little comedian!!!

We also welcomed our 5th and final child. Our son Atcheson!!!! Born November 17, 2011.

Taeli turned 8 and was baptized!!! We are so proud of her!!!

We are having such a wonderful time being together with our now complete family!! I promise not to wait so long to post again. :-)

Heart and Soul race in Salinas

Today was a funfilled day of racing!!! Trevor ran his first 5k and finished with a time of 36:18!!! We are so proud of him!!! Taeli and Shea ran the 1/2 mile. Taeli almost won!!!! Shea ran her best and didn't give up!!! We are so proud of both of them!!!! I was so happy I was in tears!!! It was so exciting!!!

Its been waaaaay too long since I've been on here!!

I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted!! Ok so here is what has happened since soccer.

Taeli turned 7!!! I can't believe it!!! She is such a leader of the house and takes over when I am busy. What an amazing eldest she is!!

We welcomed Kenadhe Jo into our family on November 6 2010. She was 8'13" and BLONDE. We have never had a kid born blonde. She is such a joy and growing like a weed!! She is currently learning to sit up and roll over. Sounds like we are trainging a dog. :-)

December was Christmas and the kids loved it!! January through March was basketball and Trevor was the coach for the girls. They were on the same team. They loved it!! We also celebrated our 8th Anniversary this year!! I can't believe how fast time flies!!!

March 20 Shea turned 6. She is such a spitfire!! Very talented when it comes to working with her hands and is still learning patience with her sisters. Its tough being the middle child.

April we celebrated Easter. It amazes me how much the girls comprehend when it comes to talking about Jesus Christ and the sacrifice he made for all of us. We are currently in the process of ending school and getting ready to move into our new home July 1. We are super excited!!

Soccer Season in Session!!

So soccer season has started and the girls are loving it. I am not that big of a soccer fan but I love watching them play!! They are so cute!! Shea loves to get in there and kick the ball. She is so excited that Trevor is her coach!! It has made her world!! Taeli loves playing but she is a little afraid of getting hurt or hurting others in the game. She stands back and kicks it away if it comes too close to the goal. She likes the defender position best. I am so happy that they love sports and I am sure Trevor is too. Love my girls!!

Jess is 3!!!!

IF any of you know Jess, you know that the top picture I chose was the most fitting for her because she LOVES roly poly bugs!! I can't believe she is 3 already!! We love you Jess!!!

My middle baby is turning 5!!!

It is so amazing to me how much time flies!! I can't believe my middle baby is gonna be 5 on Sat!! She is so amazing!! She loves dinosaurs and is such a great help around the house (when she wants to be). She loves to play with Taeli and fight with Jess :). She is so excited to start kindergarten in the fall and never has any trouble making new friends. There is so much to say about this wonderful strong minded little girl. We love you Shea!!! Happy Birthday!!!

Emotional week for our city

This week has been a long and emotional one for our family and I am sure most of the city. A beloved officer of the city died in a motorcycle accident on Sun. Jan 31. Officers from all around central california came to pay their respects. He will be missed and his family will be in our prayers. We love you Joe Pu!! Rest in Peace!!

Christmas Parties and More!!

We had two Christmas parties for Trevor's work on Dec 15th and 16th. The girls loved it cause they were both at Chuck E Cheese's. One was for SPOA and the other was for PAL. I love seeing my family happy!!

Christmas was so much fun!! The girls got what they wanted and had a lot of fun putting out cookies for Santa and seeing the presents on Christmas morning. I love being a Mom!! I got to make everyones PJ bottoms this year!!!

Christmas parties begin!!

Sat. Dec 12 was such a fun day. I was not really looking forward to the parties this year but thought I would force myself to have fun. Low and behold I had a great day! First we went to our friends, the Wilson's, house to make suckers and fudge with our kids. Then that night we went to the Ward Christmas Party. I was so happy our friends the Wilson's came with us!!! I was most excited to see my wonderful hubby come through the door decked out in uniform; cause he was working. I love this time of year and I love my friends and family!!!

Thanksgiving in Idaho

For Thanksgiving this year Trevor and Trudi decided to surprise the grandparents by having us be at Trudi's house for Thanksgiving. They were truly surprised to see the girls run out the door when they pulled up. We had a lot of drving but it was great to see everyone that we could.

Halloween!!!

This was Jess' first year Trick-or-Treating. She loved it!! At around 1130 AM, we went to a PAL halloween party for Trevor's work at Sherwood hall. It was very fun. They had games and food and prizes. But my favorite part was seeing my wonderful husband in uniform. I don't get enough time with him. I love him to death!!!

After the PAL party we went to check out Taeli's school carnival. It was cute!! We just walked around and bought some fresh strawberries. I love living in an agg town!! We then went home and crashed for a few hours while we waited for daddy to get home from work. He came home, brought home our new-used kitchen table (which I love!!), and then we went Trick-or-treating. The girls loved it and it was like 65 outside so it was perfect weather for it. I love spending time with my family!! Doing things together is my favorite part of any holiday!!
