Wow...
Time sure flies when you are having fun! And we have been! Life has been great this past few years! Busy, but great, and left little time for blogging. Maybe I will make some sort of goal to update my blog more regularly but it might be a little bit unrealistic judging by past experience. Oh well. Once every 4 years is better than never right? Lol!
Well, some very major things have happened in the past few years so I will just get started with a few and see where it goes!
Ryan and I have been married for 8 years now! We are still extremely happy and he is still my very best friend! We now have 3 amazing children who keep us very busy and our hearts very full! We are expecting our 4th (along with all the joy and craziness) near the end of February!
About 3 years ago we bought our first house. We love the little town we live in and have made some amazing friends here. We hope to be here for a long time.
Ryan is working for Provo Housing Authority and loving it. He enjoys the people he is around and the job he does. He is such a great dad and loves spending time with his kids. He takes such great care of us and loves us so much! We are sooo blessed to have him!
I am blessed to stay at home and care for my wonderful kiddos! I do not love all of the cooking and cleaning (lets just be honest here, cleaning has never been my thing... lol) but I would not trade it for the world! I love watching my kids learn and grow everyday! They are absolutely my world!
Emma is going to be 7 next month!! Sooo crazy! She is in first grade and learning to read. She loves animals of all kinds and has to know everything about them! We spend a lot of time googling facts about obscure animals and dinosaurs because I have no idea. She wants to know EVERYTHING! :D She is still a little social butterfly and sometimes has a hard time understanding why other kids are sometimes shy. She is sometimes overly excited and still does not quite understand the point of personal space. ;) Lol But she has such a kind heart and can never understand why someone would be mean to someone else on purpose... we have had a hard time helping her understand a few of the kids at school and sadly even in primary... She is my little worrier. She worries about everything! We once saw a kid walking along the side of the road and she was worried that he didn't tell his mom where he was or that he was lost. Funny girl. :)
Daxton has been such a joy to watch grow! He will be 4 in November. He is definately a lover but he also has a fighting side when he is pushed. The exact opposite of Emma who just cries. Lol He is a very smart kid. He loves words and learning new ones. I often hear him repeat words he hears and then he will ask me what it means. I have come to realize that it is hard to come up with definitions for some words that will make sense to a 3 year old. He also loves to tease! He is always teasing me. Such a silly boy! He loves cars, airplanes, trains, and tractors. He can tell you the name of any tractor he sees and what its job is.
Caysen joined our family 1 year ago in August and we could not imagine our lives without him! He loves to be the center of attention. If he catches you watching him he will giggle and start putting on a little show. He loves to make people laugh already. He had such a big personality for such a little guy! Although he really is not that little! Lol He completely adores his big brother and wants to play whatever he is playing. His face absolutely lights up when he sees his Daddy come home from work and will follow him around. He will stand at the door and cry if Ryan shuts the door to the bedroom to change his clothes and does not take him.
