Happy St. Paddy's Day!


Ash has been very busy this past week getting ready for the big day. Here is a picture of her leprechaun trap. We are sad to say we did not catch a leprechaun, BUT happy to say that he left us gold coins, green milk, green grapes & green doughnuts.

We're back! again!

After a busy year that included our new baby, Jeremy's back surgery, a new computer and me trying to figure out why I never have enough energy (4 kids maybe?) I have finally found a few minutes to add a new post. Yahoo! So here is an update on the last 9 months.

June
When Kate was just a couple weeks old we headed to California for trip to the beach with friends. Kate did great and the girls had so much fun.


July
Jer's cousin Annie and her kids came up to take pictures for Kate's announcements. Then up to Salt Lake for our annual summer two week vacation. We always love to spend time up in Brighton. I had a great time reconnecting with friends at my Brighton Camp reunion. We met up with some great friends from our singles ward. Between four of us we have had 15 kids in six years. Wow! And we had a great time at Mill Hollow!

August
Back home to start school. Ashley is in first grade this year and reading up a storm. Lauren started Level 1 at a nearby charter school. And Macy and Kate are mom's sidekicks.

September
After a long and painful trek home from our family reunion in Utah we took Jeremy in for an MRI and found out he had a herniated disc that required surgery. The surgery went great and Jeremy is fully recovered. We are so grateful to family and friends who helped us make it through this experience! At the end of the month we blessed baby Kate.

October
Soccer and Halloween!

November
Nanna & Papa came for a visit right before Thanksgiving. Macy joined us in the kitchen this year. Watch out Martha Stewart here comes Macy!

December
Christmas cards, seeing Santa, and heading up to Salt Lake for our annual Christmas trip. Oh yea, and Macy's black eye!

January
A new year!


February
Valentines and welcoming our new cousin Brooke!


March
Spring is here and we are all ready for the sunny weather. A fun trip up to Salt Lake for me & Kate. And Ashley has been busy getting us all ready for St. Patrick's day by making fun leprechaun traps (that will be my next post!).
