Acknowledging it's been a year since I've posted, I thought I'd update whoever still reads this what has been going on in the past year.
1. We had a little addition join us January 16, 2012. Camille Elizabeth. She is so cute and loveable. Love her family, blankie and pacifier, although we are working on getting rid of the latter. She is so easy to put to bed and has actually slept through the night since the night we brought her home from the hospital. She tries so hard to talk and tell me things, I just wish I could understand what she is saying. We love her to pieces and we are so glad she's with us!
2. Carson turned 4 this year and keeps us on our toes. He is so funny and loveable. He is constantly telling me he loves me and will just come up and give hugs to whomever. He is currently taking swim lessons and calls his teacher "Hillary Celery" because when he says Hillary it rhymes with celery. Don't ask me where he gets this stuff... He loves to follow his brothers and do what they do. He is always saying things like "When I get big like Connor..." or "When I grow up like Hunter..." He
loves picking up and carrying Cami, although she screams bloody murder! Carson will be attending preschool next year and he
so excited!
3. Hunter will be finishing 2nd grade this week. He still keeps us on our toes and is still working on his temper and understanding that actions cause consequences. Always a work in progress. Hunter played Babe Ruth Baseball this year and their team got second place! He was so excited and all the parents were so surprised! We don't know how they did it. Hunter is excited to start cub scouts in a few weeks and pass off as many requirements as Connor. Hunter will also be baptized July 6th and is very excited about that!
2. Haylee will finish 4th grade on Friday. Although this year was a trying one for her, she has done a great job! She participated in cross country, science fair, run for student council, drama and I'm sure I've missed something somewhere. She is currently taking piano lessons, although she's not too fond of practicing she's doing great at it. Haylee is turning into a beautiful young woman and loves to help me cook. There are often times where she'll clean the whole house, just because. I love it!
5. Connor will finish his 8th grade year on Friday then he'll be a freshman in high school. It's so hardtop believe he's going to be in high school. I am so not old enough to have a high schooler. Connor received the rank of Eagle in scouts in December and continues to earn merit badges. He excels in school earning straight A's this year and almost all of last year earning an 89.6% in one class one semester. He will be taking a summer school class this summer so he can have an extra elective next year. He will also be getting his braces off this month, they should have been off a year ago, but his back molars are taking their time coming in.
I've been working with the YW in our ward and Trent's been teaching seminary. This last spring we went on a family vacation on a church tour. Seeing Palmyra, Kirtland, Nauvoo and Independence. We ended up finding a house in Nauvoo and put an offer on it. We got it for $12,000 and will be working on remodeling it this summer. A great investment! We're so excited! We loved visiting all the sights, Nauvoo and Palmyra being our favorite!
Trent's business is sure taking off, keeping him busy as ever! I am keeping busy with the few hobbies I have. So that is a quick view of our little lives and will hopefully be keeping up with this now that I have a computer that works!
