Updates! (A lot of em')

We have had a crazy month of May! We had Chase's 8th birthday, Belle's kindergarten graduation, then Chase's baptism. We ended up going camping the weekend of Chase's birthday and we celebrated it up there. He had fun with his cousins and presents. He was also very excited to get baptized, which is really awesome! It was such a great day. Chase's cousin Brody was baptized the same day, we went to Brody's then Chase's and it was great. We had our family there and the spirit was there as well making the day so special for him. I hope he remembers it. I also was able to get a picture of Chase with his dad, two grandpas and one great grandpa. He is a lucky little guy to have so many people that love him and support his decision to join the church. Thank you family for your loving support, you guys are awesome:)

This is Belle with her teacher Mrs. Conrad. She is really sad to leave her class.

Belle's 6th Birthday!

I cannot believe my little Belle is 6 already. I still remember the day she was born, so small and absolutely perfect. I was surprised when they let me hold her after she was born and they didn't rush her off like they did Chase. I am so grateful everyday for her, she helps me out all the time and is a great big sister to Brooke. Even though Brooke doesn't do much to deserve it. There are days I think she should be in charge, she would do so much better than me. She is so much more patient than me. Happy Birthday Belle! We love you:)

Puppies (Yes, again)

Okay, so these little puppies are seriously so much fun, not to mention adorable! If you can't find me or Belle we are out with the puppies. Brookie is also a big fan of the puppies. If they are in the garage she tells me "Bring my puppy in." We were playing with them and Brooke was chasing after one of them yelling, "Puppy, i just want to kiss you." Here are a few pics of the girls with them.

Our new puppies!

Here are our two little puppies. They are two weeks old now and have their eyes open. They are so sweet:) We love them!

Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas! I hope yours was just as great. I asked the kids what their favorite present was, Chase, said it was his air hogs helicopter. Belle was most excited about her own digital camera. Brooke was most excited about her new "baby" that is just like Belle's with a stroller that matches Belle's as well. I got steps for my car, which is really nice. I got Zach a painting set, he has wanted to paint for a long time and I hope he will get to try it out and maybe find a hobby he enjoys. I am extremely grateful for my savior and all the blessings he gives me everyday, regardless if I truly deserve them. I hope you all had a great Christmas and felt the true spirit of the season!

New family pictures

I love and hate to have new pictures done. I am always glad when we have them, but it's a pain getting the kids to cooperate and actually smile on Que. They turned out cute and I love the one with Zach and the girls!
