Twelve is Swell

Chad and I are celebrating our Twelfth year anniversary. Twelve! TWELVE!!!! I am so blessed to have Chad as my husband. He is one heck of a man. He does so much around the house...more then me! He takes care of the kiddos and is a GREAT father. He works hard and loves his job and is a great provider for our family. I don't know how I got so lucky. From the moment I saw him and the first time I talked to him, I knew he was the one for me. The one that I would spend the rest of my life with. Sure we've had our ups and downs, but there is no doubt in my mind that this was a match made in Heaven. I cannot wait to see what is in store for us in the future and in the eternities. He is my best friend and I am more in love with him today then ever before. Here's to eternity! Forever and two days!

The kids decorated the house for Chad and I after church. It was pretty cute. Streamer strung from here to there. Hearts with C+A all over and balloons. We have the best kiddos ever.

Quincy Sue is Turning One!

My baby is turning ONE!! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. On June 13, one year ago, I delivered this tiny baby girl. She quickly wiggled her way into our hearts and won us over completely. She has been such a joy and a blessing. We love her chubby cheeks, the way she flares her nostrils, and the way she smiles with her whole face. She is patient and content. Quincy has been such a good baby. She has been so easy and everyone loves spending time with her. Especially her brother and sisters...aka her other mommys. They have been so much help. I truly am blessed to have the kiddos that I do. Happy birthday Quincy Suzanne!!!!

Riley Ann is 11!!!!

I can't believe that my Riley girl is 11!! Is that right? Can she really be 11? Am I old enough to have an 11 year old? She is sure growing up to be a sweet girl. She's beautiful and smart and friendly and compassionate. I swear it was just yesterday that I was holding her in my arms for the first time. And now tonight, as I tucked her in and said goodnight, I kissed the forehead of a young lady. I can't believe it. She is such a sweet girl. She made me a mother and I am so happy to have her as my daughter. We love our Riley girl and we can't wait to see all that she will accomplish in her life.

Quiny

Just some super cute shots of Quincy. I love this girl! She is such a good baby. She is mostly happy all day long and loves to be outside. She is crawling and standing but not walking yet. She says Mama, Dada, Trevor, Gizmo, sister and round and round (for the fan). She is such a fun baby and we love having her in our family.

Choir Performance

Riley had her Spring choir performance in May and she did great. They sang some really cute and fun songs...including one in spanish. I'm always so proud of her and all of my kids when they get up in front of people to perform. They are amazing!

Baby Animal Days

In April we went to Baby Animal Days in Logan with Jim and Kathy. We had a lot of fun. There were so many people there though and the lines were so long, so there was a lot of waiting.The kids all loved holding the little baby animals but their most favorite was the baby bunnies. The newest ones were less then three weeks old and they fell asleep in our hands. So stinking cute! It was a busy but fun filled day!
