I just had to put these pictures on here from Aly's dance recital. She had a ballet dance and a tumbling routine. She was awesome! She had so much fun and loved getting her trophy which she shows off to anyone she can!

My Bradley Boy!


Bradley is 2 1/2 and he is so full of energy. He loves to laugh and smile. He is such a lovable little boy. He also likes to get into trouble and test me all the time. We are just starting to potty train. He is doing pretty well. I am lucky that he is motivated by stickers so that's pretty easy! I can't believe that he is not a little baby anymore....he actually looks like a little BOY! He definitely acts like one too!

Aly Sue!

My Aly Girl is 4 (almost 5) and she will be starting Kindergarten on Monday. I just can't believe it. It makes me want to cry to think about it. I don't know what I am going to do without her here at home with me. Aly has such an outgoing personality. Once she gets over her separation anxiety, she wants to be the star of the show! She loves to dance and I think that she is pretty great at moving and shaking! She loves to laugh and smile and is one of the cutest little girls ever! Aly has so much love to give. She tells us everyday that she loves us and she has to give Nate a hug and a kiss every morning before he leaves for work. She always gives Nate a hug and says, "I love you so much Daddy!" Mommy and Daddy love you so much, Aly!

My Madie Girl!


Look at Madilyn! My sister-in-law, Sara, took the cutest pictures of my kids at the Sand Dunes in Idaho Falls. Madie is just growing up so fast.Can you believe that she is only 7 (almost 8)! She is such a good kid. She helps me so much around the house. She especially helps me to take care of Isabelle. Hopefully she won't grow up to say that she raised her younger brothers and sisters because I don't ask her to...she just does it. I love her so much.

6 months!


Isabelle turned 6 months old when we were on our summer vacation in Idaho! As I did with Madilyn and Alyssa, we went and got her ears pierced! She only cried for a second and then she stuck her two fingers in her mouth and was fine! Gotta love those self-soothers!

Hello Again!

OK so I really want to get back to this blog. I know that it has been 4 months since my last posting, but I have decided that even if no one reads this....I really want to post for myself. I need to write things down about my kids before I forget them. So for those of you that do check this page, I will be posting much more often! I hope you enjoy!

Isabelle 3 Months old

Isabelle is now 3 months old! Time seems to be going by so fast! She is a very happy baby. She has started to really laugh now. She is ticklish around her neck and will laugh at that. She loves to just watch her sisters and brother. Although, her brother, Bradley, is starting to be pretty rough with her. We have to keep our eyes on him all the time. She is still a really good sleeper. She sleeps through the night and is just starting to get big for the bassinet. But I am not ready to move her out of my room yet. Here is just a picture of her so you can all see how big she is getting!
