Jace's Blessing

When I say that I've been dreaming of this day for almost two years, I'm not exaggerating. Being able to bless a healthy new baby boy was a great feeling. It was very emotional for me because after the twins passed away I sometimes thought that blessing a new healthy baby would never come, I'm so happy that I was wrong! I miss Drake and Dax terribly, but Jace has helped us to keep moving forward and have faith in Heavenly Father's plan.

Don't Ryan and Mike look alike? (Minus the facial hair obviously)

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Ryan turned 33 yesterday, and so we had some cupcakes... And went to the Dodgers D-Backs game.


My mom sent all the boys Dodgers t-shirts, and since they were playing I felt we should wear the shirts. Some people did make some comments, but since our kids were so cute they were't too harsh on us for supporting the Dodgers. I just go for the cotton candy, so I don't care what shirt you wear.

Hope you had a fun Birthday Ryan!!!

Knotts Berry Farm

Ryan's company had their annual picnic at Knotts Berry Farm this year and the kids had a ton of fun. I will say that I actually missed the DRY Arizona heat compared to how sticky I was in Cali.

The boys loved all the rides
Ian and Carson... obviously their mother's have good fashion sense!
And the best part of the whole trip for me was this Funnel Cake!!!!! I can't even remember how long it had been since I had one, and it was worth every calorie. Yummy We actually ate so much crap that day that Carson threw up on the way home, that's when you know you had a good time.And of course Jace didn't want to leave the park until he made his mark...LOL

Gotta love family vacations!

Chunky Monkey!

At 1 month Jace weighed a little over 11 lbs, and now at 2 months he weighs 14 lbs and 13oz! Chocolate milk is always going to put the pounds on you!

Chas' First Day At Pre-school

Chas was so excited for his first day of pre-school. In fact, when we pulled up and I parked the car he got mad because he thought I was going to stay. He said "I thought you were dropping me off"? I'm not sure our kids even know what 'separation anxiety' is. This is Chas and his friend Lucas.

What a great week for Carson

Carson and his cousin Cade both raced tonight and they both took 2nd for their age groups. My throat still hurts from cheering (yelling) the boys on. For some reason I think the louder I get the faster they should go. Seriously Carson has had a very memorable week; he started kindergarten, turned 5, won 2nd place at his BMX race, and tomorrow he'll have his birthday party! To be a kid again!

Carson's first day of school!

I can't believe Carson started kindergarten and I didn't even cry! He was very excited and loved his first day of school. And he looked pretty stinkin cute too.

This is Carson and his friend Isaiah.
