In Rememberence


On March 28th 2013, Bryan's Grandma, Gloria Kendall past away.  She was one of the kindest most loving women i have ever met.  She always made you feel so loved, and like you were the most important person in the world.  She was an amazing example of how a mother, Grandmother  and Christlike person should be. She will be missed so much!



It's hard to believe it's been a year since Jason passed away.  The Month of May was a hard month for our family.  Not only does it mark a year that he has been gone but it also would've been Jason and Larissas 10 year wedding anniversary.   
His oldest daughter Chloi was baptized a couple of weeks ago.  We are so proud of the decision she made and the beautiful girl she is becoming.  Although it broke our hearts that her Dad couldn't be there to baptize her, we couldn't help but feel his presence there with us.  Before he passed, he wrote his testimony in a Book Of Mormon  and got her a little necklace to be given to her on this day.  What a special gift for her to have :)

Winter in a Nutshell

We are having another baby!  We found out in November that i was pregnant with baby #4!  We had a few little scares at the beginning and didn't know if everything would be ok, but the baby and i are both healthy and well.  On Christmas i thought i lost the baby and had to make a trip to the ER right in the middle of Christmas dinner.  I found out that i had something called a subchorionic bleed. ( It's like a big blood clot next to the placenta).  Luckily the large amount of bleeding was caused from this and the baby and i were both fine.  It was pretty scary though.  I had one other incident of this happening but at least i knew this time what it was.  
As you can see from this ultrasound picture it is pretty obvious we are having a boy! ha ha.  I have to say i knew right from the beginning.  As far as the first few months of sickness go, i felt the same as i did when pregnant with  Landon.  My girls made me much sicker.  I guessed right with all 4 kids!
I am due July 15th and can't wait to meet the little guy!



Holidays!  I really struggled in my picture taking this winter.  I basically have 1 picture from each holiday.   I blame my laziness on this pregnancy :)

Halloween! 

Kaitlyn and Ashleys Birthday party!
On October 12th Kaitlyn turned 6 and Ashley 4.  We invited some family over for a little party!

Grandma Cindy made the girls cute little princess cakes!

 We decorated little pumpkins

Christmas!
I really only have a couple of pics from Christmas.  Yes that is really sad.



Landon doesn't look too thrilled to be meeting Santa. ha ha

Easter!


Randomness.
Here are a few of our fun days and sleepy days of winter.

My little soccer girls

and boy :)
He loves kicking the ball around and his coordination is actually pretty good for a one year old.

Playing at a bounce place with our cousins

I love that my kids are so close.  Landon loves to sit on his sisters laps and hang out with them.



 They also love to sit on their Daddy and wrestle.  Some days he feels like a jungle gym. :)

We had my brothers 3 kids over for a sleep over.  I don't think Bryan could move for 3 days after that. 

 I love that kids can fall asleep anywhere.  I feel like that some days :)
