Finn's 8th birthday

I can't believe that I have an eight year old !  This is what is going on with Finn:

He set the goal to read the Book of Mormon before he is baptized and completed it!

He is thrilled to be part of the Cub Scout program. 

He is so SMART!  He loves to read and write and has such talent when it comes to analytical thinking and problem solving. 

More fun in Utah

I loved being able to see my grandma and grandpa and Lyndsay and her kids. I don't get anywhere close to enough time with extended family. I loved being able to introduce Brody to everyone.

When we went to Morgan, Keegan was so funny! He found Grandma Colleen's mop and entertained himself for hours. Grandma got to love on Brody and hold him as she did in the dream she had while I was pregnant with him.

Brody at 5 months

This is my last baby and I am very aware of the milestones that are passing by. Brody is an Angel sent to our family. He brought the drama with him- all the worries about his kidney and small size. On top of those things he came early and extra small!  This year has been the most difficult of my life as a mother. I know Brody was sent by my Heavenly Father who has something specific to teach me...a lot of things really!  I love this child as I love all my children. They are my jewels.

Brody is the sweetest little baby ever. Being born considered premie, he is behind a little bit on a few things. At five months he's just barely discovering his feet and he loves it when I snuggle his feet with my eyes. He has had a little cold the last few weeks and the poor guy just can't quit coughing.

Trip to Utah

In September I took " the babies" to Utah for a quick visit. When I say quick, I MEAN quick!  5 days was really crazy!  Yaya and I made a day trip to St George to meet up with Brinn. It was so good to see her and meet her two youngest as well as catch up with her family.

Grandma Sharlene and the Watson's got to love on the boys for a day and we all really enjoyed that. Keegan loved the attention from Aunt Amanda. Being able to see Alisa, grandma, grandpa, great grandma Alene, April, Nate and Soren was great!

July 2012

July in Maryland is hot hot hot. We spent a lot of it outside playing in the water and eating as many Popsicles as we could!

Savvy's 4th Birthday

Notice the frosting covering the back of Keegan's head... He kept trying to smuggle some cake and ended up stumbling INTO the cake!
