THE BEGINNING

Ok, since I am the ONLY one in my family without our own blog page, I decided I better get with it and get going on one. Plus, I figure the amount of time that I use to create and send emails is probably more than if I just posted it here. So, hopefully I will be able to keep everyone up to date on our family happenings! Well, here is our family. We took this picture in September up in Wyoming. As you can see, Parker (our 3 year old) has a nice scrape on his forehead, nose and mouth. I love this picture because that is a perfect depiction of his personality. He is always going 100 miles an hour and is pretty much fearless. I figure we are going to be spending a lot of money fixing this kids injuries. At the same time he is the most loving and tender hearted kid...always surprising me by saying "mommy, I love you sooooooo much!" or "Mommy, you're my best friend." It's the greatest thing to hear after a crazy day at home when you start to wonder if you are doing anything right! Mason (our 4 year old) is getting to be so big! His favorite thing to do now is spell things out. He's even trying to teach himself how to read! He always asks me to help him sound things out and gets really mad when you just tell him what it says. He is also my little helper. He loves to help me in the kitchen, to clean the house and especially to help out with his baby sister. He absolutely adores her and I'm sure will be the big brother that will be very protective as she grows older. Sophi is the sweetest thing. Even when she had pneumonia a couple of weeks ago and was feeling so sick, if you talked to her she would give you a huge grin. She's growing so big and has so many layers of chub!! Her brothers think she is the coolest thing EVER! Dan is still working for a home builder and really enjoys his job. It has been really nice being back here in the west so close to family. I play at home..I mean stay at home. With my kids, there is a lot of play time....and there is a lot of work! But I love it and wouldn't want anything else. We are loving our new house and I have kept busy getting it decorated and feeling homey. Well, that is us. I'm sure I have lots more to say (don't I always?), but that will have to come at a later time. Hope you enjoy our blog!

Hey sissy! Way to jump aboard. I have to say, I had my doubts, you being such the non-conformist that you are, but it is just too much fun to brag about your kids isn't it? Give those cuties hugs and kisses from aunt angie.
