January 2010

Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone is having a great 2010. Things have been super crazy with the kids. Corby loves basketball, Wii, and UNO. Carlee Jill loves her babies, coloring pictures and singing songs. Carlee is a great sister to both Corby and Cami. Cami Lynn just found her feet and loves to eat her toes! She is very much a mommy's girl and that is going to make it super hard for me to go back to work part-time the middle of February! Andrew and I have a new years resolution.........more date nights!

Happy Holidays!!

Corbin 5 years old

Cami 3 months old

Carlee 2 years old

Is it almost Christmas already?? There is still so much more shopping to do, parties to attend, Christmas cards to fill out......but.........this year Andrew and I are really trying to teach our children about the pure love of Christ and create a new tradition of service in our family the whole month of December. In the words of Dr. Seuss's Mr. Grinch,"Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store perhaps it means a little more."

We hope all our friends and family have a wonderful 2010. We love being a part of your lives.

Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!! Corbin and Carlee at grammy's house. Corby is a baseball player and Carlee is a lady bug. See below for Cami Lynn the unhappy pumpkin!

Carlee and her buddy Morgan at the Church Trunk or Treat. A picture is worth a thousand words especially when it comes to these two.

Cami Lynn was a pumpkin for her first Halloween and she did not like her costume.

Carlee modified her lady bug costume with a pink hat and at 2 1/2 years old, I think it is the perfect costume.......she really wanted to go in just her diaper!

Cami Lynn is 2 months old

Cami Lynn is growing up so fast!! She is super sweet and we kiss her all the time. Corbin and Carlee still adore her and love to hold her. I love her littleness, sweet noises and sideways smiles. She is still a little fussy.......at least for everyone but mommy!

Halloween Soup Time

I love Halloween and Halloween Soup. (Candy Corn, Peanut M&M's, Peanuts, Plain M&M's) It is an October staple in our house. The kids are excited to carve pumpkins and go to trunk or treat at the church! We are still deciding on Halloween Costumes......all I know is I am going as mommy this year.

Happy 35th Birthday Mommy!!

I turned 35 this October and this is a picture of my life the morning of my birthday!! I awoke to three beautiful children, a great husband, amazing friends, and the gospel in my home. This is the season my life is in and I am great with that. Cheyenne once shared a quote with me and I will remember it forever because it helps me appreciate every day...."Never be ashamed of the Season your life is in." Every year is a work in progress and I hope to make my 35th year of life an awesome one!

Cami Lynn's Blessing

It was such a special day!! My grandma and grandpa Green were able to come up from Silverdale to be here for Cami's blessing along with my parents and my brother and his family. The blessing was very precious and thank goodness Cami slept through the whole thing. To add to the beautiful day, Andrew accepted a call to serve as the new ward clerk of the Olympia first ward. Corbin will be the man of the house Sunday mornings helping me get the girls ready for church.
