We've completed our first week of school and I figured I better get these pictures posted. MaKady is going to the middle school and gets to ride a bus now. Meggan is in the 4th grade which means she's in the upper grade hall. Brock is in 1st grade so he goes to school everyday all day long. And Gracie is starting preschool this week. I can't believe how quickly the summer went by and I'm sure the school year will pass just as quick. They had a wonderful first week! It's the standard mom thought I can't believe how quickly they've grown. It's great to see them progress and I'm grateful we get to be a part of their lives. a little ps. Brock picked out his own outfit. Of a closet with new clothes in it, he picked his favorite things of summer to wear the first day, can you have too much camo?
Brock turned 7 in August and he is the biggest star wars fan I know. So it's a given that his cake is two light sabers. He wanted me to attempt making the millenium falcon like they did on ace of cakes but I don't think this mom is that brave just yet. Brock is an amazing son! He is great with his sisters and loves to play with them as long as they want to do boy stuff, none of that sissy girl stuff for him. He loves to build things, play ball and he love the computer and wii! We love you Brock and hope you have an amazing year being 7.
Dustin and I met at ISU almost 18 years ago in a class his dad told him not to bother taking! In May we will celebrate our 17th anniversary of being married in the Idaho Falls temple. Dustin is the most incredible man I know. I am inspired by how deeply he cares about being an awesome husband and amazing dad. He loves to work in the yard and make our home a great place to be. I can truly say time definetly flies by when your having fun.
Braxton
Our First! Our Angel!
These are pictures of our first child, Braxton. He was born June 14, 1996 and passed away September 23, 1996. He was born with breathing problems and eventually passed away from complications of pneumonia. I can't believe he would be 14. We miss our little angel and we are sure he is busy being a missionary in Heaven.
MaKady
Miss MaKady
MaKady, what can I say... She loves to cheer, read, write, shop and has just discovered the fun of blogging. Click on her picture and it will take you to her blog. She is loyal, kind and a great friend. She wears her heart on her sleeve, laughs when others laugh, cries when others cry. She has discovered the joy of making her own money. What a JOY she is in our family.
Meggan
Miss Meggan
Meggan is so much fun to describe. She always brings a smile to your face. She loves to dance, play soccer, read, and tease her brother and sisters. She thinks of others before herself. She loves a good joke. She has many hidden talents. Ask her to share them with you. Meggan is also a huge help around the house. Meggan would eat ice cream 3 times a day plus snacks and dessert. It is her favorite food, especially if there is a cherry on top. Meggan is great at making friends she wants everyone to feel included. Were glad she's part of our family.
Brock
Mr. Brock
Brock is all BOY! He only has two speeds fast and faster. He is so much fun to visit with, he always asks great questions. Brock loves to climb poles, walls, mountains, anything. Brock makes friends with everyone, people standing in line, cashiers, the girl who cuts his hair pretty much anyone who looks interesting. They are just friends he hasn't met yet. Brock loves to work with his dad. Brock also loves school. Brock loves tools and weapons so he defintely holds his own in this house of girls. He is so full of love. We are grateful for the addition he is to our family!
Gracie
Miss Gracie
Gracie is growing up so fast! What happened to my baby? Yes she gets away with more then the other kids because no matter what she will always be my baby. She is so determined "stubborn" to get what she wants, do what she wants and we hope that she is always determined for the right things. Gracie loves to play "makeover" and if none of her sisters want to play you can find her giving all of the dolls in our house new looks. Gracie is a sweetheart!
