Updated Family Pictures...

New family pictures!  Thanks to Alli for practicing on us;  they turned out darling, and it is so fun to have updated pictures of everyone!

Puppet Show!

So, to update quickly...

We have been blessed with the opportunity to rent a home near my parents.  It is in the ward I grew up in and allows for so much space, really!  It is for sale, so I know it won't be forever, but for now we are enjoying the space and loving all of the room and fun things we can do.  One favorite thing is putting on puppet shows.  So funny!  This is one of the favorite places to sit, fish from, perform from, etc. 

We are loving it!  And grateful to call it home while we get to!

Hello!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. SEUSS!

This past Halloween, we dressed up as characters from The Cat in the Hat.  It was one of my favorite books when I was little, and I am blessed to have mischevious and trouble-making kids!  I found it on my phone and decided I should post it.  They turned out so cute and loved wearing their funny "hats" all night! 

And good timing as it was Dr. Suess' birthday yesterday...

McKenzi, Thing 1;  Emmalee, The Cat in the Hat;  Porter, Thing 2

And... 

This is why I usually help the kids pick out their clothes for the day.  This is what we wore yesterday for the better part of the day.  I told them to go change out of their "jammies" and this is what they came down in.  Silly!  Silly!  Silly!

Welcome, Welcome!

Welcome to our new blog!

All of the changes in our life have created a need for a new blog! I really do not feel it appropriate to write details to the open world or look back at where we have come from. From here on out, this is our life. This is what we are up to. This is what makes it bearable. I have so much to still be grateful for and so many reasons to smile!

(Please keep Brady and our family in your prayers. Although I have many blessing of strength and encouragement about me, there are still hard days for the kids and I, and our hearts never stop praying for Brady.)
