Fall is in the air, and the leaves are coming down like crazy, but it makes for a great time for the kids.

I am one lucky lady.

It's great to be eight! Kayley is 8 years old and Lauren is 8 months old.  I love this picture!!

Our Beautiful lady Kayley turned 8 in August!

And was Baptized Sep 7th! She is getting so big!! I am so proud of her.

Our poor little baby was in the hospital with RSV for a few days.  She was a little champion through the whole thing.

We have taken the kids to mountains every chance we've had.  The seam to really love it there.

Our little guy Ryan turned 3 in April!

Wyatt turned 5 in June and started Kindergarten this year :)

Well it's been over a year now since I have posted...and so much has happened!  We moved out of  my parent's basement and into one of there rental homes,   And life has been a little overwhelming since we moved in. The home was in serious need of fixing up especially the kitchen as is was literally rotting! So we moved into the basement as the upstairs was under construction.  Once the living room and bedroom were done we moved upstairs, I had my forth baby shortly after! Since then the added on portion of the house was refinished and we were able spread out even more! Now a year latter we are still with out a kitchen, but are hopeful that we may have one by Christmas! It has been a big challenge especially with a family of six to cook for and feed, and I honestly haven't always handled the situation well. but as I think back I am grateful  to have had a place for my family to live so close to family, and for all the sacrifices that have been made to make this house a better place in the end. 

Here is Lauren! She was born January 2 2013.  It's hard to believe it's been nearly a year since this picture was taken!

What a cutie!!

 We went to Crystal Lake today.

 The kids were so exited to catch a fish.

 Yes Ryan is with out pants. He tripped and fell into a muddy puddle about ten min. after getting to our spot!  So we hung them out to dry over the fire.

 They wanted turn after turn holding their catch.  They were pretty proud.

 bundling up by the fire :)

 What a handsome man!!

Cute kids!!
