Happy Halloween! We have made it a tradition to trick-or-treat with my Sister's kids.  They live in Daybreak, the best community to live in if you have kids.

Kayley started taking horse back riding lessons and absolutely loves it!! After bagging and begging we finally realized she wasn't just going through a faze.  Horses are just about all she thinks about and even dreams about at night.  I am always finding pictures of horses that she has drawn, even her home work gets horses drawn on them :) She particularly loves Pinto horses (like the one she is riding in the picture) these pictures were taken from her first lesson, It has been so fun to watch her be so passionate about something! She is always so excited for her next lesson and even counts down the days in between, than goes over what she accomplished with us several times :) Love that girl!!

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!
