Pictureless...for now.

I was hoping to put up some pictures from St. George, but I don't have any because our camera was stolen the last night we were there. Oh, well. It was a fun trip and we all loved the weather! Rhett had gotten a little sick, so Nate stayed inside with him and I took the fish, I mean girls, out to swim. It was super nice. Samantha in particular LOVES to swim and getting her out of the water is quite a difficult task. Haley and Kassidy also love to swim, but they are nearly as attached to the water as Samantha.
Nate had a great time golfing in Mesquite with my dad and brothers. The other highlight of being there was spending time with Melissa and Chris and their boys. We had so much fun playing the Wii! The girls are already asking when we will do that again.
One thing is for sure, after this trip I am ready for SPRING!

Preston's Homecoming!

Preston gets home from Lithuania on Friday night! We are all so excited. The kids all made him a bear with a missionary outfit at Build-A-Bear when we were there before Christmas. They can't wait to give it to him at the airport! He will be giving his "report" on Sunday in Preston. What a fun weekend we are going to have!

Here Comes #5!

Although most of you already know, we are expecting our 5th baby in August. I wanted to wait until I had been to the doctor to put it up here publicly. So, today was the appointment. Nate, Haley, Kassidy and Rhett all came with me to meet the new doctor. I was hoping to hear the heartbeat, but wasn't sure if I was far enough along to hear it. Well, I guess I am...we heard it! It was fun to see the kids faces as they tried to figure out what they were hearing. Kassidy couldn't get past the blue gel. She told me I needed to go lay down (after we got home) because I had the blue stuff on my tummy. They are all taking such good care of me (us)!

Oh, Kassidy!

Ok, so Kassidy says some of the funniest things. The two most recent had me laughting so hard, so I thought that I would share them with you. First, yesterday we had decided to go down to Preston for a while and after the kids were ready, I told Kassidy that she looked cute. She looked at me and said, "I know mom. I already sawd." Ok, so that is classic her.

The next funny moment came at mom and dad's. She was telling dad how to spell her name, so that he could write it down for her to copy. This is how she spelled it. "K-A-S-S-polka dot one-D-Y. It was so funny. I guess I had never really looked at an"i"that way!

Haley's 6!

Yesterday was Haley's 6th birthday. She had a great day. She took santa bags with treats in them to school for her class and then I took her shopping to pick out dinner and her cake. She is a girl with strong opinions, so I thought it would be best to let her choose, then I would get it right. However, I did do a good job picking out her presents because she loved them. She loves her High School Musical umbrella and her Disney Sing It Wii game. She is quite the little singer! All of my girls love the disney channel stars and movies and songs, so this game was a no brainer.

7and a half weeks and counting!

7 and a half weeks until Preston comes home from serving his mission in Lithuania! I am so excited! My kids are getting really excited too. I have been showing Rhett Preston's picture in hopes that when he gets here in January that Rhett will recognize him, at least a little!

I have been working on putting Preston's mission scrapbook together. It is sure fun, and gets us all the more excited to see him again! The cards and letters that he got before he left are so fun to see. It should be a pretty exciting time for some of his good "friends" too! I for one am excited to see what will happen there!

Samantha's Baptism

Samantha was baptized on September 6th, by her dad. It was a great day and we had so many wonderful friends and family there to share it with us.

She was lucky to be baptized at the Logan Tabernacle. Everytime we drive by it now Kassidy reminds us that "there is the tabernickle where Sami got baptized!"
