Best Friends

These two have such a bond. Sometimes they can't be in a room together, but most of the time, they can't stand to be away from each other. This was one such time when they decided they HAD to sit on the same chair for dinner 'because we love each other'. And they hugged each other just like this. How can you say no to that? It was so sweet.

4th of July

Ryan had the grand idea of making flag waffles for breakfast and couldn't stop thinking about it all night. When he woke up that morning, the first thing he said was "I can't quit thinking about those flag waffles." Then he got out of bed and headed straight for the grociery store to get the berries. They did turn out cute. And of course, he had to pick them up a little Fourth of July gift. So he got them goggles.

Handsome boy

I just put this in because he is so handsome in his church clothes.

Schnepps Farms Peach Festival

The kids have so much fun. We do the pumpkin festival in October and the Peach Festival in the spring. It's a little out of order, but that's okay, it was a fun day to remember.

Happy 3rd Birthday Aston and Clay

.







Aston is such a sweet boy and is just happy with anything, that sometimes he doesn't seem to get a lot of attention because he doesn't demand it. We decided that Aston needed to have a birthday party with friends and games and food and fun for the first time. He had a ball. His friend Clay just happens to have a birthday just days apart from Aston, so we combined and had a party for two birthday boys. It was such a fun day. Happy Birthday buddy!

Jaidyn's preschool group 2007-2008

Jaidyn's favorite thing to do

Jaidyn has always loved to look at books, but what better thing to do is there than read them to a doll that is the same size as you? Who needs friends?

One of my favorite things about babies

I find it so adorable when babies fall asleep where ever they are if they're tired. It's also very convenient. All you have to do is move them to their crib. But how cute is he???

Roan

He is so cute, I thought I'd show off his photo shoot.

About our family: We have been blessed to have 3 adorable kids. Jaidyn is our oldest and she will be 5 in November. She is full of energy and life. She always seems to be smiling (except when she's not) and keeps me on my toes. Aston is three and he is all boy (except that he likes to dress up in his sisters dress up clothes). He is easy going and usually just does his own thing. He jumps, climbs, and falls often. Roan is 9 months now (newborn in the picture). He is so sweet. He definitely has his own opinions already. But mostly, he just loves to sit and watch his brother and sister and sometimes he tries to join in. We moved back from San Diego last year to our hometown of Mesa. We miss San Diego (especially our friends), but it's been a good change for our family. We also love our friends here. As for me, I'm just enjoying not being pregnant!!

Christmas morning

Christmas is more exciting to me now than it ever was. It is so fun to watch the kids light up when they get their gifts. It is such a simple and pure happiness. If only life stayed that simple :)

We brought Roan home

He is such a beautiful baby. We got to bring him home just in time for Christmas. What more could we ask for for Christmas?
