Kellen's First Night at the Hospital

I had my friend Rebecca Bledsoe come to the hospital and take pictures after Kellen was born. I love the precious moments and feelings that her camera captureed of my families interaction with our sweet baby boy! I will treasure these pictures and the tender memories of that first night.

Family Pictures 2010

We had Kam Taylor take our pictures again this year. They turned out amazing. Here are just a few!!!

We got a dog!

We did it!!!! We got a new dog!!! This is Sadie, she is an 11 month old Snorkie (Yorkie/ Schnauzer mix) The kids love her, and she does really well with them. We took her from a friend of Kamilles that needed to give her up. After the office a few weeks ago I told the kids we were taking a drive for a surprise, but I did not tell them what we were doing. They were going crazy, asking me tons of questions on the 1 1/2 drive. We meet Kamille & Papa Okelberry in Glenns Ferry to pick her up. When Kamille drove up, they were asking me where that dog came from? I told them "That is our dog!!! That is the surprise, we are getting a dog for you guys". Their faces lit up, it was fun to see them so excited.
We have alot to learn, she has some bad habits that we need to work on, but we are excited about the addition to our family.

Aryns's First day of Preschool

Our baby girl started preschool today!!!! I can not believe she is 4 and in school. We deciced the best option for Aryn and us was to get her in as a typical peer at Parkview Preschool. She had to go in for testing and test above level to qualify. I was told she did amazing and was a super star. We were extremely excited to hear that she did get in, and best of all that she would have Miss Kristi & Miss Tami for her teachers. She attends Monday and Wednesday afternoons. I look forward to seeing her grow and learn. She is so cute, we had to get a few pictures before I took her to school!

Taytens's First day of School

Wow, where has the time gone. Tayten started 1st grade today!!! He was super excited to go to school. He has Miss Flint for his teach, she seems like a great teacher. I walked him to his class where we found his new desk.

We also found his backback/coat cubby.



And of course I was a big baby. I love seeing him grow, and I love that he is so excited. I just hope the best for him. It is hard to imagine he will be gone all day. I hope that he does well in school, and really enjoys learning. I hope that he will make friends, and be a good example to those he is around. Man it is hard to loosen those apron strings and give him the freedom he needs. Love you Tayten, hope you have an awesome year!!!!!

Scooter Him Around!

Today Aryn says: "Mom, when the baby comes out of your tummy we should hook my scooter to my bike. Then we can put the baby on the bike and I can scooter him around." So precious!
