Our little girl grew up too!

Abby just started Kindergarten a few weeks ago and is LOVING it so far! She has a few friends from church in her class and just made a new friend. Hailey, Truman and I walk her to school every morning. She gets excited to see what her teacher will be wearing :). She really likes her teacher. She often quotes her throughout the day and tells us about what she learned that day.  Our favorite quote so far, "My teacher says, zip it, lock it, put it in your pocket". Complete with actions!

Bye Bye baby, hello my little boy

I saw a post of my friends' the other day that I loved. She was speaking directly to her son. I have been really realizing lately how Truman is not much of a baby anymore. He is at such an adorable age! Discovering the world around him, learning to talk and walk and trying so hard to tell us or show us what he wants. This is for you Trubie...

You are becoming such a big boy!You just learned to walk about a month ago and now you are so fast! I love to watch your little scampering feet and your unsteady gait.  You often end up with a bruise somewhere on your head. You don't care much though.

You are discovering all the neat things that your body can do.

You love to eat fruit. Particularily strawberries, grapes and bananas. Nana was one of your first words.

You love to read books! You also love balls. You call them "boo"s and "baw"s.

Whenever you are outside you cary a rock in each hand. You often end up taking other people's or places rocks. We'll have to have a lesson on taking things that aren't ours soon! 

You often get picked on by your older sisters. You are learning to fend for yourselt though :)!

You love your dada so much! You say, "Dada!" and point to the stairs when you hear the garage door go up as Dada is walking in from work. We love you so much Truman and can't imagine our lives without you!

Fun in Utah this Summer

We spent a little over a month in Utah this summer. I love to get back there and spend time with our family and friends that we don't see on a regular basis. We had so much fun up at Grandpa Dean's property hanging out with cousin's and doing a lot of fishing. Look how proud Abby was of the fish she helped to catch. It was almost as big as her!

Happy 4th Birthday Hailey!!

I love this picture because it shows the two little steri strips that are holding a cut together on Hailey's chin.  The poor thing has had to have her face glued together more times than the amount of fingers she is holding up! She said to me the other day, "I fall alot!" It was pretty cute, but sad at the same time. :) Hopefully she'll outgrow this stage soon!

Hailey had so much fun with all of her new "Denver" friends!

Abby and Hailey are still really into Rapunzel. Hailey was determined to have a Tangled birthday party just like Abby did. These two have so much fun together..... mostly :)!

Even Flynn Rider attended the party!



Happy 1st Birthday Truman!

 We can't believe that Truman is already one year old! The time flew by! He is growing so much and we have loved every minute that he has been a part of our family. He is such a little boy!! He growls, yells in a low voice, loves rocks, balls and cars and thinks most animals say, "fruff fruff"! I just cant get enough of this little guy! He cracks us up all the time!

Here are pics from his birthday party in June. Better late than never! :) Our new dear Denver buddies, the Moats' came to the party along with our dear neighbors Mike and Adrianna. We couldn't get Truman to smile though.  He was a little overwhelmed. :)
