Great Strides for Easton


My cute nephew Easton was born in September and we found out three weeks later that he has Cystic Fibrosis. I have never known a lot about this disease but it has been hard to watch my sis-in-law adjust to taking care of this beautiful baby. In June we will be joining the walk to help in fundraising for finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. If you would like to donate or learn more you can click on the link on the side of my blog for great strides!

Friends in Need


We have some close friends in our neighborhood who just found out that he is in need of a liver transplant. We have gotten together an organization to host a fundraising garage sale where all proceeds will go to their family. Check out their blog livelongr.blogspot.com and if you have anything to donate, let me know!

More pictures of Emmri....There will probably be a lot of these...I have been stressing because she has not let me take her pictures. She does not like to be naked, so yesterday we went and got this cute diaper cover and today she slept like a champ! Yeah!!! She has been such a good baby so far, only waking up about twice during the night and rarely crying. We hope it lasts, but if not we still love her and wouldn't have it any other way!

I have to start off with this picture...Some might find this crazy, but I find it soooo cute! I never thought I would have my kids around guns but that all changed when Jared became an officer. Yes this is Korbin shooting a gun with his grandpa Joe! He was not scared at all and had so much fun! Bryton did not like it as much. Funny how she is so much like me! (I cannot get this pic to go bigger, sorry!)



A LOT has been going on so I decided it was finally time to blog.
First off our little girl started school! It is crazy to think that just yesterday I was pregnant with her and now she is in kindergarten. People always tell you to enjoy your kids because before you know it they are grown and gone. I am starting to beleive them because time just does not stop! Bryton is loving kindergarten and doing so well. We had to laugh the other night because we asked her if she liked school and she told us that she does but that she gets a little nervous because there are bees outside at recess and she is always scared that they are going to come in her classroom and sting her. That is our worry wart for you!
I took these pictures of her the morning before she left for her first day. I can't believe how grown up she looks!








This little monster is a different story! (I know this picture of him does not really fit being called a monster)He has been giving me a run for my money lately! I always tell Jared I don't know how people have a lot of kids because I am exhausted! Korbin is a MAJOR daddy's boy! Jared has been working a lot lately and so all Korbin does is cry for his dad! Pretty cute, but it gets old after a while! I decided that I was not going to give him naps anymore because he never goes to sleep at night. Wrong idea...after a few days of this he was so tired that all he did was throw fits the whole day. By dinner time I just decided to ignore him and make dinner. He had other ideas, he found himself a nice quite soft spot under the table and went to sleep. So cute.....needless to say we are back to having naps during the day!



My mom left me!!! Gasp! Two months before our baby is due she decides to move out of state! j/k We are really excited for her but it has been a crazy week trying to get things setteled and help her pack all her belongings in one car. I don't think you realize what you have until it is gone....It has been nice to always have a friend in the home when Jared is gone, an on call babysitter, and someone who would go shopping with me whenever I wanted! My poor kids I don't think, realize what has happened. Everytime they hear the washing machine start they run to the garage door thinking that Grandma is home! So sad! We had a little party for her before she left and it was fun to see all the people whose lives she has touched come to say goodbye. She truly is an amazing woman who has braved through so much. We wish her the best! (By the way, I hate pics of me when I am pregnant...yuck!!!)

We went this week and tried out the new splash park in Highland....Before we got there I was already ornrey because me being pregnant and hot do not mix very well, I am trying to deal with it!....The kids had a BLAST though and so in the end it made it all worth it. The water was so nice and cool and the kids just played for hours....free endless hours of fun. We will be taking Dad back to this one for sure!

Korbin would climb to the top of the rocks and then yell "ha ha...can't get me!" and then jump off and run away. Needless to say he fell down MANY times but no matter how he landed or if he got hurt he would keep on smiling and go play some more!


This one is hilarious to me... Bryton HATES water in her face, I am not sure if this was done on purpose or if she just walked up to it at the wrong time, but it didn't seem to bother her much.


Three boy cousins...Korbin is starting to love having boys to run around with and his cousins think its great because he does everything they say...for now!!!


And last but not least is this cute little gal...cousin Addy sure had fun too, she makes me excited to have another girl!
