Happy Birthday to my baby girl, Brynlei!!! Wow, I cannot believe that it has been five years since I had her. She has changed my life and our family's life so much!!!! She is totally girlie-girl and our little princess, but not afraid to be tough and wrestle or get dirty with the big boys . I love that she was born in February (the pink month), it fits her personality so much, she has such a big heart. She brings so much sweetness to our life. Her brothers are so protective of her and love her so much!!! I love that she is like a second mother to her brothers and helps me to keep them in line. I feel extremely grateful that Heavenly Father blessed us with this sweet little girl, who is five going on sixteen! We love you Brynlei!!! Happy Birthday!!

Okay, can I just say that my intentions are good to catch up but it really does seem overwhelming at the moment. So I will just enjoy the holiday season and if I get caught up then I do and if not well then 2011 will be my year:) Last week, Nate had Homicide training in Vegas and I was left to be the sole parent for the week. Can I just say how glad I was when he pulled into the driveway after the week was through? My kids are really pretty good kids and I really can't complain but it just helps me realize how grateful I am for Nate and for all that he does to help me out with all the many practices, appointments, concerts, rehearsals that come with having our crew of kids. Love him tons!!! Also, I really did enjoy just being with my kids and hanging out. We did a lot of fun holiday related things and with Nate being gone it also helped me to appreciate my kids and be grateful for the good kids that they are.

Wow, can I say just how much has happened over the past two months!!!!! Crazy how fast times flies and how I keep having good intentions to update. I know that it seems impossible to catch up, but catch up I will try before the end of 2010. We had a good Thanksgiving and we are busily getting ready for the Christmas season. Decorations, lights, trees, and etc are getting hung and up (even as I type:)) I had to take a break to at least update the background and music on the blog. So please don't forget about us and do keep checking back because I promise that there will be updates, I cannot however promise that they will be the most exciting thing but they will be there nonetheless. So for right now, I better get up off my butt and help my hubby and kids. Wishing all of you a very Happy (almost) December!!!!

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY PEYTON!!!

Wow, seriously can't believe how grown up you are getting. We love you so much and hope that you have an awesome day!!!!

This little princess totally rocks my world!! She brings a little (okay, a lot) of drama, sassiness, and pure sweetness that helps to balance us out from so much testosterone. So glad I am her mom!! (I just wish that she would stop growing up so fast:))

On our walk the other night, Brynlei said the cutest thing. She was riding her scooter up ahead of us and stopped. She rode back to us and said, "Look Mom it's beautiful, the clouds are smearing away." I love how kids view the world. I {heart} my kids. Just thought I would share.
