Update...

I got a calling in our ward today. I am going to be working in the primary. The bishop wasn't sure where because apparently they need LOTS of help. Hopefully, Heavenly Father will help Talia go to nursery so that I can actually fulfill my calling. If not...I guess Nate will have two kids all day long. YIKES!

What a face...

What can I say...that is an adorable face. You just can't argue with that!!!

Bedtime snack...

The kids had to have some yogurt before they got their baths. I took Talia's dress off because she is not the neatest eater in the family. Of course Noah had to take his shirt off too...but he said it was okay if he kept his pants on.

The Best Bakers...

Noah and Talia love to make cookies. We made snickerdoodles after church. They both have to hold on to the mixer at the same time. We couldn't possibly take turns...that would be too easy. Oh, and don't you worry...Noah "can't like" the cookies that we made. I guess Nate and I will end up eating all of them...too bad!!!

Best Friends...

Noah and Talia are such good friends. Even though they fight at times, I think this picture shows how much they love each other. I think this has to be one of my most favorite pictures of them yet.

Mommy's favorite time of day...

All of the kids took a nap at the same time on Saturday. They are so precious when they are sleeping...too bad it only lasts for such a short time.

One of the BIG boys...

Aidan is just like one of the big boys. Nate was so excited that I dressed him in Michigan colors for game day. I think he must be one of the cutest fans around.

My Bathtime Babies...

These three pictures are bathtime shots of the kids. My boys are extra handsome and my sweet girl is oh so pretty...even with some of the wildest bed hair around!

Hooray!!!

I am so proud!!! Our first potty victory....Tally went "poopie" in the potty. I am so excited. Too bad the one we are trying to potty train is Noah. Noah was really excited for Talia. He told her "Great Job Talia! Way to go!" I told him that now that Talia went maybe he would like to go but he said...NO. He said Talia is BIG but he is SMALL. I don't know what I am going to do with this kid. Maybe, I will have to glue his bum to the potty!

Update...

Nate got a new calling in our ward today. He was called to be the assistant Scout Master. He is really excited about working with the young men. Our current Scout Master is selling his house and possibly moving out of the ward. So...maybe Scout Master isn't far off.

Big Stuff...

Aidan is learning to get himself into a sitting position after being on his tummy. He has only gotten all the way up one time but he sure looks cute trying. He is growing up too fast for his Mommy!

Our nightly routine...

Nate and I read scriptures every night to the kids. Noah likes to read too...he usually reads at least one verse (with a little help from Daddy).

My Babies...

This is one of the rare photos of the kids. They are clean, dressed, and not crying. This doesn't happen very often. How cute are they?

What can I say...

I can't even tell you how much I love this face. He has to be the sweetest boy in the world. Just look at those eyes and that smile...Precious!!

Mr. Michigan

Nate and Noah watched the Michigan football game on Saturday. Noah showed his support to "his" team by wearing Daddy's hat. Nate has told him he can play football for Michigan when he gets BIG!

Messy Eater

Talia loves chicken nuggets with ketchup. The only thing she loves more is rubbing the ketchup all over her face!!

What A Smile

I just wish that you could hear the laugh that matches this smile. It is one of the best parts of my day!

Future Hall of Famer

Noah loves to play football...with his big boy football and his "ice cream bucket" helmet. Now that's pretty creative if you ask me!!

Sleepy Rider

Noah wouldn't take his shades off....even when he fell asleep. It was amusing watching his head bob up and down in those big glasses.

"Hells" Angels

Noah and Talia got to ride on Grandpa's motorcycle.....Hells Angels watch out!

Farmer Noah

Noah got to "drive" the tractor with Regan while they pulled out some shrubs at Granny's house. Boy did he think he was big stuff!

BIG BOY!!

Here is the latest pic of our little boy Aidan. We took this while we were driving down to Park City to have dinner with Grandpa and Aunt Tiffy, while the other two kids were fast asleep.

Sunday Night Tradition

Noah and Talia love popcorn. They each have to have their own bowl...at least they could share the chair.

SUGAR....YUMMY

Daddy taught the kids how to lick the beaters. They are pretty good at it. They hardly make a mess....hardly!!

The Latest...

Nathan and I just moved to Evanston, Wyoming. Nathan got a job teaching special education at the high school here. He is really liking the school, the students, and especially the PAYCHECK. They pay unbelievably well for teachers here in Wyoming. We feel especially blessed because now I can stay home with the kids. It is so much fun to actually have our evenings together as a family. We have moved into a two bedroom apartment. It is really small but we actually really like it. It feels like home which is priceless. Noah and Talia are sharing a room and Aidan is still bunking with us. I would love to have my own room back but since Aidan is still waking up at night it is easier for this lazy mom to just roll out of bed and get him rather than walk all the way to another room. The kids are growing up so fast and they are so imaginative. Noah pretends to be a cowboy and Talia is usually the cow. They are so special. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family.
