Oh baby!!!!

We are so excited to announce that we will be adding to our family by May 23,2014!!!!  I am 12 weeks pregnant.  After three miscarriages we feel so blessed and thank Heavenly Father for this new addition to our family.   The kids are soooo excited.  I have been very sick but will hopefully come out of it soon.  

UTAH

For the 4th of July, we went to Utah to visit Grandma Pam, Grandpa Dave, Aunt Breanne, Uncle Mike, and Evan and Noah. We spent over a week there and had so much fun! Brenton, Breanne, and Mike ran the Freedom Run 10K.  We watched the parade, went swimming, played in the splash pad, went to the museums, had a picnic up the canyon, met with family, and hung out.We love our Utah family!  We had a great time and miss our family when we are away! Here are some pics from our trip:

Disneyland!

I'm way behind on posts! This summer we took the kiddos to Disneyland for the 1st time!  They LOVED it! My parents, Judd, and Keith went too! We had a blast! We were pretty much there open-close 2 days. On our last day, we went to the beach for a couple of hours. We had a great time and created some good memories.Luckily, we were able to get Aimee on the CARS ride and Soarin' Over California One time each before the workers decided she wasn't tall enough to ride the bigger rides. It broke my heart when we tried to go on CARS again and they wouldn't let her. She was so bummed. Luckily, there were lots of rides she could still enjoy- and she did! Aimee liked the characters, but only from a distance- including the princesses and fairies. Bryson only wanted to stand in line and meet Lightning McQueen. So we did.  He loved meeting him and told us, "See, I told you he was real!". Bryson and Maims wanted to ride with grandpa on most of the rides. He's their favorite person in the world.  I didn't mind.  Bryson was such an adventurer, he even went on Splash Mountain and I took him on Space Mountain and he loved it.  He rode all the big rides. He surprised us all!  We can't wait to go back!

Sprinklers!

On Saturday we were watering the lawn and the kids decided to go play in the sprinklers.  They were still in their Jammies so I didn't care.  They had a fun time!  I sure do love these kids.  Our days aren't perfect,  but sometimes we have perfect little moments.

Bryson goes to school

Bryson started kindergarten on Monday, August 12, 2013.  He is going half day in the mornings.  On Sunday, before  church, Brenton gave him his first back to school blessing.  I am thankful Brenton honors his priesthood and can bless our family. I love my little Brysonator.  He is a wonderful boy and I am so proud of him. Aimee and I miss him while he is gone

Swimming

 The kids have been enjoying evenings in the pool.  It makes for great entertainment!  So glad we have this opportunity.  So grateful the kids have overcome their fears again and enjoy swimming!

Loss

You never get used to it.  Each loss hurts so much.  You aren't sure how to act,  what to feel, or what to do.  Yesterday I had my 2nd d and c operation.  It was my third miscarriage in a row.  We were for sure that we would be adding a sweet baby to our family in January....  Now we wait and see what happens next for us.  

Preschool graduation

This past school year Bryson has done a joy school with friends in our old ward.  It has been wonderful! Monday night we had a luau and graduation for the kids.  It was so fun and cute.  We had hawaiian haystacks and a little ceremony.  I am so proud of Bryson and all he has learned this past year.  Next up: kindergarten!

Soccer

Bryson and Aimee played league soccer for the past 6 weeks....  They did great!  Bryson played the previous 6 weeks as well.  My friend, Michelle , was the coach and her son played o the team too.  Tuesday night was their last practice and we had a party and awards for them.  They were so cute!!!

Anniversary

Besides being Mother's Day,  it was also our 6th anniversary!!!!  I love my wonderful husband and am so thankful he is mine.  We have had many ups and downs the last 6 years,  but we have become closer and stronger.  He spoiled me with more gifts and a date night to come!  

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day!  We spent the day cabin camping in Payson.  The kids and Brenton spoiled me with cute gifts a d took care of me all day long.  I am do blessed I be the mom to these two cute kiddos!!!!

Repeat.

I don't know how to write this post. I have so much to catch up on, so many good events. But all I can remember right now is this.  Another baby lost.  I am heartbroken. Again.  In some ways, this is easier to handle. It was expected. I knew it could happen again, though I hoped and prayed it wouldn't.  I have wonderful family and friends who have been so supportive. Flowers. Meals, Chocolate. Helping hands. I am so blessed.  Baby was due September 9th.  Baby was gone before we were able to see it.  Baby wouldn't come out on its own so I had a D and C on Friday February First.
