Wow! It has been awhile!

I can't believe how long it has been since I wrote something. So much as happened. We are now in Fort Worth, Tx and expecting our 4th child. We are still in the hotel and hope to be in a house before Christmas. I will have to post some pictures later.

Halloween

The kids had a wonderful Halloween and loved getting lots of candy. We went downtown to go trick-or-treating at the buisness which was fun and during the day. Kiana was Strawberry Shortcake, Caden was a mouse, Carsten was our little lion. Corey and I also dressed up in some of my Japanese outfits. It was fun to be all together.

Yellowstone Trip

Well we survived our latest trip to Yellowstone. We arrived to beautiful fall weather and colors but by the fourth day the weather changed dramatically and the temperature plummeted to 25 degrees. Luckily my sister-in-law (Jen) had given us a heads up on the weather forecast and we had brought our winter clothes. The kids loved playing together and enjoyed seeing all the natural wonders of Yellowstone.

Akyra's baby blessing in Denver

We started out our adventure with Ben, Jen, baby Lizzy, Ryan, and Jenny arriving at our house at 10:15 p.m. on Wed. night; Sharon and Aaron had passed through earlier that day on their way to Idaho to go camping. Corey and his brothers stayed up until 2:00 a.m. playing the Wii. Corey was so excited to finally have someone to play with him. Bruce and Joyce drove through the night and arrived Thursday morning around 10:00 a.m. We then loaded up and head out for Denver around 2:00 p.m. Everything was going smooth until we crossed into Colorado and our front tire on the drivers side exploded! Luckily Bruce and Joyce were following us and Corey was able to pull over without losing control. Kiana and Caden were excited to get out of the car and there just happened to be a dirt road that ran parallel to the freeway so we drove the truck on to the dirt road to change the tire and let the kids play. It is amazing what will entertain a 4 year old and a 2 year old; Grandma and a hill of red ants was all it took! We made it to Amy and Charles without any other problems and had a wonderful weekend. We went to an amazing fireworks display in the Bronco's stadium after a professional lacrosse game, compliments of Charles, who happened to get us the most amazing seats! Then on Sat. we lounged at the pool and ate pizza and finished the day with a barbecue at Charles parent's house. Sunday morning we all rushed to the church for Akyra's blessing and afterwards met at Amy and Charles club house for a wonderful lunch before we were on our way back to Rawlins. It was so nice to get together with everyone to celebrate the birth and blessing of baby Akyra, thanks to Amy and Charles for a wonderful weekend.

My first Blog

Well I can't believe I am doing this, but my sister-in-law Brittany's blog site inspired me to try. I don't really know what to say or even what I am doing for that matter. So this is going to be it for my first blog.
