4 years old!


We celebrated Cannon’s 4th birthday, I can hardly believe it.   He kept telling me he wanted a Star Wars birthday and that is all he wanted, so he got it.  We had a lot of fun with his new toys and he even helped me decorate the cake which he loved.  He truly has a soft heart and brings such joy to all of us.  He continues to give the best hugs and kisses and I know someday these will stop and oh how I will miss them.  He enjoys all the normal boy things, running, racing cars, and playing bad guy good guy in whichever form it takes.  He loves to help with just about anything you ask taking out dirty diapers, helping to cooking his favorite breakfast pancakes or helping pour milk on his cereal his second favorite breakfast.  He loves chocolate milk and any type of candy and chips he can get his hands on.  I have no idea where he gets that from:)   He recently started to love to swing on the swings at the park near our house, which is a very brave thing for him.  He has a great imagination and loves to draw pictures of people, our family, cars and all sorts of things that mostly I am not sure what it is until he tells me.  We are so happy to have this sweet boy in our family.

Happy Easter!

We tried hard to get some good pictures of Easter, but either the boys wanted nothing to do with it or Kylie didn't....so this is what we got :)


The boys loved dying Easter eggs this year! 




Matthew's smile says it all :)

Sweet Kids

The boys really have been loving on their little sister.  Matthew's favorite thing to do is to rub her sweet little head because "it's fuzzy mom".  Cannon wants to hold her little hand and give her kisses.  It is so sweet to see these rambunctious boys show their "love" side.

The family visit

We don't have a name yet soooo...  The baby was able to be out of NICU today and be in the room with Ariel and nick.  We are so thankful she is doing so well!  We took the boys with us to see her too.  I even got to hold her today.  She is so sweet and it truly felt awesome to get to hold her.

Off oxygen!!

Yea today she is off the oxygen and only has one more treatment of antibiotic tonight.  They are hoping to have her in a regular bed in the NICU by tomorrow.  Eric got to hold and feed her today so we are pretty excited.  Thank you for prayers!!

Look at this sweet face, just look at it:).
