Beautiful Allie

Here are some pictures of our most beautiful little Alex Gracie (on the left in both). We miss you more than words can say little one. Heaven must have needed another most precious angel. We can't wait to see you again one day.

Our New Little Bundle of Joy

Little Aspen Paisley was born the morning of September 10th after a REALLY long night :) She weighed 5 lbs. 13 oz and was 19 inches of pure perfection! She has brought so much happiness to our family in the 4 short days she has been on this earth. What a sweet blessing straight from Heaven! Looking at her we wonder if she can still see beyond the veil, if a bit of her is still hanging on to heaven as long as she can? She is such a sweet little spirit and we can't wait to enjoy all the moments ahead with her!

First Days of School and Fall Fun!

Maddie started school on the 25th of August in her pretty aqua colored dress.....and Kenzie started pre-school September 3 in her cute little skirt and yellow skirt. They were both SOOO excited to go. We'll see in a few hours how Kenzie liked her first day, and Maddie LOVES going to school every day (besides the waking up early!)! It's kinda weird not having any kids at home with me.....but that won't last long! The baby is due on the 25th and will more than likely come before then....so no more alone time for me!

Maddie and Kenzie both signed up for soccer this fall and it is so much fun for them! Kenzie kicked the ball in the net 2 times her first game and didn't quite know what to think about it...pretty cute. Maddie likes to get her foot on the ball but once she gets close to the net she lets other kids take it. :)

The camo picture was of course with Andy.....they love to go with him when he looks for deer and elk....and I love for them to go with him, he is so good with them, hence the reason they are such little Daddy's girls! I wish he would have hopped in the picture with them!

Swim swim swim

The girls had so much fun in swimming lessons this year! Maddie was moved to the big, deep pool and learned how to do the back float and swim with a kickboard while Kenzie was in the smaller pool learning how to do a back float and front float, and the go all the way under water. I was so proud of them on the last day when I was able to go watch what they had learned. Now that the lessons have ended for the year the girls are counting down until they start next year.

Ever summer my mom, sisters and I try to take the kids somewhere fun for a get-together. Last week we were all able to meet in Green River at the water park and let the kids spend most of the day playing in the water. It was such a hot,absolutely perfect day to play in the water. When it was time to go home we had some pretty tired kids that slept the whole way home and I'm guessing everyone slept well that night!

Camping Trip to the Gorge

We took a camping trip to the Flaming Gorge a couple of weeks ago and the girls were wanting so badly to catch some crawdad's. So Andy threw the traps out and the next morning we woke up to 3 traps filled with crawdad's. Kenzie was brave and held one but Maddie wasn't quite sure if she wanted to get anywhere near one! When it was time to leave we took home a 5 gallon bucket full and put most of them in our creek and Maddie kept 4 of them to put in her fish tank. What a fun trip!

Here are a few of the only pictures I took for the 4th of July. I forgot to take my camera everywhere that day except for the fireworks.....so here they are!
