A higer plane

October 18th

Things are a lot more fun for Miss P now that she is able to explore things on the next level! Things that she never knew exhisted are now available for her own learning and entertainment. We have so much fun watching her discover new and wonderful things.

Storytime with April

October 16th

We don't always make it to storytime, but it is always much enjoyed. April is the best storytime girl ever and Ben is in his element when he is singing and dancing.

Peyton on the go

October 15th

Now that she can proficiently crawn and pull herself onto things opportunities for learning and exploration are endless, and so are the messes! It seems like it has been ages since I had a baby at this stage of life and I am having to get use to it all over again. She loves to empty the movis shelves and dump out anything that can be dumped, especially the dogs water and food. Peyt's most favorite thing though is the laptop, she likes to push all the buttons she can and watch those screens pop up. Somehow this time around I don't mind. Maybe it's because she's the last and I know these days will be over in the blink of an eye, or maybe it's because I've mellowed out quite a bit, whatever the reason, I'm going to cherish every moment with these little ones.

Luke and Ben

October 13th

Luke Sever is like part of our family. He has been around longer than Ben has and now these two are the best of buds.

Happy 8th Birthday Micah!!!

Micah is going to be baptized next month and he is very excited. He has also wanted a suit coat for a long time now and thanks to Colton McFarland and his growth spurt, we now have one! I love hand me downs! Micah is such a smart boy and is doing really well in school. I help in his class every Tuesday morning teaching language and it has been a joy getting to know all the kids in Micah's class. He is in the top group in his class and is continuing to excel in reading. He is an amazing brother to all of his siblings and is the most responsible kid I know. He wants to do what is right and wants others to do the same. Being honest is important to him. Micah is still advancing in Karate and doing very well at the piano. We love you Micah, Happy Birthday honey!

Movie night with the Stutzman kids

October 11th
The Stutzman family is fairly new to our ward, they were in it a few years ago for a short time. They bought a house that they have been remodeling and I offered my mad babysitting skills to help out all I could and now I have an amazing new friend. See how selfless service blesses us?! No, seriously, I feel like I have found an amazing lifetime friend in Yolawnda Stutzman. What's even better is that our kids get along really well and so do our husbands. I feel like they were made to be our friends!

So, our husbands were occupied elsewhere so we rented Speed Racer from the red box and popped some corn!

These two are the same age but Ethan gets along even better with Micah.

Her three girls to my one!

My 3 boys to her one!
