4 Generations!

I love that we were able to bless Berkley in Utah. It was really cool to be able to have our family there with us. I know it was over a year ago, but I just had to put this picture up- 4 generations!

Singing in the RAIN

Today was one of those days, we woke up with the rain, went to school in the rain, ate lunch with the rain, picked up kids in the rain, well you see where I am headed with this- we had a torrential down pour all day 6" so far, and it is still pouring!


Aspen has been asking me to go and play in the rain with her ever since I told her that I used to love to play in the rain when I was a little girl. So after dinner I asked if she wanted to go outside and play, Taven decided to come along and out we went. I tell you I haven't had so much fun playing in the rain ever! It reminded me of being a kid again, I just let all my silly stresses go and got drenched with my munchkins. We had a splashing water fight, races, and even took a trip across the street where the water was running up to Aspen's knee! I tell you if you havent played in the rain lately, go ahead and give it a try, it's worth it!

Expected Visitors

Ryans parents came out to visit us this Spring (I know I am a slacker- but give me credit for trying to catch up!) We had a lot of fun, just hangin around- Keli came with her little one Stetson, he and Berkley are only 5 weeks apart, so we hope they will grow up and be close cousins. The pictures of the babies in the stroller are the "Before the Walk" and "After the Walk" Thanks for coming out guys, it really means a lot!

Last Dance

These are a few pictures of Aspen on her last day of dance. She is done with dance for the moment, and is onto soccer in the fall- heaven help us!!!!

Summer is OVER!

We have had a great time this summer, going from place to place, but it is always nice to come home to my own house, MY OWN BED! (I can't tell you how much I have missed that) and my own life! We have decided to move this Saturday into a house that is down the street, so right now we are busy getting the kids ready for school, Ryan has already started school, and I am in charge of the packing- it is going pretty well, but annoying at the same time- why do I have so much stuff? This I will never understand, I don't need any of it. All I need is my family, my bed and some clothes- hey we already lived out of a suitcase all summer so I know we don't NEED any of the extra, let's be frank, CRAP! But alas, I seem to be attached to it all the same and am packing and unpacking it all up anyway. What a waste!

Catching UP!

I know it has been a while, a very long while! But I think I am ready to post a few things- where do I start? Since spring break we have done alot. Aspen is now officially 4 years old, I thought the day would never come. Berkley turned 1, and is still not walking. We moved to Amarillo for 6 weeks for a clerkship, then moved again to El Paso- where we are currently, until August when we will be heading to Utah for 2 weeks (for a much needed vacation!) So I'll see ya'll soon!

Berkley at 9 Months

Beautiful Berkley is quite a crazy girl these days. She is really social and wants to be in the middle of everything. She can now wave bye-bye and she also claps whenever anyone says yeah! It is just the cutest thing ever! She also gets a very triumphant look on her face when she has done something new- I can't believe that she is getting so big already!
