Pray for Bostyn

Hey friends and family...sorry I have not been on here for a while. I have a special request...will you please remember a sweet 3 year old girl named Bostyn in your prayers. She is currently in the hospital with a severe infection that is affecting both of her eyes and is spreading. The Doctors are still trying to figure out exactly what is going on, but they have been able to rule out Staff Infection, which came as a huge relief to Emmett and Ashlee. My heart aches for her...I can't get her off my mind. I know that the power of prayer is so real and I ask you to join me in praying for this precious girl! WE LOVE YOU BOSTYN! Max is very concerned about you and wants you to know that he hopes you get better soon.

Bugged

Morgan tagged me...I'm supposed to name 10 things that bug me...here we go:

1. Not being able to shower until 4 in the afternoon some days.
2. A messy car...I don't know why I can't stay on top of it, but it really grosses me out some days.
3. Paying bills.
4. When my kids are all having a "whiney day" all at the same time. (Patience, Patience, Patience)
5. Not having enough time to spend with my love. We are definitely stretched too thin right now.
6. My food not being hot enough.
7. Gossip.
8. when my feet get rough. (I LOVE pedicures)
9. food that I'm attracted to is so fattening...frustrating!
10. not being in physical shape that I'd like to be. ( I'm really trying now, and I feel so much better)

I tag: Ashlee Raisor, Ashlee Corrigan, Hillari, Cordie, Sunny Winter, Tayli Nelson, Brit Bethers, Jess (My sis), Karen (my sis in law), and Jenn (my cousin)

Love this...

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Happy Happy Birthday Daddy Dear....

Frank's Birthday was yesterday...and we celebrated with our own little family! We had cake and gifts and then we were going to go bowling, but since Frank has to be up at 5 and we were both so tired we decided to save bowling for this weekend. A few things that I love about this pic...Max's cute personally wrapped gift for Daddy-2 of his cars that he wanted to give to Daddy so that they can play! And also the candles...those are the only thing I forgot at the store, so Frank got to be 13 this year!

Happy Birthday Honey...we sure love you and appreciate everything you do for our family!

Samson GRADUATES!

It was a glorious day last Friday the 9th of January. Samson gets to go to nights only with his brace for his clubfoot. It looks good as new. This first pic is off of my Dad's phone (kinda crappy quality), but it really is the only one that shows his clubfoot pretty good before it was casted. It's the left one with the hospital tag on it. (remember his poor head too) So SAD!

This is him last Friday with Dr. Holmes (Pediatric Orthopedic Specialist) and Sherry the coolest Assistant ever!!! Check out that beautiful foot...technology and his doctor are AMAZING!

I just love my chunky happy boy!
p.s. he is now 22 pounds.

fun in the SNOW!

We had a lot of fun in the snow the other day. Mary watched the babes and I took the BIG kids out in the snow. Fun Fun!

Max and Grace...funny little buddies!

I tried to take one of all of us, but Max came and tackled us at the last minute. Little stinker! This is the best I could get.

Thanks for the hot cocoa Mary!

Catching up...

Wow...sorry it's been a while. We've been busy enjoying Holiday festivities and spending time with our family. This is our family pic from Thanksgiving. We went to Star Valley this year and loved every minute! Thanks Grandma for always being such a great host...we love you.

Are you ready to see America's up and coming PLUS SIZE MODEL...

That's right ladies...he is currently 4 months old and weighing in at 20 lbs.-100th percentile!

Over Thanksgiving he discovered his tongue. We love it!

I still don't know how I feel about his new 'do'...the party in the front bald in the back look just had to go! He is still happy and smiley as ever.

Our sweet Cici girl just had her second birthday last month. Other than the messy face I love this pic that my sis in law took. A few milestones that Cecilia has hit...she is now potty trained and is building her vocabulary daily. She is becoming such an expressive talker...I love how her voice is constantly fluctuating! We love you Cici girl...better late than never right?
