Thanks and Giving

Thankful for Blessings

We hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful day out at Jacob and Amy's ranch. They are wonderful people, and we always have fun going to their beautiful home. Kiley loves to visit her best friend Kylie Kathleen, and both kids love to see the cows and horses! Amy prepared an amazing feast! It seriously looked like something out of a home and gardening magazine. She's awesome at stuff like that. Between Amy and my mom, all I had to prepare was rolls, thanks Golden Corral! Above is a slide show of our good time.

Other news is that Bryson could use some extra prayers. He is sick for the second time this month and back on steroids. We did everything in our power to keep him well, but when Kiley got sick, he managed to pick it up. Please, pray for him. If you go to the temple, put his name in. I'm trying everything to keep him healthier. I am even changing his baby bottles since I read that some are unsafe in the microwave. Ultimately, it is only Heavenly Father who can help. Thanks for the prayers.

What I love about you. . .

This post is dedicated to my family. I would like to say something I love about each of them.

My mom: Where do I start. She is my rock. She listens to all of my complaints, my joys, my sorrows, my excitments. She puts up with me no matter how grouchy I am. She is the first one I want to tell my news to. She loves my kids so much. She is a great Nana! The kids love her so much especially Ryan. I swear he would live with her if I would let him. I am grateful for her help on the days when I feel like I'm going crazy!

Chris: He is a fabulous husband, and I consider myself the luckiest wife in the world. He treats with respect. He always says "I love you" before he hangs up the phone with me. He is a super hard worker. He's an amazing dad. The kids adore him. He alwasys acts excited to see them and seems disappointed if they are all in bed when he gets home. He holds the priesthood, and that's amazing. Oh, did I mention, he's hot. I love his dimples and his nice body!

Kiley: She is so smart! She loves to learn and she is so kind to her brothers. She has been sick for a couple of days, and it is driving her crazy to not be with Bryson. She loves that baby. It is awesome to watch her teach Ryan new things, watch out for both of the boys, and always lend Mommy a hand. She loves to make up jokes and games. She is quite the in charge personality. She keeps us all in line.

Ryan: He is my ball of excitement! I love him so much. He is always full of fun ideas and things you never thought of. He is all boy. He loves Transformers, TMNT, Spiderman, helping dad, and building things. He keeps me running, but he is definately my entertainment.

Bryson: He is the sweetest baby in the world. He is only 6 months old, but he is always smiling. He constantly lets me know that he loves me. He reaches for me, gives kisses, and pinches my cheeks to show me he cares.

I love my family and I am so grateful for all they do for me. I don't do enough to show them everyday that I couldn't live without them. I have such a wonderful life because of the wonderful people I am blessed to know.

Hey everyone. Sorry it has been so long since I've posted.

First things first, Bryson has been quite sick for a couple of days. He has some sort of virus which has irritated his airway. He is back on steroids for a little while, hopefully, he will come off today. Please, keep him in your prayers. It is so scary not knowing what to do for him. The doctors here don't know enough about his condition, so they aren't extremely helpful. We saw the pulmonologist last Friday; he was full of pessimist ideas and worst case scenarios. I just need him to be okay, so please please keep in in your prayers and thoughts. I need that happy little boy more than life itself.


Everything else is fine. The fall tradition of going to the pumpkin patch was fun. This year the kids got to take a friend, so Raynee and Clint came with us. The kids were so cute in their matching shirts, and it was hillarious to hear all the whispers about me having two sets of twins and a baby. Do I look crazy?


The kids had a very happy Halloween. They are so cute! They went as Tinkerbell, Peter Pan, and a Lost Boy. I'm not a huge fan of Halloween, but I must admit, those kids make me melt. Now, if I only knew what to do with all that stinking candy.






Our house is coming along. We're grateful for that! Now that it has been sheet rocked it really looks like a house.
