Updates

I can't put any pictures up yet because I don't have our family computer anymore. Our lovely Mac decided to crash and crash hard. We've pretty much lost everything. When I say everything I mean everything. I don't have any pics left - all the pics I've ever taken of my kids and family are all gone. I can't tell y'all how sad this makes me. I knew I didn't like the digital world for a reason. I miss the hard copy pics and knowing I had them. We were under warranty thankfully so we do get a new computer and we paid some to see what they could save and transfer over but not sure it's much. Songs, pictures, videos...etc lost. We are hoping to get the computer back by end of week and we'll know more.

I thought I could at least post about what has been going on and update with pics later if we have any.

Kaijsa started college last week and is enjoying it. She stays with a friend who lives by the college during the week to help us with gas expenses but we also think it's good for her. She is enjoying her class and doing quite well in it. Since it's a spring/summer class it's fast and short. I believe this class ends on June 4th and the next 2 classes will start June 7th. She will take July off so far and then start back up full force in Aug/Sept. She is also job hunting and hopes to find a job soon. We love you Kaijsa. We miss you while your gone and love those moments you're home. The little ones ask where she is all the time.

Kaitlyn is finishing up her classes or trying to since there isn't a computer. She is almost done and has done well this year. She finished soccer and we're trying to decide if she should or wants to play summer league. She will go to UT in July and spend a few weeks with Janet. She's been a big help around here and we love her. She just celebrated her 13th Birthday last Friday. My friend Mardi and I made her a cake that looked exactly like the book Eclipse. She won't let anyone touch or eat it. She's growing up into a beautiful young lady.

Kira comes to visit us next week and we're very excited. We are excited to have her here for Larry's birthday, Kai's birthday and Father's Day this year. I have a week off of vacation and the weather has been beautiful so hopefully she'll enjoy her time here with us. The little ones are so excited to see her again.

Kamden is busy being 4. His T-ball is over for spring and we're trying to decide what to sign him up for next. He's becoming a great big brother and a pesky little brother which I love to see. He's so much fun to have around. We should hear at end of July if he was accepted into Pre-K.

Kinsee Belle turned 3 on Saturday and is growing up so fast. She is so cute and is becoming quite the helper. She is a gymnast at heart although not in any official classes. She too may be in Pre-K this fall but we won't find out till end of July.

Kaileigh "Kai" is 11 months old and getting so big. She has the cutest personality and is so different from the other kids. She is pulling up on things and taking a few steps while holding on but not walking yet. She's my lazy one and so laid back so who knows when she'll start to walk. Kam and Kinsee were already walking by now but not Kai. She does things at her own pace and time. She has the cutest laugh and loves music. I can't believe she is almost 1. This year has gone by so fast.

Baby K is growing and doing well. We find out what the gender is on June 8th hopefully if baby cooperates. We have names for both so not really planning on either. Plus we've given everything away so it doesn't matter that way either. But the only room with room is Kamdens so a boy would be nice.

Larry is doing well and I'm doing ok too. We're just busy trying to organize and declutter the house, get things ready for Kira and summer time, take care of the kids, and work. We are progressing in getting our Temple Clearance so we can be sealed as a family finally. It feels like we've been working on this forever and now the end is in site. We have 1 more interview and then it's waiting on the ok. I truly hope it doesn't take long so we can go this summer while our family is all together. Larry and I celebrated 7 years of marriage on May 8th. We've had an eventful 7 years and have grown through all the ups and downs. We love eachother and look forward to making it forever.

Enjoy the last of school and start of summer!

Happy Birthday Mac!

It's been about 2 yrs since I've seen my niece McKenna, "Mac", and so I don't have any recent photos of her. She turned 12 on Mother's Day, May 9th, and I wanted to say a quick Happy Birthday to you! I love you Mac! I'm sorry I didn't call but I do love you. I hope you had a wonderful birthday and enjoy being a year older. I'm so excited for you to start Young Women's. You'll love it! You're turning into a beautiful young lady and have so much to look forward to. Enjoy each day and each moment. Love you and Happy Birthday!

Mother's Day

I know this is late but I want to wish a Happy Mother's Day to everyone. Even if you may not be a mother at this moment some day you will get the chance.

I miss my mom but was able to go to her graveside and visit with her. It's nice to go there and chat with her about what's going on in my life. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of my mom and wish she were here but I do know she is with me and my family. I love you mom and you're were such a great example for me. I hope I can be like you some day.

To Larry's mom, Annette, thank you. Thank you for being a wonderful mom and example as well. I wish we lived closer so we could chat and spend time together but please know we love you. It's sad when family is spread so far apart that we can't get together more often but love and prayers are with those we love.

I had a great Mother's Day. It happened to fall the day after my wedding anniversary, I'll post on that soon, so we did a couple of different things. We painted our bedroom green and I'm loving it. We took some family photos which was nice so y'all can see how big the little ones are getting. I got to talk to Kira and know that she is ok. We went to church were my little Kamden sang a song in Primary to the Mother's and it was adorable. He is such a cutie. All my kids are really. I can brag, it's Mother's Day. My dad fixed us all a fantastic meal and we ate till we couldn't eat any more. Thank you to my loving husband and kids for such a great day. They gave me a beautiful picture of Christ that I can't wait to hang up. Once I do I'll take a picture for y'all. I also got a cute pair of shoes and a cute purse.

Again, Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's both past, present, and future!
