Two happy girls, and one really happy boy!

Nilson is one happy boy! He was so excited to find out he will have a brother! We are all way excited to, but Nilson is just thrilled that he will get to share his room with his brother, and is already making big plans on all the stuff he will teach him.

Our little Devils...

Well this year Daddy picked out the kids costumes, but they were ways excited to wear the Sun Devil attire! Kayden was a basket ball player, Nilson was a football player, and Koley was the cheerleader. We had a fun night, just not many pictures because my camera died. But we had out ward trunk or treat, and Josh and Amber and their family came to that with us, and then we all went to Brook and Dallas and hung out with them and Blake and Martha. We had a great night.

Kayde filling in for Jennie

Jennie wouldn't update our blog from our trip so I'm doing it for her. New York was a blast and I would highly recommend it to anyone. We got to see alot of cool sites and places you see in the movies. Ground Zero and the Statue of Liberty were our favorites. It is very humbling and sobering to stand at those sites and reflect on the freedoms we enjoy and the represent.

No explination needed. It's neat to sit at her feet and reflect on our freedoms and blessings.

Fun picture of the Bull on Wall Street.

Ground Zero. They are in the process of constructing the new Freedom tower.

This is Brian and his dad. He was another winner for Two Minute Drill and also chose the New York game.

We had to go to the game. After all that's how we won the trip.

Time Square at night.

The Empire State building in the back ground and the Famous Macey's on 34th St is the closest building to the left.

Brooklyn Bridge. We lucked out and took a boat tour on a night they had fireworks.

Off to New York

Ya we are off to New York early tomorrow, I am so excited it is one place that I have really wanted to visit, and my awesome husband won us a vacation! I was so excited when he told me.
He won from KTAR radio station, we get to go to a Giants game while we are there.
The kids are in good care with Grandma and Grandpa so anyways I will take pictures and post when we get back.

Were so excited!

Well I know I have gone way to long without updating my blog. There is so much I need to update but will start by announcing our exciting news, Koley isn't going to be the youngest after all, we are expecting our 4th on April 8th. I am about 13 weeks, and really hoping that I will start filling better soon!!! That is my excuse for not keeping up on anything! Not just my blog, but my house has pretty much been a disaster the last 7 weeks, and my awesome husband has cooked every meal that we have. He is so awesome! The kids are excited but Nilson does NOT want another Sister! We can't wait to find out what we are having!!!

Finally!

Yeah! My sister (Brooklyn) has started a blog. Check it out at brooktimes.blogspot.com

First day of school...

My kids started school yesterday, crazy! I can't believe that the summer is already over. Kayden went into 3rd grade, and Nilson went into 1st. They were excited to start, but a little nervous since they were starting in a new school. Their first day went well , Nilsons favorite part was recess, and lunch, and Kaydens favorite was math:) They were all ready this morning before I even got up. I hope this last all year long! Ya right!!! Already to go.

My handsome boy.

She is so ready to leave!

Koley wanted a picture to!

Best budds!(MOST OF THE TIME)

Catching Up

Life has been crazy! First of all we are in the process of buying a house and have been staying with Rusty and Ashley. They have been so awesome and we are so thankful for them, and will be out of there hair soon! We love you Rusty and Ashley!

Well anyways, right now I am going to post some pictures of our anniversary. It was our 10th anniversary. (ah, we're so old!) We went to Las Vegas, we had tons of fun and it was so nice to get away. Love you Kayde thanks for the great time!!! Your the best, it has been an awesome, crazy 10 years!!!

Monkey child...

I can not keep Koley off of the table, counter, you name it she is up on top of it, yesterday I couldn't keep her off the kitchen table, and my table is tall, and she still manages to get up on top of it. Now today she moves a stool over to the counter and climbs up (I think it might be the candy, I thought would be out of her reach! ha,ha) Little monkey child!

Easter...

This year for Easter we were in Eagar, we were up there for most of the week, My Grandpa Brown past away the Sunday before Easter, and his funeral was on Thursday, we will miss Grandpa so much, but it is a great thing to know we will see him again, and to see my kids, and their faith, that they know they will see him again

We had Easter at Grandma Wilkins house, with Josh and Amber and their family, the kids had tons of fun!

Fast trip to Colorado...

Last week we went to Colorado for Hadley's blessing, it was a quick trip but we don't get to see Reese and Jamie and their family very often so it was good to see them, they live on a big ranch, and so the kids ran and played all day long, it was nice and warm on Saturday, but when we woke up on Sunday it was snowing outside, it was freezing! Driving through Denver was crazy, there were so many accidents and the rodes were bad so we decided to stop and get a motel since the boys flew back to go to work it was just Janet (kaydes mom), and I driving home with the kids. We had lots of fun and the kids did really well considering we were in the car SO long!

He doesn't deserve it now!

Last week we got a call for Nilsons teacher that he was going to be the student of the month, and they were having a little presentation on Friday, well later that day when I picked the kids up from school Kayden informed me that Nilson had to go to the principles office because he bit a kid, well talking to his teacher and Nilson he was on the playground and there was a boy not being nice to a little girl and so Nilson went over to help her, and the boy took Nilson down, well this boy was alot bigger than Nilson, and Nilson couldn't get him off and so he bit him! So we had to have a little talk about that.

Well then the next day ( the day he was getting his student of the month) we walked into the office, and they said "Oh, we have something for you that Nilson brought to school", and she pulled out a pocket knife! I couldn't believe it, well we were leaving for Colorado later that day, to go and see uncle Reese and Aunt Jamie on their ranch and Nilson thought he would need it there! Oh man boys will be boys!!!

Kaydens school program...

Kayden was in her school program, it was a play called, The Princess and the Piano, she was a princess and had a little solo part, she did so good, it was way cute. Grandma even brought her a rose, she was so glad they were there to watch her.

Suns game

Yes I am a little late on posting, since Valentines was a couple of weeks ago, life has been crazy, and I haven't had much time for blogging, so anyways here are some pictures of our valentines we went with Kaydes family to dinner and the Suns game, we had tons of fun!

Koley's nursery song...

Yesterday at church Kayde took Koley into the nursery to see how she would do, and she loved it. So now every time we ask her what she did in class this is what she does.

Cousins...

These are some pictures I have been wanting to post of Koley, and her cousins Rylenn, and Shelby, they are all just a few months apart. the first picture, is from left, Koley, Shelby (Brook, and Dallas), and Rylenn (Josh, and Ambers). They are so fun to watch with each other, it is so much fun to have girls so close in age, and I am sure they will always be good buddies!

Off to Kentucky...
