Tanners football season...

2010-11-14T17:25:00.000-07:00

We have had so much fun living so close to home! Especially during Tanners football season, we were able to make it to all of his games and he is so fun to watch! He is an awesome football player! I am so great full for Tanner and his example. My kids absolutely love their Uncle Tanner!!!

During one of the football games when he was on the sidelines we looked over and he was playing with a little boy, and then when the game was over and they ran out to sing the fight song he went and picked up the little boy and put him on his shoulders and ran out onto the field with him, that little boy was ALL smiles, it was so cute!!! That is just the person Tanner is!!! So awesome Love you Tanner!

This year for Halloween we had our ward trunk or treat, it was tons of fun! We had dinner, and then the kids went around and got tuns of candy. We have such a fun ward and are really enjoying Taylor!

The puppy is trying to get away from having to take pictures!!!! He is WAY to busy to be doing this:)

Nothing but trouble....

2010-10-31T18:29:00.001-07:00

Just follow the hand prints.....

"What it totally was not me!!!"

Bentley got into the fire one evening and was eating the ash....it was every were!!! Those blue eyes get him out of more trouble, cause when you start to get on him he looks up at you with them and you forgot what he just did.....well most of the time:)

And these are just for fun, they love playing outside at Grandmas house!!!

Koleys 4!!!

2010-09-24T20:25:00.000-07:00

This little girls birthday could not come fast enough! She asked everyday for 2 months if it was her birthday!!!
Her birthday was on Sunday so on Saturday we were going to Eagar for Marthas baby shower, so that evening we had a birthday party...a "Dora birthday party with balloons" that was her request. And Grandma once again made an awesome birthday cake!!!

Kaydens 11th Birthday...

2010-09-12T23:43:00.000-07:00

This year for Kaydens Birthday she wanted to go to Eagar and have it with family over there. So that's what we did. We had fun with both sets of Grandparents, and Josh and Amber and Blake and Martha. We had a yummy BBQ at Grandmas, and thanks to Grandma she always makes cute yummy cakes:) Kayden just requested Brown with green and blue, so this is what she came up with:) Thanks Grandma

This kid knows when there is candy around! It didn't take him long to realize there was some on the table!

I cannot believe I have an 11 year old!!!!

I am so great full for Kayden she is such a sweetheart! She would do anything for anyone! She is such a great example to her younger brothers and sister. I love you Kayden!

Finding frogs....

2010-08-20T16:33:00.001-07:00

So during the monsoons we were taken over by frogs or maybe they are toads...anyways the kids loved seeing how many they could catch. One Sunday when we went on a walk they caught 176!!! They were every were! We would walk out on our lawn and they would go crazy. I was a little creaped out when we would have to mow our lawn!

Haha Nilson will be so mad when he sees this picture, it was the day after scout day camp and he wore this every were. The ears are my favorite:)

One morning when I got up I kept finding frogs in my house...well come to find out Nilson brought a bunch in without me knowing and Bentley let them loose. We were finding them all over the house for days...dang boys!!!

Oops that frog was a gonner!

Haha I just smashed another frog!

Little miss...she would rather sit on the swing than mess with the frogs:)

umm...I think that might be another dead frog!

They were cute!

sorry the pics are random.

First day of school 2010...

2010-06-14T23:28:00.000-07:00

These are not the best pictures, but we were late for the first day of school so this is all I have... I can't believe another summer has come and gone! I had mixed feelings about that...but it is here and Kayden couldn't be happier, and Nilson well....not so much! He told me he only likes the first day and the last day of school. haha

*Kayden is in 5th grade

Santa visit 2009

2009-12-24T14:51:00.007-07:00

This year when we took the kids to see Santa I knew Koley, and Bentley wouldn't love it, but I have a picture of the kids with Santa every year and can't pass it up! These are going to be the fun ones to look back on:) Bentley did OK until Koley started screaming. Kayden stayed looking at the camera, and Nilson thought it was so funny:)

Here is a picture without the screaming, and all of them looking at the camera! Well sorta:) Merry Christmas everyone!

Koleys haircut...

2009-12-12T13:53:00.007-07:00

Well I chopped Koleys hair the other day. I ended up doing it myself, since I don't live buy my hair dresser cousins anymore, I new she wouldn't let a stranger she didn't know do it so with Kayde buy my side I did it. It is allot shorter but she loves it! Mandy, LeeAnne don't look to close:)!

Koley did her very own makeup today, can you tell:) She is for sale, any takers? Little stinker!!!

2009-11-06T09:36:00.007-07:00

Bentley has the craziest hair, we just cut it for the 3rd time! The 1st time Aunt Raynie did it them the 2nd time Nana did, I could not handle it any more, I couldn't even wait for Kayde to help so I did it myself, well with Koleys help:) It is so hard to get pictures of this kid so this is the best I could get.

I had to put this picture up, little mess.... like father like son!

Halloween 2009...

2009-11-03T07:50:00.011-07:00

This year we had a great Halloween, the kids were able to dress up twice this year and loved that. Nilson would live in his costume if I let him, Bentley not so much he didn't love his to be a bee!

The 24th we had our ward Trunk or Treat, and then went out Trick or Treating on Halloween, they now have WAY more candy then they need over a lifetime! I even told them I would pay them $$$ if I could have it, then I could go through it and keep the chocolate for me, and throw out the rest! They didn't love that idea. I hate having all this candy Koley thinks she can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! When I tell her NO she says, "but mom I love candy, I need to eat it cause its SOOOOO good!"

This year we had a Devil, Angel, Power Ranger, and a Bumble Bee, they all looked great and loved there costumes. Kayden and Koleys favorite part was getting their makeup, and Nilson loved his blue hair! He didn't want to wash it out, silly boy!

I can't believe that Halloween is over! This year has gone so fast! I wish time would slow down!!! My kids are getting to big and I am getting older:( Sometimes I wish I could freeze the time!Hope everyone had a good Halloween!

Such a boy!

Koley did this pose buy herself. It was so funny she said, "Mom this is how Angels are supposed to look." lol Yes she is deceiving in this costume:)

Like I said before, he was not crazy about his costume so it was hard to any pictures of him! This picture Kayden was standing behind me trying to get him to laugh, and from his face you can tell he was scared of her, it was pretty funny:)

I am so sad I don't have my camera, taking them with my cell phone they don't turn out very well but they will have to do until I can get my camera, sorry they are pretty fuzzy.

Random stuff...

2009-10-21T10:52:00.007-07:00

Last week we went to a fall festival, it was so fun, the weather was great, and they had some fun stuff, They had the coolest stuff that the kids could play on that were made by the Amish, they loved them!

Bentley 6 months...

2009-10-02T11:31:00.004-07:00

Bentley is just a few days over 6 months. I can't believe how time has flown, he has been so much fun since he is a little older and not so fussy! He is starting to sit up and will sit there for quite awhile until big sister comes around and thinks she needs to help and... well the pictures explain. He doesn't crawl any where he rolls, and is pretty good at it, he gets were he wants to go, I am a little worried he may never crawl! I don't know how much he weights he hasn't had his 6 month checkup with the move and everything, but at his 4 months he was over 16 lbs so he isn't tiny! Now if he would just start sleeping through the night!

Thanks sis!

We made it

2009-09-29T13:28:00.007-07:00

We made it to Ohio, and are loving it, it is beautiful, and I have a husband back! I love the area, there is everything, but it has the small town feeling. Here are some pictures we took driving around yesterday.

The kids feeding the ducks out our back door at the apartment, there is alligators in the pond just ask Koley:) We have to scare her from the water some how or she would be swimin, just a little scary, but the kids love looking out at the ducks and Canadian geese, that kayden thinks are swan. The temperature is cold today, it has been in the 70s and 80s, but the day we come it drops to the 50s. Fall is in the air.

Today was the kids first day of school. They were excited, and nervous. But they are now home and both met new friends and had a great day, they love their teachers and are excited to go tomorrow:)

Don't mind Koley in this picture, I don't know what she is doing!?

I don't have my camera charger so I have to use my phone, so my pictures aren't the best.

Happy Birthday Koley...

2009-09-20T15:45:00.010-07:00

Yesterday was Koleys 3rd birthday. I can't believe she is 3! She is such a fun girl, and she just makes us laugh all the time. She is such a good big sister to Bentley, and thinks she is his little mother. She misses her daddy, and can't wait to see him next week. Everyday she ask when we are going on the airplane with daddy?! She can't wait, and neither can I:)
We love you so much Koley!!!

Happy Birthday Kayden...

2009-09-11T15:51:00.006-07:00

Today is Kaydens birthday. I can't believe we have a 10 year old! I am starting to understand what people mean when they say, "enjoy them while their young, it goes buy fast!" Time has gone buy so fast! We have enjoyed Kayden from day one, she is such a fun kid, and could not ask for better, she is so responsible, and loves to help out, I don't know what I would do without her help, especially while Kayde has been gone! Kayden we love you so much, you are such a joy in our lives!!!!

The pictures are just random pictures, I had to go through pictures on my dads computer, and all my pictures are in storage so I just got some random ones, no particular order.

Right before we cut off her hair.

Kayden and Nilson

Yes, this is a real shiner! She fell out of the cart at Target right on her face! It was horrible, she had the blackest eye I have ever seen!

Kayden and Nilson. They are so little, crazy!!!

Oh Koley....

2009-09-08T07:00:00.004-07:00

This is Koleys nice black eye. The pictures are from my cell phone, so they are not the best. But anyways a couple weeks ago we were staying at the Arizona Grand Resort, and Koley went in to use the potty, well some how she slipped off the toilet and hit the bathtub, yes nice I know. Poor girl. She hates when I try to take a picture of it, so these pictures don't do justice, I had to try and trick her with my cell phone. Little stinker!

Ohio here we come...

2009-09-02T11:08:00.002-07:00

Well we found out last week that we are headed to Dayton Ohio! We are excited, especially to be back as a family again! It has been way to long away from Kayde! Kayde got their on Monday, and he will fly into phoenix the last weekend in September, then we will all fly out with him then, and have our car shipped out. We are just going to rent an apartment or house for a couple months, and then we will get a house. That way since we don't know the area we will have time to see were we want to live. Kayde said it is so pretty right now and I am so anxious to get out there! Also my dad served his mission in Ohio, so that was exciting!
We are going to miss everyone so much! And we are so great full for ALL our families help in everything! Thanks mom and dad for letting us live with you for the past 3 1/2 months, it has been so nice to spend time in Eagar before we take off.

Back to school and more

2009-08-12T09:57:00.010-07:00

Yes I know how horrible I have been posting on my blog. Life has been a little bit crazy lately! The summer has come and gone. My kids started school today. I can't believe it. In a way I am glad that time is going buy so fast. Soon we can be a family again! And my kids can have their dad back, and I can have my husband. It has been about 3 months! We have seen him a few times. Bentley and I was able to fly to California last week to see him but it will be 6 weeks since the other kids have seen him, he flies in for the weekend, then back to Chicago for 2 more weeks than he is finished with training. Then we will see what will happen from there.

I am so glad I can come and stay with my parents! Bentley loves his uncle Tanner and thinks he is his daddy. He is such a good dad, oh I mean uncle! The kids have had so much fun and are so excited to go to RV. It is weird to see all the teachers that taught when I went to school. Nilson is in the 2nd grade and has Mr. Hardey, and Kayden is in the 4th and has Mr. Sassorini (who Kayde and I both had).

I am so excited for this little adventure in our lives, and for the job that Kayde has. He is so awesome and I am so great full for the husband and father he is. Can't wait to be back together again, I love you bunches Kayde!

Bentley on his blessing day...

2009-05-28T12:40:00.005-07:00

We blessed Bentley on May 10th. It was such a sweat blessing and his daddy did so well! It was so awesome to be able to do it on Mothers day. He is such a fun baby! I just love this little man! I do have other kids I promise! I will do some updating on stuff soon. Thanks Amber for taking some cute pictures of our little guy!

I love baby feet!

Notice the bulging buttons:)

They are such good buds, I just had to add this picture! Ry Ry, and Koley.

My baby boy is growing so fast...

2009-05-11T08:15:00.003-07:00

Bentley had his 1 month well check apt. last week. He is growing so FAST! He weighed 12 lbs 4 oz. and was 22 inches long. He is such a good baby, he loves to be talked to and smiles all the time. He loves his brother and sisters what great entertainment they are...

Easter

2009-04-21T10:30:00.008-07:00

Here are some pictures of Easter morning. The girls loved their dresses, thanks to Megan and her family! They made these dresses for all the little girls at their wedding, and so my girls used them for Easter, it worked out great, and I love them.

Bentley Crew Wilkins

2009-04-09T08:14:00.021-07:00

Bentley Crew Wilkins
March 30 at 3:07 p.m.
8lbs 5oz
20 1/2 in. long

Well he is here and we are all having so much fun with him. Everything went good. We had to stay in the hospital longer than expected because I was on heparin throughout my pregnancy and so they needed to watch me for a few days after delivery. So we were finally able to go home on Thursday afternoon. And we were ready to be home! Everything is going good, I am so glad not to have to be on my heparin injections anymore. They are weening me off with an oral medication and so I don't have to have the shots twice a day. Bentley is such a good baby he only cries when he is hungry. And he has patience like his mom, when he is hungry he wants it right then! He came out looking for something to eat. When we left the hospital he had lost down to 7lb 14oz. And at his doctors apt on Tuesday he was 8lb 6oz and 21 inches long. So he is past his birth weight.
We are so glad he has joined our family and the sweet spirit he brings to our home.

2009-01-09T11:29:00.000-07:00

Wow I have so much catching up to do! But before all that today is Kaydes Birthday and I wanted to tell him how much I love him and how lucky I am to have him! I am so lucky to have such an awesome husband! He is such a hard worker, and would do anything for his family! I love you babe and hope you have a good day!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Two happy girls, and one really happy boy!

2008-11-07T11:58:00.004-07:00

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...

2008-11-06T13:40:00.005-07:00

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

2008-10-09T08:46:00.017-07:00

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.

New York skyline from Central Park.

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

2008-10-03T21:30:00.004-07:00

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!

2008-10-02T07:26:00.003-07:00

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!

2008-09-24T12:13:00.002-07:00

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

First day of school...

2008-08-07T12:56:00.009-07:00

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

2008-07-06T14:27:00.012-07:00

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...

2008-04-15T12:06:00.007-07:00

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...

2008-03-28T11:35:00.008-07:00

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...

2008-03-09T16:15:00.004-07:00

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!

2008-03-09T15:42:00.002-07:00

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!!!

Koley's nursery song...

2008-01-28T20:06:00.000-07:00

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...

2008-01-22T22:33:00.000-07:00

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).

Last night they recieved the email, saying he would be serving in Louisville Kentucky and will leave on Monday morning. That was my Grandma and Grandpa Browns mission when they served together.

2008-01-13T17:18:00.001-07:00

Silly boys! We went to the park for Nilsons birthday with our families. He wanted a transformer birthday party. We had fun, and he got all kinds of fun stuff.

He had some help unwrapping his presents.

Getting ready to blow out his birthday candles.

They are so excited to be taking this picture!

They are good buddies!

It is crazy to think how fast the last six years have gone by! He has always been such a fun kid, he has been my little buddy. I had such a hard time sending him to school, because we had so much fun together during the day. But he was my baby for 5 years, until Koley came along. We love you Nilson you are so much fun for mom and dad!!!

Happy birthday babe...

2008-01-09T19:54:00.000-07:00

Today was kaydes birthday, we went to dinner and a movie thanks to his mom for keeping the kids:) Then they were waiting for us to get home so that Kayde could open his presents. I think they were more excited then he was. He had been telling me not to get him ANYTHING, but ya right like I'm not going to take advantage of shopping! So we surprised him with a new set of golf clubs, and a few other things that the kids picked out, we surprised him good, and the kids were so excited, when he saw the golf clubs Nilson said, "so dad when are we going golfing?" he loves to go with his dad.

I love you Babe. Hope you had a happy Birthday!!!

We love the rain...

2007-12-01T14:35:00.000-07:00

It has been raining for the past two days and I love it!!! It makes it fill like winter, Koley likes it to she went and got the step stool that she sees Kayden and Nilson use and put it at our window by our front door and just watched the rain outside.

They found it!

2007-11-21T15:22:00.000-07:00

Well they found my car, I don't know if that is good or bad news, I don't know what is going to happen but everything was stripped out of it. They pulled the DVD player out, they stole absolutely EVERYTHING that was in it even Kaydes scriptures that were left in there, I hope they fill bad when they realize what they were! Anyways we will see what will happen now and what insurance will do for us. Well have a happy Thanksgiving!!!

Is my car long gone!?!?!

2007-11-14T14:56:00.001-07:00

well yesterday I went to do a bunch of shopping, I wanted to get some of my Christmas shopping out of the way, so I went several places well my very last stop was walmart, and when I finished in there I went to get my keys before I walked out to my car, and couldn't find them anywhere, my sister Brooklyn was with me, and we searched every were and couldn't find them so we went to customer service to see if anyone turned them in. But no luck there, so I called Kayde to come and bring me his set of keys, so we walked out to the parking lot to put Brooklyns stuff in her car we had parked right next to each other and when we got to our spot my car was GONE!!! Someone stole my brand new Tahoe that I have only had for 3 months! Plus a bunch of stuff inside of it, I am so sad!!! The police watched the servalence cameras in the parking lot and saw 2 guys get in but they really couldn't make out who they were, so they are watching them from inside the store, anyways it has been 24 hours and we still haven't herd anything so who knows they probably took it across the border or something!!! Good thing we have good insurance.

Kayden playing basketball...

2007-11-08T19:21:00.000-07:00

This is kaydens buddy Micah, they were so excited to find out they were on the same team.

Kayden is playing basketball, she is so fun to watch. She is the only girl on her team, and she LOVES it! She chose to play basketball over dance, and boy was her dad happy!!!

Angel, Transformer, and Witch...

2007-11-01T17:07:00.001-07:00

my pictures didn't turn out and so I had to take some quick ones today, and Koley didn't want to take any more pictures or wear the wig any more, she had had it!!!

So tired...

2007-11-01T16:53:00.000-07:00

Last night when we got home from our trunk or treat my kids fell asleep on the way home, and when I got them in the house, I told them to go to bed and I would come and tuck them in, well when I went to tuck Nilson in he wasn't in his bed so I went searching for him and this is were I found him.

My three little pumpkins...

Fall Break...

2007-10-27T10:59:00.000-07:00

Last week we had fall break, so we went to Eagar and played at Nana and Papas house. The kids had so much fun!! It was nice to get away and the kids love going to Eagar! The weather was great, so the kids lived outside!!!

Getting around on her own two feet!

2007-10-11T11:13:00.000-07:00

Well Koley is walking way more than she is crawling, it is great!!! Now the knees on her pants aren't always dirty! It is so fun to watch her, she is just growing SO fast, I fill like I just had her yesterday. It is also fun to watch her big sister, and brother interact with her, they are so good with her and look after her so much. While they are at school, she goes around the house looking for them, and then realizes that it is just me at home, and follows me around saying, mama,mama... And then when Kayden and Nilson get home from school she is so excited to see them, and so am I!!!

A little about our family

2007-10-04T20:58:00.000-07:00

Well I have officially joined the blogging world (thanks to Raynie). I guess I will just start with a little family update...

Kayde and I have now been married for nine and a half years, time fly's when your havin' fun! We have three little hukkleberries of our own.

Kayden just turned eight Sept.11th. She is our little spunky thing. She is in second grade and loving every minute of it.

Denilson is five and a half now and in kidergarten. He is his sister's little protector (so he thinks...)

Koley Paige just turned the big one, and it makes me sad to think my baby is growing so fast. She just learned to walk, and it is funny to see her stare at her feet as she works so hard not to fall. She can always bring a smile to your face, even though she is turning into one sassy little girl!

Kayde and I are just living life to our fullest trying to get in every moment with our kids. It is amazing to see what unfolds each new day. Kayde and his brother Josh run their own buisness now, and they are doing a dang good job at it. Koley and I have turned into quite the shopping buddie's since my two kids are in school. We also try to get together to hang out with my sisters and their little ones'. Now that we have this blog, I will try my hardest to update you all on our new happenings'...
