Catching up!!

This is my sweet Charlie. He turned 4 a couple months ago. He is so lovable.
I love Charlie's smile.
His gorgeous brown eyes.
His spontaneous hugs and kisses.
The way he adores Meg.
Charlie is super smart. He always wants to keep up with his big sisters.










Charlie played soccer this year. He was most excited about the uniforms and the after-game snacks.

















Here I am trying to convince him to go back in the game.


















This is my baby girl Meg. She had her first birthday in August. She is my tiny, funny, happy, adorable little lady.

She has the prettiest eyes.

She only weighed 15 lbs at her 1 year appointment and now, at 15 1/2 months she is up to a whopping 17! She is still in the infant car seat.

She hasn't developed a need for walking quite yet. She will take a few steps but crawling is her preferred method of mobility.


She is a great talker though! Her vocabulary is growing everyday as she loves to mimic what she hears. Her favorite words are "milk", "uh-oh", "no-no", "papa".

She will only give her kisses to Charlie.


















This is my gorgeous firstborn, Paige. She turned 9 in October. Paige is a very determined little girl. She is very smart and excels at anything she tries. She is still thriving in piano. She started gymnastics this fall and has already moved up a level. She got a ukulele for her birthday from Auntie Annie and gets very focused on learning her chords. She is my right hand man. I know if I ask Paige to do something, it will get done well.













Haily did not have a birthday recently but I could not leave her out! My blond haired/blue eyed beauty. She recently won an art contest at her school. Her project is now going forward to the regional level.









Haily is such a sweetheart. She has a tiny little high voice. She LOVES to laugh and has recently developed the love of reading! She is my little snuggler. She is enjoying gymnastics as well.



















Here we are on Halloween. Meg was a ladybug, Haily a zombie, Paige a Gothic rag doll, and Charlie chose this awesome astronaut costume but decided to go as Ironman instead.













Jon and I attended a fun amazing race party this year. We had a super fun team!



















I was asked to MC the talent show at our ward Christmas party this year. My friend Gingy helped me demonstrate several different methods of applause. It was fun dressing so festive!

Here we are discovering who has a talent for shaking their booty. Turns out the winner cheated. Sad. That kid is on my bad list.













Here is my lovely co-host, Michelle, in her stirrup pants and sweet sweater vest.




It's such a fun time of year with so many things happening. Lots of gatherings with family and friends. I feel so blessed and grateful.

  4. I think Haily takes after you. What an amazing picture she created. Wow!!! Let me know how she does. Of course, I can't get enough of Paige, she is so unique. Meg is a little doll and Charlie is a sweetheart; so kind, patient, and sweet.
