These are some pictures of Brittlyn and Emma.  These were taken back in Aug.  They look like they could be sisters but, cousins are just as good.  I'm so glad that they have eachother.  So cute!
 

Just an update!

I know it's been a while. I'm not too sure if you guys are following this, but I thought I would post some pictures anyway. The first ones are Halloween ones. Xavier was a zombie and Maya was the Little Mermaid princess. Pretty much I just curled her hair and put on a lot of makeup, but she loved it. Matt was in charge of Xavier's costume, which they both loved, so it worked out great! Next I posted some ultrasound pictures of our baby girl. I am 5 months along already! Crazy how fast time is going by.. the first picture is of her foot and the second picture is her whole body. I think it's pretty obvious. Sometimes I have no clue what I am seeing on the monitor and just take their word for it that it is in fact hamburger buns.. ;) (That's what they tell you when it's a girl) The next couple pictures are of the kids and I. I had a holiday relief society dinner the other night and got dressed up and they wanted to take pictures. I threw in a belly shot as well since Mary refuses to call me and tell me her news until I do.. So, there you go Mary! I expect a call later on this evening! ;) Well I love you all so much! Hope to see you all soon! Love you TONS! 

Don't be fooled by the thing in the middle.. apparently it's just a hand! ;)

The start of another school year...

Here we are again.. another school year. Maya is starting 1st Grade and Xavier is starting 4th Grade. They are both excited to be with their friends again and we anxiously await the fun things this year will bring... Addie moved with her mom to St George in July. She will be attending preschool somewhere in the St George - Mesquite, Nevada area. We don't expect any pictures or any kind of updates on her, but I do have one from last fall.. we will have her for Christmas this year so we look forward to that.

I had an ultrasound on monday and was able to get a couple of pictures as well as an "accurate" due date. The ultrasound technician gave me the due date of March 29; however, the Dr called me the next day and gave me the due date of March 28. So.. who knows?? It's a little irritating that I don't have a set day for baby book purposes... hopefully we can get that figured out.

I was happy to be able to talk to M&D on monday... They sound like they are doing well and are excited to serve.. I feel so lucky to be a part of this wonderful family. Thank you all for your love and support.. Hopefully I can get down there soon with the kids for a visit.. they are DYING to go. I love you ALL and can't wait to see you again!

4th of July w/ The Allred's

We went to Jenny and Brian's house for a barbecue and then we did some sparklers and fireworks. It was lots of fun and good to spend our 4th with so much family.

Mom and Dad Allred left today to the MTC. They are going to Korea on their mission.

Holy Korea!

Hey all!! So I loved seeing you all (minus Melissa and Tristan and family :( ) We had such an awesome, SHORT weekend!! Thank you Deb and Nate and Mary and Aaron for hooking us up with a place to stay.. We are super excited to have Asia with us now.. The kids don't know we have her so it will be a fun surprise.. I failed to take many pictures and but I was able to get a few.. Sorry to those I missed, I'll get you next time. I'm super excited for M&D to serve in Korea, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I am VERY sad to see them go... Seoul has no idea how lucky they are to have these two wonderful, loving, generous, kind, amazing people.. I am a 1000% better person because of them.. I love them! Anyway, can't wait to see you guys again.. Love you!

Sorry M&D for the monkeys on the couch! It was my fault!

The kids

It has been 6 months and we have all adjusted to life in Montana. It was an icy winter but we are now really enjoying the warm summer. We had a great visit with M&D in May. We were so excited to have them here. They got to meet Addie and see where we live and even got to have FHE with us. What a treat it was for us!

We are planning a trip down there soon.. hopefully within the next couple of weeks. I will let you know and maybe we can have a get together or something. I posted some pictures of the kids so you can see how they've grown.. It's been difficult trying to get a good picture of Xav.. Usually it's just silly faces or he looks away right as I take the picture. I'll see if I can't surprise him one of these days. :) Anyway, we'll see you guys soon! Love you! 

 Addie smelling the tulips at the temple.. Love this one!
