Check back soon for updates on our projects!





Baby Girl is a hard kid to take a picture of! She is too interested in other things than slowing down to look at me and of course not smile!
Baby Girl just likes to run with the big kids. If Kermit and Miss Piggy are doing anything, she's got to be right there involved with them! She loves to go pick them up from school. As we walk onto the school grounds she starts saying "Brower, Brower" (Brother, Brother) She just adores her brother and sister!
Baby Girl is cutting her 1 year molars, she's got 2 prongs of 1 molar broke through and we hope the others come VERY quickly. She's miserable with them. We are hoping she likes to use her molars... it seems everything she eats she just swallows!
Baby Girl is talking a lot. She's putting words together even. When we were visiting with the dr for her 15 month check up she grabbed a book, sat down and said, "read a book." The Dr asked us if that's what she said because she was shocked to hear her so clearly and with combining words! She can tell you where her nose, ears, belly button, mouth and feet are. She knows what a doggie and cow says. She is just very aware of what is happening and what the right things to do are. If she wants to go outside, she'll grab her shoes, back up to you, sit on you and give you her shoes! Today she even said "Shoe". She loves to bring you bottle of lotion or hand sanitizer and have you put some on her hands to rub in by herself.
As for her stats... she's still a small one! But the Dr is pleased with her growth and says she doesn't look scrawny! And she doesn't, Baby Girl has a little pot belly that we love to blow raspberries on! Okay, the details...
Weight: 18lbs, 7oz - 2%
Height: 30 inches - 26%
Head: 45cm - 25%
We simply adore Baby Girl. To think that we never imagined we'd have another baby, we can't imgine life without her! She's so kissable!!!



The first day of school was fantastic! Mama and Master Chief got to attend with Kermit and Miss Piggy to help them get to know the school rules and the way the lunch room works. The kids quickly recognized a girl from their preschool class as well as a friend in the neighborhood! The kids are going to have so much fun this year at school together in the same class! It's an all day long, every other day schedule, so they are long days, but the kids are adjusting very well. Their favorite times of the day are lunch time and recess! Mama didn't even cry the first day of school! (the second day she did though)
We celebrated Angel Baby's 8th birthday with many of Master Chief's family. It was a special day for us! Her cake was so much fun to make!
Kermit and Miss Piggy got to blow out her candles.
Purple balloons for our purple loving Angel Baby!
We wrote messages on our balloons.
Then we went outside....
Mama, Master Chief and the kids released our balloons first.
Then everybody else released theirs! There she goes....
Here she comes!!!
We all had a great time.
We miss our Angel Baby so much, and this year was extra hard. She would be baptized this month because she turned 8, the age of accountability. We know where she is, we know she is busy and happy, and we know we will be with her again someday! We can't wait for that day to arrive, but until then we are going to be the very best people we know how to be. We are striving to become more like our Savior everyday and be an example of Him. Kermit is enjoying his basketball season. It is by far the funniest and cutest thing we've ever seen. The first game the kids had no idea what to do and were running in circles! Here is Kermit's second game, he's in blue.
