Lilly's 1st Birthday

Time goes so quickly. It's already been a month since Lilly's birthday. Better late then never right! Here's a few Lilly facts: She loves playing with her sisters, She isn't walking on her own yet but will grab your hand and you have to walk with her everywhere. She likes to pretend to read. Loves to have attention and gets it from anyone she can...plus she has the greatest smile. We are so happy to have her in our family!

It's been too long since I have blogged. Trent was laid off his job the middle of January and he has top priority on the computer in our house. However, I didn't want February to slip by without having posted something. Brynn was baptized on January 9th. Grandma and Grandpa Hart and Grandma Wanda came for her baptism. We had a great time seeing family. There were so many friends who came as well. Thanks you all for your love!

We are so proud of Brynn and her decision to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Here's a shot of Lilly wishing she could go out and play in the snow. The other girls were in the backyard playing and she had to settle for watching them from the glass door.

Brynn had a great birthday party. She took 4 friends and 2 sisters rollerskating!

In February we learned that Lilly is allergic to penicillin. The poor thing had hives all over her body. I thought I would take some pictures so when she asks how bad her reaction was I could show her.

We've had a crazy few weeks around here. Trent is working hard on trying to find another job. We've had many people express their concern for us and we appreciate it so much. Right now the best thing you could help us with is just praying for us that we can find work.

Reasons I don't blog as often as I should

That is a swimsuit over pajamas

Look, the swimsuits are out again

But it's worth it!

Brynn is such a special girl, we sure are glad she is in our family.

Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas! The girls were so excited for it. I love the memories it brought back of being so excited you could hardly sleep! Grandma and Grandpa gave the younger 3 girls some geotrax. They love driving those trains around.

Lilly was just happy to be part of everything.

Shea loved Christmas this year, here she is with a new princess doll, and below with a new princess outfit that she wore the rest of the day don't forget to check out the shoes!

When it came time to open presents, Abby natuarally chose the heaviest present to open first, thinking that it must be the best present if it's the heaviest. She unwrapped it to find.....Scriptures!

I love the enthusiastic look on her face! Merry Christmas

Wisconsin Dells

We went on a quick vacation before Christmas up to the Wisconsin Dells. They have these huge indoor waterparks. It's pretty awesome to be able to go swimming in the middle of winter. They place is set up to where they have indoor skywalks so you don't even have to go outside to get to the pools from your room. We all had a great time. Leah loved her floatie suit and would try to keep up with Abby and Brynn

Shea thinks she's going to do some serious swimming.

Happy Halloween

Halloween was fun this year. The girls had a great time carving their pumpkins.
Lilly enjoying the afternoon sunshine.

Abby was a bunch of grapes (although she got more guesses that she was "balloon girl")

Lilly was a butterfly, Brynn was a pirate, Leah the unicorn (she loved her costume), Shea the princess.

Abby went trick or treating with her friends this year, she came back with so much candy. Trent took the middle three out they lasted about an hour. Then I had to take Brynn back out.
There is way too much candy in my house right now.
