Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! We enjoyed our traditional Thanksgiving meal so much we had to show you how much we loved our pie. Here are some of the things we are thankful for: Brynn: I am thankful for my bed.
Abby: I am thankful for the color pink.

Leah (don't you all wear a princess dress to eat pie in?) : I am thankful for my blankets, dressing up, my friends, and playing, and for all of you guys. I am thankful for everything, but not yucky stuff.

I think Shea is thankful for Oreo pie.

Halloween 2008

We had a great time trick or treating on Halloween Night. The weather was great, no need for jackets. Everyone had fun getting candy, including Shea. Shea kept wanting to eat whatever was put into her bag. Leah went as Snow White, Shea was a clown and Abby and Brynn were both vampires. Happy Halloween!

Surprise It's Five!

We are excited to announce that we are having another baby. Definitely a surprise and I'm nervous just thinking about being responsible for five kids. But we are thrilled anyway. Of course we are all hoping that this one might be a boy, but we are always happy with what we have been given. I am feeling great, just tired but then who isn't tired! My due date is March 28th. I realize that I'm slow to share the news...perhaps I was in denial for awhile!!!

Fall fun

Shea Update

Finding her belly
Helping Leah color

Enjoying some yummy apples!

I realize it's been awhile since I've mentioned what Shea is up to. She is all over the house now. She runs to keep up with the other girls and loves to be involved with whatever they are doing. She speaks a few words, but is starting to pick them up more quickly. She learned two new words last week, bird and ball.

Leah and Shea are now buddies. Leah goes to preschool 3 mornings a week and Shea is always so excited to have her come home so she has someone to play with. She is so much fun to have in our home.

Soccer Season

The fall soccer season ended last weekend. Brynn and Abby played this year. This was Brynn's first season playing it was a lot of fun watching her play. I would guess she liked playing forward the most, she scored several goals throughout the season and was really fast too. Her coaches would put her on defense for a quarter or two each game, and she would take the ball up the field anyway.

Abby really caught on to soccer this season. She learned that she is best at defense and claimed it as her own, towards the end of the season her coaches called her their defense super star (all while Abby was trying not to smile). She had a great season too and it was lots of fun to watch her learn how to play the game even better.

We can't wait for the spring season to start!

Happy Birthday Trent

Happy Birthday to my sweetheart Trent!

I am so grateful to be married to such a wonderful person. He's a great father a hard worker and we have lots of laughs together. I hope you have a great day! I love you!

By the way these are pictures from our trip to the Bahamas. We had a fun time being able to get away and enjoy each other's company. Although you can't tell I think snorkeling was Trent's favorite activity.
