100th post!

To celebrate my 100th post I decided to highlight each member of our precious little family.


Daniel is a busy man. He is currently going to school full time seeking his degree in business administration. He likes being back in school, and really enjoys studying. He also recently studied day and night to get his insurance license's! He passed the test the first time with 84%, which is very good considering that alot of people fail their first time. He is now officially a business man, learning how to run his own business with AFLAC as an insurance agent. He loves the feeling of getting ready for work with a tie and briefcase rather than a uniform.

I am a stay at home mother and a apartment manager. I really love being able to stay home and raise my kids. They are the best! I often feel overwhelmed, but continually remind myself of how truly blessed I am. I am hoping to go back to school ASAP, on-line to earn a degree in hospitality management, which is what I started out doing in Provo. I enjoy doing family home evening and love getting my extended family involved with my kids as much as possible. I really like going on outings with my family to visit the scenic places of Oregon. I love to take pictures and edit them, although I am most definitely an amature. I hope to take some photography course's when I get back in school.

Our precious baby girl. She is 2 1/2 years old and the apple of her Daddy's eye (and her grandma's and grandpa's!). She is bright and beautiful. I am teaching her pre-school and she is an absolute sponge and quickly learns everything. She loves to "mommy" her baby brother and all of her baby dolls. She is constantly wrapping her dollies in blankets, giving them bottles and pacifier's and putting them "night night". She has a major attitude and if she doesn't want to listen, gosh darn it she isn't going to do it!! She definitely knows how to throw a tantrum. Her favorite things to do are take care of her "babies", read, watch movies, and go to Grandma and Grandpa's house. She will babble "grandma, grandpa, Jared, rusty, slate" as she looks out the window wanting to go see them. She likes to give hugs and kisses and get cuddles as much as possible, as long as it is her idea. She is potty trained at home, but her lazy mommy still puts a pull up on her when we leave the house. If it weren't for me, I am sure she would be fully potty trained. She definitely keeps me on my toes.

Our baby boy.He is 16 months old and is the most beautiful little thing I have ever seen. I love to sit and stare at him because I just can't believe how adorable he is. He learned to walk when he was 10 months old and has not slowed down since! His favorite thing to do is climb, on anything and everything, he is fearless. He is currently going through a phase where he wants to be held all the time. He has 4 molars and 4 top teeth and 2 bottom teeth. He likes to give kisses, but they are more like being licked. He has several words he uses on a regular basis, and I think he pronunciates very well for his age. His word's are: up, no,mommy,daddy,cracker,okay, yay and hulk out.Yes, hulk out. He learned this from Daddy and Clare.
