Update...

No baby Twila yet...but at the doctor's office today I measured at 2 cm dialated! So hopefully soon!

Also, we moved back to Arizona!!

We are so excited to be back in our old ward, and have felt so welcome. I missed all my friends and family so much. I did NOT miss the heat though. It's blazing hot here, and I wish I could have gotten here earlier so I could have adjusted easier. We basically added nearly 40 degrees to our typical day.

The kids love our new place, but they miss being able to ride bikes and play outside. They attempted to play outside the other day and came back in after only 5 minutes. Poor guys! Hopefully we can find more weather friendly activities to keep them busy soon.

Sorry, no pictures this time!

The soon to be Big Sister...

Emma is our baby girl right now. But pretty soon she'll be a big sister. She's got such spunk and personality. She's always keeping me on my toes!

Here she is playing with Dad's snowboarding goggles and my phone. She thinks she is such a big girl.

Here is the destruction she leaves everywhere. She loves the toilet paper. Sometimes I think she's worse than a cat. If you look hard, you can see the evil look on her face in the background....

Here she is with her big sister Kaylee. We spent the day at the beach at one of the State Parks in Colorado. It was so fun, but she didn't hesitate to keep me on my toes. She drank tons of lake water which led to an upset tummy.

Here she is walking around on the beach in her big brother's old Tigger towel, while carrying a squirt gun. She's so stinkin' cute. I just love her to bits and pieces.

And here is her new little sister... Twila.

I just know Emma will be a great big sister, but it's still hard to imagine my baby girl being a big girl. We are all excited to welcome Twila into the world. We can't wait to see what she'll look like!

A New Beginning

I can't tell you how much I love my little kiddos. They brighten my day, and keep me on my toes. I am so excited to add our newest addition to these cuties. We have come up with a name for her, and it seems just right. Here are some pictures of the kids eating their favorite summer fruit- WATERMELON!!


Crew kept closing his eyes for the pictures, so this is how he looked when I told him to try and keep his eyes open. Such a funny kid!


Emma has the cutest smiles ever. She's such a fun loving, crazy monkey girl.


My big hearted, sweetie pie. Kaylee is growing up so much. She is really excited to have a new sister, and can't wait to be a big helper.


We have a fun park next to the park we are at right now. It's got a splash pad and all the kids love it. We like to go there and spend several hours playing in the water, swinging, and playing on the slides with water guns.


Emma walking around the park with a bag full of goldfish. By the time I caught up to her she practically finished the whole bag!


Kaylee's favorite thing at the park are these little swivel chairs. They spin her around so fast, and she laughs the whole time!


Crew warming up on the giant fish. The water that comes out of the fountains is really really cold! And when it's not really hot outside it can be pretty chilly.

Just a few more weeks till we get to meet our new little girl. I can't wait to give her hugs and kisses and neither can the kids.
