It's been forever!

I know it has been forever since I last blogged about anything, so I am going to do a couple of posts about the things we have been up to the last few months. We are doing well and loving life right now.

Isaac got a super cape with his name on it from Grandma for Christmas and he absolutley loves it. He wants to wear it all the time.

A couple of months ago we were able to go to Okanogan and see my family. My brother's wife Amy and her two kids, Adde, and Alivia were there as well so it was so fun to be able to spend some time with them. Here is Grandma and Papa Larry with the kiddos.

We found Adde all dressed up in Grandma's dress one day. She is such a cutie pie!

Adde, Liam, Roger (the boys my mom watches), Kaedn, Maci, and Isaac all watching Kaedn play video games. It kept them all entertained for quite some time.

Alivia and Alyssa together. They are only 3 months apart.

Here is Auntie Amy, Adde, and Isaac playing Ring around the Rosie. Isaac had such a fun time with his cousin. And I enjoyed spending time with Amy.

Here are the kids at Easter time with Ryan and Karman and Bill and Brodie (Kyle's cousin Breann's husband and son)

Aunt Kelli and Alyssa at Easter time.

Here is Kelli and Lee and our kids.

Kyle and I bought our first home and moved into it in March. We are loving it and are happy to finally have an acutal home. We are in a new ward for church and we like it. I have been called to be the young womens 2nd counsler and am enjoying it. It has been good for me and I think I will continue to grow as I serve the young women.

Alyssa's baby blessing

This last Sunday Kyle was able to bless our little girl. It was a very nice blessing. I have to admit I only heard about half of it because Isaac was sitting on my lap an he kept repeating "Dada" over and over again. But I know that it was a very sweet blessing. I am very grateful to have a husband who holds the Priesthood who can perform such sweet blessings. It was nice to be able to have some of my family come over for it and some of Kyle's family was there too. It was especially nice to have Kyle's brother, Ryan, there who we don't see very often because they have always lived far away, but are moving here very very soon and we are excited to finally be close to them. All in all it was a great day.

First day on my own with 2 kids

I was lucky enough to have my mom and my sister here helping me after I had Alyssa. They were here for about 5 days. They left last Friday morning early and Kyle was already back at work so that was my first official day all by myself with 2 kids. The morning was going well and I was doing alright. While I was nursing Alyssa I heard Isaac playing in the kitchen, I didn't think anything of it until he got really quiet and I didn't here him anymore. I finished nursing and went to see what he was up to. He had gotten into the pantry and pulled down the brown sugar and dumped it all out over the floor and himself. At first I was like "Oh Noooooooooo" , but then I just started to laugh and thought I better get use to things like this happening.

Welcome Alyssa Marie

Alyssa Marie was born on October 27th at 7:44 a.m. She was 7 pounds 10 ounces and 20 and 1/2 inches long. Everything went fine. Mom and her are doing great.

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we took Isaac to a Pumpkin Patch in Orting. Kyle and I had never been to one before so it was pretty cool for us too. Isaac liked looking at all the pumpkins. He kept trying to say pumpkins and it was really cute. We had a good time. We would of done more, but I am not able to walk for a long period of time right now. I am pretty uncomfortable. I am going in on Tuesday morning to have a c-section. I can't wait. We are very excited to meet our little girl. We will post pics as soon as we get a chance.

Isaac at the Swimming Pool

I went home to Okanogan last week and enjoyed some time in the sun. I took Isaac swimming for the first time and he really didn't like it at first. He was absolutley horrified of the water, but we went back a few more times and each time he got better, and eventually he seemed to be having a little bit of fun.

Enjoying some ice cream with grandpa when we're done :)
