Long Over do

Sorry life has been really busy the last couple of weeks, so our blog has suffered because of it. Here a couple of pictures that get us through November and then I will post about Christmas. The kids got all dressed up for the BYU vs Utah game. Hence there father is a big U of U fan, and now since he is going to the U, I don't think that is going to change anytime soon.

Big Boy Bed

So Chase was getting tried of hitting his legs and arms on his bed, so we had a bottom bunk bed just sitting down stairs so we got a mattress and put up the bed for him. Blake keep falling out of his toddler bed almost every night so we gave him Chase's bed. Both boys are very happy with their beds. Here are a couple of pictures. Also it snowed today. I really don't like driving in the snow and every year ask Andy to move somewhere warm just for the winter. Here are some pictures of the snow.

Halloween

Here are a couple of pictures from Halloween. Some are from Chase's school parade. Hope you enjoy them. I will get more up when it isn't so late, and I need to go to bed.

Getting back to normal

Well things have started to get back to normal. For those of you who don't know. Last week Andy was in the hospital from Sunday night until Thursday night. It was crazy. Sunday night he had a bad head ache in the back of his head. We were throwing all of the clothes down the stairs to do the laundry. I went to put the kids to bed and Chase came running and said that Andy had fallen down the stairs and was asleep. I went running down the stairs when I got to him he was out. He was breathing and his heart rate was fine. I got our friend to come watch the kids and I got him awake enough to get him in the car. I took him to the ER, there they gave him some pain med and were doing a bunch of test. They had to do a spinal on him, but right before they had given him more pain med, then he basically crashed in the ER. It was really scary. That ended him up in the ICU for most for Monday and then we spent till Thursday in the hospital. Things are getting back to normal, he still isn't able to go back to work yet, we have an appt tomorrow so we should know more tomorrow. The kids are loving having him home. We did go to Chase's Halloween parade today and I will get pictures posted when I get some more time. I just thought that I would put a quick update on. Thanks for all of the phone calls, the well wishes, prayers, and thoughts. They are greatly appreciated.

Our Anniversary

Well I can now say that we have been married for 7 years!!!! It was our anniversary yesterday. We have a house, a van, and 4 kids later. We decided that after church we would go for a ride up to the mountains. It was so pretty all the colors of the leaves are changing. There is actually some snow up there. We went up guardsman pass. Which is actually what we did during our honeymoon. So we also found a red tailed fox, deer, and a hawk. Okay so we almost hit the deer, but we didn't and everyone is okay. Here are some pictures that we took with our cell phones, still working towards that camera. Blake slept through it, Maddie was awake for most of it, Chase and Alyssa loved the snow. Here are also some pretty pictures of the mountains and we even found a snowman on the side of the road. It was pretty fun anniversary. Thanks honey for being a great husband and dad to the kids. You are awesome!!!!! Sorry we didn't get any pictures of us yesterday. We forgot to have the kids take some.

Update and Pictures

So I know that it has been awhile since I have posted something on our blog. Sorry life has been really crazy and I just haven't had time. So here is a little update on our family. Lys is loving school, wishes she could go more. Chase is also loving preschool. He would like to go more and be as big as Lys so that he could go to the big school, I just keep telling him that he gets to go next year. Blake is going crazy not be able to go to school, he really doesn't know what to do with the kids gone, because Lys and Chase are gone at the same time, and Maddie usually takes her nap then. I try to play games or do an activity with him. He is getting more used to it, until Lys goes off track and then we will have an issue. Maddie turned one and is walking everywhere she wants to go, it is crazy how fast that she is growing up. She is also saying a couple of words, like kitty cat, mama, Dada, chase, Nana, this, and baba. I am so excited for when everyone is potty trained and I don't have to change diapers anymore. The kids are alot of fun. I am enjoying knowing that we are done having kids and I can look forward to the next stages in life. Andy got transfer to the downtown store from Millcreek it is still the assistant manager job. He is going to be starting school in January. I am also excited for him to finish school. I know that it will be a long road. But I know everything will be okay. I am still a senior pampered chef consultant. I absolutely love it, I am getting 2 more recruits this month and if I get one more then I will be director. That is what I am aiming for. I am still working one night a week at spag. Well here are the pictures it is Blake's 3 year pictures, Maddie 1 year pictures, and then one of all four kids. Hope you enjoy them.

Happy Birthday Maddie

Maddie is a year old!!! I can't believe that our baby is a year old. Here are some cake pictures and present pictures. I just keep looking forward to the new things that happen around here. She gets to go to the dr next week for her year appt. She also loves her room with Lyssa, as long as she has her music CD playing she sleeps all night long. YAY for us!!! Enjoy the pictures.

Pictures

Here are the pictures from the 1st day of school, Maddie walking, and the rest of the kids on the day Lyssa started school.

1st Day of Kindergarten and update

Well Lyssa started school yesterday for the 1st time. I can't believe that I have a kid old enough to go to school. Chaser's will start preschool in a week in a half. Then I will have two kids gone at the same time. Yay!!! B-will is sad because he can't go to school, but next June him and Chaser's can go to summer school together. Then I will only have one at home for the month of June!!!! I am excited. Maddie is taking her first steps and then decides that she is faster at the whole elephant crawling I wish we had a video of it is so funny. Andy stayed at his work. He decided that was a better option and then in January he will start school. We got called about 2 months ago to be the nursery leaders in nursery. It is going ok. We just have alot of kids in there. A couple Sunday ago we has 18 kids. But it was ok. Maddie is alot happier in there because she can be free and play with the other kids, B-will is happy with us in there. I'm still working at spaghetti factory and watching kids during the day, and then I am still also doing pampered chef. I absolutely love it. I am getting better at it. I have almost been doing it for a year. Last month I had the most sells on my team. We went to the family team swim party and I won a bunch of the new products and got lots of awards!!! Well I think that is it for now. I took a bunch of pictures with my mom's camera, and as soon as I go to costco I will get them posted.

Updates

We have been very busy this last month. I promise that it won't be another month before I post something. So here is the month. Andy got offered a new job, yay!!! Gave his two weeks and then decided that he needs to stay were he is and start school in January. I am really excited for him to go back to school. So I guess that we won't be moving out of state anymore for now. I am still working part time and selling pampered chef. I had my highest sales last month and I won a bunch of the new fall products for free yay!!!!! Lyssa will be starting school next week. I can't believe that I have a kid old enough. Chasers will be starting preschool soon. B-will is sad that he can't go to school. But it will be nice just having 2 kids for a couple of hours. Maddie is 11 months now. I can't believe how time goes. Just last year I was laying in a hospital bed in preterm labor. I will post pictures as soon as I e-mail some off of my phone. Hey my next commission check from pampered chef is going towards getting us a camera so that we can actually take pictures.

Misc pictures

Here are some misc pictures that I found when I was e-mailing the boat ones to the e-mail from Andy's phone. Some are from Chase when he was little, and Alyssa taking pictures of herself. There is one of Maddie wearing Blake's cowboy hat that he got for his birthday.
