Our Beautiful Savanna

All buckled up ready to go home from the hospital!!

She is a sleepy, calm and oh so cute baby! We are enjoying every minute of her...

Welcome Little Savanna!!

Well, she is here! Savanna Blythe was born December 11 @ 4:28 pm weighing in at 7 lbs. 11 oz. and 20.5 inches long. We are so grateful for her quick and healthy arrival! She is beautiful!


The boys are absolutely adoring her! What a lucky girl to have three big brothers....maybe?!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Cameron and Barrett had a lot of fun dercorating the tree. Cameron also made Santa Claus decorations to hang around the house as you can see on the wall! He is one creative kid whose imagination has endless possiblities...someday I'll have to create a post of all his artwork and creations...

yummy, yummy, a gingerbread house!!!

Happy 34th Birthday Clint!!

Happy Birthday to Clint, a wonderful husband and Daddy!
I was really hoping to give him a new baby for his birthday, but this one is being stubborn and not coming early like the last two...ahhhhhhh! Two weeks to go and definitely counting!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I didn't take many pictures on Thanksgiving... We went up to Grandpa and Grandma Barrett's home in Logan to be with many relatives that we rarely see. All together, I believe there were 53 people. We had a great time visiting and eating very yummy food, of course! The kids had fun meeting and playing with Emma and Christopher, my cousins, who are really closer to their age. We are grateful for the blessing of a wonderful family.

Christopher, Barrett, Cameron & Emma spent most of the day playing pool. Chris was nice enough to even let Barrett and Cameron win a few times!

Ethan and his "two best friends, Allyson and Jeremy" sure had a great time "taking a shower".

"THE HOKEY POKEY"

house update...

Still plugging along and working hard on the house. Here are a few pictures from the last few months... Thanks to all who have been hard at work...we really are grateful...it is coming along and we are always getting more and more excited!!

This is a classic picture as we are trying to leave... the boys with their hands full of stuff they think they just can't live without...a.k.a. TRASH!

Barrett's Baptism Day

Barrett was so excited to get baptized. The day finally came last Saturday, November 4th. The smile on his face in all the pictures that day describes it all! It was a very special day. Lots of friends, family, and teachers who really love Barrett were there to show their support. Barrett chose the entire program and had his two Grandpas speak. He also sang a special musical number with his two cousins, Cienna and Amanda who were also baptized this year. Afterwards, we went home for some lunch and the traditional Nightmare Sundae!! Barrett sure is loved and we are so proud of him!!

Happy Halloween!!

Pumpkin Land!

Pumpkin Land with our cousins!

Happy Birthday Barrett!

Barrett turned eight just a couple of weeks ago! What a fun and important age! He got to celebrate his birthday with his cousin Macy who was turning one and visiting from Seattle.... don't worry he also got to celebrate it on the actual day... lucky guy!

Finally... A Cub Scout!!

Happy Birthday Cameron!

... just realized we never posted anything about Cameron's 6th birthday which was at the end of August... He had a SUPER party with lots of fun and friends! Happy Birthday Cameron!

St. George Marathon Supporters!!

ST. GEORGE MARATHON 2006

We took a quick weekend trip south to cheer on our favorite runners!

Oh and by the way... in case you haven't heard...

For those of you who we haven't contacted... we apologize! We haven't been very good at announcing our big news...so here it is! We are expecting #4, due December 18, and the ultrasound is saying it is a girl! We'll believe it when she is actually here, but are very hopeful they are right! This is the first time we have found out ahead of time what we are having, so we are still quite a bit skeptical! Anyway, we are very excited... the pregnancy has been fairly easy and has gone by super fast so far. The boys are so ready for a new baby and especially a little sister! She'll have to be one tough cookie to survive the rough and tumble play that goes on around here!

Fishin' Fun

We went on a little fishing trip yesterday morning. The boys were way too excited! It was a beautiful morning and a nice trip to the mountains. Cameron did manage to catch one fish, but we threw it back. Better luck next time...

First Day of School

The boys are back at school... Barrett is in 2nd grade and Cameron is in Kindergarten. We started them at the school where we are building our house to avoid having to change schools mid-year. We really love their new school so far and they are having fun making friends from the neighborhood... although the drive to and from school every day is a bit long, we think it is worth it.

Goodbye Summer...

Summer is long gone...but here are a few pics. We are happy to say that everything has turned out wonderfully with Chad and his miraculous recovery. He is back at it with his life. We are so grateful for the quick recovery he has made. We spent most of the summer at his side and with his kids ... which was a lot of fun! We also got to spend some time with most of our Dorny cousins this summer too!
