Here are some cute kids getting ready to play in the snow and of course Haylee playing in the snow. My little Haylee is just getting so big and lives for the outdoors.
Just a quick update on everyone....
Ian is 2 and 1/2 and talking more and more everyday. He is so much fun and quite honestly plays the "little brother" role all too well at times. I'm not going to lie, he can be a bit of a handful! That being said, he is very cuddly and gets very concerned when a member of his family is sad. He still loves cars and spiderman. As you can see from the pictures I have posted throughout this past year and a half, he is absolutely beautiful! It is impossible to stay mad at him. He is our little man and keeps us all smiling.
Reagan is 4 and 1/2 and has finally grown some, not a lot, but some. Reagan is our homebody.
She loves being with her family. Reagan loves to sing and actually does it quite well. We are a little nervous but looking forward to Kindergarten next year. She has seperation issues but we'll get through it. She loves to do puzzles and color. Reagan plays so well and is usually the first one to give up a toy if someone else wants it. She is still the pickiest eater EVER and continues to have the unfortunate habit of sucking her thumb while twirling her hair on one side, leaving her hair completely lopsided because she twirls it until it catches on her finger and breaks. If anyone has any fantastic remedies for this problem I am open to any and all suggestions!
Haylee is 6 and won't stop growing. She is pretty tall for her age and is skinny so all her pants fall
off of her because I have to get the bigger size to fit her length! Haylee is just like her daddy and gets along with EVERYONE! She is doing really well in Kindergarten and is LOVING it! We work on reading and writing every night for her homework. She has two loose teeth that we try to remember to wiggle everyday. I am constantly doing a double take when I have conversations with her. When did I get here??? She is just getting so old!!! Like I said before, Haylee lives for the outdoors! She is very active and could care less what the weather is doing outside.....she wants to be in it!
Danny is still scoutmaster for our ward and seems to be enjoying it again. He is going to day shift at the jail this Friday. We have been doing graveyard for more than 2 and a half years and maybe more than that, it's been a really long time since we've done a day shift. He'll be home before 6:30 every night! I don't even know what to think about it! Needless to say, we are really excited. He continues to love his job and has been very successful. He really enjoys being a sargeant and of course does a fantastic job. He will be turning 33 this month and we will be celebrating 8 years of marriage this year.
I am doing well. I couldn't love being a stay at home mom any more than I do. We are so blessed that we are able to have me home with the kids. I am still the compassionate service leader for our ward. It's been a difficult calling at times but very rewarding. We have recently called some new sisters to work with me so I am looking forward to that help. My passion continues to be decorating. I only wish I could do more! I'm trying to get back on the exercise and eating better wagon so wish me luck there! I turned the big 3-0 a couple months ago and I'm pretty excited to be in my thirties!!!
We are all healthy and are very blessed to have each other. We are also blessed to have very loving and supportive family and friends in our lives. We thank our Heavenly Father everyday for all the blessings that are ours. I hope this has given you an idea of what our little family is up to these days. We hope all is well with all that read this and hope you have a great 2009!
