where does time go?

It's February already!
We have had a cold winter and it doesn't look like it is over yet. Since time seems to be flying by maybe it will be spring soon. I think I am done with this winter weather stuff.
Lane's job is progressing well. I am still deciding what to do with my employment status. Hartley and her family are all fine. Evve will be 6 months old soon. Hillary's little Cade isn't so little anymore. I think he weighs as much as Evve. He is going to be a big boy. He is 3 months old.
Emma will find out in a week if she is having a boy or a girl.
Families are great.

Happy New Year



-Cousins-






The holidays are over but the fun memories are lingering. We were lucky this year and had all our family together for Christmas. Hillary, Tyler and Cade came from Henderson, NV; Emma and Brennik came from Queen Creek and Hartley, Jason, Halle and Evve are here in Snowflake. It was awesome. I can understand now why parents love it when their WHOLE family gets together. It was fun to see them interact as adults. We had lots of good food, played games and basically we just had a lot of fun together. That is what the holidays should be about, not the gifts or the food but FAMILY. We are hoping to have a great year. We will be adding another little one in July when Emma and Brennik have their first. I guess they will find out in February if it is a boy or girl. Another boy would be great to even things out a little, but we will love whatever it is. Guess that is all the news from our family. Have a great year!

Christmas is in a few days. It looks like everyone will be coming home for Christmas this year. That will be so awesome!!! YAY. I am finally understanding how special it is when you can get ALL your family together. Emma was hoping for a white Christmas but I have been praying for good weather so Hillary and Tyler could travel to Snowflake without any storms to hinder their way. Merry Christmas to all our family and friends.

Our Family is Growing


Our Family Is Growing.

Hillary had a sweet little boy on Oct. 28th. He wasn't really that little, 8 lbs 3 oz. That was a tummy full for petite little Hill. I got to stay with them for the first 2 weeks, that was really fun. Hartley's little Evve isn't so little any more, she is 3 months old and growing fast. Emma wants to add to the family too, she is expecting a baby, due in July. Being a grandparent is so much fun. We are so thrilled to add all these new little ones to our family. Congratulations Girls.

baby news and updates

Family Update:
Lane is starting a new project next week, building a bank in Show Low. Hartley and her girls are doing great. Evve is growing so fast, I'm glad I get to see her so often. Halle seems like such a big girl now that she has a little sister. Jason is super busy with lots of fireplace installs. Hillary is due to have her little guy next Wednesday. I am going to fly to Henderson and stay with them for a couple of weeks. We are all so excited. I bet he is going to be a cutie! Emma and Brennik just celebrated their 1 year anniversary. They went to Las Vegas and stopped by to see Hill and Tyler. I'm sure we will be adding baby pictures soon.

Fall

Fall is here. We had our first freeze a few nights ago, which means our gardening days are over for awhile. We had a huge garden this year, it produced way too much, we were able to share with all of our neighbors and friends and anyone that was willing to take some of it off our hands. I have a great neighbor that came over and taught me how to can (bottle) pickles. Hartley and I also learned how to can chicken. We have this awesome lady in our ward that lets us know about great deals so we are having fun learning how to preserve and store food. My mom came to visit after Evve was born and she has been teaching me how to quilt. I am a little behind on learning all those basics but I am catching up fast.
Brief Family update:
Hartley and new baby Evve are doing great. She is growing so fast. Halle seems to be adjusting to being a big sister, whenever I take her shopping she wants to buy stuff (toys) for Evve too. Jason is still working and seems to enjoy it, which is great.
Hillary and Tyler are anxiously waiting for their little guy to arrive, just a few more weeks. Hillary is just so cute with her little baby-bump.
Emma and Brennik are about to celebrate their 1 year anniversary. wow. Brennik recently got a promotion and he will have more Saturdays free to come visit his awesome in-laws.
Guess that's it for now.
Have a great Fall.
