Christmas!

We had a really nice Christmas. It was great to be together as a family and to have all the beautiful snow! We spent Christmas eve at my parents and then had Christmas dinner with them at our house. Dan's parents were able to come to see us on the weekend, despite the road conditions, so we had a great holiday with family!  

Our twin nephews!

Triston Tony and Trenton Thomas arrived on Dec. 17 to my Sister Jessica and her husband Bobby.  They are healthy and growing strong.  They are so sweet and have brought so much joy to our family already. We all love them so much!

Our home in Pendleton

This is the house we are renting in Pendleton.  It is a really old home, with what I call a lot of potential.  No, really though, it is kind of cool and has plenty of space for us, so we are very happy and are settling in quite well.  Caden loves his new school and feels very welcome, which is a relief.  He wasn't excited about starting over at a new school, but he adjusted quickly!

Caden lost another tooth!

Caden lost his 4th tooth today!  He pulled it out at church and was very proud to show me afterward.  I love his smile without his two front teeth.  He already put it in his Tooth Fairy Pillow for tonight.  I love these simple joys!!

Happy Halloween!

Our trip to Disney World!

We just returned home from Disney World and are suffering from "post Disney World blues", as I like to call it.  We had so much fun and can't wait to go back.  We loved meeting the characters, watching the parades and shows, going on the rides, and just taking in the whole atmosphere!  That was my first time as well as the kids', so it was quite an amazing experience.  We loved watching the kids faces light up as they saw the characters and ran up to hug them all!  I have to admit that I got pretty excited to see the characters too!  It was very tiring, but very fun and we are so thankful that we had this opportunity.  It was truly amazing!!  

Disney World!

More Disney World!

Baby Primus

We had an ultrasound on Wednesday and everything looked good!  The baby seems to be healthy and active!  I am due around February 21.  No, we didn't find out the sex.  I know that drives some people crazy, but that's the way we like doing it.  We're weird I guess.  We are just happy that the baby is healthy and we look forward to meeting it.  It was fun to see it moving around in there. We all went to the ultrasound.  It was hard to get everyone to sit still, of course, but Dan took them out for a little walk during the middle of it.  Colson didn't understand what was going on, but Caden and Collin enjoyed it I think.  Anyway, all is well!!!

We're Moving!!

Dan was offered a new job as a Deputy District Attorney for Umatilla County, which means we will be moving to Pendleton.  We are excited about this opportunity and are looking forward to it.  Dan will start working in the beginning of November.  The kids and I will be going as soon as we can.  It's hard to say when that will be, but the kids are really excited to be living in the same town as my parents, sister and her family, and my grandmother.  It will be fun!
