First Scare

little Austin gave us a scare and off to the ER yesterday...right now looks like a virus, cold came upon him in the night, pray it doesn't turn into RSV. :(

13 Lucky Years

13 is a luck number for us as we were married on Friday the 13 and the first apartment we lived in was #13! Who would have thought all those years ago we would be were we are today?! I love Jared so much. He works so hard for us and never complains. He loves his job and the things that he does. He is so good to me and is a wonderful father. Here we are 13 years of marriage with, 5 kids as of 8 weeks ago, (plus his cousin lives with us) and a beautiful home to live in. We are so blessed.
For our anniversary Jared took the day off so we could spend time together. We took Austin with us to the park, but it ended up being rather chilly~ wish I had a coat!
I didn't get very good pictures, not even of one of us together...

Austin 8 Weeks

Cutest Baby in the World! I know every parent thinks this, but he is so darn cute and so lovable.






He has brought so much joy and happiness into my life that I need at this time.

Anika Lost First Tooth

March 11 Anika lost her first tooth and she couldn't be prouder!

Pinewood Derby

A proud moment in every woman's life is that her husband helped her boys make their derby cars! Yes, on his own Jared went and cut the wood and helped the boys in every step of the way this year with no help! A great confidence builder for Jared! ha!ha!ha!


The boys had a fun time racing with their friends.








At the end all the kids that came got to race a "banana car!"



Derby car racing is really relaxed in the two wards we have participated in.
