Spring is here...

... for only like 3 weeks, so I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts! I chopped these off a tree in our back yard. Aren't they pretty?

A sweet blessing for a sweet baby!

Our house is going to be reeking of estrogen in a few years

A smile!!! She's been doing these funny practing smiles for a few weeks, but they are getting more frequent and more real! The camera just got the smile leftovers of this smile...but it's still adorable!

A cute shot mom got of Lizzie before Daddy took them on a bike ride.

I have a lot of old pictures that i havn't posted yet. Sorry!! But i wanted to get them up before it got to late. I realized i have a lot of Trav, so enjoy! :)

Travis and Abigail-don't worry carrie-kate and i were close.

Lizzie and uncle Travis seemed to have a bond

This is one of trav's cuter smiles...

Our family....always singing :)

This is at Brett's house. This is his brothers snake, travis really wanted to hold it- but he couldn't quite work up the courage! So this is about how close he got!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun.....

It was a very relaxing and fun weekend for me! It was so nice to live close enough to go home for a couple of days...especially with only ONE child. I'm so glad I could be there when Kate went through the temple. Thanks for babysitting Em! It was bittersweet to come back home. Troy did great alone with the other kids and the whole house was clean when I got home, what a guy! Here's a few pics from the weekend....

There's no need for an explanation, is there?

Bus!

Alex's dreams came true the other day when we dropped some lunch off for Troy and saw that the buses were parked by the high school. This boy LOVES buses, tractors and trucks. Anyways, I happened to have my camera with me so I took a few shots of him getting up close and personal with the buses.

We have exciting news....

NO, we are not pregnant, but we've found a house! Troy and I feel good about buying a house here in Big Valley, we think we'll be here for a while. This is owned by a couple who did a lot of work (see kitchen below, it's AWESOME) on it themselves. It's only a 2 bd., so as part of the deal they are going to convert part of the 4-car garage into 2 more bedrooms. It's on 10 acres with a lined pond that we can fill and swim in. Our lease isn't up here until July, so we have awhile to wait. Although after our most recent power bill came today (over $500)and we talked to the people who's house we're going to buy and they said we can move in as soon as the rooms are done (probably April-ish). So we'll still be paying rent here at this house til July, but no power bills to PG&E. The new house is in Adin (I won't have to say I live in Nubieber!), and is with a different power company that is TONS cheaper. So hopefully it will all work out. We are excited to have a place to call our own again! On a side note...we got back from Utah yesterday and had a nice visit with Troy's family. Dev and Cam played non-stop with their cousins Carter and Trevor (Kerri's boys) and Audrey had fun with Bailey (Darby's daughter). Jill came with her daughter Tayah (who is the mellowest kid around!) and Tyler came too. Nathan and Bev couldn't make it, but they may come and visit us in March. Cheryl came down too, (Glenn stayed home with Corey) It's hard to believe Kyle (Tani's oldest) is leaving on a mission, I went to his baptism when Troy and I were engaged. Am I getting older? I hope you all had fun in Vegas, wish I could have been there!
