BYU Blue and fall time blue, but in a good way, ya know?


Can you believe how cute little Joseph is!!!!!!!!! We super duper adore him!








Ahh, Here is our team spirit in action!!!! Mr James is "the biggest fan in the world, mom" So we have all caught coug fever. Funny what kids will do....it has been such a fun family tradition, mike took him to a few games last year, so we had to get some seats this year too! When the kids came to visit Joseph in the hospital they brought him that cute onesie, and happened to all be outfitted too...even brought some gear for mom. Love my little family, it is so great to make fun traditions. Now all we need are some for winter, we don't really have a winter sport/activity....and winter is sooooo long, already dreading a little! Although I love decorating for Christmas------lets narrow it down to the months of January and February.
What more to tell???? Everyone is doing great. Joseph got his two months shots today, but don't tell him because he doesn't know he is supposed to be super sad :(
Life is moving along....feeling the familiar nostalgia of fall and loving it. Hard to believe Mike and I have known each other for 12 years this fall, see told you I am feeling nostalgic.....Hurry stop reading before I get really sappy. He has been so good to me through this little adventure we have been on. I have to sing his praises here because I don't even think he knows how to get to our blog. Just for the fun of it lets do a top 10:
Top 10 things I have learned about mike over the years:
10. He is sooooo motivated to do right for his family
9. The most loyal person on the planet I will even include any other planets that may be discovered in the future, thats how loyal of a guy he is
8. Has a deep testimony the Savior Jesus Christ. Is willing to sacrifice anything for his beliefs
7. Can be brought out of any grumpy mood with homemade desserts. Seriously I have made him happy many times with cookies, cakes, and cinnamon rolls.
6. He loves a clean house!!!!! Too bad his wife isn't the best house keeper....luckily he is willing to pitch in when things get tooo bad.
5. Will go to any length to get a job done right. He just won't quit. He is willing to stay up all night is he has to. He is the poster child for our family motto I can do hard things
4. He loves his kids. He can be a tough love kind of dad, the kids listen to him way better than me they love to make him happy. But....whenever he may need to come down hard on one of them he feels terrible after and will stew all day and night about if he did right and is not afraid to apologize of necessary.
3. He is a mans man, he loves to be manly and all the things that includes
2. He is always supportive of me in the end, I may have to do some convincing, but he always wants me to be happy and looks out for my real best interests
1. I love him and that is that, I can truly say he is my best friend.

Sorry I tried to warn you.....
That about concludes it, now I must sleep while I can.

JOSEPH DANIEL=LOVE

HE IS HERE! and we are getting adjusted to life with four littles.
He was born July 20, weighing in at a mere 8.2 and 19 and 1/2 inches.
he is a great baby and still sleeps a lot!
Yesterday was blessing day and Michael gave him a nice blessing. I love having such a good daddy for our babes.
We are all in the throws of school, and are getting busier every day,
Sonni starts suzuki method piano tomorrow we are thrilled for her. She has such a talent for singing and music we can't wait for her to get started. James and Sonia are in soccer and are having a blast, and trying to get used to running again.
Miss Macey is sassy as ever and is loving the time James is at kindergarten and Joey is napping and she gets me all to her self. We have had some fun times dancing and baking and visiting the park or just relaxing, it has been good for both of us.
Life is great, I would love a vacation from our hectic pace, but a late night movie at home with the hubs will just have to do! (at least for now)
