Blessing Daylen

Today we were able to bless Daylen at church. It was another great blessing and I am so grateful Derek honors his priesthood and is able to perform these blessings for our children. I am grateful for the blessings our Heavenly Father chose to give our sweet little Daylen and I am confident he will be (and is) an amazing addition to our family. We were able to have my grandpa Terry in town as well as Derek's dad, brother Jared and two of my brothers-in-law, Sam and Evan here to participate. I am grateful for their willingness. I am so grateful for the opportunity the Lord has given me to have amazing and beautiful children. I could not live without them. I am so blessed!!

Ashlyn turns 4!

My little girl is four already! I can't believe it. We are so happy we have this firecracker in our house. Some fun things about Ashlyn:
1. She is hilarious, I can not even describe it.
2. She is very sensitive. She doesn't like when people are upset.
3. She loves to sing and pretend.
4. Whenshe grows up she wants to be a teenager. (I died laughing when she told me that).
5. She is 39 1/2 inches. 75th percentile. That's a first for my kids.
6. She weighs 32 pounds. Still at the bottom of the weight class, no surprise.
7. We found out she too, like her sister, has kidney reflux, but worse. We are awaiting doctor recommendations to see if she will have surgery or just medication.
8. She has a hard time focusing, but comes up with the funnest thugs to play because of it.
9. She loves school and does really well at it.
We love our Ashlyn!!!
