Not so Little anymore!!

Tyler is never alone he always has one of his siblings close by. He is definetly loved!


If you look close enough you can see his 2 bottom teeth.

Well I guess you can say Tyler was never that little. Weighing in at 9lbs 4 oz he was big to start out. Tyler is now 4 months, old I know I feel like it has flown by. He is an awesome baby, very well mannered and always happy. He is in the 75% and above for height, weight, and head circumference. Well here are the stats on our big boy #2.

Weight: 16lbs 6 oz

Height: 25.5 in.

Tyler also cut his first 2 bottom teeth last week. Yippee for mom who is nursing!!! He sure is cute though with two new little choppers.

Happy Birthday ASHLYN!

One of my favorite pictures.

Playing outside on the trampoline.

Hot summer day with a favorite around here-a popcicle.

Well I know it is late but none the less it was celebrated. What can I say about our little rascal? She is so darn cute I can't get enough of her. She is a great big sister and an awesome little sister. Ashlyn loves playing dolls with Katelyn but also loves digging in the dirt with Michel and pushing dump trucks. I guess that's what happens when your home all day with big brother. Ashlyn you are loved by so many. We can't wait to see what this year brings (hopefully some vocabulary). We love you Ashy!

Any Room at the Zoo for these 6?

Michel & Alison

Katelyn, Alison, Carson, Michel, Ashlyn, and Marcus. Nice face Boys!

My two Girls.

Don't you just love how Michel is holding the map? He loves things like that, if I were to go look under his bed I would find this map.

All the kids looking at the Golden Eagle.

We have had so much fun having Brent, Lea, Marcus, Alison and Carson in town from Virginia Michel is getting spoiled playing with his only boy cousins. We decided we would take our wild animals to see some other wild animals. I was apprehensive to go because of the baby but Tyler did great in fact all the kids did great. At one point all the oldest kids were in the strollers and the youngest were all walking. It has been a couple years since we have gone so it was nice to go with the cousins. Maybe one day they will move back to the homeland that way Michel won't be the only one at family parties. We love you guys!!

10 Years and 4 kids Later.

WOW has it really been 10 years since me and Michel took the plunge?? Time has truly flown by. I can honestly say they have been the best 10 years I have experienced. So many exciting things have taken place since we said "I DO". We now have 4 beautiful children, I still can't believe I have 4. We have lived in 2 homes, and one not so great, cockroach infested apartment. Me and Michel have experienced many challenges along the way as well. We have lost 4 Grandparents, both my grandmas, as well as Michel's grandpas. But the hardest loss for me was the loss of my father 2 yrs ago. If it were not for Michel I could not have gotten through that dark and trying time in my life. He has been there for me every step of the way. He is an amazing father to the kids and supporter to me. I am grateful that I have been so blessed to have Michel in my life, here on earth and through the eternities. As I look back on our wedding pictures I still can clearly remember that day, I can also remember what it felt like to have a waist!! I am excited to see what the next 10 yrs will bring (hopefully in 10 yrs I will get my waist back). Michel I love you, You mean the world to me and the children. What more can I ask for, you are a hard worker which has allowed me to stay home with the kids and try to be the mother that I strive to be. Thank you for giving me all I have ever wanted and more.

BABY, It's Cold Outside!!

The finished product.

My Boys. What a handsome group!

Michel and his BIG snowball.

Well we decided to take the kids to the snow, they had a blast. Big Boy decided he wanted to make a snowman and started rolling a ball of snow and we were so surprised that it got so big. Katelyn was a little jealous so she started her own. Well Ashlyn she played for a little bit but decided it would be more fun staying in the car with mommy and Tyler. Snow is so pretty we were glad we finally got some of the white stuff. It almost makes me want to take the plunge and go skiing, it has only been 5yrs or so. But I think I will wait until Tyler is a little older. It sure is nice to see Arizona in a different light.
