Soccer Mom

I am officially a soccer mom. Ella is #3 on the Flames. I get a kick out of watching her method of soccer. Ella is a terrific runner. She just doesn't like to run and kick at the same time. She likes to keep a safe 10 foot radius between herself and the ball. :) But we still cheer! Actually today she did have some really good kicks, so I believe by the end of the season, maybe she'll only keep a 5 foot radius! We love her and are proud of her regardless of her skill level! Perhaps cross country is going to be her sport though.

A little one on the way!

We are expecting our fourth child in January!!!!The doctor's say it's a girl ( they were pretty confident, but I'm always a little unsure after Ella's experience). We have a boy and girl name picked out and clothes for either, so we're set!

The third child!

Ashton was born April 23, 2006. He is just 15 and a half months younger than his big brother. He is always trying to do everything that Aaron does, and is quickly catching up to him in size. Ashton is a rough and tumble little boy. He loves to get dirty, and play hard. He loves going on truck rides with Adam, and loves to play with his brother and sister. Even though he's tough, he does give the world's greatest hugs.

Our first boy!!

Aaron was our tax break baby! Born on December 31st 2004, Aaron was the last baby born that year in Pocatello. Aaron loves to play Buzz Lightyear, dig in the dirt, play with trucks and anything else with wheels, he's a tree climber, and also loves to spend time with his sister and brother. He's my big helper now that Ella is in school.

First comes Ella!

May 24th 2002 was the birthday for our first baby Ella! The ultrasound said she would be a boy, but I knew better. She's definatly all girl. She loves soccer, gymnastics, playing piano, playing 'Polly Pockets', spending time with friends, and is a Mother Hen to her two younger brothers.

Ella started 1st grade this year. This is her first day of school picture. It's been hard having her gone all day, and the boys miss her too. We make sure our morning walk is during her first recess, and we make a point to say hi!

You had me from 'hello'!

Adam and I both knew we were meant for each other from the very beginning. We dated for a very brief time ( only 2 and a half months) and were engaged. In our dating we only saw each other on the weekends since I was going to school at BYU and he was living in Idaho. We were engaged for about 3 months and saw very little of each other during our engagement, since I moved back home to Washington. We were married February 3rd 2001 for time and all eternity in the Idaho Falls, Idaho temple........and the rest is history!!!
