How does a Chef sleep?

With his tools in his hand...

The main things in our lives at this time...

Between these 3 wonderful blessing our lives stay pretty busy and we love it. We are excited to have the electric finally done on the house someday though. We have amazing family and neighbors that have been helping us a lot, because of them it is going quite smoothly.

This is our great room area, we don't have cabinets or anything yet so it's not much to look at but I have promised I would post pix. forever and I'm finally getting around to it so here you are.
The way our house looks today, we're getting there.

Spencer crackin' himself up as we were on our way to the house this morning.

Addi is getting really good at her sprawled out sleeping.

The face that melts my heart...

Spencer is getting really good at a pouty face. Here are a few of his best. I love this little man.

Miss Addilyn Jean

Here is what our sweet little angel looks like these days. She has already brought so much to our family, we love her and are so glad that we have been blessed with her. Addi chezzin' it!

Daddy is FINALLY finished!!!

Carl is now finished with school. YEAH! We have played basketball and gone on walkks with the kids more since Carl finished school in the past week then we have in the last year and a half while he was working on his masters.
Spencer loves playing ball with his dad, mom is too short to lift him to get the ball in the basket, I'm almost there.
We are very proud of Daddy and how hard he worked to get his master's, we are absolutly thrilled that he is finished. CONGRATS, Daddy!!! Thank you for all your hard work, we love you.

More pix.

I received a message from our nursery leader one Saturday when I got home. She said to give her a call, I don't really know her so I had no clue what it was about. I called her back and bless her heart, she said that our little 15 month old could come to nursery. She said she didn't know why she had thought to call us but she had thought she should call us; maybe she's watched us trying to juggle both our babies and saw that we don't get to listen much at church these days. This is him heading to church the first Sunday he would be going to nursery. He loved nursery when he first got there. He left me and went and played on the slide. When they asked all the kids to sit down for the lesson and he realized I wasn't there he started crying. He was still crying when I came in to check on him, he continued to cry while I held him and he ate his treats. Eventually he calmed down and enjoyed it again, although he looked over his shoulder frequently to make sure he hadn't been left. Spencer sat down, held his hands out and grunted. Below is what he was requesting. He does this frequently. He loves to hold his baby sister and thinks that mom hogs her too much and that he should get to hold her whenever he wants, even if she is upset or sleeping. I'm glad he loves her.

He wants out of his chair, this pix. just made me laugh.

Heading out for our daily walk/jog. The kids love them, as do I. It is great for all of our sanity.

Some of more pix

There really isn't any order to these pix. Just some of what we have been up to.


The first weekend of this month we went to Layton for Enoch's blessing. We stayed the night with Gram Gunnell in Farmington. In her guest room she has this little rocking chair. Spencer loved it! When he first saw it he went and climbed into it and spent a good deal of our time there in this chair. It was just his size. We had a lot of fun seeing family and it was especially good to get to stay with Gram and spend time with her, we don't get to see her much. This is Spencer and Addi holding hands while we traveled to the city. They held hands a lot during the trip and both enjoyed it. At one point on the trip Addi was shreaking and I couldn't figure out why. I tried her binki, food, singing, etc. nothing that usually works was working. When we were finally able to stop and take her out I noticed blood on her hand. I looked closer and realized that she was shreaking because Spencer has loved her a little too much and dug a few little holes into her hand while they were holding hands. And we thought he was being all sweet trying to comfort her while she was upset.

A pix of our sweet little girl. This one is older still but newer than anything you've seen yet.

This man takes his food seriously. Especially if it is a chocolate chip cookie, or anything with sugar in it will suffice.

Our babies ready for church.
