We took family pictures a few weeks ago and I am so happy with how they turned out. Blake does such an awesome job. I highly recommend him. I can't believe how much my kids have grown. This year has been eventful for all of us. McKenzie- turned 8 and was baptized. That is such a big thing in a little girls life. She started 3rd grade and just loves it. She excells and most things that she does and it just dying to start taking harp lessons. We are going to look into that one :) She has many good friends who are so fun to have in our home. Everytime I look at her I swear she gets more beautiful!
Logan- 1st grade has been a great thing for him. He is learning to read and doing so well. Once again he excelled in wrestling... both in the spring and this fall. He added several more good medals to his collection. Logan is funny like his Dad. He makes up words and is constantly making us laugh. He is still very snuggly with me and I hope that each year that passes he will NEVER STOP!
Tate- WOW. Tate is so silly. He started pre school. He has had such a fun time and is learning to spell his name and thinks he is pretty smart. He is learning so many new things. We do miss his referring to himself as "ME" Me don't want to... Me No like it... Me love you. It was so cute. 2009 has been a fun year for Tate. He has started being able to go to work with Drew and even has his own "tools". I love my little orange haired boy. He is so sweet!
Chayse - she has had a very eventful year. Surgery 3 times. Ears twice and tonsils once. YIKES. Don't forget the fun time with Pneumonia. I think the only thing Chayse didn't get this year was the SWINE FLU. Now she has a popping in her hip that her dr is not too thrilled with. I am hoping that 2010 will be a good year for her. She has been such a happy girl when she feels good. We have loved having her in our lives. She is Drew's little dolly and he adore her. She is so adorable and learning to say so many things. We are such bad parents but we try to get her to say naughty words just because it sounds so cute. My personal favorite is CRAP! :) She still doesn't sleep well so that is definately on my list of things I hope come for her next year. And for me! Everyone still loves this girl and she is still so beautiful.
Drew- busy working, working, working. We are definately not complaining. We have taken the past week or so discussing how blessed we are. We have nothing to complain about... work is good, our children are all healthy and happy, we have a beautiful home, live in a great neighborhood.
This year has been challenging in a lot of way, but also so incredible. I know how lucky I am to have these beautiful children and a fantastic husband who loves me. I am excited and ready for the new year and hopeful it will be even better than 2009.
p.s. Drew shaved his face... it is so handsome!
