Blessing Day

The last weekend Amie was with us we got to bless our little twins. Michelle and Dave came over from Tacoma and brought Landon and Mireya over for a fun weekend. We are already missing our time with Michelle and Dave so much. During those 2 1/2 years we spent in WA, my kids and I have grown really close to them. Lynneah often asks when we can go to Aunt "Chelle's house" or "Unke Dave's house". When I remind her we live far away now she responds the same way every time. "Last time we live close."

Sorry, no pic here. I"m trying to put more on the cute sayings and doings section of my blog so don't forget to check that out! Lynneah was funny today while eating her "tookie"

Josh the Birthday Boy

Joshua Jay! We sure love you buddy! You got 2 friend b-days in a row, due to your being sick when you were 5. I think it was great though that you got to have one last party with your friends there in WA! You boys have so much fun together...I knew you would make friends quickly here in Flagstaff, you are good at meeting new people and inviting them to play with you. I know you miss your friends in WA and often talk about some of your fun times together but just as I thought you have great friends already here. You are a wonderful friend, brother and son. We are so lucky to have you in our family!

Thanks for taking it easy on me this year...you didn't even want a pinata and you let me make your lizard cake from cupcakes! :)
HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY SON!

Holding our Twinsos

After my Mom left...I had a few days to do it all by myself and then Merrill's sister Amie came to help. She was wonderful! We had quite the adventures while she was with us...including a fun trip to Tacoma for Thanksgiving, a not so fun trip to the hospital for Alyssa, Josh's b-day, blessing the babies and just lots of fun with Aunt Amie! Thanks so much Amie! And Jeremy for letting her stay so long! :) We also, found out while she was there that she was pregnant! What great news that was! We are so excited for you guys!

After looking at pics, I realized that I didn't get pictures of the kids holding Alyssa when she was born because she was in the NICU, so I thought before she got too big I'd get some pics of her and her siblings. Then, Lynneah usually picked to hold Alyssa at first so when she wanted to start holding David, I had to get a picture of it!
