A two year update.

Our little family

5 years

Lyrah 4, Jaith 2, and Delon 9 months

I can't for the life of me figure out how to add images and type at the same time. I NEED to get back to blogging. I can't believe my last post was almost exactly two years ago and now instead of 2 we have 3 little ones. I am going to try to start slow and get myself caught up on the last 2 years. I was glad to see a few pictures of Jaith already on here as the camera card I had when he was a baby went corupt so I have no pictures of his first year except what I managed to put on here or fb. I've got a lot of house cleaning to do both in my house and mind so am hoping maybe this will help a little. Any way I want to thank Lynisha Weeda Photography for these pictures. I love the pictures she takes and want to do better at capturing a little more of our life.

Exciting News!

So most of you should know by now that we are expecting again this year. We had our first Dr appt today and I was rather anxious since the miscarriage though the morning sickness was reassuring. Anyway the Dr thought I was measuring bigger than I should have been for the dates I thought so the did an ultrasound and we found out that I am three weeks farther along. Yeah for that maybe the morning sickness will be over sooner than we thought. The second part of our news is that we get to go to Alaska in May with my in laws. Gene had lived in Alaska with his mom and dad when he was younger then when his dad died his mom moved with him back to CO. After high school he went back up there to work a few years. Anyway he asked Floyd, Lyrah and I to come along with him a Beth on their trip so we will get to see where he lived and worked ect. We are flying into Anchorage and get to do some touring around there then taking the train to Denali for a day and then onto Fairbanks for the rest of the trip. We will fly out of Fairbanks straight back to Denver right before our summer convention. So today I asked the Dr about a trip like that and she said everything should be fine. So we are hoping for no morning sickness by that time. All for now. Enjoy your spring.

13 months.

Oh where did 12 months go. There were so many pictures I wanted to take and well I forgot my camera so I will just have to settle for what I have. This is our little bit on halloween. Well pictures aren't loading so you will have to wait a day or so to see them.

Lasts and firsts

Mommies goofy girl.


this is the last picture of her crawling in the swimming pool. Grandma got a video of the first time she tried to stand from a sitting position. Which will probably be the last as next summer she will be walking.

playing ball with daddy

One of the last time's she falls asleep in her swing.

She went on the Walk of Hope Cancer walk with daddy last Friday night while I was working.

Around the time Nish did the blog about Kyrie getting older I was thinking about watching for Lyrah's lasts. I know she's not a year old yet and hasn't done a lot of her firsts but she is growing and changing so fast that she will soon have a whole pile of little lasts. She has already had her last little toothless grin and her last bottle with daddy or grandma. Or at least I hope they don't give her a bottle anyway when I'm not looking. We've had the last time we can leave her alone on a bed and soon will be the last time I can leave her at the bottom of the stairs while running up stairs quickly to do something because she is already trying to climb them. I can't set her down in the back yard and run around front for the hose as she can creep now and tries to follow me. She also walks the walls or furniture after us. She is learning the word no, eating everything she can put in her mouth and jabbering up a storm. So here are a few pictures of our summer of first and lasts.

9 Months old!

I love to try to stand.

She pulled her head band over her eyes and then laid there and laughed.

Not being very photo friendly

I know I can crawl but I'd rather try to stand up or fall down and roll to where I want to go.

My attempt at a french braid.

She has enough hair for it, its just getting her to sit somewhat still to do it.
