what a beautiful mess

Today is my sister Jessicas 30th birthday!!! (she is the one on the far left) Happy Birthday Jessica! We miss you and your family so much and are hoping and praying that we get to see you on Thanksgiving. I cant believe you are starting the fourth decade of your life. Sometimes it feels like just yesterday you were spitting over the side of the bed and sucking it back up. That was really gross. The best part about you though is how kind you are and how patient you are. You are such a good mother and sister! We miss you and love you and wish we could see you, especially on your birthday. Have a great day! Also celebrating a birthday today is Stacie, my sister in law. She is such a fun and selfless person. If you ever say you like something of hers, say her toaster, she will give it to you. Just like that. Im not sure but I think she is finally 18 today. Yea Stacie! Just kidding, I know you are 27 (right?) Hope you have a great day! We love you and miss you!

Joshua trying to wake up Stephen! She has always had crazy hair... Annas gymnastics, she is in the pink that you can barely see! The girls with their friend and her puppies. I think I am going to see how many posts I can use the world "update" in the title. But that is what this is. An update. I got a new calling on Sunday as the first counselor in the Young Womens. I love serving in the YWs so I am very excited. Our ward only has about 4 or 5 active girls and only 10 girls total. Trevor is usually doing church stuff every other day of the week except Wednesday night which is mutual so it works out well. Okay, not every other day of the week but a lot! Annabelle is doing awesome in gymnastics. They just moved her up a level last week after only a month in the previous class. It is a good way for her to use up all her energy. I have said this before but she is the most active child. She never walks. Except in school so I am glad about that. She climbs all over trevor ...

Its about time I give a little update on us since we are not very good at calling everyone. This is my very handsome baby- look at how his eyes match the brown stripes in his shirt! He is so fun and just plain adorable! He has a little playmate, Abby, who he loves completely but also completley loves to bother her. Abby comes to our house 2 days a week and she is so cute and sweet- a little Angel, as her mother calls her! Joshua has a lot of fun with her but she doesnt always have so much with him! Stephen decided he wanted to shave his face like Daddy so i had to get some pictures of it! He loves Trevor. Just recently he has started to want to do everything that Trevor does.He is always asking questions about him, he follows him around, and says the daddy is the best best bestest best daddy in the world. And that Stephen is daddys best best bestest best person in the world! The other night Stephen had to go to bed early for misbehaving. When he said his prayers that night he said ...
