Here are some old pictures I meant to post back in March.  I flew down to meet Jaynie's little sweetheart Jezreel after she had heart surgery.  She is now 7 months old and doing well.

Random pictures of my cuties....

7 Years...

March 18, 2004

I can't believe we have been married for 7 years...

These years have been great. We now have two wonderful children and a house... where did time go?!

I LOVE you Lane!

Real Meaning of Christmas

A must see! Merry Christmas!

My little boy!

(there is no noise) Park is officially 8 months today! He is everywhere... very busy! I now have a taste of what it is really like to have 2 kids! Love him to pieces! Watch very closely for the surprise at the very end- it's 'Park style'!

Happy Holidays!

Couple more days- can't wait! The best part of Christmas will be watching my kiddies opening their presents (Park will love the wrapping!- easy to please!!!)

Funny Story: On Sunday we sang an intermediate hymn at church. When I told Brecken it was Angels We Have Heard on High, she sat straight up and sang her little heart out. She sang loud and really dramatized the facial expressions. It was so precious... I was a mess toggling between laughing and crying. She really is the sweetest thing. However, her all time favorite Christmas song is Mary Did You Know. It is a constant concert at our house!

Our little Elves!

Santa has arrived!

Don't worry- Brecken gave the list:

Pet Shops for Brecken

Trucks for Park

Transformer for Papa!

... and what about Mom?! (I was left out!)

Our Preschool Reindeer- Brecken loves her friends

They learned about Rudolph- very educational!

Happy late Birthday to Lane & Happy Graduation!!! Many of you may not know, but in addition to working full-time for the State of Oregon, Lane went back to school in the evenings, and completed a B.S. in Project Management at George Fox University.

I am soo proud of all his hard work... so of course, he had to be rewarded!

The box was the afternoon entertainment! so cute!

The perfect LITTLE tree. It sits atop an end table, out of reach for our curious boy... mean parents!

Future Heartbreaker!

It's been a wild last 6 months. My little kidlets have grown soo much. Where does time ago. Brecken is now 4 years old and Park is now 6 1/2 months. Brecken has changed and grown soo much since she became a big sister. She says the funniest grown up things and picks up on EVERYTHING I say, so I have to be careful to say the least. Funny note: she is now loving to wear pants and isn't really interested in dresses (convenient, now that Lane and I went and purchased a whole wardrobe of dresses because that was all she would wear and we were sick of the same outfit every other day!.... figures!!!!) She is always asking: "You like my style?!" or commenting on my style.... the GIRL of Girls! She can't wait for Kindergarten, but I CAN! It is happening so fast- makes me think of the MamaMia song- you know what I am talking about if you have seen the movie. I do LOVE it, but it is an adjustment. Brecken loves her little brother and has done soo great with him. Park is the sweetest little spirit and just melts my heart. He has the cutest gummy smile and looks just like his Papa (F.Y.I. :that is what we call Lane!). He is always happy as long as he is fed and rested. Park has been rolling over since he was 2 1/2 months old, so keeping him in one place is impossible. We are always amazed how he moves so fast and gets off his blankets. I left him for a minute in his room to grab a diaper. Within 20 seconds he was crying. When I ran back there he had his head stuck under his dresser. Don't know how he did that soo fast with just rolling. He started scooting last week, but he doesn't do it very often, nor do I think he knows how he does it- he is just in pursuit of a toy and it just happens! He loves his solid food and begs with his eyes. Anyways, these 6 months have flown.



Halloween: Brecken was Rapunzel. This is Brecken throwing her hair down to her prince (her Papa) when he came home from work for him to climb up! Her idea- soo cute.

Striking a pose.... sassy!
How can you resist that little boy?! He looks soo fat! You would be surprised to know we took him to his 6 month appointment on Monday and he was only 18 lbs. 9.5 oz.- only 50% percentile. 49% for Height and 70% for Head.

All I know.... perfect blackmail picture!

Pumpkin patch
Soo sweet- I love it!

Park and his little buddy, Hudson. Brecken is good friends with his older brothers, Grayson and Calvin. Destined to be best buds!
XOXOXOXO

Soo happy!
Brecken loves to crawl is his bed when he wakes up and entertain him! Very helpful when I am finishing something!
Brecken was very brave and rode a pony at the pumpkin patch- I was shocked to say the least- so unlike her! So cute- she was soo proud.

The loves of my life

One more thing I have to share. Something I have dreamt of for a long time since I am a mollymormon: Brecken's first primary program and also, her first scripture and prayer.

For the primary program she was a HAM, singing with a wide-open mouth and singing with a face that said 'I am trying soo hard'- it was adorable. Her speaking part was "I can help my mom take care of my baby brother and kiss him when he cries", which was memorized! The kids walked in revently and walked down the aisles, singing "The Church of Jesus Christ". I was a mess from there! Soo sweet.

The next week she did a scripture and prayer. Her memorized the first part of Moroni 10:32 and said the prayer all by herself. It was precious and we were so proud. Love her and I am lucky to have her as mine!
