It is very difficult to be living so far away from family, we got used to being close and seeing family almost every couple weeks. I get jealous when I hear about various activities that we missed out on because we are not close enough to make a quick trip of it. However, we are grateful to be closer to my family, are making some amazing friends here and are enjoying our time we have together...we are especially LOVING the weather!
(BTW, the pictures are not in any specific order, just thought I'd add them to the post. I can't ever just read a post, I like to have pictures also!)
Jed would be the busiest one, there have been times when we see more of him than I thought we would. So far it hasn't been too bad but I keep hearing that the worst is yet to come, so we're trying to make the most of it while we have him home!
I was cutting his hair and the front curled up, definitely time for a haircut!
She's foaming at the mouth!!! Her shirts are typically drenched within a half hour!
Reid absolutely loves school and his teacher! Sometimes he'll have bad days but thankfully most days are great and he does so well. He loves to learn and says he wants to stay young so he can always go to kindergarten and have Mrs. Martin as a teacher! She is such a wonderful teacher and very understanding and experienced!
Lliam doesn't always take naps anymore because he is never home! Such a social bug! Every now and then I can sneak one in while he is watching a movie (he usually never lasts). This time he fell asleep while watching Reid play computer games!
Some of Jed's work! He's going to be a great Dentist!
Lliam falling asleep during dinner time! I think he just didn't want to eat his broccoli! (He has actually fallen asleep in the car while singing to Adaire!
Lliam is busy with his friends and preschool. He has really grown since Reid went off to Kindergarten and he was left to do things on his own. He loves to play at his friend's house and go to preschool. He is usually away from me for a couple hours every day but Friday, but when Friday comes around he complains about not being with his friends!
Our red-neck swimming pool! (the door is propping up a peach limb that has a lot of peaches on it, which is why it snapped in the first place, which is why we are propping it up so the peaches would continue to ripen...it worked!)
Adaire has grown so much way too fast! She is 4 1/2 months old now and is a talker! It's sometimes hard to keep her quiet when it is time to be quiet (Sacrament Mtg, Relief Society). She loves to gnaw on anything she can put in her mouth and is a drool machine!
She feel asleep on her changing table...unfortunately she doesn't fall asleep on her own much.
As for me, I am keeping busy. When I think I have a spare minute, something else pops in my head that needs to be done. I love preparing meals for Jed, walking Reid to school, teaching Lliam preschool (when it's my turn) and making my baby girl smile! All in all, I love being a wife and a mother.

Thanks so much for the photos. It makes me want to climb into my car and drive right down there and play for awhile. I'm a bit jealous of Alta right now, and the fact that she is spending some time with you. Love you all!

YAY! A POST! :) I think Adaire looks just like Reid...still. She's so cute. Gavin has started skipping his naps too. Yuck.
You guys coming for Thanksgiving at my house??
It's not right that you keep this up when we haven't done anything on ours for oh-so-long. But it's nice to hear things are going well with you. Maybe one day mom or I will do something on our. Love you all! - dad
