Merry Christmas!


It has been an AMAZING year starting with the birth of our 5th baby -- David Gray, born on the 1st of January, 2011. He is so beautiful, has such a sweet spirit, & is such a wonderful baby in every way! He has made our family feel so complete. We love him so much. We had our first trip to Disneyland with the kids this year while visiting our favorite cousins Emma & Sam.(We are going to try and have Jolee baptized with her cousin Emma before she turns 9 if all works out. If not the back up plan is to have her baptized in April 2012 before her 9th birthday.) Jolee turned 8 on Mother's Day this last May. She is such a beautiful young lady! Jolee is also still doing ballet for the 2nd semester and loves it so much. It has really been a good experience for her. I love to watch her dance, she is so beautiful and is starting to become almost graceful. She is in 3rd grade this year, we love her teacher Mrs. Phares, she is wonderful. Ethan turned 7 in October and is in 1st grade. We love his teacher Mrs. Stewart (we love all of the kids teachers -- they are amazing). He is thriving and loves to read. He had straight O's on his last report card! We are so proud of him. Logan is finally 6 years old this year and is in a Kindergarten/1st grade split level class this year. He loves his teacher(s), Mrs. Hunt & Mrs. Dahlseng, he loves his class, he loves everything about school. He has waited soooo long to go to school and be a big boy already. This is his year! Both of the boys are in Karate together and love their class. They have karate three times a week - Monday, Wednesday, & Saturday's. It keeps us very busy, but they love to go. Kylee is our little flower. She is 2 going on 17! I swear that girl is a 17 year old trapped in a toddlers body. So independent, so sweet, so loving, & so much drama!! She is our little baby girl and is growing up all too quickly. She will be 3 in January . . . just around the corner. She loves Princess Rapunzel(from Tangled) or Princess Punzel as Kylee calls her. She is "my flower", her hair is so "soft and silky like golden sunshine"(as Kylee would say about her own hair). She loves and adores her big sister Jolee and wants to be a ballerina just like her. Kylee's favorite colors are Pink & Purple! She loves to "dress up", always in dress or tutu, high heels, a purse or two, and some bling bling! David has grown all to quickly over the last 11 1/2 months. I am not ready for my baby boy to be 1 years old yet. . . I just had that boy!! Where does the time go. David loves to walk on his knees, which is very fun to watch. He takes 4-5 steps at a time but would rather walk on his knees or crawl - which he is very quick at! He loves to go up and down the stairs all day long laughing as he goes. David loves yogurt melts. He growls with excitement when he sees them. He loves to feed himself -- which can be very messy! And he loves to take a bath or swim in the pool. All my babies have been water babies, they have never cried when I have given them a bath. David has 4 teeth finally after months of waiting for teeth to come in. He had his first tooth @ 9 months and the 2nd one followed 3 weeks later, and 3 weeks after that his 3rd tooth broke through the gums and the 4th one just popped out a week & a half ago after many long and sleepless nights!! To say the least I am tired and that is the only thing I have to complain about. David is the perfect baby. So happy, so quiet, so content. He is the best baby to end my baby makin' career with. Sadly we are done . . . we have filled up our house, we have filled up our van, we have no more room to spare. Our home and hearts are full of children that the Lord has blessed us with. We are healthy, happy, and we have each other to go through our lives passing year into the next together. Merry Christmas!
