Kinley turns ONE!
I can hardly believe it has been one year since Kinley was born, wow what a super fast year! It feels both freeing and sad to see her turn one. She has been such a joy and we feel so blessed to have her a part of our family. We had a fun birthday celebration/dedication on her birthday. Thanks to all who made her turning one special!
Here is a slide show of her last year and a few birthday moments as well...

Easter 2010
We spent Easter in 10-mile wash (just outside Moab) this year with my cousin Tina, her husband Trace and their kids Kamree, Kade, Ashton and Averee. We had a blast riding 4-wheelers, motorcycles, rhinos and RZR's. I loved loved loved spending time with my cousin and having our kiddos play and play together. It was a fun time and a great way to spend Easter this year!

St. Patty's Day and 1st day of Spring
My mom loved the holidays and always made a big deal out of them, so I try to do something as well (with a lot of help from my aunt Mindy who always send packages for the kids with fun shirts and other fun holiday stuff, thanks aunt Minnie :)).
The kids left a shoe outside their bedroom door and the leprechaun came that night and filled it with surprises. He also made us green pancake batter and turned all the milk green, crazy leprechaun! The Saturday before Colorado Springs has a St. Patty's day parade, it was a beautiful day and the kids love it!
March 20th is the first day of spring, we spent it playing in the snow! That's one way to start the spring I guess. It is also my moms birthday. We miss her very much and often wish she was here to celebrate her special day! But we are grateful to celebrate Nana Marsh's birthday! We love you (she is my mom's twin)

Crested Butte 2010
We get to go to Crested Butte each winter and it is always so much fun! Devin's brother and wife live there and they treat us very well!! The kids had so much fun this year, two days of skiing and they couldn't get enough. They caught on a lot faster this year so it made it fun. Devin and I didn't even go ski on our own because it was so much fun to watch them. It is always nice to spend time with Dusty and Annie. Dick and Deta are amazing, they watched Kinley the whole time so we could ski with the older two! We are spoiled for sure!! Here are some pics and video of our fun time!
I want to live near a ski resort so we can do this more then once a year!!

Sweet Baby, Crazy Boy, Beautiful Princess
Sweet Baby...
Kinley is now 10.5 months old, how did that happen? She is crawling very fast, pulling up and walking on the furniture, standing on her own and has taken two steps. She isn't to interested in walking (I think she realizes it will slow her down for a bit). Kaya was 8.5 months when she walked and Kasen was 10 months, so that fact that she has waited this long is new territory for us. I don't mind a bit as I am holding onto as much "baby" as I can since she is our last!! She has 8 teeth, 20 pounds and 97% on height, tall girl! She has been our sickest baby yet! She is on her her 5th ear infection and 2nd bronchial infection. I am not sure what to do, I am torn between antibiotics, waitful watching, tubes as well as other remedies that are out there. Everybody has a different opinion of what is best, there are pros and cons to all. Has anybody else out there dealt with constant ear infections and what worked best for you?
We are enjoying our little girl so much, her smiles and big brown eyes bring us so much joy!!
Crazy Boy...
Kasen is officially my child! I grew up most of my life known as the "clutz" I would trip over nothing, break bones doing stupid things. Example: I broke my foot at gymnastics tripping over the bar cables, not actually doing gymnastics. I tore ligaments in my ankle in cheer practice falling off somebodies shoulders, not doing an actual stunt. With that said, Kasen is just like me, poor kid! He falls ALL THE TIME, close lines himself with his sword (don't ask :)), and recently he was getting on his bike, slipped and fell on the handle bars and gashed his face, he was not actually riding his bike. It makes me laugh so hard, sorry buddy for giving you this very obnoxious trait! With that said, he is non stop! Very busy, rarely sits still, and must being going going going. However his new thing is coming down in the morning and if I am still in bed he whispers really softly "can I cuddle with you mommy". Melts my heart, "of course you can buddy", and we cuddle for 2 whole minutes, best two minutes of my day"
His laugh and his huge dimple lights up my world, he is amazing!!

Beautiful Princess...
Kaya is 5 going on 15, she is definitely the big sister and makes sure her brother and sister know it! She has the most amazing imagination and will go into another world for hours. She is getting really good and writing her letters, drawing (we get mountains and mountains of pictures and notes every day). She is working on her letter sounds and is picking it up really quick. I think she is ready to start blending words and reading (any advice on what tools to use for this?). I am enjoying this new phase we are in with her, I often look at her and think, how did she get so big so fast!
Her bright blue eyes and her hugs and kisses make everything better!!
I really love my three gifts so much!

Happy 7th!!!
Today is our 7th anniversary and I am having a hard time believing that it has been 7years! I guess our three kids are a good clue huh? I am so blessed to have spent the last 7 years with the most wonderful man. Devin is so caring, so adventurous, so handsome, a great daddy, an amazing leader and he makes me smile every day. We still makes me laugh, I still get butterfly's when he kisses me, and we have so much fun together. I love you honey, thanks for being the man of my dreams and sweeping me off my feet!
