Brynlee is our little wildfire. She is always on the go and keeps us on our toes. She's becoming quite the writer! She LOVES to draw (and not just on paper). She is one and holds her pen absolutely perfect. We've found her handiwork on our pillows, sheets, walls, movies, windows, the list is endless... She's got a will of her own and does NOT back down. But she's started saying, "Okay" and obeying quickly when I ask her to do something which I'm LOVING!!

Kanyon is ALL BOY! He loves wresting with his dad (or anyone willing to take a beating), fixing things, and playing outside. If I peek out to check on him, chances are he's dragging a 2X4 somewhere or has a hammer out "fixing" something. As long as he stays busy, he stays out of trouble. He's got the "early to rise" part down almost too good. He's usually up by 6, ready to start his day. He's tender-hearted and tells us every day, "I love you."

Aleah is incredible! She is 4 now and is always trying to help out. She has developed an interest in Princesses (did not get that from me) and dreams about being a real princess. She is smart and loves to learn. She memorized all 13 articles of faith this year as a sunbeam.

Dan is incredible! He's still the scout master and works overtime on his boys. He got straight A's last semester. He graduates in May with a double major in Business Marketing and Management. We're excited for that. We still don't know what we're doing after that, but we're in the process of figuring that out. I sure feel lucky to be married to him!
I worked hard last year and lost a total of 67 lbs, 48 inches, and 10 dress sizes. I turned 30 and I'm feeling good. Got skinny just in time to get fat again. Baby number 4 will join our family this August! And we are sure excited!! I really couldn't ask for a better husband or kids. I feel incredibly blessed and lucky.
