Another Update

It has been a long time since I have updated our blog. At the end of July we found out we are expecting our third child in March and it is a boy! We are so excited! We had a great fall and Christmas season. Here are a some pictures of things we have been up to.

Max and Maddie have a great time playing together (most of the time!). With Dad's help they built a tower that reached the ceiling.


We had a relaxing end to our summer as I was pretty sick in the first trimester. We did get in a trip to the zoo which the kids loved.

In the fall, Max started 2nd grade, he is still attending Excelsior Academy, it has been a great school for him and he has a really good teacher this year. He is loves learning everything he can but his favorite subject right now is Math. Maddie started preschool she is starting to read and write. It is so much fun to see her progressing.

For Halloween Max was Wall-E again. He got a lot of attention with his great costume that Bret made last year. Maddie was Pinkalicious.

In December, we got a new camera. It takes great pictures and video and has been so nice to have. I took some practice shots when we first got it, this is my favorite that I took of Max and Maddie together.

We had a great Christmas spending time together and visiting family. I love watching the kids open presents on Christmas morning. At the end of December, Bret and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. We took a few days together and visited 10 temples. We feel so blessed that we live so close to so many temples.

The kids love to get new Christmas jammies on Christmas Eve.

One of Maddie's favorite Christmas presents was the Rupunzel Doll that Max gave her.

Max's favorite (and Dad's) was the Erector set he got from Santa.


During Christmas Break we got to go to Manti a couple of times. The kids had so much fun sledding with their cousins.
