A perfect spring day

Today was beautiful!!!  I love Saturdays in spring.  We took the kids to the park and decided to have a fire in our fire pit.  We love to roast hotdogs and marshmallows.  Today was a great day.  I love spending time with my family just doing nothing.

Our Family

I met Mike in July in 1991 then we were married on December 21, 1991. We got married in the Idaho Falls Temple. We had our honeymoon in Salt Lake City at the condo's called The Kimball.

On December 30 1992 Allison Marie our first daughter came into our lives. She was 6 pound and 14 oz. What a joy she was for us. We were new parents and weren't quite sure exactly what to do with her. Right after she was born she had a bad case of jondice and had to wear a glow light. We called her our little glow worm. My pregancy with her was the hardest. I was sick for the whole 9 months and I almost died giving birth to her. Allison was very spoiled by all, she was the only child and grandchild for 7 years. She is now 17 with an attitude. Allison is very smart and beautiful, she has many talents. Allison is very creative and can do things with her computer and camera that amazes me. She will be very successful in life. I hope she can always remember who she is and what great potential she has. I can't wait till she is human again and we don't fight about stupid things like money, chores, and her getting a job.

We then waited and waited and waited. And finally 7 years later we were blessed with another daughter. On November 20, 1999 Rachel Lyn came into our lives. Oh, what a joy to finally have another daughter to love. She is a healthy red headed sweetheart. She was 7 pounds 5 ounces. She is 10 now and had an intersting personality. She can be very loving and also very difficult. Rachel is very motherly and nuturing someday she will make a wonderful mother.

Then we found out we were going to have another child this time the Doctor told us we were having a boy. Mike was so excited to finally have a boy, now he would not be out numbered. But sometimes in life things do not go exactly as planned and Heavenly Father has a different plan for you. Logan came to us on October 4, 2001 and then he went to live with Heavenly Father again. I will always have a place in my heart for him. I will never forget him. Some day we will have the opportunity to be with him. We all miss you Logan. We buried Logan in the Fielding Cementary in Idaho Falls, Idaho. We try to visit his grave when we go to Idaho Falls.

We suffered the loss of our boy and shortly after we discovered a surprise a gift from God. We were expecting again. Exactly a year later I gave birth to a baby girl Madison Kay she was born on October 4, 2002. My pregancy with Madison was wonderful and her birth was easy. One minute after she was born she stopped breathing and was rushed to the NICU. I was lefted alone in the hospital room and I "prayed please not again".... I couldn't believe this was happening. But after 1 week in the NICU she was able to go home and be with her 2 older sisters. She weighed 6 pounds 12 oz. Now she is a sweet 7 year old who loves life and is truely a gift from God. She often writes me notes that make my day. She is happy and loving. I am worried because she is also quite and sneaky.

We thought we were done having children and we gave away all our baby items and settled down to accept the fact that we were done. But as I mentioned before life doesn't always go as planned and I found out I was expecting again. The doctor told us we were going to have a boy and we were so excited. I think Mike was walking on air for weeks. I was excited but soooooo scard too. I thought that girls lived and boys died. I had a lot of anxiey with this pregnancy, for 2 reasons one this was a boy and two I was 41 years old. On March 23, 2009 Jaxon Andrew was born he was 8 pounds 12 oz and he was 3 weeks early. Wow he was a big healthy boy. And he loves to eat. He sat up at 4 months, crawled at 6 months and walked at 10 and a half months. He is very active and is into everything. We have to put locks on all doors to keep him out and all our cubboards are tied closed.
