Can't get much cuter

I know I'm a little biased, but really Allie is pretty darn cute. I'm grateful every single day that Heavenly Father sent me her. I'm not sure if I ever wrote this down, but oh we'll if I did. Trent and I prayed and prayed to have another baby for a year and a half! But we just thought it would never happen after seeing a doctor and taking some hormones for two months we found out we were expecting we were so excited. What an amazing blessing she has been to our family. I simply couldn't imagine life without her.

Twinners

One morning after dropping the boys off at school, Jaida got out of her seat and said," hey momma, look we are both wearing purple! Lets take a picture!" I couldn't refuse that request even if I still hadn't put my make-up on for the day! She is too cute sometimes.

Lumpy loves his baby sister

Every night Brock asks us to let Allie lay with him in bed before he goes to sleep. It is so precious. He makes her comfortable, sings to her and tells her stories. And smothers her with kisses. She is so tolerant and patient with him. Melts my heart.

Begging for a babysitter!

My kids absolutely love having a babysitter. Who wouldn't when Trent asks a couple of his young men to do the job? Brock for an entire week planned for us to get a babysitter. He said he was planning a party. He made an invitation for Evan Nuss and Joseph Conner. Went with Trent to pick out party supplies and treats. We ordered pizza. In the end Joseph was the only one available to attend. Turns out they love having them over because they can win them more levels on Mario Kart Wii! Thanks for helping us get a date night together Brock;)

321... Let it Rip

The boys have been really into BeyBlades lately. They know all their names and special moves. Who knew that a top could be so entertaining. I love to hear them battling and Brock yelling out at the top of his lungs telling his beyblade commands. I love that he is so innocent and believes that because he tells to them they do better. I love the way they have to use their brains to put them together to come up with certain combinations to make the best beyblade possible.
I love that Trent and the boys designed and built a beyblade battle zone together.
I love that at parent-teacher conference Brock's teacher, Ms. Cook, told me that Brock has taught his entire class all about beyblades and built some out of counting cubes. I love that she took an interest in his love for beyblades and incorporated this into their learning. She has a physicist come to their class and teach them about centrivical force and the basics of how and why it spins. I also love that she filmed Brock teaching his class about them and sent it to the district to show all that they've learned so they could review it and possibly incorporate it into all kindergarten curriculum for years to come. I was really so proud. Way to go lumpy!!

GeoTracks

This train set was given to Pierce when he was potty "trained". It seriously has logged many hours of entertaining my kids. We have added many new parts to the original set and my kids love playing with it. It's just one of those toys I will never get rid of. There are so many memories. The GeoTracks make mommy and kids happy!

Koala baby

Allie, like Brock, wants to be held and carried around a lot. I guess she didn't get the memo that she was baby #4. So she spends quite a bit of time in the carrier. She's my laundry buddy, vacuum buddy and dinner prep buddy! She's happy and content and lets me get the stuff done I need to. So until she's not so clingy this is where she'll be:).
