Koye was being a stinker and didn't want in the picture.
Me, mom and Marlee. Marlee LOVES to drink water out of cups and if you are drinking anything you better give her some. Here she is atacking the water bottle trying to suck it out of the side.
Our little Crew loved walking around and just getting out of the car for a minute.
Here is Marlee being a good girl in her seat.....for a minute anyway.
Madisen graduated from Kindergarten May 18th. She was lucky because she got to start Kindergarten in Sherwood, Oregon and finish here in Pomerene, Arizona. She misses her friends in her class in Oregon but still keeps in touch with them through e-mail. She had a lot of fun here in Pomerene and made friends quickly. Also, she got to go all day here. In Oregon she only went for 2 1/2 hours a day. She loved being able to eat in the cafeteria and have 3 recesses a day.
"Our future is so bright we gotta wear shades!"
She graduated a Pomerene Panther just like her mom and her uncles. Go Panthers!!
Getting her certificate from her teacher. She had a lot of fun her first year of school. She's a smart little girl and I would like to take the credit for that but I think she gets her brains from her dad.
Koye turned 4 on May 12th. He came into this world really fast and caused his mother a lot of pain. Thank goodness my water did not break because if it did the doctor said we would have had a baby on the freeway. Also, thank goodness for my sister-in-law Shelley being my nurse because she got me an epidural even though I was dilated to a 10 when I got there....I still thank her for that! We celebrated by going to Chuck E Cheese with his grandparents , brother and sisters. We didn't get any pictures of Chuck E Cheese because our camera is still on the outs. Thank goodness for grandparents taking pictures. Grandma Farris got him these cup cakes so we could sing to him and of course make a wish and blow out the candles.
A happy little 4 year old boy.
Here is Madi, Kali, Gage and Koye. They had so much fun playing together. Madi and Kali were the bestest of friends.....we wished they didn't live in Utah so they could play more.
We took the kids to the park and this is how Marlee enjoyed her time there.
Crewser always has a good time at the park.
This is Marlee's blessing day. This is my dad and three of my bothers, Denton, Brent and Chris, not sure where Chad was. Denton and his family live in Utah and we don't get to see them as often as we would like so it was special that he got to be there for her blessing. She was such a princess and did so well while Billy was blessing her.
Here we all are after church, we had to hurry and catch this picture before the kids started tearing their church clothes off.
Mommy and her little girl.
Our friend Tyler Burkett took some pictures for us. He also did my whole family with a bunch of grand kids which was so funny to try to get all of them looking at the camera at the same time.
Crew LOVES to kiss Marlee. He snapped this one real quick and it's one of my favorites.I know it's been a while but we have had some changes in our lives since I've last posted. We left Oregon and moved back to Arizona at the end of March. We loved our friends in Oregon and will miss them but home is where we are glad to be. We are living with my parents for the time being while Billy is in the final stages of applying for the Border Patrol. If that does not work out then he will probably head back to school.....probably in the nursing field. To say the least things have been crazy with trying to pack up a house in Oregon with a 2 month old, driving for two days in a car (thanks to my brother Chad for driving us while Billy drove the moving truck) with 4 children....I think Chad will never have kids of his own now, moving all our stuff in one place while we are staying in another and figuring that all out which is madness all in itself. We are so glad to be back home next to family again, we missed that so much while we were away. Things do happen for a reason and we are hoping for the best.
My camera is not working at the moment so I don't have any new pictures to post but hopefully soon. We did get some family pictures done so I can at least post that.
