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.
I put her in bed with Billy one morning while I took a shower and this is how she fell asleep, with her arms spread all out.
Here she is her first time to church. We kept her away for a few weeks before we took her. Paranoid mother....I know. Look at those cheeks getting chunky!
I hate the look of these ugly pacifiers but she seems to like it and keeps it in her mouth easier than the other ones. They do make them in pink which I have but these one's are softer.
She does like her swing on occasion, depends on her mood. Her favorite place is being held. Wouldn't you know it, my last baby is a "hold me" baby just like her sister was.
Crew turned 2 on February 21st. We love our crazy Crew, never a dull moment with him around. We celebrated by going to Chuck E Cheese the day before and then did cake and presents on his actual bday. He got this McQueen bike from papa and mimi. He really wanted to help dad put it together.
I'm not to sure that he even knew what was going on but he went with it!
He loved this part, he knew just what to do.
He was terrified of the big rat. Every time Chuck E came around him he would shake and run away. Sound familiar uncle Chris. 
The nice thing about him playing on games is he thinks he's playing and you don't even have to put money in. Billy did put money in this one later and helped him drive.
Chris and Shelley came to visit us. We were so glad to have family around. We didn't know what to do with ourselves when everybody had left. Shelley made sugar cookies with Madisen and Koye. What a good aunt she is! The kids loved it, especially Madi.
Braelyn kept eyeing this sucker! Finally Koye let her have some, he actually let her have quite a few licks....he must really love her to share her slobber and drool because he is really weird about that kind of thing.
We went walking in down town Portland. You can't tell from the picture but they were standing on this grate thing where you could see the road right under you. It scared Madisen to stand on it but finally she followed Koye and did it.
It was freezing that day....don't know what we were thinking. Here is Madi and Bill by the Williamette River.
I thought this was such a cute picture of Shelley and Braelyn.
All three of us......freezing!
