It's all going too fast...

Blessing Day

 Cousin Analise was so proud that Tyler fell asleep in her arms.

 Such a great group--Left to Right: The Jones Family, The Fugit Family, Grandma and Grandpa Packer, Us, Great Grandma and Grandpa Atkinson, Jenny and Aaron Atkinson, Grandpa and Grandma Atkinson, Great Aunt Shelley Baer with her son Michael and girlfriend Alice.

We blessed Tyler on Easter Sunday--March 31st, 2013. We did it after Sacrament meeting in the bishop's office so that Great Grandma Joan and Great Grandpa Mike could be there. We are so blessed to have such wonderful support from so many friends and family. Tyler's a little cutie pie and we all had a great day!

First Day Home

Officially a Year

Since it's been a year since I've posted anything I thought I'd share a few photos from our lives for the past year. Megan and Wesley have both changed so much. Mom and dad...not so much. So I'm sorry that these are mostly of our adorable kids! :)

Megan's 1st Birthday

Halloween

Wesley handed these out in his Kindergarten class with a sucker coming out of his hand and he wrote his name 20 times.

Easter

The sweet wrapping paper my Nook was wrapped in--I'm spoiled!

And last but not least....Happy 4th of July!

Hopefully these posts won't be quite so far and few between now, but no promises. :)

So it's been awhile and we have something to announce...

Baby #3 is due January 29th, 2013. We are so excited. This picture was actually taken in June, so I am much bigger now. Baby #3 has been good to me. I haven't gotten incredibly sick and thankfully I've been able to keep working. I have my next midwife appointment next Thursday and then she will schedule the ultrasound--yes, we've decided to find out. There's no way I could be that patient. I can't believe I'm already in my 2nd trimester. It's going way too fast.

And so it begins...

I can't believe we have a 'school age' kid! He's looking so grown up and has practically changed over night. I know it's just gonna get worse from here on out. There were a few more tears than I expected--from Mom, not Wesley--especially since I felt like we went through this last year with preschool. But I just couldn't help but have that feeling of 'this is it'...he's no longer my baby. He even asked me why I call him 'buddy' the other day--I think he was feeling like it was babyish. I asked him if it was okay that I still call him that and he just sighed and said, "I guess so." Here's to the start of a new phase. Happy 1st day of Kindergarten Wes!

A Girl After My Own Heart

I think my favorite part is when she realizes Dad is going to take it away again and she's trying to figure out an escape route.
