2 on 2

Well as most of you have heard we are welcoming Baby #4 into our family. Tyrell and I had a bit of a debate on whether or not to find out the gender of our little one, and of course I won. I figured I needed to know so I could have a name picked out. We have no problem coming up with girl names, but boy names- that's another story. I just wanted to be prepared with a name so if it was a boy he wouldn't be stuck with Baby Boy for 6 months. And sure enough we're having another baby boy, hopefully by the time he arrives we will have agreed on a name for him. We're pretty excited to have 2 girls and 2 boys, now Quentin will have someone to run around with. According to the ultrasound he's doing well with no problems. His due date is 24 Feb 2011, he'll be here in no time at all.

Ashlyn's first day of Kindergarten

Here's my little girl all grown up and going to school already. Where did the time go? She's been sooo excited to start school.

Tia decided she wanted her picture taken also.

Summer updates

Well we've had lots going on so far this summer, mostly playing. We've gone camping and fishing and the girls absolutely loved that. It's nice their getting older and actually enjoy camping and fishing and it's not so much of a chore. Quentin's just excited to be outside to play. The girls loved playing in the water- at the lake, the spray park, and even in our own sprinkler and little pool. We've also gone to the park lots. Tyrell's been doing some work on the basement, trying to finish the one side, but it's on hold for a little bit. Our lawn is coming in nice and some weeds are coming in with it, just can't get rid of those.

Quentin's first birthday!! Mmmm.... cake!!

Camping at Ansus lake-

Tia playing in the water, she would live in her swimsuit if I let her.

Ashlyn fishing- she's actually caught several.

She's starting to be a lot of fun to take out in the boat.

Quentin throwing rocks in the water. Too cold to get wet.

We had to break open the chips while waiting for dinner.

Here are a couple morning pictures of our lovely bedhead.

I think Ashlyn is taking the pictures .

Sheesh, my face looks really dirty.

On the tire swing

Quentin Absolutely loved the slide, he couldn't get enough of it.

11 months

Here's Quentin practicing his walking at 11 months. He took his first steps at 10 1/2 months, but now he's loving that he can walk more on his own.

Happy Birthday Tia!!!

Yesterday, Tia turned the big 3!! She was so excited that it was her birthday. She helped me make her cake (she mainly ate the frosting at extra cake) and she even picked the colors for the frosting. She was so excited for it. Her cake was french vanilla with mixed berries and vanilla pudding for the filling. It was Yummy! We invited Grandma and Grandpa Arnold over to celebrate her special day. Time goes by fast and kids don't stay little very long, enjoy each day. I'm so thankful to have this little girl in my life!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!

For Christmas we got to spend it with my family in Utah. We stayed at Janet and Bret's house for Christmas. Thanks to Janet I didn't have to do any wrapping. I did most my shopping online and sent them to her house then she did the rest. Thanks Janet!! She also picked out the cute pajamas for the kids.

Quentin got more jammies. He also got a new outfit and toys.

Tia quite enjoyed the sunglasses that Ashlyn picked out for her. Now how do we get her to wear her real glasses that good?? I think the girls like the bags their dollies came in the best, because they could pack everything around in them.









Ashlyn asked santa for lipstick-lo and behold she got some and it's even princess.

Grandma and Grandpa Roberts made it over to see what the kids got for Christmas.

Tia decided she wanted to be wrapped up like a present.

We had a very enjoyable Christmas, especially since we got to spend it with family.
