Our Family

Well I've given into the pressure - and started a blog. I know, I know, it's a shocker, but we're gonna give it a whirl.

Our family consists of Me, (Emily), my awesome and handsome husband, Chance, and our 3 beautiful (and BUSY) kids and one little-one on the way.

Our kids: Morgan is our oldest, most level-headed, and most honest and obedient child. She will be 6 this February, and she is LOVING kindergarten She reminds me of me when I was that age.

Here's our Morgan on her very first day of Kindergarten last fall. Cute little girl.

Grace. Well Grace is our 2nd child - our most crazy and our most mischievous. She is a mini-Chance. She has the funniest sense of humor, and is just goofy. She will be 3 in March, and we're still trying to coax her not to suck her thumb, and to use her words instead of throwing fits all the time.

Here's a picture of our typical Gracie. Crazy Gracie.

Crede (not Creedey, not Cred, it's pronounced Creed) is our youngest and since he's only 12 months behind Grace, he's in for trouble as well. He turns 2 in April and he is the cutest little boy ever. He copies anything his older sister attempts. As a result, he talks really well for his age, and he gets into things really well for his age too. On the plus side, he can sing "Cha cha cha chia!" and he always says "love you Mom." Cute cute.

Here's Crede on a camping trip from last Summer...he likes dirt.

Chance: He works (when he HAS work) in cement work. He works very, very hard for our family, and as a result, I am blessed to be able to stay home with our kids everyday. Chance has a very quick and funny sense of humor and makes me laugh ALL the time...and at times it drives me nuts because I want to stay mad at him...I just can't. He just turned 32 in November, and I am not letting him forget the fact that he's getting OLD! heh heh...

like father like son? I wonder where they get it. This is Chance at Bear Lake last Summer.

Me: I stay home with kids during the day, and I try not to puke because of the whole "being pregnant" thing. I wasn't quite expecting a baby so soon after my two "twins", but we're just grateful that our Heavenly Father trusts us with one more of his children. Lets just hope that we don't let Him down on this one. I also try to be creative in some way during my day. I scrapbook, knit, paint, draw, and read...and I try to do ONE of those things each day. Oh, and maybe straighten up my house or make the kids dinner. I will be 31 this March, and I am thinking how crazy it is to have so much grey hair. It's strange getting older.

So that's our family in a little nutshell....a little Austin Powers there...but I digress. So let's see what this blog will bring. Happiness? Sanity? Stress? Entertainment? Therapy? You'll help be that judge.

Have a great day, and we'll check in soon.
