New Baby

 My ego is prego!  Yep....baby #4 is on it's way.  Due July 27th, 2015.  Jeremy and I decided that there was one more precious baby that needed to be in our family.  We found out the middle of November and Walle our Christmas Elf told the kids the middle of December.  He had a special poem about the new baby and a picture of the baby's first ultrasound.  The kids were so excited and were jumping all over the bed.  Bryce wants a boy and to name him lightening bolt and Michael and Juliet want a girl.  Juliet wants to name her Angel.  We told Jeremy's moms family on Christmas by skyping them while holding 5 baby dolls.  We told Jereremy's dads family and my family by taking a family picture with them while announcing that we were having a baby.  I have been sick and throwing up every day with the only foods that sound good being top ramen and cheese.  But it is all worth it and we are excited to meet this new little one!

More Fun

 I turned 34!  Yikes!  How did I get so old!  The kids had a good time picking out treats for me and I got my cycling cleats I wanted.  Michael and Bryce also were able to dress up as shepherds for our Christmas ward party.  We went on a fun hike right by our house...we seems to do a lot of hiking on the weekends.  And Bryce and Juliet love to dress up as superheros and fight bad guys.  It is the cutest thing.  They are such good friends and I love to watch their imaginative play! 

 

Thanksgiving

 I am so thankful for my family and extended family!  We were able to spend Thanksgiving with Jeremy's family this year.  We celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas during the week. We all were spoiled and ate a lot of good food! All the cousins have so much fun together and we had a wonderful time visiting family! 

Staheli Farms

We had a great time visiting Staheli farms with our friends, the Crafts.  The kids loved the corn maze, swinging ropes and slides, the bounce pad, picking out a pumpkin, and hay ride. 

Baptism

 It's great to be 8!  Michael was baptized on October 11th in Syracuse with his cousin Chase.  It was a great day and Michael was so excited.  I can't believe that he is already so big and I am so proud of him and of the decision he made to be baptized.  Jeremy performed the baptism with Michael Young and Michael Fortune as witnesses.  He was then confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  After the baptism we were able to have a lunch with all of our family.

Summer Fun

Here are some pictures of some of our late summer adventures.  We went hiking in Zions canyon, 4-wheeling near our house, and the boys started karate.  The hike in Zions was beautiful and the boys love running around finding and throwing sticks.  Jeremy was also brave and took all three kids 4-wheeling while I was at scout camp.  And the boys are now in tang soo du and love it.  Bryce is convinced he is going to be a ninja when he grows up!

Young Family Trip

 I love to vacation!!!  We were just able to go on a family trip to Afton, Utah.  It is close to Brian Head in Cedar City.  It was beautiful and we stayed in a perfect cabin in the mountains.  We had a great time going on 4-wheeling trails and hiking in Zions National Park.  It started pouring on us right before we hiked, but luckily the weather cleared up enough for us to make a quick hike up to Emerald lower pools.We also had fun going to Navajo lake and throwing rocks in the water, playing at the park, celebrating Jeremys, PopPops, and Michaels birthdays, and staying up past midnight everynight playing games and laughing.  I feel very blessed to have the family I do!
