Update on the kiddos!

I figure that I should update this here blog... It has become something I obviously do not make time for, but for the sake of far-away family I will post some new pictures!!




Here is Dallin walking, something that he has picked up on (finally) and is getting better and better. Each step is taken with caution, but he is slowly becoming more confident! He is still so little, it seems that he is still too young to be walking. However, he is turning 16 months on the 28th! His scooting would always get his clothes dirty, so I am hoping that his pants won't get so dirty.. He is getting more vocal and picking up more and more words. He knows that I am "mama" and "no" means no.. He can say "shoes", "socks", and gets excited when he sees anything like a train or airplane! He is learning how to feed himself..which proves to be more of a task for me (clean-up) rather than for him. Oh well, we all have to start somewhere!

Oh and he loves to copy the big kids and brush his teeth!

Here is Miss Emily who just had her very first Dance Recital! She did an amazing job, and did every step right on cue. She was quite nervous about it, and wasn't so sure about all the make-up they like them to wear, but she did awesome! I was so proud! She felt really special because her Grandma and Grandpa Wiley came, along with her Aunt Lisa, Uncle Aaron, Aunt Monica, & Uncle Rivers. We had a fun time watching all of the fun dances!

Emily is getting prepared for baptizm this year! I CANNOT believe that she will be getting baptized! The last 8 years have gone by so fast! She is so sensitive to the Spirit and is always reminding me to read my scriptures.. She even took her Book of Mormon to school one day to read in her spare time. It was a great missionary tool because some kids that ride to school with us aren't members and they were asking her about her book. She wants to give them a Book of Mormon and won't stop nagging me about it! So proud of our little Dancer/Missionary! Uncle Robert, you should be proud!

Easton is such a lively 4 year old. He is learning so much in Preschool and is actually learning to read. He is smart as a whip and loves every minute of his class. He is content to play with his little cars and toys, or "watch a show", or play hide-n-seek with me or his dad. He is such a pleasant boy to have around, and makes me realize that the little things are the most important! We are excited to have him play soccer this year, and he's super excited about that, mainly cause he'll get to wear "cool shoes"..

He is getting so good at his new bike. The few days of nice weather that we've had lately are perfect for a bike ride! He goes around the front and through the alley about a hundred times before he'll come in with rosy cheeks from the cold. He loves it!!
