Sorry Family Sorry Blog

So I need to apologize and forgive myself for not posting. It was a so called journal of mine to express and document our family and was also very theraputic for me. After the birth of my third little Angel Andilyn and after some other major extended family drama I let it go....I am now going to try to return and post at least once a month...may this be a return. For my Family I cherish, life still remains sweet.

New Things

Andailyn has come in to her cute a bit feisty like her sister personality....independent. Like a girl should be but still so tender and sweet. A unique thing she started is when I bring her down from bed, she points to the piano and says "Dance". This was one of her first words:) I guess we may have a tiny dancer on our hands...I hope that would be so fun. Here she is doing her first art with Moma.





Beau is still our spunky joy. She started her dance class and loooooooves it. I became a bit teary eyed when I watched her do her first plies'.... I remember my first time,my Mom probablly felt the same. She also loves to do her puzzles. She has moved on from the Beaustroyer mode to creating 100 peice puzzles...this is more doable.




CharLee our creative mind continues to create organized fun in our home. He does theme parks, resturaunts, excercise classes, art classes, you name it he creates it. He also is becoming a great little pianist like his Dad, composing and writing. I also put him in swimming again. I feel it is the best for him and he has always loved the water since he was a baby. After class he had a big grin and asked if I thought he could become a great swimmer like in the Olympics...Of course son.

Admidst the last years difficulties...I have found my peace in the simple treasures of life, my family. I love you. Thank you for believing in me and keeping me on my feet.

December Performance

This past year I think my Father in Heaven knew that I would need to be surrounded by good faithful incredible women. These women are salt. He gave me this opportunity to serve and be a part of His message. I feel so blessed. My Luv and my littles came to the performance tonight. I love them. They ran to me when it was over and Beau said,"Mom I want to dance with like my friends and wear pretty dresses," and CharLee was so tender,"Mom I didn't know you could, I am so proud of you." I just now pray I can somehow help my children see their gifts and potential and go after their pure dreams.

Family Update

It has been hard to find the time to devote to our blog but if I am using it for a journal I know its importance. This year like all years has had its ups and downs. We continue to live simply happy and that is...we have each other and we have our Savior watching over us. Our children continue to grow and I wish I could just stop time a bit.

Andilyn is still sweet as ever....except when she deals with food and then she shows her feisty side. She turned one. We did a very simple home party with the Lisonbees and Essa. I made her sweet potatoes with pecan crust for a cake, and she looked adorable pushing her baby stroller. She has started to jab, she says Moma, Dad, Dog, Kitty,eyes, teeth. Speaking of teeth, she had an accident this week and we had to rush her to the ER and we are hoping her two bottom teeth will take re-root. It was extremely difficult to see her hurt....my heart ached but all is well.Andilyn has also started to wave goodbye and give the most tender kisses.



Beau started preschool this year and loves it. She continues to have a very inquisitive mind and gets into some mess most days...we are trying to break her of drawing on walls. She loves to draw and give her snow white a bath. Still loving all things pink and princess and demands to wear dresses every day. She also loooves her kitty and will drag her around like a limp doll. Amidst me trying so hard with the veggies, she is our sugar baby, always asking for a treat.



CharLee is now in 3rd grade and is doing well. He loves to create. He is always planning some sort of family activity. The other night he planned the "lets see if the parents can have fun party" and had Matthew and I play games he instructed. He continues to love to draw and entered his picture of his family at disneyland this year in reflections. He also is into creating his own movies and video games. He is continuing piano and wishes to take voice and acting lessons. I don't know what I would do without his tenderness, he is my great helper with the girls.

My Son turns 9

It is hard to believe my little boy turned 9 this week. CharLee you are our first miracle. From the doctors thinking I may have a hard time conceiving you, to you being quite the tropper to go through the seizures in my belly and then be bought into the world with a very scared mother having a C-section. Also the journey of early therapy and now to see how far you have come. I have always thought you to be my miracle child and now others look at you in the same way. You are a brave, sensitive and brilliant boy. We wouldn't have you any other way. I will continue to pray I can be the Mother you need to progress. i Love You. Happy Birthday.

"Little"

My bohemian babee





Andilyn you bring us so much joy with your sweetness and hyper hours. She is now going on 11mos. She has been crawling and standing since six months. She is quite the mover. She waves and says hi, dada and moma. She loves her baby and crawling up to pat Daddy's head. She has four teeth and won't take a bottle, she prefers her camelbak. She also looooves the water, another water babee:) She has been my sweetness and peace amidst the storms of life.
