I am feeling the daunting task of trying to catch up is scaring me and so baby steps are better than nothing. This year is friend party year! We are going to alternate.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
On April 2nd our sweet little one and only lady turned 7!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
VIENNA IS 7!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure why but 7 seems so much older and more mature than 6. It's killing both Mike and I as we think back on those days when she thought she was a princess and dressed like one everyday. Carried around her mini princesses everywhere and blew kisses to the princesses in the parade like they were truly Repunzel or Belle or Elsa & Anna. We are SO grateful for our sweet girl and she is still VERY MUCH a girly girl with wanting to be fancy and wearing a skirt or dress to school everyday, its still different. She hasn't even noticed that I packed up her mini prioresses for her to one day give to her little girl or her other little girl items I just can't part with. She is now watching Harry Potter and writing stories. I love all the growing up stages, but I want them to last longer. It's hard to imagine we won't have another little princess...we do however have many super heroes to come!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
For her party we did a Sundae Bar with lots of toppings and then a mother daughter, evening Pajama SPArty. It was such a blast! Here are some pictures!</div>

We started with pedicures then makeovers and ended with facials, we each did it on each other and the Mom's would do it first to kind of teach the kids along the way, what to do.

The next day, on her actual Birthday, Steve and Tiki were in town with their kids for a Spring break visit and came over for lunch and some play time! They hung out the day before and went to the Mobius Children's Museum, while I got the house ready for the party. They were kind enough to give her a bike basket and bell, which has been an absolute must on all our bike rides. It was so fun for her to see her cousins and then to top it off, Grandma and Grandpa showed up shortly after Stiki and kids left. From them she got a rice krispie bouquet of flowers, some piano books and 2 barbie dolls of Pocahontas and Mulan. We had a fun visit with them and got to go on a bike ride with them to show off her new wheels. </div>

because we didn't do cake with her friends, her Daddy wanted to do a cake for her and asked her what she wanted. She drew a picture of a 4 level cake that was purple with red flowers and I think her Daddy did a great job, for not being a baker. It was delcious and layered vanilla, chocolate, vanilla, chocolate.

Despite having 4 small children, a new business and living in a new place, we are keeping it together and chugging away. Yes my house is a disaster and I can't keep on top of it no matter what, and I've had to let that go. Yes my kids have gotten sick this winter, yes there is 100 times more laundry than there use to be, yes I still have to unpack boxes, and yes my couches are falling apart, but I can also say, yes my kids have very few health problems, yes there is lots of love, yes I am learning patience, yes we have dance parties, play uno/go fish and candy land, yes we have family home evening and strive to have scripture study and prayer daily, yes we can see moments of testimony, yes we go on walks and many other wonderful things that make our lives full. We are blessed.

Oaks got to meet and be loved on by his cousins, which was a blast. Vedder didn't want to let him go and was very comfortable with him. Remy and Willa, not as much.</div>

Not just a day or two, but like a week late. He just thought it was too cozy in there I guess. My folks came down just a few days before his due date and then we waited and waited. Even though we tried to be induced we kept getting bumped. It was a bit of an emotional roller coaster and needless to say we didn't get much time with Mema and Papa afterward once little Oaks arrived. Not only that but Mike had to go back to work right away too, so I was alone very quickly with four children. With every new baby, for me the first 3 months are 100% survival mode. Often times when I look back on that time, its like it never happened. Knowing this is my last little baby I'm trying my best to soak it in and enjoy (as much as possible) the sleepless nights and the not washing my hair for 5 days, and being postpartum chubby (yuck) and all that great stuff.<br />

Such a good big sister!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We left as soon as we could to keep the bill low. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cant believe that will be my last pregnancy, my last delivery and my last baby. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been so blessed with wonderful pregnancy's and completely straight forward deliveries, except I never went into labor on my own. 4 babies in 4 different hospitals with 4 different OB's, those are some serious stats. I want to say 4 different states, but it was only 3. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been so blessed, now its just to keeping them all alive, teaching them right and being patient and loving through all their "learning"</div>

I have still had to be there more often than I ever thought I would, but to see and feel the success and to know that all the nightless sleep and hours is starting to pay off makes it more worth it. Despite still having to find the right fit for the person at the front desk, and making the most of the situation we were in, finally we were blessed to have the perfect candidate join and hopefully complete our team for a while, until we need to add another person when we are able to grow more and be busier. The trial of our faith has been so real. WOW. But hopefully now I can have a new baby without constantly worrying about the office and if the necessary things are getting done that need to be. Hallelujah! Now onto the fun stuff that September has broughten...

We had to drop her off for the first day, even though she really wanted to ride the bus. Here she is in her classroom, so ready! She also started piano lessons and gymnastics, but I don't have any pictures of those things yet. So far they are going really well and for only having 4 lessons, her teacher is super surprised at how well she is doing! YEAH!</div>

Something very Special happened on Sept 9th...Mikey and I celebrated our 10 year Anniversary! It is amazing to think that we have spent a decade together. Pretty soon we will have spent more of our lives together than apart. Mike was so sweet and thoughtful, he literally thought of everything...and then some. My exhausted pregnant body was very grateful that it was nice and relaxing and quiet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a special romantic dinner at the Melting Pot. We have only eaten there once before and it was for our celebration of acceptance to dental school, so about 7 years ago. (We don't get out much with all our littles) It was really fun, then he surprised me with a hotel room. It was a fancy one that had a bath tub in it. (See below) which is exactly what I needed. He then presented me with 3 amazingly thoughtful gifts, the magazine you see below with 5 articles in it. It is amazing and such a great keepsake. Who knew you could even do something like this???</div>

Here is the bathtub I mentioned earlier. It was just what my prego body needed/wanted and then while we relaxed Mike busted out the last gift...a video slideshow of the last 10 years of life together. It was SO special and great and wonderful and funny! It was perfect. Again something I don't think he has ever done before. I could watch it over and over again. The kids sure enjoyed watching it too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To say the least I have truly married a very remarkable man that is so thoughtful and romantic. I couldn't ask for anything more in my eternal companion and I can't wait for forever!</div>

I wanted to make strawberry freezer jam, and pick berries this year, but it wasn't able to happen and so I was determined to at least make peach jam. I wanted to can peaches so bad, but it was just too much so we did peach freezer jam and it made me feel a bit better. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Picking peaches with them was so much fun and they did really well. It was our first time to the green bluff area, it was beautiful.</div>

These wonderful people are my Grandma Betty's siblings and despite the distance that they live from each other, they have managed to get together and spend time with each other annually. Not only that they have been incredibly supportive of each others children and their children's children. Many have traveled to go to weddings or attend blessings. Not only that, they have had family members stay with them (like Bev and Berry hosting Mike for a course). They are a great example to me of how I want my siblings to be! It is so fun to watch them all and hear about their adventures. I sure love them!</div>

Mike decided to take on a huge project and one that he had never done before, which he is getting extremely good at doing, I might add. He decided to build a deck in our back yard. No experience needed...right??? I was skeptical for sure, but after all the quotes it really was the only option...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and so it began (thanks to pinterest and google) he got some ideas and then made his own design...</div>

Took it easy and visted mostly, which is the best way to do it. Vienna and Dorothy were adorable together.</div>

August was a good month. We packed in many things, but still managed to do what needed to be done at the office and for that we are grateful. Our first summer here in Spokane has been successful and stressful, but getting back to school/routine will be nice and then it will be more craziness with a newborn...LOOKOUT SEPTEMBER HERE WE COME!</div>

June ended stressful, but then we thought we found a perfect candidate for the office, one with experience and personable. So we left on our long planned McAllister Family reunion trip and visit to the Stampede with high hopes of a break and creating memories!
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were so lucky to have Dane and Sarah come and stay with us a few days before we left for them to get some dental work done and to do a bit of cousin time. We had then drive up with us in Jalopi and Danger took up Mike's car so they had a car and Mike could come back to work for a few days. When we went to leave, of course Jalopi didn't want to start. Man, the risks of having a vintage camper. Luckily we have a close family friend/cousin who is a mechanic and he came to the rescue! Despite our 2.5hr delay and trepidation of her even making it all the way to cardston, we left and never looked back. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was her maiden voyage and lets say it was a challenge. No A/C and it was hot! No power steering, cruise control and a gas pedal so close to the engine that Mike's foot got burned. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An exhaust leak that made this prego loday super nauseous. Luckily the kids didn't have to be strapped down, they could go potty whenever and Sarah could nurse whenever, so there were pro's. We did make it to Cardston in one piece, however those southern Alberta winds almost blew us over a few times. It was a huge relief to be there. We set up camp in the driveway and began the fun!</div>

We woke up bright and early and went to the Canada Day parade in raymond. We had a good time, but were so on the outskirts that we didn't get to run into any long lost friends. The kids got plenty of candy, which is what they like the most. We had a fun time. We spent the afternoon taking it easy in Grandma's back yard, playing games. </div>

The kids did really well sleeping in Jalopi, in fact Lincoln did better this trip then he has ever done at home, which is both awesome and sad, all at the same time. I love the bottom right picture. Too bad we are missing a few, but being so close to the temple with the kids was special and this is by far my favorite temple. </div>

Being able to spend time with this wonderful lady I call Grandma and my kids call Great Grandma Betty was the best part. She is such a trooper and did so well having us all there. She is my last living Grandparent and I wish I could kidnap her and keep her with me until I have to say goodbye, but I can't and my little ones would be too much for her. She is an inspiration and I know that there is a special man waiting to be sealed to her and all her kiddos, I just know it. I hope I can be just like her (except worry a bit less). I love you so much Grandma Betty!</div>

While we were there, our family took the time to go visit Nan and Grandad at their grave side. Nan's passing was SO hard on me, mostly because we had lived so far away that I hadn't seen her in almost 2 years and we had a trip planned to see her just a few weeks after her sudden passing. It ripped my heart out because I was't able to visit with her one last time, or have her meet my sweet little Everett. There was just no closure and even though I know I will see her again, I just didn't get to have that final reunion. She has been such an inspiration to me throughout my life. Grandad was such a sweet man and one that I can't wait to meet on the other side of the veil when his body and mind have been restored to their full capacity. Such wonderful people who raised such wonderful boys in the gospel that has changed generations! I miss you!</div>

After our visit in Cardston, we headed up to Calgary to continue in the fun. Jalopi made it just fine and we decided that is where she will live out the rest of her days until we can sell her. Besides hanging out on the acreage, we had a trip to the zoo planned and a day at the Stampede. Being in Calgary and sharing these things with my kids is special. I can't wait to take them to Banff, do some snowboarding in the real rockies, take them to West-Ed someday and have lots of fun Canadian memories to share.</div>

The hippos were so active this day it was amazing. There was one playing with a stick dangling above the water. He would jump out of the water grab it, shake its head with it and do it again.

All in all it was a great visit and even though we had to say goodbye to Jalopi, it was the best decision. All the cousins had fun together and it will only get better as they continue to get older. They all played really well, there was one incident, we don't know what happened but we think it was a collision between Parker and Everett, either way, this was the shiner E-man got and he was a trooper about it. </div>

Once we got home, things with the practice were even more insanely stressful and busy and I literally lived at the office the rest of the month because upon our return we discovered that the person we had hired had not sent 1 claim electronically, or collected any payments, which means NO money in. Needless to say we had to let her go and I ended up hiring Jessica and Cassie from my old office in Tri-Cities to help while we figured out what we would do. They discovered that there were a ton of things that were a giant mess and so the clean-up/ boot camp process began where we worked 45hrs in 3 days for 4 weeks straight. It was nuts, but I will forever be thankful for my association with those girls. they have been so helpful and supportive and because of them we have been able to get our office to a place that is functioning so well. Now, correct estimates are given with treatment plans and patient portions are collected at the time of service. The right fee schedules are entered and patients eligibility is being verified, the credentialing process has been completed for most companies and things are just awesome! I am loving the new feeling. Unfortunately we were in a rush to hire someone and we enjoyed her personality but she really had no idea of what she was doing because she really didn't have any experience. She was with us for 8 weeks while we kept hoping it could work out and trying to find a better candidate. Luckily with our patience and long suffering we just hired a new girl today that has tons of experience and the right personality as well. I'm really starting to feel good about the way things will be handled. YEAH!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have our website up and running. We have a groupon running, we've got our new sign completed for outside our suite. We are trying to do more advertising. We have a facebook page and now we just need to grow! Mike has gotten a job at CHAS for Thursdays and Fridays and so we won't be so hard up for not paying ourselves. We have a long road of building ahead of us, but we have a much better foundation to move forward and its starting to feel SO good. There has been lots of stress, tears and sleepless nights, but the light at the end of the tunnel is shining through. </div>

The kids did really well the whole rest of the month with diffrent babysitters all day. They didn't have much of a summer at all (no hikes, lakes, splash pads, park days or anything really) but they did well. My house suffered greatly and I was drained but we made it through. </div>

This little guy would get told about preschool and so he was super excited to wear his back pack around. He is such a sweet, mild tempered, easy to reason with little boy and I couldn't be more grateful for his personality. </div>

June turned out to be a much more stressful month than expected. I guess in my ignorance, I thought it would be somewhat fairy tale-like, with finally having Mike home, our own business with all its bliss (lol) and the start of really warm weather. It didn't work out that way at all, but we still made the most of it!</div>

Vienna finished off Kindergarten really well and even though she was only in Mrs. Stephens class for a few weeks she was very welcome. She sure did miss her friends in Tri-Cities though. </div>

Lincoln finished off his preschool year really well, he loved having Amber for his teacher, he also missed his buddies Austin and Tate and Mrs. Tonya too. Cute little boy! He had a tough time at graduation, he would not wear his cap or really do much of the performing, but thats ok, thats why we do preschool, right??</div>

Sonia and I planned last year on her birthday, that because I would actually be on the Western side of the country, we would get together to celebrate and have a girls weekend. Well little did I know Id be due super close to her B-day, so we decided to celebrate early in June. We met half way in Invermere. It was such a blast. We found a great place on air B&B. We relaxed, visited, ate out, painted our nails, did some window shopping and just enjoyed our time. We also went to Radium Hotsprings. It will be fun to have a girls weekend every year, I hope. Here are a few pics, I never take enough.</div>

Father's Day was strange this year because Mike planned for us to go out of town that weekend w/o kids, but they worked really hard on these special "Why I Love my Dad" books and we made a yummy dinner for him upon our arrival home from our trip. We also all got him (even Oaks) a yummy smelling body wash to have b/c he always uses mine. LOL. Now he has 5 new ones all to himself. </div>

Mike is always so sweet and romantic and I sincerely appreciate it. He loves to get away and just have us time. I like to do that too, however I'm much too practical and he just makes it happen, which I love. We had been apart so much for 2 months that we needed some catch up time and so he found on air bnb a totally rustic cabin in the middle of no where in Northern Idaho. It had no electricity or running water, there was an outdoor bathtub, a potbelly stove to keep it warm and open space. We stopped in sandpoint for a few hours and walked around, there was a farmers market going on that we stopped at and went down to the lake. It was so cute. I had no idea where we were headed from here. LOL. We ate a yummy sushi lunch and then continued on our way into the middle of no where. We got there and even checking in at this families home where they live off their land for the most part, I had no idea what our accommodations consisted of. It turned out to be perfect, and there was only a smidge of rain so we got to do all the activities Mike had planned. He made us Carne Asada for dinner and it was delicious, we went on a nature walk, played yardzee (I kicked his trash again) and then we relaxed. It was perfect! I didn't take enough pictures but here are a few of them.</div>

Unfortunately the day we got home from our retreat, we had to make some very difficult decisions at the practice, which we didn't want to but had to. We had to change our office managers job description and change her salary, knowing full well that she probably would just leave. It was SO difficult and like we thought, she did not come back and so began the still never-ending challenge. It has turned out to be the best decision but by far the most challenging and exhausting one at the same time. Let's just say that we are still cleaning up the ginormous mess that she allowed to happen, while still trying to find that perfect candidate. I don't have the time or energy to elaborate on the specifics, but lets just say since June 20th our world has been ROCKED.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily we were able to have the McAllisters come visit us towards the end of the month. They needed/wanted some dental work and then we also had them with us to make the trek up to Cardston/Calgary in Jalopy. We are so glad they came! It was a busy couple of days but we squished in some fun! Parker is a funny little boy and they all played so well together!</div>

Danger with his little guy Owen. How sweet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Little did I or Dane know that he would end up watching our kiddos all day upon his return home because I have had to live at the office doing so much clean up. We did get to take him out for a yummy fun experience at a place called DID'S hawaiian Shack, but got to eat off of the neighboring Thai restuarants menu. Not only that its casual, with arcade games and your earn money by purchasing food. It is the best of both worlds for sure! Thanks again Danger for taking good care of our kiddos for us!</div>

I'm trying to convince myself its the new fad!<div style="text-align: center;">
I did it! I've stayed within the 3 months of being behind window! I know, I know, be so proud of me. And believe me, if you only knew how stressful and busy life has been with the new business and all the things we have done on our new home, you'd be amazed too!

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you want to see our kids in heaven, simply take them to "dirt mountain" and let them climb, dig, jump, imagine and get absolutely filthy. Truthfully I'd rather be developed but at least I can't see it on a daily basis. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So we decided to do another fun way to reveal the gender of our sweet...and last baby #4</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only person who knew the gender was Mikey. He bought all the appropriate color of silly string, covered it up and then we all got to spray at the same time to reveal what the gender was. It was a really fun idea, but I hated not knowing. Good thing I only had to wait a few hours. Vienna's reaction on video is priceless. Lets just say she was very anxious to have a little sister but alas we are having another boy! Below is her pouting on the sidewalk while waiting for the bus to come. At least I have one girl to do girly things with!</div>

It was filled with a delicious breakfast in bed of Eggs Benedict and other yummies, followed by gifts made by the kids (books, jewellery, cards etc.), a new bike and delicious chocolate covered strawberries. Then for dinner we had homemade ginger beef, wonton soup and little fried shrimp wontons. It was a super special day! Im so blessed to have such wonderful children to enrich my life and make me a better person. We are excited for our new bundle in September.</div>

Despite the fact that our Daddy and Hubby has worked out of town since we moved here and I've been a single mom in a new home, new place, new schools and ward the kids also managed to keep me on my toes with their messes. This was an epic one. We got a beanbag chair and found a refill for it. We left it in the Harry Potter room to get to it and they found it and made a hole in the bag. This stuff is super static clingy and ended up all over the basement. Luckily my visiting teacher was coming over to help me in the garden and she helped me. By the time she arrived I had already been cleaning for 45mins. Thank goodness for visiting teachers!</div>

This was Lincoln's first time giving the scripture in Primary since becoming a sunbeam. He was excited and we had practiced lots but when he was all of a sudden asked to do the prayer, it threw him off. (I guess the scripture person says the prayer also...we didn't know that) Vienna had the talk, so she ended up helping him out with the prayer and then also the scripture.He was good at picking his nose though.

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a chilly night and Everett wouldn't sleep so we put him in his crib. The sleeping bags were slippery for them and they couldn't stay covered very well but we all managed and my black out curtains are amazing!!!</div>

We also celebrated Lincoln's B-day with family just a few days before leaving, we did it...we went to Chuck E Cheese. Man how I hate this place. But the kids had fun with their cousins.</div>

This is our temple. Mike and I were sealed here almost a decade ago. It was so neat to reserve the entire session for only family and friends of ours and to do a whole session before our sealing.

We were definitely burned out by the eventful weekend. I had done a garage sale on the Friday, which is lots of work, but it was successful and having my friend Bree help out, not to mention my in-laws taking the boys for the morning. Then Saturday was Vienna's party and then Easter Sunday, along with packing as much as possible here and there. To say the least we were so burned out!

This little boy got a new bow tie from the Easter bunny and looked so handsome, however his big brother and icon, was wearing his handsome cowboy boots and to keep up, Everett decided to wear his Paul Frank rainboots...I didn't fight the battle and yes he clomped right into Sacrament a few minutes late wearing them.

So I began asking her what kind of theme she would like. WE talking about another rainbow party from her 4th B-day, but when she said "Harry Potter" I thought that was brilliant and so we ran with it and boy was it so much fun! We had watched the first few movies and we had started the book, so she was aware of many things..despite having our house in boxes we made it work and all 10 kindergarteners had a blast.<br />

Vienna absolutely adores her teacher Miss Brantley and will miss her terribly. She wanted her to come to the party so I told her and mostly did it just to let her know Vienna's sentiment, but she said she would stop in and I asked her specifically to NOT bring a gift and of course she thought of the best gift ever...it was a cute little Beanie Boo Leopard because she wanted her to always remember her friends at Ruth Livingston Leopards. She has slept with it everynight since and even wanted to get another one with her birthday money and so she got a boy one to go with her girl one. So sweet!</div>

It was a treat to have a party for her. She was so thrilled and excited I dare say more than Christmas and that made it more than worth it. We had a really fun time with all her sweet friends. I'm grateful for Grandma and Grandpa who came to help and Bree last minute who took on the roll of photographer all on her own, to which I am incredibly grateful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are looking forward to having a 6 year old around the house! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is quite something special and we hope that we instill in her just how special and loved she is.</div>

We went up to Spokane to take care of some business and got our E's little backpack for the trip and he would not take it off. Its funny how each one of our kids have gone through a backpack stage, where all they want to do is carry it around and fill it up with things. I love it! There is a cuteness and a sign of independence in it.</div>

Our church had an Easter Egg hunt and the kids had a blast. I had to do it alone w/o Mike b/c it was a work saturday, and it wouldn't have been bad if I wasn't in charge of it and had to be there 2 hours early and stay for cleanup. Luckily Grandma and Grandpa joined us for the actual event, that was extremely fun and helpful to have them there. (luckily that was my last church responsibility here)</div>

I got Mike tickets to "the Producers" for Christmas and I was super excited about our date and to see a show that he loves so much. Of course it fell on a time when all of the YW from our ward were out of town in Spokane for Time Out for Women, so I had no babysitters at all. I asked someone from another ward for some referrals and none of those girls were available, however she did say her daughter was brand new to babysitting and might do it. That didn't sound too appealing because we wanted to do a real date and go out for dinner first...but with no other options we tried her. We didn't get to do dinner or anything fun before. Well, it turned out to be a nightmare and my entire night was spent texting this sweet, too young of a girl that my kids walked all over, all night. I missed most of the show, but at least Mike got to enjoy it. Her first text started with "Vienna and Lincoln want to sleep in Everett's crib, is that ok?" which has never happened in anyones lifetime, with a million thing in the middle to "Vienna just threw up, what should I do? (which never really happened and my gut told me that, but to be certain I asked Peg and Alan to go over and check it out) Needless to say, when the show ended earlier than we had expected and should have been excited to go out for dessert or a drink, I was so pissed off by the whole night that we just came home. It was aweful! With my other sitter(s) my kids do amazing and everything is wonderful. </div>

Normally I cut all my boys hair, but during the winter it has been super annoying because I can't get them naked and do it outside, so its been in the tub or in the bathroom and then hair is everywhere, so we decided to take them to Great Clips opening b/c they were only $5/cut. They all did really well and I'm glad I didn't have to spend $60 bucks.</div>

This was their first year doing an Easter party, and it was lots of fun! We got to eat dinner, then the kids got to put together a variety of lifesize Easter puzzles and with daylight savings being the day before we had to wait much longer for darkness to fall so we had a dance party while we were waiting, then the kids all got flashlights and had to follow their string of yarn all the way around the yard to find their Easter basket. It was lots of fun, the kids had a blast and it was nice to do a family get together. Hopefully we can still do them, even though we are moving to Spokane.</div>

Lincoln was so lucky to have preschool with Mrs. Tonya this year. She was one of Vienna's teachers last year and I will be so sad to not have her for Lincoln next year, but I feel really good about his new preschool teacher up there as well. </div>

These are my sweet buys with their (gross) bunny nose suckers from their goodies from Granma and Grandpa's. They worked wonders while waiting at my new OB office for my first appointment with the caboose of our family, baby #4. The night before in our hotel room, we did videos with each of them individually telling them the news of having a baby in my tummy, the videos are so darling and I'm grateful for the idea my dear friend Aarika gave me to do them. It was fun to hear the heartbeat and I actually ended up having an ultrasound too so it was fun to see our little peanut. I'm already 14.5 weeks, so only 6 more weeks until I find out what we're having! Can't wait!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be back tomorrow with Vienna's friend party details and Easter...</div>

It was tough for him. I felt so bad. The best part about this Month was my folks coming for a visit. They met us in Spokane and looked at several homes with us and ended up seeing the one we put an offer on and that we will be moving into. It was SO nice to have them here. This past holiday season we didn't do anything with my side of the family, no Canadian Thanksgiving, no American Thanksgiving, No Christmas or New Years and they were all together(yes everyone, even my brother and sister in law who live in Maryland were there), having fun. Playing games, making memories, hot tubbing and visiting. Needless to say I was feeling a bit lonely and so I was able to convince them to come down for a week. I have lots of pictures that may not be in order at all...<br />

Valentines Dinner wasn't near as thought out as normal considering we had just arrived from Spokane the night before very late, we put an offer on a home on Valentine's Day, despite that, we still had all the table settings, just not all the red and heart shaped foods.

This last group of pictures is so funny! This must be an American thing or simply a new thing b/c I have NEVER heard of it. At Vienna's school they had a huge celebration for the 100th day of school, where they did a whole bunch of 100 counting activities, asked them to dress like they were 100 years old. I love these kind of things and so I got into it. Peg and Alan came to the rescue and found us grey hair spray stuff and brought over some curlers of Grandma Grace's, necklaces and a vest too.</div>

The best part though, was that she got to have Mema and Papa (her grandparents, who are much closer to 100 than I) to be at this celebration and hang out with her. She loved every minute of it.</div>

Here she is with the BEST teacher ever! We are going to miss her dearly. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
February was a whirlwind, but we made it and we got passed the inspection part of purchasing our home up there, so that means its ours unless financing gets tricky. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have 6 more weeks here in what I would consider the perfect home! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 bedrooms - all upstairs. simple but nice landscaping, a fenced yard, no neighbors in our face, a great neighborhood, a huge back yard, wonderful upgrades, a sliding door right out to the main level back yard, a beautiful porch cover, a hill in the back yard but with enough flat for a trampoline, windows that look out to the back yard for constant supervision, a pool and many other things. The only thing I will not miss is the slanted driveway. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Needless to say, we are thrilled about this new business adventure! about the location, the people we are purchasing the practice from, being in a bigger city with much more to offer, being closer to Canada, big mountains and trees. We are excited to be in Noelle and Steve's ward, we like our new neighborhood, the school district and location to the office. We will miss Vienna and Lincoln's preschool, as they are wonderful. We will miss Vienna's great teacher, We will miss the few good friends we have but we are excited to explore a new place, meet new people, be in a new ward and make new friends. We have much change ahead, but change refines us and makes us better. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Of course, last but not least, sweet little Owen Jack came into the world extremely quickly on Feb 26th. Now I have a niece and a nephew born on that day! Makes it easy to remember. lol. Lanae and Trevor's wedding anniversary is on Mike's B-day, my bro in law Steve and my Grandma have the same B-day and my sister Shelby may have the same anniversary as me...thanks for keeping it easy family! Too bad I won't get to see him until he is 4 months old :(</div>

On that note, I will sign out. This week is Spirit week at Viennas school. Monday was "There's a Wocket in My Pocket" so wear lots of pockets. Tuesday was Pajama Day and wear your Cat in the Hat, Hat. Today was "Wacky Wednesday" so wacky outfit and hair. Tomorrow is "Fox in Sox" day, she gets to wear wacky socks and Friday is, "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" so you wear something blue and red. I'm sad to say I havent taken any pictures at all...mom fail. Oh well. </div>

To say there has been an enormous amount going on in our lives is an undertatement. We are going through the process of purchasing a dental practice in spokane, purchasing a home there, selling our home here, maintaining life and routine for us and our kiddos, and if that's not Mike was in the ER twice in 1 week a few weeks ago and missed 4 days of work. We are trying to get our vintage motor home ready for the season and well more, but too much to go into. So I feel ok posting so late. It might be this way for a while.

There was one day my boys got really into their dinosaurs, Everett still loves to have Blue Baby (the little blue guy) at bed and Lincoln loves Green Baby, a little green stegasaurus. They even watched dinotrux after this with their dinos and would lift up the one that matched on the screen. So sweet!</div>

My sweet sentimental Lincoln still has a tough time saying goodbye at preschool, even though he loves it, and because I am serving in the primary presidency I am in there with him for sharing time and singing time and he is like a little puppy, if I'm not conducting or teaching he wants me to be right beside him. If I wasn't there I don't think he would have an issue. Anyway, I tool this Lincoln selfie b/c he actually allowed us to convince him to wear a tie. There are definitely some OCD characteristics in our sweet, soon to be 4 year old. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We love you Lincoln.</div>

Well this adorable little (well quite big) bundle is growing up. We decided very last minute to celebrate at a little kids arcade in Richland. (Thanks for the recommendation Tiki) It was perfect! It even had mini bowling. It was fun to have the kids and their cousins play games and win prizes. I'm glad we did it, even though we hummed and hawed for a while. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The arcade had a bit of everything and luckily even Everett could do some things. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is the up and up on our little 2 year old. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves to color, play with trucks, cars, trains and lining them all up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He doesn't really like any fruit. sad. sometimes frozen blueberries, pineapple and watermelon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He likes peas in ichiban and roasted carrots but otherwise he isnt a great veggie eater either.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He does well with Macaroni, greek yogurt, apple sauce squeezies and eggs. Otherwise it is a hit or miss.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being outside is always a great place for him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He really is my only child that will just go off and play on his own for quite some time. Its so nice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He still says Uh-huh and now he is saying "NO" with a hand up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as he turned 2 he has decided to potty train himself, which is definitely not awesome, when you're not ready. Arg! I'm trying to embrace it, I promise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is really into whoopie cushions, its so adorable. Just making them do "stinkys" over and over</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves his "blue baby dinosaur" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact at stores, church and the play area at the gym, he is really into real babies and its so sweet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Physically he has this funny spot right in the front of his hairline that just won't grow hair (as you can see)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He currently has molescum all over his torso, they are bad like Vienna's were, but hopefully they will go as quickly as hers did. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves baths, watching a show in Mom and Dad's bed and playing tag with his brother and sister. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We sure have loved these past two years with the little guy and cant wait for more!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WE LOVE YOU EVERETT OTTO! </div>

His teacher in nursery was moved up with him, so he gets to be with Sister Sheldon in sunbeams. It's hard for him during sharing time and singing time because I'm in there and he wants to be with me, but it is getting better and he does great in his classroom.

We were so grateful to be invited to celebrate with a good friend of mine from Calgary. We were in Jr. High and Highschool together, shared many sleepovers, birthday parties, house parties, music/dance groups together. They live in Yakima and we have been able to connect a few times. We sure love to spend time with them. Their family is adorable, Brad has been a great resource for us as new dental graduates because he has been doing it a few years longer and has the same amount of extreme loan debt and now practice debt that we do, so asking him lots of questions is so helpful! (that's the boring stuff)
Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the fondue, but Brad sent us a few of games and the dance party. We had such a great time!<br />

We had Grandma and Grandpa as well as Steve and Tiki and their kids over for dinner and a small gift exchange. We thought long and hard about what to serve for dinner. We didn't want to do the traditional things, but we wanted to do classy. Pinterest was our best friend but I think it turned out perfectly! Steaks with your choice of gorgonzola cheese sauce or a sauteed mushroom cream sauce. Scalloped roasted potatoes and a delicious winter salad with pomegranate arils, pears and candied walnuts. Tiki brought asparagus and acorn squash and some delicious desserts. <br />

After Stiki and kids left we opened Christmas Jammies, read our special "Teach the Children" story that reminds us of all the symbols of Christmas and how they come from the birth of Our Savior. We read "Was the Night Before Christmas" Then it was bed time. Peg and Alan stayed longer than they normally do, just to visit, which was really nice. </div>

Christmas Day came at the same time as most other days. Vienna slept in our room, we tried it with Lincoln but was having a tough time, when they are older, we will all sleep together or they will anyway.</div>

Peg and Alan came back early Christmas morning to be with us for gift opening and Santa knew they were going to be here because they had stockings, which was a surprise for them, which was fun for me to do. It took us quite a while to open all our gifts but it was fun! Peggy brought over Jesus' birthday cake. The white icing symbolizes His purity, the chocolate cake represents all the sins of the world he took upon himself, the red candles are the blood he shed for us, the pine branches are ever-green and steadfast as we should always try to be, then of course the star and angel. We sang Him Happy Birthday and ate cake all week.</div>

Vienna and I went on a Mommy daughter date. We got dinner at a greek restaurant and then went to the Nutcracker, performed by "the big girls" where she took ballet. It was fun to spend time just her and I, but we both have realized that ballet is a bit too long and redundant for our taste. They did an amazing job tho.</div>

I feel like we actually did a good job this season watching quite a few Christmas movies and I'm so glad. It was the first year we really have. We often would start at dinner time and do this.

This year Walter (our elf) did a great job remembering to be in a different spot, but it was still very exhausting for him to keep it up, so perhaps he will be an even busier elf next year and have to be at the North pole more. Perhaps just a visit or two. One activity he brought was the Santa melty beads and that was a hit!</div>

There is a company here in Tri-Cities that does a dancing light display and you tune your radio to listen.

Having had 3 kids int he same crib, you think you've seen it all, but nope. Everett was fighting a nap one afternoon and I went in to see why and he scared the be-jeepers out of me b/c he was up standing on his changing table playing with the stuff on his shelf. He startled me and that startled him, he started crying and this was the solution...lots of pillows bungy corded...we can no longer use the changing table, but he can't get out either.

Volunteering in Vienna's class is always so much fun! I get to meet her friends and see her interact. I loved making the finger print christmas lights with them and watching them decorate their sugar cookies. We're so grateful for Vienna's wonderful, amazing, supportive Kindergarten teacher Ms. Brantley, we will miss her terribly next year as well. </div>

However I didn't think it would take this long. Before I get too far behind I thought I'd do something and even though this is just the first bit of December, at least its something and I know I will get caught up one of these days, but probably not for a few months. Either way, I'm doing it and hopefully it will mean something for my posterity.
Our Christmas season began with Grandma and Grandpa's Party, it was so early it wasn't even in December yet, but it was a blast! I have to hand it to them, they spent a ton of time making a life size board game with goodies and gifts along the way. What could be more fun...

Vienna has been very lucky this year to be apart of a children's singing group called "Music Notes" and she was even more lucky enough to perform on stage with the Tri-Cities Youth Choir called Forte. I really had NO idea what we were getting ourselves into, but it was by far my favorite show I've seen in a while. I was very impressed and pleasantly surprised, this is much more my thing than ballet.</div>

Last year Peggy had the kids help her with a little homemade Christmas gift and this year she did too. The biggest (pink/purple) one is Viennas, of course. Then the blue one is Lincoln's and the green teeny one is Everett's. Aren't they so cute. They have miniature ornaments and everything. I'm sure its lots of work for Peggy, but they are such fun gifts to receive. </div>

I've still got much more to catch up on, but no matter when I make time, I'm always grateful I did (even though its 1am and I have to work tomorrow) because it allows me a chance to step back, reflect and be reminded that even though day to day life is usually exhausting, and can be challenging there is still always so much to be thankful for and too many blessings to count. </div>

So well, that we had our first snow! It was really just a skiff, but there was a 2 hour delay and the kids got some sledding in, so it was perfect and more than we had by Jan last year. Getting kids bundled to play in the snow takes time but they look cute!

We had such an amazing ward family in Cleveland and so we always spent Thanksgiving with a big group eating, playing games and crafting. Afterward all the ladies would get together and go shopping for wee hours of the night or our sweet neighbor Georgie would come over so Mike and I could go. Last year my Mom and my sister Lanae were able to join us for the festivities and shopping and we had Amanda here to come over and be with our kiddos. We had a blast! </div>

Luckily we were able to go to Steve and Tiki's this year for a great meal. Thank you for having us!</div>

It was the perfect day and we came nice and early before the crowds got wild.It gets bigger every year, but this was out first time so we had nothing to compare to and I had a garage sale with a good friend of mine before so all of the money we spent was from that, which is nice.

Just some of our Halloween fun. This year was pretty sad for us adults. Mike and I usually get really into it and love dressing up...and winning the costume parties but we have no friends (I mean that seriously) so that means no party invite or no one to invite to a party of our own...hopefully that won't be the case for next Halloween. </div>

I had to throw in my sweet Lincoln. He refused to sit down on the little red stool that the photographer wanted him to, but once they decided not to push it (and we even bribed him with candy) he was fine to smile with his hands in his pockets and by far, his is my favorite. What a handsome stubborn little boy! </div>

So I have been working endlessly on new blackout curtains for Gelapi, amongst clean out, bathroom remodeling and some cosmetic work, so we couldn't sleep in it until I got the curtains done and finally on OCt 24th, Mike, Lincoln and Vienna slept up top on the C bed while I slept on the couch below with the monitor, incase Everett needed me. It was super comfy and pretty warm, but Lincoln got cold and so him and I went in at about 4am. All in all, a good first time experience and many more to come!!!</div>

Our good friends, Bree and Trason, invited us over for what was going to be tinfoil dinners and some outside fun, but with the typical West Richland (tri-Cities) wind we did homemade pizzas and it was so fun! The kids did amazingly well for being out so late and they went to bed really well also! This was the 30th, on the 31st this is when Lincoln started showing signs of not feeling well but still wanted to go trick or treating and then wanted to come home shortly after starting. Then sure enough by sunday it was a fever and cough. Poor guy still has the cough but is doing 90% better already!</div>

The 30th was also Steve (Mike's brother) and my Grandma Betty's 88th Birthday so we got to send them some Birthday wishes as well.On my Grandma's 90th Birthday (I'm determined she will have one) We are going to have a big party for her and then take over the town of Cardston and trick or treat there (with snow suits probably) but what a fun memory for whoever can be there! </div>

Lincoln's preschool Halloween party was a blast and the Mom's in charge were amazing! I actually got to stay (even though I had Everett) because Lincoln was having a hard time and I'm so glad I did. I had to include the Everett photo bomb picture just because, but the next one is better. </div>

We carved just one pumpkin this year, as our kids are too young and we learned the hard way last year. It was a blast and the kids ended up dumping out all the pumpkin guts (once we harvested the seeds) and slipping all in them and rolling around. It was a mess and lots of work to clean them all off, but they had such a blast. We (Mike) carved a which face and it looked great! </div>

Vienna had been saying how she wanted to bob for apples, so while making a mess and being a mess we decided "why not?" lets add to it and she was determined to get an apple. She was persistent and figured it out. It was pretty funny to watch. Lincoln learned from watching her and got it right away. Everett just wanted to get in the way. </div>

One of my favorite traditions is our Spooky Halloween dinner!This year I wasn't feeling as motivated leading up to it (because it is work) but once I started, I was loving it and Mike was super supportive and made the Goblin deviled eggs to help out.

There are days where I want just me time, just some quiet, inunterrupted thoughts to reach completion, no mess to have to clean 3 or 30 times a day. Even though I rarely get it, somehow I am always able to find enough energy, desire and excitement about being a mother and I believe it comes from my loving Father in Heaven through His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. I am carried, lifted, guided and blessed each day. Thank you for reminding me of the importance my calling to be a mother is. I strive daily to be a better mom, and trust me, I have repenting to do every day! Despite my weakness' I keep on trying. It's so special to see it, feel it and hear it my children do, say and portray the lessons they are being taught. Thank you for carrying me and trusting me with your sweet spirits Heavenly Father.<br />

GENERAL CONFERENCE</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was - hands down, the best General Conference we have had since our children were born!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vienna was born on Spring Conference weekend in 2010 and ever since then it has been such a challenge to actually listen to it. Luckily we have always been able and made the effort to listen to it using our LDS library App, but its so nice to hear it and see them for the first time. I was prepared this year. We had fun coloring activities and Bingo that involved lots of candy and it went better than could be expected! I was able to listen and feel the spirit of so many messages. I know we are lead and guided by a living prophet and apostles, for this I am ever grateful. </div>

We always like to make a pumpkin cake and use our halloween cookie cutters every year and this year we got to take them to our friends house to share for dessert after they fed us a delcious Dickie's dinner.</div>

It's something I'm definitely not use to but I sure love it.
We call in invite from our cousins to go hike a Canyon in Kennewick, that we knew nothing about and we are so glad they invited us. We loved it so much and wish we could do stuff with family more often. Here are some pics of our adventures.

Our lives are blessed by family. That is what I love most about being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints...the emphasis and importance that is placed on family. We are all who we are because of the morals, values, principles and teachings we learn in our homes. Of course we can't do it on our own and that is what Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, cousins, neighbors, friends and teachers are there for. We are doing our best to teach important values and morals in our home that are and will continue to be very different from the current world's standards, but I believe completely, that our morals and standards is what allows for the happiness we enjoy. </div>
