Now that she is a week old I think her face has developed a little bit more. she looks very much like her brothers.

Leah Hall was born monday December 7th at 9:14. she was 7 lbs 11 oz. and 19 1/2 inches. She is beautiful and doing very well. It is so fun having a little girl! And it feels so good to not be pregnant anymore. The boys are very good with her and love to give her lots of kisses.

for those of you who are wondering how huge I am so far well here you go. Overalls are not that flattering but at this point nothing is really that flattering. Oh well one month to go.

I just had to add this picture because I think it is so cute. When i went to check on the boys during their nap I noticed they were sleeping holding hands. For me it just doesnt get any cuter than that. They are best buddies.

Happy Halloween! I cant tell you how nice it is to celebrate days like this as a whole family. I love the extra amount of excitement we have this year because Daddy is home to do everything with us.

More recently for Tylers birthday we went to a pumpkin farm for the day. The boys(including Nate) had a blast. There was a huge slide built into a hill that was made out of a huge pipe thng. They loved it. There was also a corn maze and hayride and a petting zoo and huge tire jungle gym and they got their faces painted. It was a fun day.

We took the boys bowling. They loved it. It was so much fun to watch them. Dallin was really good and taking a running start and then launching the ball down the lane. It was awsome. We will have to do it again.

We spent a lot of the summer outside in the backyard in the pool. I really loved the backyard until our puppy dog Tux destroyed it. I put a picture of him in so everyone could see what he looks like. If you saw my backyard today allyou would see would be massive amounts of holes. Tux likes to dig and our backyard has paid the price. The boys really do like him though. Isnt Tyler cute sleeping with him on the floor.

We took a trip to Destin, florida. Nate wanted to see some water and sand instead of just a sandy desert. We had so much fun. we took the boys on a dolphin cruise and they got to steer the ship. They loved it. While we were in Florida we found out I was pregnant. Another bonus to the trip.

So I know it has been so long since I have touched this blog. What can I say it is not my forte. That being said alot has happened since Nate came home. It has been great being a whole family again. I love Nathan and I can't believe we spent a whole year apart. Since he got home though we have done alot. I thought I would put some pictures from the last 8 months ro so. Oh by the way for anyone who doesnt know we are expecting our little girl the beginning of december! woo hoo!!

oh for those of you that dont know we got a puppy! it was a gift for nate. sort of a welcome home/happy birthday gift. he is really cute and well behaved. he is already almost completely potty trained and is very very playful. i think tyler loves him the most though. he likes to lay down with him and roll around the living room. all the boys are really glad we have him.

dallin really loved waving the flag he had. every time i tried to take a picture he would wave it right over his face

nate and the boys!

NATE IS HOME!!!!!
well Nate finally came home! He came in early on march 9th. it was very exciting to see him get off the plane. all the families were there and cheering i think i even shed just a few tears myself. i cant describe the relief i felt just seeing his face and watching him march into the hangar. we have really missed him here. the boys were so excited to see him and are really happy that he is home. i seem to have accidentally deleted the video i took but i will follow this message with the pictures i was able to take. thank you to all of you that have been so supportive throughout this last year. it really makes a big difference to have family and friends to lean on.

here is one of Dallin. he did really well holding them.

our neighbors just had puppies. the boys loved playing with them!

Our Time in New York

I was going to make this into a Christmas Card but I was lazy and I didn't. Merry Christmas everyone!
