The Flight Called TIME!

My, my, where does the time go. I just noticed that I had not posted a blog update in over a month. So I thought that I would give a quick update to all the busyness we have been doing. OK, so it has been since right before Halloween that I posted....and I don't even have the pics from Halloween up yet. Am I a slacker or what? Don't answer that.

Emma has been growing like a weed. I can't believe she is already 6 months old. She is rolling over, sitting up and eating now. We took her to the doctor for her check up last week. She grew another 3 inches which put her off the "charts" for height and she weighed in at just above 15 pounds. She has finally put on some fat rolls in the last few months and has the cutest round, firm cheeks - which are undeniably too fun to kiss over and over and over and.......you get the idea! Her eyes are starting to change color. Right now they are a mix of green and brown and grey. Still waiting to see the final result.

Kylee lost her other front tooth. So now she can officially say that all she wants for Christmas is her two front teeth! She has also been tormenting me for months to let her cut her hair short in an a-line cut. I think she is adorable with long hair, but I guess it is not my hair to decide....so she is getting her hair cut tomorrow. I will post the new do Friday.
















Cayden has been perfecting his torturing techniques on Emma and refining his "drive my parents" nuts skills. He is the same energetic, happy boy that we love! His newest sayings are "you're goin' down" from the ninja turtles and calling everybody a "dirtbag". He definitely creatively expresses himself. I think I need to monitor some of the cartoon's he is watching.

Riley is supposed to be testing for his yellow belt next month and is excited his Dad is finally going to let him advance. We got to go watch him while we were in Poci for Thanksgiving and he was one of the best looking dudes in his class. He has great form and is very quiet and respectful. Even though Joey still says he can kick his trash with Jiu Jitsu!

Joey has decided to go to Weber State and get a degree in Drafting Engineering. Funny thing is it is the original degree he wanted to get when he started this journey and everyone kept talking him out of it. He is very excited and determined to finish so much so that he is studying hard for the math placement test so that he does not have to spend an
entire year just taking the math classes that he needs. Good luck sweetie!

Joey's sister Wendi and her family were sealed in
the Idaho Falls temple on Black Friday. It was a wonderful day for them and we were glad we could be there with them. It has been so special to watch them grow as a family and we hope the best for them. Here is a picture of their new eternal family that I took outside the temple.
