Does anyone read this anymore?

I don't blame you... Honestly, using Facebook has made me forget about blogging... I need to get back to it! Especially since it's been a year since I've posted. :) Baby is TWO now! She's still our little sweet sunshine, with a little of the "twos" thrown in there, too. :) Kenna is a singing machine - she adores music! It is such a gift to listen to. Each of her songs brightens my day. :)

Keaton is such a great brother. He takes good care of Kenna while the older girls are away at school. They are best buds and play so well (and adorable!) together. He also is really enjoying our new puppy, Max. (salt n pepper miniature schnauzer) He is getting ready for Kindergarten next year - he is such a smart little boy!

Brianna is our big first grader - boy, she can read! We are so proud of her. Her and Taylor share a room now, as Alex has moved on to another room. They love staying up nights to chat. (I remember loving doing that with my sister!) Still our sweet, giggly girl - we love our Nanna B!

Taylor is in her first year away at school! Although, the class size is quite large this year, she is adjusting well. She is learning tons and we are seeing her progress! We were also thrilled when Taylor told us that she needed a Savior and that she asked Jesus to come be that for her. She knows she will be in Heaven with Him someday because of His perfect gift! We thank God for His amazing work in her!

Alex is getting soo big. 11 now and in the 5th grade! Where has the time gone... She is taking on school for all it's worth and doing a great job! She loves hanging out with her girlfriends now (as much as she can!) and does babysitting for our family. We are so thankful! She is a strong, tough swimmer now for the STORM swimming team. She has found something she really loves! It's exciting to watch her.

Aaron still works hard for our family every day at Rosemount. They love him there - he is such an asset to his team! He enjoys his bowling league on Tuesdays and shot a 299 this year!! He got an award and everything. He hopes to get that much longed for 300 soon!!! He has been taking me out for dates alot lately, too, which we are enjoying very much!

I have been keeping busy, even though 3 of the 5 kiddos are off to school. I am loving my time with the two little ones and feel like I have more quality time with them. I've been keeping busy with my little cake "business" as it's been growing and LOVING it! I'm also getting excited about taking off with Aaron for a week to Jamaica again in April. YES!!! Love that time alone together in such a beautiful place! I've been loving memorizing Romans 8 this year, too. What a blessing to have those verses in my memory! Such awesome truth to have!

I hope to continue to be on this blog more again... Until then, I pray God blesses you!
