Our Little Red Head. . .

Shirlynn, Our Little Red Head, loves to play dress-up and tells everyone her name is Sue-Sue (middle name Sue and nick-name Shirley Sue).  She loves playing with her big brother and her three sisters but when she has the chance she loves playing with her cousins.  Back in December she turned three and has the attitude to go with it and you add the red hair and you are just asking for trouble.  She is so full of stories and is getting into Barbie this and Barbie that (Barbie dolls, movies, bedding and clothing.)  
She is a good big sister to T'Kierra and loves to tote her around.  One day she will be big enough to really play with, but until then Shirlynn is content just playing "Baby" with her.  

She Was our First . . .

Syrena, Our Oldest, loves being a tease!  She is full of energy and wants all eyes on her.  She loves making up dances and cheers she loves making crafts and hanging out with her friends.  She can not wait until school gets out for the summer because then she can have more time with friends and less time being couped up in a classroom. 

Eating AND Napping, My Favorite Things!

T'Kierra is almost one and has enjoyed being the baby of our family.  She is almost walking, loves getting into all the cupboards and drawers and emptying what she can out onto the floor.  She even enjoys pulling open the oven drawer, climbing into it and just sit there waiting for mom to say "No, No, No. . .  What a fun game!  She Loves to eat in her highchair and even sometimes falls asleep while eating.  We thought this was a cute photo of her so we had to post it.

Making the Choice!

T'leese was baptized by her Father on February 6, 2010 in the Ammon North Stake Center!  She was so excited to be dressed all in white.  She has talked about this day for a long time.  Today was Her day!  She was wanting her Uncle Allen to baptize her but decided that her Dad could do the job. . . then she wanted Uncle Allen to be one of the witnesses but decided that her two Grandpas would be a good choice too.  Uncle Allen had to work and could not attend her baptism.

Big Changes ! ! !

          We received our Son's test results back and learned that he has a gluten sensitivity and can no longer have gluten.  

          Going Gluten-Free is not an easy process due to EVERYTHING having gluten in it.  We have been going through all our food and giving away the things he can't eat. (We thought that maybe we would just feed him gluten free and the rest of us still eat the other foods - but he is so independent and when he is hungry he just gets into whatever is there.  We decided that we would go gluten free as a family so that he can not accidently get into something that could hurt him.)
