Sweetness

All my kids are growing up WAY TOO FAST!!!  I love it when I get a chance to just go somewhere and snap shots of them.  It is like freezing the time up for me a little.  I LOVE this age with her.  She totally adores me and I am scared for the day when that will go away.  I hope we can always be close.  She loves to draw pictures of us holding hands and then tapes them up all over our walls.  She loves to write me notes and tell me what they say.  She will tell me anything to make me feel good such as... "You are the best cook ever." 

She has a genuine sweetness about her and loves to take care of others.  I like that about her a lot.  She always has a skip in her walk.  She likes to turn on the music and have me video her dances.  She will wear her ballerina suit all day and prance around the house in her own little world.   She doesn't like me to go to work without saying good-bye, so she will come into my room early in the morning to make sure I haven't left yet.  

Our family is blessed to have this little girl who shakes things up between the boys.  I'm starting to see the differences that little girls have and it makes me love her even more.  I'm glad I have a girl to remind me how sweet life is.

This is usually the goofy face I see around the house all day.
She LOVES her purse made by her cousins.

happy holidays

Hope all your holidays were filled with family and fun.  We had our first Christmas here in our new home and it was fun to start new and carry on old traditions from Christmas.  We feel grateful and so content with all our blessings we have as a family.  2011 will always be a special year for us.  Heinrich graduated from the UVU Police Academy and is getting closer to being done at UVU.  We are expecting number 4 in April.  Sitani started kindergarten this year and is so excited about all he is learning.  Marley takes care of everyone in the house and also loves to remind us how much she is growing up.  She started her first year of soccer and can't wait for spring soccer to start again.  Elijah is still a crazy bundle of joy.  He is his own little self and full of lots of energy.

Mostly we are so grateful for our health, for our jobs, for our home, and for the gospel we know.  We are thankful for good family and friends who bless our family.  We love living here in Utah and find a lot of fun things to do here.  We are excited for 2012 and what it will bring for our little family.  We hope and pray that everyone is healthy and doing well this holiday season!!!
