Our kids...

Kylie received the "Distinguished Dragon Award" for her Kindergarten class. Only a couple students received the award. We are so proud of Kylie. She is such a good student...smart, kind, caring, helpful, and loving. We love you Kylie!

Peyton turned 4 years old! He was so excited. He had a fun birthday! Kylie helped give Peyton this big Buzz Lightyear.

Hugs and thanks for the present...

Peyton loves playing with his Star Wars toys...

Peyton chose McDonald's to eat dinner at. At least the one we go to is clean, has leather seats and couches, a huge fishtank, and hardly anyone is there. That's good!!! They loved getting Happy Meals.

Porter loved his hamburger. :)

Peyton then chose Chuck-E-Cheese's to eat his cake at. Smart boy...McDonald's AND Chuck-E-Cheese. He asked for a Toy Story cake AND a chocolate chip cookie cake. :) He was so excited that he blew the candles out before we could sing. He had a fun birthday! We love you Peyton!!!

Sweet Kylie...

Peyton and Porter...

Happy Porter...

Finally updated

So my good friend, no names, cough cough Michelle cough cough, said that I am a blog slacker! She doesn't like looking at my beautiful family on Valentine's Day forever. So, I am trying to please her and switch it up a bit. :)

We enjoyed Easter. We went to 2 Easter egg hunts. At first Porter didn't know what to do. So, whatever he picked up he threw. I snuck a few extra eggs in his basket for him. The other egg hunt he was starting to figure it out. We had a good time together as a family.

We got our backyard complete! Yeah! We love it. We luckily had some landscapers come and do it...totally worth it. They completed it in only 2 weeks. We love our patio, patio cover, grass, playground area, and everything. The kids love it. Porter loves to wander around and be free in the backyard.

While the backyard was getting done...

Cute Dennis kids with our finished backyard...

My brother, Sam, got back from serving in Afghanistan. We got to pick him up from the airport. We were all very excited to see him. Thanks for serving Sam!

Peyton waiting so patiently for Sam to come...

Welcome home Uncle Sam...

Kylie took this picture... :)

Porter playing with Sam again...

Chris and I did a half marathon together. Our time was 1 hour 49 minutes. This was our first one that we were able to run together. I know for a fact my time would have been a lot slower if Chris weren't there to push me. We had a good time. And thanks Sam for watching the kids. ;)
Before the race...

After the race...still happy. :)

Sam took Chris and I to the show Le Reve. It was awesome. There is water for the stage, and the show is just so cool to watch. Here's us at the show...


The weather is so nice here. We have enjoyed playing at the park, playing in the backyard, going to the library, taking walks, and we even broke out the swimsuits for the splashpark today. Hopefully I'll update our blog sooner than Christmas. :)
