Sadie is 9 and in the fourth grade. She is an excellent student and a good friend to all who know her. Sadie is an avid reader and seems to always have a book in her hand. She is also very talented. She has started making jewelry this year and she is very good at it. It is rare to see her without some kind of necklace, earrings or a bracelet that matches what she is wearing. Sadie is also very talented on the stage. She is a great little actress and, might I say, she shines on stage! Her singing voice has also blossomed as she has had many opportunities in plays to sing and is currently in our ward choir and school choir, with a solo/duet. We are so proud of her and could not do without all her help and service as well as her keen and sensitive spirit. (She always knows when someone needs a hug or attention). We are so grateful to have her in our family.
Porter just turned 8 in January and is in 2nd grade. He loves PE and is very good at math and spelling. Porter loves to have fun, make people laugh and is full of energy. He, like his older sis, is also very creative. Porter loves to build things, and take things apart to see how they work. He questions everything and wants to know why and how everything works, in all aspects of his life. We found at a young age, that Porter is good at everything! There are very few things in his life that he has tried and enjoyed that he has not excelled in. Porter is good at all sports that he tries but loves to play soccer, ride his bike and scooter and play catch with his dad. Porter also loves to play video games with his dad when he has earned them. He is a great asset to our family and has the potential to be a great leader. We are grateful for him and his outgoing and inquisitive spirit in our home!
Aubrey is 6 currently and is in Kindergarten. She loves to learn new things and is really enjoying her first year at the "BIG" school. She is becoming a good little reader already and is very quick to make friends. She is tiny and very lovable. She has already had a boy in her class ask her to marry him. YIKES! Aubrey is very good at sharing and helping others, including me. She also enjoys doing little acts of service around the house for others to find later. She is very independent and often asks if she can make lunch for her and Kailey. Aubrey loves to play games and has been called the "Skip-bo" queen, on several occasions at our house. She is also a sweet big sister and is very cute with Kailey. We love our little Aubrey and her giving and loving spirit. She is a blessing in our home.
Kailey is 2 and will turn 3 in September. She is a funny little duck that is able to melt any of the rest of us with her giggles and smile. She also, somehow has the power to magically end a fight that two of her older sibling might be having, just by smiling at them or giving a little hug. She is becoming a good, little talker and always has a mouth full to say that never seems to come out quite as quickly as she would like. Kailey is also very independent and wants to do EVERYTHING by herself. "Me do it", is a very common phrase I have come to know and expect to hear at least 10 times a day.:) She is also a good little friend and plays very well with older kids. Some of Kailey's favorite things to do, besides play with her siblings are: playing Barbi, hide-and-seek, pretend and dress-up. (When we are at home, she generally has some sort of dress-up skirt over whatever she is wearing that day, so she can spin). Kailey has a happy and independent little spirit that we count as a blessing in our home.
We love our little, family and the time that we spend together. All of us count "family time" as one of our TOP favorite things to do! Some of our favorite things to do togeter are: things like games night, movie night, park time, hikes, exporing somewhere, camping, or just hanging out together.
My Boys!
I love these 2 pictures of us. There are not too many that we have that I can actually say that about but I feel like these show how we really feel about each other.
