Belew Party

We were able to enjoy some "together" time yesterday with Brett and Jenni here....had to add a little preview of what we got to enjoy.....




We missed having Cindy there!! Maybe one day we will be able to arrange for all of us to be in the same place at the same time! The kids enjoyed some time together, we played mom's traditional candy bar game, ate good food, got some exciting news from Clayton and Kalli, and simply laughed. Below are some pictures of the family have some good times:




Christmas Time


So I started this blog and then got busy with other things.........I know....nothing new! Thought I would update everyone with what is going on in our little part of the world. Lexie had her first birthday (where did the year go???). She is getting big and is so much fun. All of the kids are great with her and she is trying so hard to keep up with them. Here's a picture of her at her birthday party. It's amazing how big she has gotten. I went and got her ears pierced......I know MEAN mom, but they are so cute and not one person has called her a boy since!
Evan is home from Washington DC where he spent 6 weeks "working" (messing around on tax dollars is what I would call it). We are all excited about being able to have our first "real" Christmas together. I am thinking that he may be in Iraq again next year so we are enjoying him and the kids as much as possible. Probably over doing it, but we are having fun and the kids love every minute.
I am still plugging away at obtaining my master's in counseling degree. I finally called "uncle" on trying to work, do school full time, AND having a family. Therefore I gave my notice to work. Although I will miss it (and the paycheck!) it will be nice to be able to focus on my family needs and still get my school work completed. If all goes well this should be my last year and then I will be set loose on the unexpected therapy clients........It looks like I will have an opportunity to work with teenage foster kids which I am incredibly excited about doing.
What else.....Devin continues to be smarter then he should be! Aaron is doing very well and having success in school (we are very proud of all of his hard work). Travis is keeping everyone busy with his continuous jokes and also thinks he is "smarter then a fifth grader"! Payson has finally adjusted to the tough world of Kindergarten. Although he still prefers staying home then going to school he is doing so much better. Bekah continues to make us all smile and is such a wonderful big sister. She is so excited to go to school next year. As mentioned above Lexie is growing too fast.
We hope that you are all having a Fabulous Holiday Season.
We love you!

Dinosaur Park




Family day at the dinosaur park was of course one of the kids favorite trips. Devin, Aaron, and Travis were are to keep up with. Payson and Bekah just wanted to play on the playground, but enjoyed looking for the "scary" stuff that was around the park for Halloween. Lexie had her first swing ride which she loved! Evan of course wanted to read all of the information and the kids wouldn't slow down for him to do so (I am sure he might return by himself to gather the information!). Lexie and Bekah enjoyed being pampered by being pulled in the wagon. I was wishing I could have a ride.

Welcome

Welcome to all of you! This blog has been created because of the incredible love of everyone that wants to here about our amazing family. Therefore to keep you all up on all of the news I will post it here for you to view. We would love to hear comments from you.

We LOVE and APPRECIATE all of you!
