Wanna See something cute?

Matching outfits from Christmas make for the cutest picture!

Brandon, concentrating on the notes....

My boys....

So Auntie Tracie and Uncle Jimmy splurged and spoiled the kids with the Guitar Hero set... drums, microphone and guitar. Brandon couldn't have been more thrilled. Donovan found his own "guitar hero" later in the week at the local thrift store for $2.50. He couldn't be prouder either! The two make quite a pair, standing in front of the Wii. Tysen just gets a kick out of running around bugging them while they "play."

Almost half way done!.... okay, sort of.

So here I am, 16 and a half weeks pregnant!

The "Side view"

Doing homework

Here I was, 13 wks pregnant

working hard


Brandon is so great at coming home and getting his homework done. He is auch a wonderful student and we are proud of him. Donovan just has to be like him and wants to do homework with him. Aren't they cute? And speaking of cute, look at my honey and I (picture taken a month ago)!

December Activities

Ty Ty!

Donovan looking too cute...

Brandon working hard to dig the snow tunnel.

Ah, getting to play outside in the snow is the best!

Though most of the time lately, it has been too cold for the boys to get outside and play, they have sure had fun when the weather did permit it. Tysen tries to get out there with his big brothers, but it is just still a bit hard for him to get around in the deeper snow in his big ole snow suit.

Kelly News

We have an announcement! Phillip and I are excited to tell you all about the upcoming arrival of Baby #4! I am trying to think "Pink Thoughts" but my odds of past have been pretty consistent.... anyhow, we shall see!!!

Too cute, or what?

Brandon, who was also a Scarecrow



Well, we went to a carnival and then the kids went to the firestation for a special tour of trucks and all. They had a blast and I think they looked pretty good too!

Trip to Albuquerque, NM. 10-2008

My boyz and I at the Balloon Fiesta



Grandpa and my clock that he made

My cousin Amanda and I in front of the waterfall at the Botanical Gardens.

We were blessed to travel to NM, visit family and go to the Annual Balloon Fiesta! People kept looking at me telling me I was brave (or crazy) to travel alone with three kids but they were so good and such excellent travelers. We took two separate strollers and Brandon, my sweet helper, was awesome. I just don't know what I would do without my big boy. Seems I look at him and he grows older, wiser and more mature each day. Does everyone think that of their eldest child? As I beam and stretch with pride, I am also saddened by how fast the time is flying. Seems he was just a teeny wittle precious baby in my arms. Now he, Donovan and Tysen all three have the engery of whirlwinds and give me such pleasure and love. Anyhow, we were in Albuquerque for 10 days. The boys had a blast playing outside in the sunshine. Because we never really had a summer here in AK, 85-90 degree weather was just what the Dr. ordered. They spent their days drawing on the sidewalk with chalk, making mudpies, taking care of Grampa's horses, making mudpies, getting dirty and oh, did I mention making mudpies? I was thrilled to spend time with all my relatives. Aunts, uncles, cousins, you name it. We enjoyed each other's company immensely. We went to the Albuquerque Aquarium and Botanical Gardens, got some shopping in, and the highlight was definitely the Balloon Fiesta. We woke up at 3:15am to make it in time. We drove to town and caught a shuttle to the field. It was dark and as the balloons glowed, the kids were sleepy, but in awe. The mass assention sent hundreds and hundreds (I know there were at least 989 balloons, that was the highest marker I saw) of beautiful ballons of all shapes into the NM Horizon. Beautiful! My granpa spent a lot of time finishing a large grandfather wall clock he made especially for me and I was so proud to bring it home. Grammie, as always, spoiled us all rotten. I think my kiddos came home with a brand new wardrobe! ha! I hope you enjoy these pics....My love to you all - To those from the Great 505 - I miss you already!

We TRUELY are blessed.

You know, sometimes we spend time thinking "oh, I wish I .... " or "Gosh, wouldn't it be nice if...." How often do we really sit back and say "Wow, we are so blessed."??? I was thinking today about all the many ways God has entered our lives and enriched them so. I have a wonderful husband and father for our boys. I have three of the cutest and most precious boys in the world. I have friends and family who love us.... a beautiful home and so many opportunites that many people are not granted in a lifetime. I just want to openly profess and give the glory to God. For truely, he has blessed us.
