Future Football Player


Brandon is a BIG boy. He's not yet 4 months and already weighs over 18 pounds and is at least 25 inches long. He now fits into his BYU jersey, so we had to take him out for a photo shoot. Look at how big his hands are! He seriously might become a football player if he continues to grow at this rate. And I have to say that the first picture really looks like a football face!

Talkin' with my Sis

Allyson laid on the bed with Brandon and started talking to him. We couldn't believe the conversation that developed. Quite adorable.

Going with the Flow

Know what happens when you're child #5? You get lugged around to everything: track meets, softball games, piano lessons, badminton tournaments, gymnastics, church meetings, visiting teaching, after school pickups, grocery shopping, & on & on. And this little guy takes it all in. He never fusses. He just tags along as if he were as happy as could be. Amazing! Carseat to grocery cart to stroller to Mommy's arms - it doesn't matter. He just smiles and looks around. I am one LUCKY MOM!

A New Thing

Baseball Hats: I know this isn't a big deal for most people, but for our family, the only real baseball hats we've seen lying around are for adults (except for the one pink Dora hat which has survived 4 kids). So, when we went to Yosemite and put this hat on Brandon's head, the entire family was..... giddy! Yes, we just couldn't stop giggling with delight. How fun for us. I'm sure this is just the beginning, however, for now, it's the only pint-sized baseball hat in our home and we're loving it.

Go for it BABY!




Allyson qualified for the track team as one of the three best long jumpers at her school (4th graders). Troy's dad took the challenge of getting the perfect shot of her in the air. I think he mastered it! (He actually laid on the ground and inched under the fence to get the shots.) Too see more of his great photos, check out his website.

Daddy's Helper


At 2 years of age, we have a constant shadow with us asking to help or do what we are doing. What a perfect excuse to send her outside (and give me a little break). Camille was in heaven washing the car with her daddy. She took great pride in the work she was given and she followed instructions perfectly. What a kid! And the car looks beautiful!

Our baby boy




Brandon is 3 months old now - and is one GOOD baby. He's sleeping 10 hours at night without waking up! I know, I'm lucky. He's content and happy and good natured. He's also quite a big baby - about 18 pounds already and barely squeezing into his 6 month clothes. His sisters adore him and he gets tons of attention. We think he's pretty dang cute.
