Love lifts us up to where we belong.... All you need is love..... (Mulon Rouge)
I know I haven't blogged in ages, (not that I was that dedicated before) but there is so much happening right now, and not much I can put into words. Suffice it to say, "its all good in the hood" :) Soon I will have lots to blog about, but some of the happenings will just have to wait.

First off, I feeling amazingly blessed. I never knew I could be so happy and feel so loved. Kelly is absolutely amazing and is a dream to be married to. I come home and the girls are happy and laughing and dinner is always on the table waiting for me. What can I say, Im spoiled and I love it. Work for me has been very draining and I'm definitely struggling with tax season. 55 hours a week and I'm still not putting in the hours my boss would like me to. Kelly has been so supportive and we are counting down to the end of this EVIL season.
Kelly is working his two weeks a month straight and is pretty much awake the entire time. I don't know how he keeps all of the information in his head straight but he does a great job and I'm always proud of him. His two weeks home is always a party and we have so much fun as a family. He cooks he cleans he plays with the kids and we have so much fun watching chopped and the Walking Dead, sitting in the hot tub, and occasionally going on dates! (Thanks Nanna and Grammy!) We recently purchased Kindle Fires for both of us and started reading the hunger games series. Kelly also just received his first church calling. He will be teaching the 14 and 15 year old sunday school. He is going to do great!
Grace is a busy 11 year old who fills her time with watching her new puppy Molly, playing wizard 101 and playstation 2, and helping with her little sisters. She is currently reading the 2nd book in the hunger games and loves it. We are constantly proud of what an amazing girl she is. She is so much fun to be around. She just had one of her first slumber birthday parties and for some reason it was really hard for me to let her go. It was only down the street but apparently I'm a bit overprotective. What can I say I love the girl! She loves monster high dolls and la la loopsy and any book she can get her hands on.
Glory just turned 6 this month and we celebrated with friends and family an amazing Princess Castle birthday cake and Big Bounce. She had a blast and got every toy she could have wanted! The night before, Kelly and I were up wrapping presents and I told him there was no way she would like the monster high doll he picked out for her and lo and behold it was her favorite toy of the year! Daddy knows his little girl. She is Kelly completely, personality and all. It always amazes me how she tries to negotiate her way out of every bed time, and always tries for one more story at night. I love our story times together. She is such a sweetheart.
Ryleigh is an active toddler who is busy and into everything. She loves her new puppy molly and any baby she can find. She is obbsessed with swaddling, diapering, shh shhing and rocking her babies and gets very irritated when you don't wrap her baby just right. She loves her Montessori school and her teacher Ms. Laura. Her favorite things to do are kiss us on the cheeks, read her book about Prophets, daddies dark chocolate M&Ms and Hot cocoa. This silly little phrase fits our baby perfectly, "When she is sweet she is very very sweet, and when she is naughty she is very very naughty." :) Today at church, a very sweet girl gave me some words of wisdom that I think I will print and put on my fridge. She said, "You will NEVER win a fight with a two year old."
Molly, is our new addition. She is an 11 week old Schnocker. Half Schnauzer and half Cocker Spaniel. She is very sweet and beautiful and also just like a toddler. Ryleigh and Molly fight constantly. :)
All in all we are extremely blessed. The meshing of our families is going wonderfully and I couldn't image my life without all three of my beautiful children and their amazing father. I heard a quote once by one of our prophets that said, "The greatest thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother" I am lucky that my husband has taken that to heart. His girls know that their father loves me. I know its a very long post, but its important for me to count my blessings. I never knew I could love someone so deeply and I'm grateful to my Heavenly Father for allowing me to have the greatest blessing I could have asked for.
