Chris just returned from taking Trenton on his first overnight backpacking trip with Chris's Dad and brother. Chris was a little worried about taking Trenton because it was a steep trail about 2.5 miles to camp but Chris said Trenton did great and was able to do the whole thing by himself. Trenton had a lot of fun and Chris was able to teach Trenton some valuable skills like packing a bag, building a fire, and enjoying the opportunity to pee off of high places! gross.

Swing Set Box DONE! Next....

Ok, so don't look at the grass, we're hoping it will come in still. One project at a time and the first was the play area. Next, who knows, probably pulling the weeds that seem to multiply faster than we can keep up with.

Well I'll tell you we have been very busy here in our household! Since moving into our home in late November, we have had a lot of changes. Chris and I got callings right away in our new ward team teaching CTR4/5, AWESOME! Then only after 1 month the bishopric called us in. we were to speak that day so we thought nothing of the meeting. Well some big changes were to happen and we were very unaware. I was called to be the Primary President! The first thing out of my mouth was, "Your serious"!!!! I couldn't believe it. We had only been in the ward for 2 months. We still were trying to connect faces and names. How was I to even know who to even think about for counselors? The Lord was there though to help! A lot of praying and it just came. My testimony was strengthened. Well Chris stayed teaching for another month and now he is the 2ND counselor in the Young Men's. So in that way we have had a lot of new things to do. We are enjoying it though.
So we had 3 birthdays in March, Tatum, mom, and Tucker. Trenton started T-Ball, Chris is enjoying work, we are loving our house, Tatum is learning to ride her bike (with training wheels still, Chris says when she turned 3 she won't have them anymore) and school is almost over for the kindergarten kid!There is NO baby news for us though. Congrats to all those who are expecting! We are still very content with our 3!!!! Well that's about it I suppose. Until next time:)

Time to finally post!

Tatum turned 2 and Tucker turned 4!!!!

So it's been too long since I've had tome to post anything. Tonight I have a chance because i have only one little girl home with me. Daddy and Trenton are on a backpacking trip and Tucks is with a cousin spending the night. I'll catch you all up on us in just a couple of pictures:}

So here is Trenton with his backpack. The three of them in their Easter clothes for church. Notice the pink and yellow wall...wanes coating is coming soon. That;s why it;s not painted on the lower half of Tatum's room.

Tatum's new little looks

I curled Tatum's hair for the first time. She really liked it too.

Here is the back or side I guess. Usually it's much straighter.

The other night after dinner and jammie's...she insisted on putting on this. The hat from her great grandma Cox and a swimming suit. We thought it was pretty funny.

She got some dress-up clothes from her papa Burk. Every night we have been playing dress-up. She puts all her necklaces and bracelets on. She is so girl, loves to play with her babies and make-up, and her dresses, but still plays hard with the boys!

Christams

I figured that it is better late than never to finally document Christmas to you all. Our Christmas morning started off like this....... Big Paper!

Well here was the kids first look at Christmas morning. It's been the tradition to "barricade" the kids from the tree. Chris had this tradition growing up.

Tatum got a Pink Tonka Truck. She loved it too. Chris and I painting it from the yellow and black to the pink and black. Sounds easier than it really was!

Tucker was so excited to get his Optimus Prime! That is all he wanted and he was so surprised!

Trenton got a new BB Gun. Tucker also got one so there would not be any fighting!

Tatum was the first one to open this year. The boys helped and the fist thing she said was, "Pink"! Then she pushed it down the hallway and back. So cute.

Part of the CLUB!

Trenton is now in the club of the losing teeth! He lost his first about a month ago. Chris pulled it out with a paper towel, well after 4 attempts. Then he lost hi 2ND one last week. He let mom pull that one also with a paper towel. (better grip) Anyways he was so tough because what kid will let you try 4 to 6 time to pull on a tooth when it hurts? He is so big, my baby is so big!
