A Year in Review

Well maybe not a year in review but I would like to just write a little update on each of the kids. I am going to have this blog made into a book of memories each year and need a good post to end with. So let me start by saying how blessed we have been this year. Our family has grown by one and we got the news that we will be having another! The kids are all growing and making each day exciting.

Luke is growing up too fast. He has been enjoying kindergarten and learning the limits. He still loves to draw and we are so impressed by what he comes up with. He always makes us laugh with the remarks that come out of his mouth. We had another school incident where he pulled his pants down after the 6th grade play. When I asked him why he did this he said "I thought it would be funny but it was not!" You think Luke?? He is always wanting to make people laugh and is learning that sometimes those antics have consequences. He is already developing such a knowledge of the gospel and strong testimony. When he gives our prayers it is amazing the things that he says. He is so wise beyond his years. He is such a fun brother and plays really well with Harlee. He is a great help with Nash and can make Nash crack up at any given moment. We are truly grateful to have Luke in our family.

Harlee has changed so much over this last year. She has grown into a little lady. She is quite the daddy's girl and loves to make him laugh by tooting or burping. She loves to be a big sister to Nash and refers to him as her "baby". It is really funny lately because they are about the same size. She loves to do anything that Luke does and even orders the boy toy at McDonald's. So much for my girly girl! She has been doing this funny thing lately where she smacks at the end of her sentences which there seems to be a lot of. She is quite the talker! She loves to play in her room with her dolls and kitchen. She also loves to play in the soap and water which is where we often find her in a quiet moment. Harlee is loving her dance class and asks every day if she has her dance class. She feels so grown up to have something of her own. Harlee is truly a blessing in our family.

Nash has definitely changed the most over this last year. He is such a little man now. He is very busy and into everything. He is not walking yet but crawls everywhere and pulls himself up on everything. He still loves the Wiggles and if I need a moment I can just put him in his high chair with snacks and the Wiggles! He will sit still for up to an hour! Nash has such a sweet spirit about him and is always happy. He also has the greatest laugh and there is nothing better than hearing him crack up. He is also a big fan of Dora and Diego. When the music starts he does his special dancing bounce- too cute. Nash is the best eater and although he will not eat baby food, he will eat anything that we do and love it! He is only going to be 18 months when the next one arrives but knowing how easy going Nash is, I am not worried. He is just a dream child and we feel so lucky to be his parents.

As I think back on this last year I realize once again the love that Heavenly Father has for us. We have so many blessings that we enjoy and have the greatest family to share them with. We are truly blessed!
