I love these cute little faces!

Alea's first day of Pre-school!


Morgan's first day of 1st grade!


A big day for Morgan and Alea!

We started a tradition with the girls last year, the 1st day of school they share a dance with daddy! Morgan song is "My little girl" by Tim Mcgraw, and Alea's is "I loved her first" by Heartland. I have a hard time trying to see through my tears to get a good picture. So sweet!

Nana's finally home from her mission in Philadelphia! We missed you!!

It doesn't matter how dirty papa is from farming, Ellie loves him!

Temple day for Dallon!

Our oldest nephew Dallon is headed on his mission to Ohio! We are way proud of him and his great example. Yes, he is taller than both of his uncles!

Aunt Christi gave Morgan her 1st hair cut! It was a sad day for mom!


Yes, I am a slacker!

Well I'm not sure where things left off, but we ended the summer with lots of great adventures! We had more family reunions, camping trips, a trip to lagoon and best of all lots of great family time! We are all doing well Morgan started 1st grade and she loves it! I was worried that going to school all day would be tough for her but she is doing well and staying busy. Alea is in pre-school and she enjoys it a ton especially when her cute little boyfriend Tate sits by her. Then we have little Ellie and she is such a joy! I can't believe how fast she is growing every time I blink she has discovered something new. Doug and I are healthy and happy as well, we finished are softball season and then Doug was the assistant football coach for the 5th and 6th grade boys(he loved it!)It's good for him to get a little boy time cause he sure doesn't have that at home.

Morgan's most favorite day of the summer!

The Hocking reunion!




We had a great time at the reunion this year!

Great Summer!

We have all had a great summer! Between swimming, camping, t-ball and riding horses we haven't had much time to veg! Life is great and we are all doing well, little Ellie is cutting her first two bottom teeth, so things have been a little rough in her department, but overall she is the sweetest little thing! Doug and I also are playing coed softball and that has been a blast. We are so very thanful for our happy, and healthy little family!

Bearlake Fun!

Trip to Yellowstone over Memorial weekend!

The Girls

It is amazing that 3 girls from the same parents can be so different. Morgan is a little more on the shy side, but she loves to dance, swim, play T-ball, soccer, hunt,fish and most of all horses. She is the best big sister and is always willing to help anyway she can. Little Alea is the same size as Morgan (Height and Weight). Everyone thinks they are twins and sometimes Doug and I get them confused. Alea has got a very outgoing personality she tells it the way it is! We love her spunk and if anyone is causing trouble or into something they shouldn't be, we know Alea is close by. (She gets that from her dad!) Alea loves to be the star of the show, she loves to perform, dance, sing, swim, and play T-ball. However, she wants nothing to do with the hunting thing, and fishing is definately not at the top of her list. Then we have our cinder - Ellie, for only 6 months old she has such a cute little personality, she loves her older sisters and she grins from ear to ear when they walk in the room. She loves to swim as well, Gaga(my mom) has already had her under the water.(She loves it!) She is a great baby and we are so grateful to have her in our family! Doug and I love our girls so much and yes there are some major dramatic times, but we wouldn't trade them for anything!
