The girls have started school already. Allie in green is in the 1st grade and she loves it. She's already made great progress in the 3 weeks of school so far. She is reading alot better and is making alot of friends! Rylee in the pink is in the 2nd grade and she too is loving her school and the ability to have friends to play with! It's a different pace then it was last year when we lived in the middle of nowhere and their closest friends were woodland creatures. She is doing very well at her math and reading and told me on day two of school that, "being a second grader is hard mom."
This is Bella...aka Bells...aka smells...aka hells bells when she gets into stuff. She is the newest addition to our family. We got her last year in December, and she is totally a kids dog. The kids lay on her and wrestle with her. She follows the kids everywhere and where we lived in the woods she was also my little guard for the kids while they were tromping around.
So like I've said before, I'm a little behind on my blogging. Also, I'm not familiar with how this posting system works, so the pictures are a little out of order. This is Allie's 6th birthday party at Grandma's house. She made out like a bandet. She is into those Lalaloopsy dolls, so she was pretty excited to get some.
The cake. Barbie fairy theme
The birthday girl.
This was Xander's 4th birthday party ALSO at Grandma's house. He had an all over the place themed birthday party. Thomas the train cake, Toystory decor and Cars toys.
Here is our new humble abode. We have only been here a month, but it feels like home! It's cheap especially on a college budget and it's close to Isaac's school and the kids' school. It's a nice little neighborhood after you drive past the scary ghetto part of this area. There is a dog park just on the other side of the road, so Bells can run and play. 
Isaac and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary this year. We went to Wolf Lodge then to Transformers 3D. It wasn't much, but it was very fun and we had a great time being goofy together! I am ready for eternity with him. The years just keep getting better as we go, mostly because we can make it through the rough times eaiser together. We know how to make eachother laugh and we still can't keep our hands off eachother. Being in love with your best friend is the best thing in life!!!!
This was Xander outside of the girls' classrooms on the first day of school. He didn't want his picture taken, so that's why he's pouting.
So, as some people know my husband Isaac has now gone back to school after 15 years of working in construction. He is only in his first month of his first semester of his first year, so we have a while to go. He is going for his civil engineering degree followed by a degree in structual engineering. I am so proud of him and the changes that he's made over the last 2 years. We have had major ups and downs, but somehow we've made it out together and more as a team and in love than ever. We cannot thank our Heavenly Father enough for the blessings and guidence He's given our family. We wouldn't be here without him!
This is all the things I have to share so far. I'll soon start up with my craft projects as soon as I get settled in to a good routine with my family!!
