MICHAEL MARK

Welcom baby Michael Mark...We love you already!!!
On Thursday we welcomed Michael to our home. He arrived at a whopping
9 lbs 13.5 ounces, 23 inches. He's already signed onto the JAZZ for year 2029. He is an angel.
Preston and Kailee can't get enough of him... so much that they decided to go to Grandma and Grandpa Walter's so they can "see how big he is when they get back". They actually are adorable with him. They are great big siblings.
It is wonderful to have such a precious baby in our home again. They bring a special joy to the family. We are grateful he is healthy and all is well.



No offense
to anyone else, but
we make pretty cute
babies.
And this is one
proud Mom.

















A family of 5... Is this for Real?



















Preston can't wait to play with his brother Michael. The first thing on
his list is to make him laugh.
He's going to be a great helper.


Here are some of Michaels First Visitors...
Very special ones at that!

Birthday Video

Birthday Girl... 3 years

~Kailee had one Royal Party! She invited 3 friends and let us know that Grandma's could come, but Grandpas could go to Preston's Birthday party. Mckenna, Jocelyn and Abbie were the guests of honor, with Prince Preston in attendance.~

Birthday Girl... For some reason Kailee chose to wear Purple for her party... Her "nother" favorite color.

Best friends eating our best thing... SUGAR!

Jocelyn, Makenna, Kailee, Abbie, Adam, and wait, who's kid is that?

My favorite memory of the day was Kailee waking up and running into my room saying, "I'm Free now". Meaning 3 of course.

Presents... Presents... Presents... and just one more Present!

May the purple goblin come and kiss you and make all your dreams come true. Thank you Everyone for the best birthday Ever. I love you all. And you're welcome at my palace any time.

How Sweet...

Preston thought of this himself in Primary. He has a great bond with Kailee, and we are grateful they get along so well.

Update...

Life has been great to us lately. We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas in California at Matt and Whitney's house. It was a great break from the Provo Cold and a blast to spend that time with the Vandermyde's. Adam had quite the time off from school so we stayed out of town for 2 weeks. We also visited Crystal and Mike in Cali, and the Walter's in St. George. We have been so blessed to have such good family and friends to support us and spend time with. Thanks to all of you for helping with the kids and giving them, and us, a wonderful Christmas. We love you!

Sunday Best

Thank you Grandma Walter for this fabulous dress. I'm ready for Hollywood!

Another day in the SNOW...

"I can do it by myself", says Kailee as usual. After spending a day sledding at a park, we came home and made a hill of our own.

1-2-3-Ahhh! We have really enjoyed watching our kids play together. They sure know how to have fun.

Princess Kailee

We don't think She could get any fancier. Kailee's favorite thing to do is to dress up and be a Princess or ballerina. If we could pick, we'd go with ballerina, but Kailee seems to rule in our home most often as Princess Kailee.

Preston's Soccer

Here is Preston at his first soccer game... EVER! He can't wait for each new game, and dreams about it while he sleeps with his soccer ball. He towers over the other players, and doesn't miss an opportunity to waive to us during the game. We love to watch him. Take a look at his ESPN style video...

SNOWY DAY

Did any of you get to play in the Snow? Preston and Kailee had a complete Blast building this amazing snowman and putting ice-sicles in the freezer.
