Catching up

This is Olivia (6 soon to be 7)

Then Ryland (Soon to be ONE!)

Next is Claira (5 in just two months)

Almost our entire family (21 out of 23)

Then My Mom and Dad who just celebrated 40 years together!

Well I haven't posted in a couple of weeks so i will give an overview.

In the month of March, Nathan and Jillece welcomed baby Shirly Ann into the family. She was born March 12th via c-section and weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and was 20 and 1/2 inches! She is a doll!! I can't wait to meet her.

Jeremy's Uncle Cleston passed away due to cancer. We were able to attend the funeral and that was really nice. It was nice to get to see Grandma Messick and catch up with some of Jeremy's cousins. Then the next weekend Jeremys Grandma Messick passed away. She was such a great lady! She always gave us a hard time about making sure we finished school and had insurance to take care of our family. She lived such an amazing life! We will miss her.

On March 25th my parents celebrated their 40 year anniversary!! 40 YEARS!! My sisters and I planned a huge suprise party at the Land of Magic (a super great steak house in Butte Mt). WE were all in attendance except Jeremy and Caleb (lisa's husband). My parents (MOM mostly) have never been suprised about much of anything. My mom always catches the scent and runs with! Not this time though! It was so much fun!

Ryland has started walking/running! He is such a crazy little guy! He says mama (only on a rare occasion though!) Dada is his favorite word. The other day he kept pointing to the chair saying that? and after about 5 times I caught on that he was trying to ask me what it was. He also says Got it. It is so cute!!! I love it!

Olivia and Claira are doing so well in school! Olivia's class has been preparing for a big performance and a music production on thursday this week. She has some lines in their class production. I am excited to see it. Claira has switched to three days a week of preschool and is preparing for Kindergarden. Both girls are in dance and getting ready for the big show on April 23rd! They look so cute in their outfits! I will be glad when dance is over though!

Jeremy is finishing up with this semester and we are extremely grateful for that. Neither of us can wait for it to be over! And I have lost 16lbs, and continue to plug away!

Other things going on RyRy is going to be one on the 12th. A great mile stone but time just doesn't slow down and that is rough. Our dryer is not working quite right, and the shower needs fixed in the girls bathroom, and we need a new shower in our bathroom.

Overall I rate our lives as great! We have so many things to be thankful for! We have been blessed with three beautiful children, a nice home, and a wonderful family! Really what more could anyone ask for (other than money :)
