Random pics

Here are a couple cute, random pictures of the kids. 

Wyn holding a "decoration" flower, as she calls them. :)

Myles helping with the demolition of the kitchen. 

This boy has found his calling. :)

He's quite good at destroying walls. 

The House

Here's our new house. 

It was built in the 90's so there are few things to fix up and remodel, but we love it!

We are so blessed to have it!

We bought a house!

In January we bought a house! Our first house ever! 9 years in the making. :) We've been very blessed with this house.
We started to remodel the kitchen right off the bat.  That has been exciting and stressful. It has been good for me to learn to live in a mess. I do prefer things to be in their place though. Soon it will be done. Kenny has done an amazing job with it.
Hooray for our own house! :) I'll post pictures soon.

Happy 1st Birthday to Pierce!!

On the 15th we celebrated Pierce's 1st birthday. So crazy! I can't believe he's 1. It always makes me sad how fast their first birthday comes. 

Pierce has been our easiest baby for sure.  He's pretty calm and happy all the time.  The only thing that is a little hard is that he is LOUD! Especially during dinner he just lets out all his loud thoughts.

He started sleeping through the night a couple months ago and we are all feeling great about that. :) He started taking a step a day on the 9th. So far his record is 12 steps in a row.  He still mostly crawls, but is definitely our earliest walker. He loves baths and watching Myles and Wyn. He always tries to join in their fun. He also has a special relationship with his Daddy. He really likes being with Kenny, even during church! Usually I always take the babies at church, but Pierce always reaches for Kenny. It's really sweet. :)

We love our little P Diddy. 

Birthday decorations!

Birthday morning. He looks like a little football player! :)

Our smiley guy. 

Playing with new toys.

He got a few Nemo toys and ice cream punches.

Pierce has been such a blessing our family. 

New Years Goals

Happy New Year!!!

For New Years Eve we never get too crazy.  This year we watched 'Planes' with the kids and went to bed before midnight. :) 

Here are my goals for 2014:

*Play the piano every night for at least 10 minutes. 

*Eat more vegetables! :)

*Practice my Spanish.

*Speak kinder to my kids especially when they're really bugging me. :)

*LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN!!
*Smile more.

*Thrive in my hard moments. Don't just survive, but thrive. 

Love you all! I hope you have a great year!

Merry Christmas 2013!!

We decided to save money this year by not sending out Christmas cards. So this is our holiday greeting instead. :)

I took pictures of the kids last night in front of the tree.

Wyn was NOT happy about getting in her Christmas jammies and posing for a picture. Not even a bribe would work, but oh well.  A memory, right? :)

Myles and his new planes from Grandma and Grandpa Ludwig.

We really need some new family pictures done. This is our most recent one. :)

This year has been quite a wild ride for us.  We have been very blessed. Some of our blessings were easy to spot, but many have been blessings in disguise. We are so grateful for good family and friends who loved us, prayed for us, and encouraged us throughout this year. Most of all, we are grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ who died for us and is always there. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Santa came. :)

9 years!! And SNOW!!

A week ago Kenny and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary. Time is so weird. It feels like it's been longer and shorter all at the same time. I'm so lucky to have him for my best friend and husband. Love him to pieces!

We were very lame though and didn't take a picture. :( 

He did surprise me by leaving me a present on the piano; two cool glass rings! He's the best!

A couple days after our anniversary we woke up to a beautiful, snowy day. 

My solar lights covered in snow. 

Myles catching snowflakes on his tongue. :)

Wyn is chugging like a train in the snow. :)

We love snow!! Well, for a little while. :)
