My tall skinny girl! Allyson's has become an even bigger Disney princess lover, her favorites change every day. She loves to be mommy's big helper and cannot wait until radley is big enough to carry around on her own. She is very OCD about many things....she freaks out if she sees seasoning on something she is eating. her nightly routine includes asking me if all the doors are locked, and sometimes even asks if I am really sure. her favorite foods are PB&J, yogurt, fishies, wheat thins, mac n cheese, and steak. she is the picky-est eater ever and lots of times she will sit at the table for over an hour trying to eat what mommy and daddy tell her she has to eat. her favorite restaurants are "the panacake place" (IHOP), texas roadhouse, and "red robins". she still wets the bed at night but is trying super hard to break that. her favorite animal is horses and she cant wait till she is old enough to own one. her daddy bought her a pet gecko for her bday and she absolutely loves it (mommy thinks its gross) she loves to visit her grandparents, cousins, and aunts and uncles. she takes dance and gymnastics lessons weekly and goes to preschool twice a week for about 3 hours at a time. she loves her preschool teacher mrs. harcey! she is so excited to start kindergarten and she is most excited about riding the school bus! her favorite colors are still pink and purple. she requested a disney Brave themed birthday parties with her friends this year. her favorite place to go is disneyland and she counts down the days to the next trip the moment we get back! she is still our smart cookie and is always quick to correct mommy and daddy is we slip up. she has lost her bottom two teeth and the permanent have already come in! every morning when she wakes up she comes into mommy's room to wake her up and let her know she is ready for cartoons and chocolate milk. she loves loves to drink liquids! we have to limit how much milk and juice she can have each day and then she switches to water. she plays really well with little sister kilee and has quite the imagination! the things they play together are so funny. she has learned to ride a bike finally (still with training wheels) I cant believe my baby is starting school this year! we love you to pieces miss allyson!

miss kilee is my feisty middle child! she loves disney princesses equally as much as her older sister and right now her favorite is Ariel. She goes to dance class once a week and loves it! But she is very shy and gets embarrassed very easily. She hates crowds and is a total homebody.

Her favorite drinks are rootbeer and apple juice and she loves hotdogs. she is fully potty trained (day and night) except we had a bit of backtracking when we brought baby brother home. She seems to be getting back on her schedule though now. she loves to copy everything allyson is doing. she loves to do her hair "like ava" (which is just a ponytail). she still sucks her thumb on a regular basis. and loves all of the Barbie movies and still loves Dora. she definitely has an ornery streak in her which gets her into lots of trouble! she loves to be mommys helper (helping bathe radley or throwing away his diapers) when she poses for pictures she has to most adorable poses and smile! she is very cuddly and loves loves loves her blanky. she is definitely a mommys girl and asks me to hold her quite often. love my kilee jo:)

a nice getaway to Rocky Point!

 My mother-in-law Capri planned a family trip to Rocky Point to celebrate everyone's birthdays this year! I was VERY weary about going there because Mexico just makes me nervous but we were totally fine and I never felt unsafe. It was seriously one of the most relaxing vacations! We rented a house right on the beach, so we had our own private beach which was AWESOME! And the food was yummy and cheap. And I loved that we went in November (we moved to Prescott the first weekend and went to Mexico the second weekend!) because it gave us a slice of summer in the winter:)

our view!

all the girls (except ki) got braids!
(and I will never get them again:)

Taking a leap of faith...

 On July 29th, Ben quit his job at GCU...a business opportunity was presented to us and we decided to take a leap of faith! We put our house on the market, with hopes that it would sell quickly but wouldn't ya know, we didn't up end selling it until November! And during that 3-4 month timeframe, Ben was up training with his business partner Monday thru Friday each week. Being a "single mom" was NOT fun! I am SO glad that we are finally a family again! We are now living in Prescott Valley, renting a house. We just opened escrow this week to purchase a nice two-acre piece of land in northern Prescott Valley and plan to build our dream home within the year...I am SO excited! We are starting our own Screenmobile business in the Prescott area (along with our taxidermy business). Ben is so glad to be back up here and I think I am really going to like it as well. It was harder than I thought to say goodbye to our beautiful Chandler home. It's funny how quickly you get attached to your home! But I know this change is good and that we will be happier here. I am not one to take risks, but I know that these businesses will pay off in the end. Pray for us!
