What a month! Mom changed jobs, Dad had a birthday, Grandma and Grandpa came home, and we played hard all month long!

Maddy left her job at WGU after nearly 8 years. It was an extremely hard decision. Lots of tears were shed, lots of back and forth, but I’m excited to be starting at PACS! I’ll be able to have a closer commute and be at home with the boys more, which is what is most important to me. I’ll forever love WGU and am so grateful for the people there who changed my life. Here’s to an exciting new chapter! I had some special experiences asking Heavenly Father to not give me a job offer unless it was one I should take, and this was the only offer I got officially. It helped me feel really good about moving forward.

Dad turned 31 and we celebrated in him style! A shopping date with Hibachi, days full of his favorite foods and activities, games with friends, a cookies!

The boys loved going to their first hockey game and landing on the Jumbotron!

Mom and Graham had a fun glow party mother/son dance and it was a blast. Mom also went to the aquarium on a field trip and they had such a fun time together. They even played hookey for the rest of the day and had cookies and hung out. Mom also helped at the Valentine’s party which was SO fun!

Wells is KILLING IT in preschool, can read, and is such a great kid. He is so curious, independent, but loves a cuddle with mom and dad any time. He is adventurous and the perfect sidekick for mom. He is so smart and we are in awe of him every day.

Our curly haired boy is 10 months old

People always remark to us how smiley and happy Clarkson is, and that is just true about him. He is so quick to give an ear to ear grin, showing all four of his little teeth. He loves absolutely everyone!

Clarkson is FAST and crawls at lightning speed. He crawls up the stairs, stands up at every opportunity, and walks pushing his little walking toys.

Clarke claps, says mama and dada and hi, lives for baths and is such a water baby. He loves eating every food we put in front of him still, smiles back at us as we tell him not to get into mischief, and is the funniest baby brother.

We are so obsessed with our sunshine boy – he is really the sun and we all revolve around him!

Graham had his Federation Piano competition and did excellent. He got 5 points, all superior ratings, and two judges even recommended him for a special award. We are SO proud and happy that Graham loves piano.

Grandma and grandpa are home!!! It was such a lovely family get together to see them and welcome them home from Japan. We have missed them SO much and it’s been awesome to be all together again! It was so fun for them to finally meet Clarkson!
