A lot has happened at our house the last little bit, few months  FINE... the last year! hehehe. Its been crazy busy at our house. After having surgeries, working two jobs, going to school full time, church callings, and being mom and wife... well lets just say that we were all looking forward to Summer!

One of the major changes in our lives was the addition of a new family member. We were blessed and able to bring home Abby Jane back in April. She has been fun to have, although it took Mom the longest to get used to her.
 One day I heard the kids in the kitchen just giggling, so I went to see what they were up to. They were dancing with Abby at which time Donnovan tells me that "Abby likes it when we wear butterfly wings and dance with her. " Good to know huh!?




Soon after we got Abby Emalee was baptized by her Daddy on April 12th, 2014. It was a wonderful day! Grandma Mick and Lacy Ann came along with Aunt Debbie and Aumanae, Carla, Marc, Robby and Gwendalyn and Mert and Grandma and Grandpa Redmond!
It was a great turn out! She chose her baptism dress because it looked like Elsa's cape from Frozen. We did her birthday party in Frozen so it was all she could talk about.








After the baptism, we had the guys stick around and help us get the sprinkler system put in the back yard. After 10 years of being in the house I finally have a backyard! We had asked the family to help with the system and we would not ask them to help with the sod. We asked the missionaries to come over and help on Robert's Birthday and they said they would have about 16 missionaries there in the morning. The grass was delivered on Friday the 25th because the guy said it was going to rain on Saturday. That freaked me out so I hurried and got on Facebook and asked anyone and everyone to come and help lay sod that night. We had the Bishop and his family, Aubery Peatross and her kids and us-minus Ryan because he went to prom. It took us about 2 hours but it looks awesome!!


Ryan also got his driver license!! I officially have an Errand Runner!!! YAY!! He didn't pass it the first time because he was too slow and he didn't do spot checks. He did soo much better on the second try. Now we have to get the Honda running so he has something to drive. 
My kids are growing up so fast! I love them with all my heart!
