A fun weekend

This weekend my family all got together for Devans missionary farewell. It's been awhile since we have all been together. The kids had a blast being together and kept each other entertained. Currently their are 7 grandkids and 3 more on the way.

Mark had to work and Melanie wasnt feeling well so the two of them plus baby Austin were not able to be in the pictures.

I think it has been 7 years since we have taken family pictures. The family has doubled since.

With my brother who reports in a couple weeks. Kaelyn is so excited that she will know a missionary personally. Im sure she will be sending him a ton of letters of pictures she will be drawing!!

a little update

Sorry no pictures to post but I thought I would post a little what has been going on.
Mark started the Madera office on July 1st and is loving it. We feel so blessed that everything has worked out. He is currently working the day shift which is 10-10:30. It has acutally really been a good schedule to work which I never thought I would say. He comes home for lunch and dinner which is really nice to be able to see him.
It feels different now that he is working where we are from. I dont know. We both liked living in Southern Cali, but now that we are settled we feel like we are home. Its a good thing we love California and Madera so much because we will probably be here a while!!!!!

Kaelyn has been getting ready for school. We started buying her school stuff and Im starting to freak out...can I really have a child in Kindergartin??? Oh my... She has been growing up to fast. She has started to do more things around the house like doing the dishes, cleaning up after meals, and my favorite helping her brother get dressed etc. She is such a good sister. Today they spotlighted her in Primary and I just sat there thinking how blessed I am to have her.

Enzo has been the typical 2 year old lately. Testing my patience and then being the sweetest little guy. He has been learning his alphabet and knows almost every letter when we point them out to him. I need to get it on video and post it.

As for me I havent been up to much. Getting bigger everyday it seems. Sorry I wont post pictures of me... I have never been one for pictures while prego... I didnt do it with the others either. We have been thinking about baby names and here a few I like:
Valentino
Lucas -is starting to be my favorite!!!
Anthony or Antonio
Knowing how we are we probably wont have a clue till we are in the hospital and the baby is born.
