I thought that I would start a blog today since some of our family members and friends are now doing it and I thought it would be a good way for those who do not live close to us to be able to see pictures of the kids and see how they are growing and how they are doing. Things are going wonderful for us. We just had a baby girl Raylie Lyn on August 6th. She is beautiful. I really didn't think it would be that much different to have a little girl, but it is. Of course I get to dress her in fun girl y clothes, but I also feel like I just want to be more gentle and soft with her. She is my Angel and is Sam's little Princess!! This first picture of her was taken in the hospital on the 7th, only a day old. 
The second picture is a current picture of her. She is now 5 weeks old and is growing like a weed, even though I think that she is still really little.
Jaxon is now two years old and is a monster!!! He is into everything of course, he loves to play with is bike and be outside with Daddy!! Every day when Sam comes home from work he helps him take his work boots off and then wants to go outside with him. I am now staying at home with the k
ids and I think that he loves it. He just recently started watching movies and loves, Finding Nemo, The Bee Movie, and 101 Dalmatians (Puppies!!). He is talking so much and spits out new words every day.He is like I said such a monster, but is also my big helper. He loves to hold Raylie and he is always very helpful when I am changing her by bringing me the wipes or a diaper.
Colby is fourteen now and is in ninth grade. He is growing taller every day and has now passed me up, yes I know that is not hard to do, but it is still hard for me to think of him like a teenager instead of my little boy. He loves to go hunting with Sam and ride his bike and skate board. He also has recently been getting involved with school act
ivities like football games, etc. Last week Sam and him went Dove hunting and didn't do to bad. I'm sure it is the first of many more hunting trips for the year!! The most recent news with Colby is that Sam is legally adopting him as his son. Of course there is a lot of legally paperwork and forms that need to be taken care of, and we are in the process of completing them. We are hoping to have this completed by the end of this month. 
It is VERY exciting news. Colby is thrilled to have Sam as his dad and words can not explain how I feel about it. Sam is a wonderful dad and I and the kids can not ask for more. Well here is the latest update on our little family!!
