Deployment

At the beginning of June Wayne's younger brother Byron left with the National Guard to go to Indiana and then on to Iraq. We were able to spend the weekend with family and see Byron off. Everyone had a good time and it was fun to see family that we haven't seen for a while. We love Byron so much and are grateful for the work he will be doing for our country. We were able to get a family picture minus a few people..it's hard when the family is getting so big.

Update

I decided that I should update the blog before I have the baby...since it might be a while before I do it again once she arrives. We are doing good here in St George. Ella and I went to Oregon for a couple of weeks in May to visit family which was a lot of fun. We were able to stop in Boise and see my sister's family and Ella loved to play with her cousins. In April Ella turned three and she is growing up way too fast. I can't believe that my baby is 3!! Her favorite thing to do is play dress up and help her dad in the garage. She will probably know more about cars than most boys her age and be able to change a tire or the oil faster too. I am 38 weeks and ready to be done being pregnant. It is not fun living in 100+ weather in this condition. I hope she decides to come early...Ella talks to her everyday and asks if she wants to come out and play and she informs me that Avery says yes. Ella is going to have a rude awakening when she realizes that she won't have an instant playmate. Enjoy the pictures.
