Our West Jordan HOME...

We have lived in this home for almost 7 years! We have brought home 4 out of our 5 babies to this home and it has been such a nice place to live! We have created great memories here and I want to remember this house.
Kevin took a job in Tooele. It's only been four months but he loves it at his new job and we have decided to move closer to his work. We love being all together for dinner and haven't had that luxury since this new job. Kevin will leave pretty early for work and not get home till after the dinner time hour and it has been hard on our little family!

It was a hard decision for us and yet we feel it is the right one for our family. It will be so hard to not be so close to our families!
I love that my family will just drop in and visit and since we all live close we always are running to each other's family events. I know that can still happen but it will be different when we move away.

We met with a realitor who is selling the house we want to buy and he came and we talked with him on saturday the 28th of March. He put a for sale sign up in our yard and than The following Monday around 3pm our house was on the MLS Sites.
Right after Listing it we got a call that two people wanted to see it that night and so we cleaned and headed out of the house so they could show it!
The next day we had another showing and than Thursday we had four showings and the one was a repeat showing and by Friday we had an offer! It has gone pretty fast and now we are under contract for our house and the one we are wanting to buy!

We are hoping it all goes smoothly and are nervous and excited for this new adventure!!

Whitley Faye is Four Months Old...

This little baby girl is Four Months Old! Man where did the time go. I absolutely adore this girl! She is so smiley and is doing the cutest little baby talk noises and she is as wiggly and smiley as they come!
I took her to her 4 Month visit and she weighs 14 lbs and she is in the 90th percentile for height and 80th for weight!
We get to start rice cereal with her and I'm excited to see how she does with that!
All of the kids adore her and are so helpful with her!
So glad she is apart of our family!

One Month...

This sweet baby is a month old! Wow. Does it ever go by fast! She is the sweetest little baby and we are so happy to have her in our family. She has the whole family wrapped around her fingers. When she cries she has four little friends all around helping get her binki, patting her tummy, and singing songs to her! Coleman is doing so good at holding her and helps out so much! The girls well they love it when I ask them to babysit her. They feel so grown up. Even if it's just when I leave the room for a second. Than there is Tayson. He has definitely had his world rocked. But he has LOVED her from day one! He is probably the most protective of his baby sister any one looks at her and he turns and shouts at them! He is the first to bless her when she sneezes and he runs in and says Hi Witty when he wakes up in the morning! He has never once tried to hurt her wish I could say the same for him interacting with the other children. He pinches, bites, and hits them. I am sure it's just a stage and he will stop all the shouting he does to innocent passerby's because really he has his moments of sweetness too! But anyhow we love him and this little bundle too!

Christmas Party with Dearden's, Ward and Bush Family...

We went to our ward Christmas party right when we walked in the primary president asked if our kids could be Mary, Joseph  and baby Jesus.
I was a little hesitant since I didn't want Whtiley up with all the kids. But they kept her in her car seat and it all worked out nice.

Later that afternoon we went to a Christmas party with the Dearden family at Susan and Andrew's house. It was so fun! We played tenzie's and they had fun prizes! Our kids scored big with a waffle maker and rudolf nose!
We than sang songs! It was a great party! Thanks Austin's!

 The next day we went to the Bush family party at the Boyer home and had a little visit with Santa!
The kids loved telling santa what they wanted all except for Tayson who wouldn't get near him!

Kevin and job changes...

I haven't written much about Kevin and his job changes that have taken place in the last year and a half or so. But I will be brief he has gone from being with Leverich Group to Bush Carpet Cleaning to running his own Accounting firm. It has been a wild and crazy and hard year with these changes and than he changed again!

Well he took a job as the Controller for a construction company called Christiansen and Griffith the week of Thanksgiving! Just a week or so before our baby was born. It has been crazy. But we are excited for this change and he seems to really like it there. We went to the Christmas party lunch out in Tooele and the people are so nice! The kids loved running around the shop and looking at the pig they roasted!

Coleman's Baptism Day...

We are so proud of Cole's decision to be baptized. He is such a great kid and we love him so much! He has been looking forward to this day for a long time. He has such a sweet testimony in fact the first sunday in November he asked us if he could fast for his first time and than he told us he wanted to bear his testimony. He did and it was so sweet! It was hard for him to fast but he did it! The Sunday after his baptism he also got up and bore his testimony about his baptism and said he knew it was the right decision and he felt so happy!


Tayson was really hard the morning of the baptism so Kevin held him while they were up on the front row.
Cole asked Grandma Dearden to give the talk on the Holy Ghost and he had both Grandpas as witnesses and Grandma Bush gave the closing prayer.
We had so many family and friends come and support him! He even had his little buddies MacRae and Braden come to see him!
It was such a nice day!
