Year in videos from 2014 (VIDEOS)

Finally got these to upload!!!! Love seeing what our phones compile from our pic galleries.

"SUPER" dress up

I was folding laundry the other day and putting away towels, sheets, etc. in the laundry room and kitchen.  When I came back into the living room to finish, Sarajane had unfolded her Daddy's superman shirt and was wearing it.  She did not take it off until lunch; so about 2 hours.  This girl loves her Daddy and now his clothes:)  HEHE

Being Polite (VIDEO)

Sarajane is just a VERY talkative girl.  She loves using polite words:)  We are so proud of our polite sweetheart.

Sweet Hunter

Can't seem to get enough of my new nephew Hunter.  Such a sweetheart:)

Lovin the grass in NC

Second Soccer Practice for the Jaxers

Second day of practice went really well.  He is starting to dribble the ball and getting use to the rules.  He did such a great job!

Evening snuggles

It is so great when a parent captures those precious moments when ALL her kids are getting along and snuggling with each other:)  Wouldn't trade it for anything in this world!

First Sunday without Jason

It has been a VERY long time since we have gone to church without Jason.  This little girl sure missed her Daddy.  She really struggled in nursery.... hence her lovely pictures in the hallway.

Fishing at Sunset

Here are some pics Susan (Mom) took on her camera from them helping us move from CA to NC.  We took the family out fishing one evening and the views were amazing!  She has quite the eye for taking good pictures!

Precious babies!

There sure is baby fever in the air.  First My cousin Aundria gave birth to her sweet lil girl in March, then Cyndi had her little man in April, and again this month a dear friend of mine (I consider her to be a sister) had her first baby.  Next up.... bring on the sweet baby boy Court!

Born at 3:27 PM on April 18, 2015. 6 pounds 8 ounces. 18.5 inches. Welcome Miss Ruby Rae Stringam!!!  Congrats Rach and Brennan and all your family:)  She is beyond precious!

Song and Moves (VIDEOS)

He was the production Josh and Jax put on for us in the van yesterday:)

Sorry the videos downloaded funny:(

Rockies Soccer (VIDEO)

Wednesday evening was Jax first coach based soccer practice.  He is still getting the hang of things but is doing it all with a smile on his face.  He said that he had lots of fun and is looking forward to going next week.

He put his shin guards on; hence why they aren't on right:)

Pics from our Visit with Grandma and Grandpa Dennis

As I said in the previous post, Jason's folks were able to spend three weeks with us as we moved cross country.    We tried to pull pics off of her phone but were unsuccessful, until now.  Here are the pics from playing fun:)  She got some real cool and hilarious shots of the kids playing on the trampoline. Enjoy!

In gratitude and love.....

The quote above truly says it all.  Words can never truly do justice in how we feel toward Mom and Dad (Susan and Stephen).  This is the second time (well actually third for Stephen) that they have helped drive us across the country to our next home.  It takes such loving and special people to sacrifice their time and drive thousands of miles.  We are forever grateful to them for loving our family and taking care of us so well.  Not only for driving our other vehicle (which made it easier to travel with three kids under 5) but for helping watch the kids and helping us unpack and organize.  We love you very much and hope we say and show you everyday!  This post is in dedication of them, Grandma and Grandpa Dennis we love you!

The above pics were taken on the grounds of the Raleigh, NC temple.  On our way to drop Susan and Stephen off at the airport, we detoured to see this beautiful temple.  Well worth it!  It still amazes me how beautiful these temples are; however big or small.  Again making me so thankful for eternal families and the blessings of the gospel.

These trees reminded me of my Mommy and Court; they love the color purple and these trees were just radiating purple!

Family Pic attempts...

Teaching moments

Jax found a worm; so this is Jason teaching moment (educational)

And this would be mine... Jax was jumping on the benches and on the grass, so we went over again that temples are special places like church and we need to show reverence ad respect (yeah I got the discipline teaching moment)

Kids pics attempts

The moments that touch my heart.  Love seeing our children love and help each other.

Save the best for last:)
