The catch up of all catch ups!!

Okay so I kind of got a little behind on my blog. Once Fall semester started everything fun took a back seat to school. :( Now that I am done with this last semester I can catch up!

We have been very busy over the last six months. Here is a quick update on everyone followed by random events of our life.

Travis- He has been busy with work. It seems that that is all that he ever does anymore. We won't argue though it pays the bills and he really enjoys his job. For those who don't know, Travis is an Executive for ASEA. He is their Director of supply chain. Travis was put into the Elders Quorum presidency a couple of months ago and he really enjoys the men that he works with.  

Kristina- I have been busy since August with school. I finally have my AS degree from Utah Valley University and I am transferring to Western Governors University next month. I have also kept myself busy with some holiday crafts and being a mother and wife, two of the best callings ever!!

Trevin- Trevin is 10 years old. He is in the fourth grade this year and he loves math and anything science. Trevin has grown up so much. He is a great helper and the best big brother to his brothers and sister. Trevin loves to read the "Diary of the Wimpy Kid" series and play games on my Facebook page.

Braden- He is 7 years old and in the second grade this year. Braden loves math also but hates reading. He loves to do whatever Trevin is doing. They have all the same friends and play together everyday. Braden likes to play the Wii and he is pretty good at it.

Ashton- He is 3 years old and gets to stay home with mom all day long. He is very good at playing the Wii. His favorite games are Donky Kong, Yoshi, and all the Lego Star Wars games. He loves to play with the Legos also, however he usually is the one breaking what his brothers are making. Ashton can't wait until he can go to school like the big boys.

Kaylee- She is such a cutie pie! She will be 8 months old on the second of January. Kaylee just got her first two bottom teeth in the past week and a half. She loves to play with her brothers and she has the cutest little smile. She is such a good baby and we love her so much! 

Now what we have been up to.......

At the end of July we finished our backyard. We had Travis' uncle Chris do it for us. It is so ice to have it done! Now Ashton can play outside during the summer and I don't have to worry about him getting out.

Here are some before pictures: 

Chris had to leave his tractors here while he finished the yard. Ashton loved having the tractors here. He is racing Travis in the picture below. It was really funny! (The tractors weren't moving at all, but Ashton really got into it).

And here we are half way done. The bottom of the picture is where are garden is going.

The bottom right part of this picture is the direction of the dog run. You can't see it in the picture though.

This is with the yard finished. The fence is being put in in this picture.

These pictures are of Travis flying with his boss in his private plane. Travis takes any chance that he can get to fly an airplane. I think that this is the second or third time that he has flown a plane all by himself. You wont catch me doing it though. I hate flying!

This past August Amber came into town to visit and we took all the grand kids to Thanksgiving points farm. It was a lot of fun.

Kate, Ashton, Avery, Braden and Trevin

This is the cutest picture of half of the cousins. They are on the hayride.  And then me and Kaylee. I think that she was about four months old in this picture.

Here is Grandma and Caleb and Sawyer. Cute little twins!!

Milking the cow!

Look at Kaylee's face! Funny!!

These next pictures are from Ashton's third birthday. We had a family party at our house with a dinosaur theme.

These pictures are from the first day of school. The boys were so excited! We love the new school that they go to. It is so much nicer than there old school.

These pictures are of Trevin's first Pinewood Derby. He was so excited! We missed it all of the other times because we had either moved or he wasn't old enough. 

Our annual fall drive up the Nebo Loop. We love that drive and we do it every year.

Carving pumpkins. I just noticed that Ashton has vampire teeth in his mouth. Funny boy.

Grandma and Grandpa Hirschi came over one night in October to see the kids in their costumes. Trevin is a Army guy, Ashton is a fire fighter, Braden is a Star wars guy and Kaylee is a ghost.

Do you like the foot in the face?

Trick-or-Treating!!!!

This year we wanted to stay home for all of the major holiday's because we wanted to spend them in our first home. So for Thanksgiving we had the Temlpin's over. It was a lot of fun!

Here is the table all ready to go. I was very pleased with how it looked.

In between the holidays Ashton got croup and bronchitis. Every winter we get to go through many breathing treatments and steroids with Ashton. Last year the doctor finally diagnosed him with  reactive airway disorder. He has been sick every winter sense he was born, and we finally have all the resources that we need to get through it.

And then finally Christmas!

This is Christmas morning. We had a great Christmas this year. We enjoyed spending time with family and friends.

I have been loving decorating my table for the holidays. I finally get to use all of my fun dishes!!

Well that is the past six or so months in a nut shell. Now that I am caught up I should be able to start the new year off great!!
