Paige's 2nd Birthday

Paige's 2nd Birthday was not a very good day. Maddie woke up that morning very sick with a very high fever and Colton came down with it later that day. She did open present and was really excited about what she got. She got some clothes and then later that day Daddy brought home a Bounce House, which she loves.

We didn't do much for her birthday, however, Grandma and Grandpa Willie came to Salt Lake the next day to see Paige for her birthday and to stay over night with us. The kids were so excited. They made signs for Grandma and Grandpa and made sure the house was clean for them. When Grandma and Grandpa got to our house, Paige opened up her present and loved it. She got a cute outfit and a Fur Real Hampster. She loves the Hampster. She thinks it really funny to watch it run around.

On Sunday we had dinner with the Barkers and Paige got some really fun presents. Grandma and Grandpa got her a Micky Mouse couch that turns into a bed. She loves it.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!! We love you and can not believe you are Two already.

Grandma Barker

Ben's Grandma Barker recently returned home to Heavenly Father and be with her Husband. She was a great lady and will be missed. We love you Grandma.

Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas. We stayed in Salt Lake for Christmas Eve and had dinner at Ben's Uncle Danny and Aunt Kaye's house. We got up on Christmas morning and let the kids open their presents from Santa and Mom and Dad. They had a great Christmas.

Later that morning we went up to Grandma and Grandpa Barker's house for brunch. The kids opened present from Grandma and Grandpa and got a little spoiled. Madisyn got a Fur Real Go-Go Puppy, Colton got Stinky Truck, and Paige got some blocks and a table she can build her blocks on. Colleen made all her daughter-in-laws a cute cute quilt. It is so soft and nice to snuggle up in. We love it. Thanks Colleen

That afternoon we left and went to Malad to have Christmas with the Willie Family. We had dinner there and then opened presents from Grandma and Grandpa. They all got Pillow Pets which was a big hit. We were also able to have Great-Grandma Parry come and spend Christmas with us which is always fun. Mom and Dad gave us Food Storage which was very much appreciated. Never to late to be prepared.

We had a wonderful Christmas.


Our New Christmas Tree

Madisyn's 7th Birthday

For Madisyn's Birthday we celebrated in Malad with all her cousins a week before her birthday. She loved it. She never gets to celebrate her birthday with her cousins on the Willie side so she was really excited when they all come to Grandma's house for her birthday.

On Saturday before her birthday we took her and her two cousins Isabelle and Brianna and her friends Jaden and Connor to Incredible Pizza. They had so much fun. They loved it.

On Sunday (her actual birthday) all the Barker's came out for dinner and to Celebrate her birthday with her. She got a lot of fun presents and got to celebrate her birthday for a full week.

Madisyn's Christmas Dance Recital

Madisyn had her Christmas Dance recital the same day of the Parry Christmas Party. We went to Malad for the Party and then left early so that we could make it back to Salt Lake or her Dance recital. She was so excited because they had new cat outfits and she was so excited to wear it. She as usual did a great job. We are so proud of her and love to watch her dance.

Parry Christmas Party

It is always nice when its time for the Parry Christmas Party again. It fun to see all the cousins and just to get together as a family. Grandma always stresses out about it, but it always turns out so fun.

Maddie's First Clogging Dance Competition

Maddie did her first Clogging Competition by herself this year. There were five girls that did the same clogging routine, and they did it altogether, but were judged on who knew it best and how well they performed. Maddie got 1st Place. She was so excited and we were so proud of her.

Playing in the Snow!!

The kids were so excited when it snowed enough that they could go out and build a snowman. Maddie and Colton had a lot of fun. Paige on the other hand was not impressed with the snow. They had a good time, but were really for it to be warm again and not really been interested in building anymore snowman.

Fall Soccer

Maddie really enjoyed playing Soccer in the spring so we decided to let her play with some kids in our ward for the fall season. She loved it and was pretty good at it.

It's a ?????

So I knew this is really late and we have known for a long time but I figure since I kind of use the blog as a journal I better post it.
We are expecting Baby Number 4 on May 2. We found out in November that we are having a BOY!!!!

We are really excited!!! That makes 2 girl and 2 boys. We are so blessed to be able to have this baby. I hope I just make it through it all. I usually get put down on best rest between 24-28 weeks. We are currently 29 and I haven't had to go on bed rest yet, but I was told the other day that I have gestational diabetes. So if anyone has any ideas on what to eat let me know!!!
