She likes Bananas!

Emma loves gymnastics! She is at a level 2 and progressing quite well. It has been a great confidence builder for her. We taped a bit of her last session and this is her climbing the rope to the top! She's our little monkey!

Todd turns THREE!!!

Todd Fielding Jan. 25th 2007

I can't believe how fast time goes by. My youngest just turned three. Seems like just a few days ago I was on bedrest at Grandpa Wanberg's home in Salt Lake. Seems like yesterday, Todd was born unexpectedly by c-section. His entrance into this life quite complicated, but he pulled through and I now find myself forgetting just how much this little guy has been through. Looking at him now, no one would ever know. I'm grateful to have Todd in my life. He brings so many smiles into our home. He has grown well, and his little brain works like a typical three year old. Two weeks before his birthday, he was potty trained! Good BYE diapers! He looks forward to going to preschool and can't wait to ride on a bus like his big brother and sister. We love you Todd and look forward to spending many more birthdays with you!

He asked for a "Race Car" cake.

Enjoying the pizza at Leo's Place.

Opening the gifts! He LOVES Transformers!

The ball was just in here a minute ago!

He had a wonderful day!

A LOT to cover in one post!

It's has been quite some time since our last post! My reasons range from no internet to lots and lots of family visiting! It's been a wonderful couple of months! To start where my last post left off...that would make it November 2009. Grandma Debi came out on November 14th to be here for when Jonathan and Melissa had their little girl. Mom made great timing since they had their baby girl, Lilly Sophia, on the 15th!! She weighed 5lbs 3oz. Even though Lilly came a little early, she is beautiful, healthy and strong! I was grateful to be able to be able to be there with mom at the hospital waiting for Lilly's arrival. It was a wonderful experience! I was just informed today by Jonathan, that Lilly is starting to get chunky baby rolls! That's my girl!

Thanksgiving came shortly after. Grandma Debi and Uncle Jesse came to help eat all the turkey! We had a nice quite Thanksgiving and lots of pie!

For Christmas, Tim and Jason flew out from Michigan to spend it with us! It was so wonderful to have everyone(including Jonathan and Melissa) here for Christmas morning! The kids loved the sleds that Santa brought and the boys(Jonathan and Trev) loved their guns(Bushmaster 450) they got from mom and Tim. I was surprised and excited when Mom and Tim got me an electric piano!! I have been playing it every day since! Chandler is now wanting to take piano lessons. We felt so blessed to be with so many of the one we love!

To bring in the new year, we had Michael and Tara(and fam) come and stay a couple of days with us! It was a very nice welcome to our full house! We had a little party and countdown, but had a hard time knowing when to actually start the countdown since we don't have television. We played games and ate lots and LOTS of food! The kids loved spending time with their cousins. Being with everyone just made us wish we could live closer to them. Grandma Debi stayed here for a couple of months and we wish she could have stayed longer. We were sad when everyone had to leave, and look forward to another visit hopefully very very very soon! :D

Oh What A Beautiful Morning!

Often mornings in our house are filled with lots of "It's mine..Don't touch me...I had that first!" So you can imagine my surprise when I wake up to hear quiet voices in the home this morning. I had to see what they were up to! Usually when its so quiet, they are up to no good! I was in shock when I found big brother with a book, and little brother snuggled up with him listening! These are the times when a mother really just sits back and smiles knowing it is all worth it! Oh what a beautiful morning!!!!

Just getting to the interesting part of the story!

Our newest member to our family!

Living out here in the country made us realize we need a great mouser! So here is our latest addition to our family. She is half leopard, half panther. Emma named her Ashley. She is still a kitten and very full of energy! Now we are ready to battle those mice!!
