I am soo very grateful to our loving ever helpful Heavenly Father who has shown us miracle after miracle throughout our adventure here in Vegas, and it is a big comfort knowing that even though we will be thousands of miles away from family we will still have a ward family in Benton! To all our family and friends here in Vegas, We will miss you all a TON and again thank you for everything!!! It is time for me to close and finish preparing for the movers soo it is time to say GOODBYE for now, be safe and take care and love those little ones!!!

Does NOT even begin to describe the craziness right now... Moving out, packing for Mesa, taking care of the kiddos and keeping up on the house duties, packing up the old house, getting Addy ready to go down to Mesa with out her parents, yes we let Addy go down with her grandparents today, yes I know she is in great hands but this is the first time I have ever been gone from her for more than a day and it feels very weird and is a little too quiet, BUT... packing has been CRAZY and then of course there was the graduation of our newest Doctor, that is right focks let me introduce you to...........................................

Ahh how sweet! She is such a wonderful big sister!

Say cheese Rohnin!

Poor little guy...

Rohnin got circumsized today forgive the spelling apparently the computer doesn't know how to spell it either...ha ha...

Anyways, We had Arthur and Brett give him a blessing the night before, as well as myself, I was nervous for the little guy...I could only nurse him until 2am and then he could only have clear liquids until 6am but it was a rough night for me soo his last feeding was at 4am... he was really happy at the hospital though... little did he know what was coming... they took him back and an hour and twenty minutes later I was holding my sweet little guy..he did great and is sleeping it off, he has only been up maybe a total of an hour or so since the procedure, poor guy, when he is up he is pretty cranky, I don't blame him... I think I did pretty good all things considering it is pretty scary though your mind really wonders when you know they have to sedate your little ones...but I really tried to put this in the Lords hands and so far so good...he had an extra layer of skin that had to be removed sooo they couldn't do it sooner...dang it...sleep away little man it will get better...

A blessing, family time, and....more to come..be patient!

Well I can't say we haven't been a little busy lately...We blessed Rohnin on Sunday the 11th of April and so we had both sets of parents + my brother and his family and Arts grandparents come up for the joyous occasion! It was a full house after wards with a couple of our close friends who joined in the prayer circle! BUT Art is working on the computer soooo I have to post the pictures on a later date...sorry... it was a wonderful weekend to say the least! My dad even got up and bore his testimony which was such a sweet moment for me...since we will be moving so far away from home it really was a beautiful testimony dad Thanks...Hope you shoulder is doin better! We sure miss everyone down in Arizona...

This is my adorable nephew Chaplen, who is always up for some good smiling! He is about 5 to 6months older than Rohnin so these two will be great cousins just like Addy and Lottie! They seem a lot a like in how they are such laid back and smiley little guys I just love it! Oh that and they both are full of chubby little rolls!

Take me to a ball game dad...
Yep I know I have the CUTEST CHILDREN... EVER...come on I mean look at these adorable faces, you know I am right...no no there is no need to argue, I know it is a fact...what can I say!
He is soo full of smiles these days I just LOVE IT...That and His cute little rolls and belly he is just so dang kissable...just look at those cheeks and tell me I am wrong...on second thought don't tell me I am wrong I might not like you anymore...J/K What can I say I just Love this little guy!

Funny...

So Addy has been getting in trouble for not listening...and Art and I were in the kitchen tonight and I asked Addy to come and pick up her belongings in the kitchen...
her response........."Yes, your highness"
Art and I are still laughing at that...I don't think she understood exactly why Art and I were laughing but well I have been meaning to write more on what comes out of her mouth these days and that one is definitely a keeper!~

On a sort of sad note Rohnin got his first serious of shots today and did pretty well until about 4pm when he woke up and cried for about an hour...poor little guy he practically scream cried any time his leg moved, or was bumped...all I've got to say is THANK YOU TYLENOL...

He weighed in at at whoping 15 pounds 11 oz. his weight was 99.5% he is 24 in. long and 90.76% and his head was 16.25 in. around and is 81.75% so our little guy is definitely not a little guy but a growing little chunk!
