Happy Birthday Aubrey!!!

We had a great time in Pomerene this weekend. Aubrey got to celebrate her birthday with her cousins Andrew, Jacob, Matthew, Benjamin and Aaron. Her Aunt Kim and Uncle Kevin and Grandma and Grandpa Edington. She had a Piniata she was so excited about this until Andrew hit it and it broke she started to cry and said that he broke it. I guess she didn't get the concept of the whole thing. This is what she wanted though. We went to the zoo and had lots of fun with everybody.

We also got to see my grandma Barney, she looks so good and seems to be healing very well from brain surgery.

Halloween!!!

Halloween was lots of fun this year. Thursday before Halloween we went to a Elders Quorum party. we had a potluck and carved pumpkins. We won best of Show!!! It was a headless pumpkin. It was lots of fun.

The next night we carved our family pumpkins and had a blast together.



Halloween morning Aubrey woke up and came into my room and said ok lets get ready. She was very excited to be a princess.

She wanted to show off her hair in this one.Halloween went really well Aubrey loved being Cinderella and Emily was the cutest pumpkin ever. We went with Cindy to the schools carnival and then with Carol to the Pima stake trunk or treat.

what's up?

Sorry I am so bad at this blogging thing. Where do I start,
LUKE got a job at the Mines in Morenci. He is enjoying it very much and is so excited to be working again. He works from 6:00am-2:00pm Monday through Friday so even if he works overtime he isn't getting home to late. Which the pass two weeks he has done quite a bit of overtime. He basically cleans up the mines right now but you can move up really fast. He is passing all of the test they have given which makes you have a better chance of raises and being able to move up. He got called to be the 2nd counselor in the Elders Quorum presidency he gave a talk on Sunday along with the others in the presidency. They all did very well. He is enjoying this calling and is glad to be doing something other than primary, he liked the kids but is glad to be with adults for awhile.


AUBREY is growing up and wanting to do everything on her own. She is a handful and loves to hang out with her cousins. Her and Parker still get into trouble but starting to do a lot better. Now every time they are together they say don't get naked we want to be able to play still. She is so excited for her birthday and Halloween she is going to be Cinderella her grandma got her the costume a couple years ago and now it finally fits her so she has been talking about it ever since grandma gave it to her. She looks really cute. She is doing so good with her potty training, that is one thing I never thought she was going to learn but I think we have almost conquered that. YEAH!!!


EMILY is 7mths now and is rolling around every where and is starting to scoot to get her toys. She is the best baby, she is always so happy so when she does cry you know that there is something really wrong. She loves to eat and so far hasn't been to picking on what I feed her lets hope it stays that way. She does really good through the night and has been sleeping in her crib and sharing a room with Aubrey, which is working out great. I am excited to see her grow and see what kind of a personality she will have, hopefully a little more mellow than Aubrey.

ME, I am doing good I have been exercising with my sister Carol on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. Her stake has all the equipment so it's been really nice to do that. I am still trying to get the whole step aerobics down. I guess I am less coordinated then I thought. We do weights, abs and cardio it's been kicking my butt, but I feel good and Aubrey can hang out with all the other kids there. It's been nice living with my grandma she had been keeping me company the last couple of weeks while Luke has got home later. She has been such a blessing for our family right now. I am the Nursery leader again in my new ward I guess I didn't get it right before and needed some more experience. I think Aubrey was praying for me to be her teacher, it will be fine she will be in Sunbeams soon.
This is how I felt the first day I went to exercise. I am doing better now finally!!!!
Anyways hopefully this wasn't too boring we have been all doing great we miss you all and hope to see you soon. Have a great day!!!

updates!!!!

Aubrey fishing at the ponds.. and playing with cousins. Her and her cousin Parker are always getting into trouble. They have dumped out baby cereal and had a food fight got into aunt tamra's makeup. Took the matress of the bed and sliding. We are constantly having to make sure they are not naked. This could be a problem if they keep getting naked. They are having a blast together though.

Emily is 6 mths now rolling and eating and enjoying life. She is such a good baby.

I was trying to get her to smile but it didn't work.

Fun in Utah!!!

We just got back from Utah last night, we left the 14th of August so we were glad to be home and in our own beds. Thursday we stayed at Marisa's thanks for letting us hang out with you. And Friday night we stayed at Marc and Trina's it was good seeing you guys. Then it was off to the airport Saturday the 16th. The girls did so good in the plane. I was so proud of them. Aubrey was so excited to fly in the sky like a bird. On the way back she slept the whole time.

Saturday through Monday morning we stayed at Luke's Uncle Stan's house. His son Robert had his farwell this was the reason we went up there and decided we might as well have a vacation why we were at it. Uncle Stan was so nice and let us use his van all week. THANKS!!!

Monday it was off to Aaron's house Luke me and his parents cleaned up Aunt Linda's yard and Tuesday Luke and his dad painted the garage to earn some money for our vacation.

Wednesday we went to lagoon with Aaron Tara and Alek, it was a lot of fun. Aubrey got to go on her first roller coaster and lots of rides. The roller coasters were crazy fun. We had a great time.



Thursday we all went camping and rode the 4 wheeler. It was a beautiful night and it wasn't that bad sleeping in the tent. It was a little rocky though. We had hot dogs and smores and the kids loved it.

Friday and Saturday we just hang out at Aaron and Tara's.

Sunday and Monday we went to Mary Maulik and Kaleb's house the kids had a blast together. They played so good together and enjoyed themselves.

Over all it was a great trip thanks to all of you that let us stay at your house. We appreciate!!

Baby blessing

Friday I got my haircut for my anniversary present. Tamra did it at her salon my first color at a salon, it was lots of fun. I am so sad I forgot to bring my camera:( Here you can kinda see what it looks like.

Today was my niece Courtney's blessing we had lots of fun with all of the family down.

Family pictures

I think that I need to do family pictures on a day other than Sunday because we are always in a hurry Sunday mornings. With little kids you need more time than just 5 minutes. We got a few though. The one on the stairs is actually after church.
