The Girls hanging out together. They have fun and I am sure when Emily is bigger they will have even more fun together.
The other day I came into the room and this is what was happening. Aubrey was being my little helper and said that Emily had a dirty diaper and that she wanted to change her so she got a wipe and diaper. It was funny so I had to take a picture. They defiantly keep my busy and entertained.

Updates!!

Emily is 9mths now she is growing up fast. She Army crawls everywhere and loves to get on all fours but just hasn't guite figured out what to do after that. Her favorite word is Ma Ma Ma. I very happy that I was her first word. She Is a very happy baby which is such a blessing. She also loves to smile and crawl under anything and everything. Her new found game is hide and seek. I am constantaly trying to find her she is always behind one of the chairs or underneath so I have to be really careful. She gets around fast now.

Aubrey is now three and is talking non stop. She will talk to anyone. It only takes her a second before she is asking someone there name and wants to play with them. We went to mesa for a interview and stayed with marsha and Gary that was lots of fun.
Monday we went to the temple lights with Luke's family. It is so pretty and and the nativities our cool to look at from all of the different countries.
Tuesday we went shopping with grandma and Aubrey got to play at the mall play ground. Than Tuesday night we went to visit my Aunt Janice and went to my cousin house for dinner, thanks it was good.
This was so cute Aubrey just barely met this girl and they hit it off. The girl was helping Aubrey get on the present so I had to take a picture.
Emily got a hold of a marker, it was a lot worse. She puts everything in her mouth now.

We have had lots of fun this passed couple of weeks we went to Our Aunt patty's house and had a family home evening with all of the family here in Thatcher. It was fun, Aubrey got to be a angel for the nativity scene.Luke passed the first part of the interview and has a phone interview on tuesday for USAA so we shall see how it turns out. What ever the lord has in store for us we are ready and willing.

Keeping the faith

Well we are surviving with no job right now thanks too grandma and family. We went up to Mesa right after he got laid off to help move Luke's sister Tonya and her three kids. Him and his dad flew to Kansas and drove the Uhaul back to Arizona. We are glad that they are living in Arizona now.

We decided to just stay until Thanksgiving so we were there for two weeks. Thanksgiving was nice we spent it with Luke's family in Surprise. Than Friday after thanksgiving Luke and I got to go on a date. I got Luke Suns tickets for his birthday. Too bad they lost and Nash didn't play because he got hurt. Luke was bummed about that, but it was still nice to go on a date.
Now we are back to reality and still looking for a job. We have put some resumes out and hope to hear from some of them soon. With everyone getting laid off we pretty much realize now that we are going to have to find a job somewhere else, there is just not that much out there right now.

We are doing good though, Enjoying having Luke home while we can and the girls love playing with daddy. I think he is ready to work again and realizes just how much moms do. Aubrey is growing up fast and will be in Sunbeams soon!!! Hard to believe that I have a child in Primary.
Emily is good she is such a good baby, still no teeth though. Poor girl has to gum everything.
Over all we considered ourselves very blessed this holiday season and know that the lord has a plan for us.

Keep on going.....

Well do you want the good news or the bad news first? Well I will start with the good news who whats to hear bad news right off the bat. Luke gets to watch all of the suns games and doesn't have to work shift work now. OK did you figure out the bad news, yep he got laid off from his job along with 400 hundred other people from the mines. The economy it's bad right now that is all I can say. I am sure that many of you have been effected by this as well. We are in good spirits right now because we know that we have been so blessed. We are not having to worry about rent or a morgage becuase my wonderful grandma has been so good to let us stay with her. We have family that has offered to help us in anyway that we need and most important we have a Heavenly father that is aware of our needs and will bless us I know that he will. He has so much all ready. We will continue to keep the faith and enjoy the blessings of this trail and start now looking for a job. IF YOU KNOW OF ANYTHING LET US KNOW!!!!

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.

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!!!
