Congrats Dr. Loveland

This is a little late but I just wanted to say a big CONGRATULATIONS to my husband Jared for finally graduating Dental School. It was a long four years of endless studying, late late nights, long daily commuting, very hard work and and endless supply of dedication but you finally made it and I am so proud of you for this major accomplishment. You deserve it!!


Jared's parents were able to fly out to celebrate this special occasion with us.

One last chance for us to visit the school and show the kids where daddy has been the last four years ( they are even pretending to be his patients )

Saying Goodbye to Friends!

Janell and Ashley.. I am going to miss you so much!!

Congratulations Ashley..I mean Dr. Heid :)

Our days here in Pennsylvania are coming to an end and it is time for the much dreaded goodbye to all of our friends. We have met some amazing people here and it has been such a big help to have friends that are in our same situation so we can be a support system for each other. We will miss you all and good luck to each of you!!!

Happy Birthday Corb!!

I cannot believe Corbin is now 4 yrs old. I remember moving to Pennsylvania when he was 3 months old and thinking how when we are done with school Corbin will be 4 yrs old and here he is the BIG 4!! Corbin is such a fun little boy and one of my most favorite things about him is his unique little personality ( or should I say big personality ) He is always saying the funniest things and he makes me laugh everyday. I love you Corb!!

Happy 1st Birthday!

Our little Brinley is now a big 1year old. Where does the time go! I cannot believe how fast that year flew by. It seems like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. She is such a sweet little girl and the boys are just as obsessed with her today as the day we brought her home.

Here she is trying to open her presents. Gotta love the spiderman wrapping paper...sorry that's all we had:)

Since she loves cars so much we figured we should get her some cars a little more age appropriate

She loved the cake although I think she played in more than anything...what a mess!!

Happy Birthday Brinley! We love you so much. You have brought so much joy to our lives and we are so lucky to have you as our daughter.

Cars cars and more cars

Brinley LOVES cars. Here she is playing with lots of them and loving every minute of it. I was pretending to be a professional ( note the white sheet ) trying to get some cute shots of her but she refused to sit still so we handed her some cars and these are the pictures we got. Not quite what I was aiming for but still cute none the less.

First Word!!

Brinley has said her first word beside the usual dada and mama and it is......CAR. Although it comes out as...CA. So far she couldn't care less about little girl toys. All she wants to play with are the boys and their cars. As long as she lets me put pretties in her hair and bracelets on her she can play with all the little boy toys she wants.

Little Miss Messy!

Now that Brinley is crawling all over the place she has quickly learned how to get into anything and everything. Here is a little example of her favorite areas for destruction....

But how do you get mad at this face :)

Happy Birthday Brody!

Little Brody is 6 years old! Where has the time gone. We had a little party with just us on his birthday and then he had a party with some of his friends later in the month (better late than never:). He had such a good time and yes he is still obsessed with Transformers.

Don't I Look Pretty!

This is what happens to a little girl when her big brothers get a hold of all her accessories....

Playing in the Snow!!

The kids LOVE to play in the snow. We finally had a day where it was not 10 degrees outside so they were able to go out and have some fun.

Christmas In Utah!

We spent Christmas in Utah this year and we had so much fun. It had been a while since we had been back so it was really good to see all of our family and let the kids get reacquainted with everyone. It's hard because there is so much to do and not enough time to do it in so there were some things and people we did not get a chance to see. Knowing we are almost done with school made it really hard to come back to Pennsylvania. It hasn't been easy being away from family these past few years. It will be nice when we can finally move back and be close to everyone again.

Brinley's first plane ride!!

For our Loveland Christmas party we went swimming at the Clearfield Aquatic center. Then we went over to Aaron and Paige's house so the kids could exchange gifts. We had such a blast. The kids had such a good time swimming with their cousins. Brinley is quite the little water baby!

Corbin showing off his HUGE muscles :)

Kids in Christmas Jammie's!

Apparently Brinley's Christmas present was good enough to eat

Sledding with cousins, FUN!

For another Christmas party we went ice skating at the Ice Sheet in Ogden. It turns out Brody is a pretty good little ice skater. Don't let the bandaged up eyebrow and ice burn on his cheek fool you :)

Some pamper time with my big sis!

My niece Jessie, my sister Tina, my mom and me. Don't we look beautiful?
