An elephant is gray

Nathan is going through something. My normally polite, gregarious and solemn child is changing before my eyes. He is still polite and solemn, but....he is just simply disobediant. He looks at you with his big beautiful eyes, shakes his head yes and then proceeds to act out. He antagonizes Noah, he rough houses withNic, he ignores me and Jason....he is just bad. I have my theory about middle children (sorry Jason)..but I wasn't expecting this from Nate.
Recently at school, he has taken to holding my legs and crying...what is this all about? Nate was the most independent child I had and he loves school so why now...? My mom suggest that since he didn't go through the terrible 2's then I should prepare for the terrible 3's. Just pray for me~!
This is my Valentine gift from Nate this year! It's his handprint (we love those and keep all of them) and his first school attempt at writing his name! Maybe there is hope for him after all....:)!Posted by Picasa

Sounds like we are both going through some trying times. By looking @ pictures, you would never guess that Nate is the one who misbehaves.

Beautiful Utah

Beautiful Utah
This is just one of the beautiful views we have in Tooele, Utah. It is so amazing seeing the mountains everyday. When I look at the mountains, I can only think God is amazing.

Waiting for Nicholas

Waiting for Nicholas
Since we have been iin Utah, I have been waiting on my last child. One of the first rooms that was completed was Nic's room. I can't wait for his arrival and I can't believe how close we are to seeing his beautiful face.

Daddy in Uniform
Jason always looks so good in his uniform. It has been 9 years in and he still looks like a 2nd LT.

Nicholas is actually in this picture in a way, I am about 6 months pregnant. These pictures were to get a snapshot of our family before our last child was born.

Don't go to work Daddy!

Noah and Nathan enjoy some time with Daddy before he heads off to work.
