A much needed beach trip!

The newest beach beauty!

Hangin' with the boys!

Nolan doing his "karate moves" at the waves

Chase cool!

Boogie Boarding was a real hit!

Couldn't get enough sand!

More and more sand!

Back to School!

Anxiously waiting for the bus...

Chase is in 2nd grade...what is happening to the time?

Nolan has finally started Kindergarten and he couldn't be more excited.

He loves his class and his teacher!

And they're off...what am I going to do with 2 girls at home?

Kate has answered that question.

Our house now involves a lot of kitchen and house playing.


And we couldn't be happier!

Newest pics (and some older ones)

Baby Lily is really a good baby, however, when the camera comes out she screams!
Guess who LOVES her baby sister??

A desperate attempt to get some pictures of the girls in their matching dresses proved too much work for all involved!

Hates the "sink bath"...thankfully we have moved to the baby bath.

My favorite picture! Nolan wanted to come with Hank to the hospital to see baby Lily each time Hank would come up. This occassion, he came alone with Hank and it was such a special time!

My next favorite picture...the peeping sister wanting every part of this new situation.

Lily Armstrong

Lily was born on May 31 at 6:30pm after my water broke while I was cleaning the bathroom floor (no joke!). She was 8 lbs 5 oz and 20 1/2 inches long.


Kate is not getting the attention she needs as shown here...she got herself dressed for church today!

I promise more pictures will be uploaded when I have more than 5 minutes at a time!

Pictures of the past 5 months

Finally an Update...

Since my last post many wonderful things have happened...

1. Hank was called to be the Bishop of our ward

2. Pregnant and due beginning of June

3. Completed my third half marathon and this time...10 1/2 weeks pregnant

4. The fun-filled holidays with young believers around!

5. A lot of unexpected snow for the Birmingham area...Snow days!

6. Kate broke her wrist

7. We're having another little girl

These are just some of the reasons I have not posted... But the pictures highlight all that took place between now and the last post. I mean, truly, that is all anyone wants to see anyway...right??
