Oh My, I suck at this blog thing

So Peyton is now 9 months, on Dec 6th.. Reyna turned 12 on November 18th... Josalyn is going to be 9 Jan 4th and Kia turned 6 back in July... and here I am forever and a day since I last updated our Family Blog.... I will blame it on the always good to go back on having four kids, a husband... but really that is no excuse.. I see these wonderful mother and wives that are keeping up with the blog world. So who I am to place the blame elsewhere.

So let me go in order starting with Reyna. Yes she is now 12!! Is in young woman's and is loving it. I am so happy for her!! She gets to start the next chapter in her life. Although I can't wait to be on for the ride, I am sure that it is going to be a roller coaster for the teenager years. I just pray that I can teach her everything she needs to know.... I question this on a daily bases. I am so thankful that she will have the gospel as her stepping stone and crutch as she grows. I look back and think about how different I would have lived those years if I had the gospel in my life. Not only the gospel but that wonderful example of the other kids at that age. I am thankful that she will have that in her life. I love watching her grow everyday.. yes I have my concerns, but I love watching the young lady that she is becoming. Even if she has a patch of hot pink, or bright blue in her hair ;-)

Josalyn is almost 9!! It is so hard for me to grasp this. She has grown so much over the summer. I love watching her with Peyton... it is so cute!! She is doing great in school. The one thing about Josalyn that those that know her see, she is the most caring and loving little soul. She is always so concerned about everyone around her.. I am trying to teach her that sometimes she has to stop and focus on herself also, she doesn't like that idea.

Kia is crazy silly Kia. The things that come out of her mouth on a daily bases crack me up. She is loving school, making good friends. She is a silly all over the place full of energy girl!!

All three played soccer this season.. boy was that hectic! Ben assistant coached Reyna's team. But that meant soccer 6 days a week, including Ben playing. Reyna was asked to play AllStars this season so we are really excited for her!!

Now to my little Peyton, or Peytter Tatter!! She is now nine months old. She has been crawling for about three months now. But she is so done with that and has been trying to walk.. she has taken up to five steps. She's been cruising along furniture for some time, maybe two months. I love spending my days with her, not missing a moment. I love being home just her and I.. I am trying to hold onto every little moment.

I hope that you all have a wonderful Holiday Season. We are going to be able to spend sometime with Lindsay and Jack, we are so excited about that!! We are going to be able to spend time with both our families this Christmas. My cousin is expected to have a baby any day now.. can't wait for that!! We hope that you all find yourself with those that love and warm your hearts. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
